In terrible human being news, a Facebook user is being bashed after she mistook a Philippine Flying Lemur, locally known as Kagwang, for an aswang.
The lemur is shown being restrained and looking visibly distraught. There is no news on how the animal was caught and if it is still alive.
The FB user in question claims that the animal was attacking other creatures in the area. However, the Philippine Flying Lemur is a folivore, meaning it mainly eats leaves. The animal is also listed as an endangered species.
In an unrelated note, there now must be an IQ prerequisite before signing up for social media, and that we should have stricter laws for animal abuse. Get on it, Digong!
We all have that one annoying neighbour. It’s either the one who always borrows our stuff and never returns it, the nosy ones who stare at you from their window, or the noisy ones who take your demands to turn their volume down as a helpful suggestion.
Well, one guy had an incredibly annoying downstairs neighbour. In this case, the annoying neighbors would react violently whenever he decided to walk around his own house at night. Let Imgur user 2amandwideawake give you the lowdown:
“Soooo backstory. My downstairs neighbors were dicks. To the point where even tip toeing around my apt past 10 PM would elicit banging on the ceiling (floor?) and eventually escalated to the cops being called b/c my washer machine was being run at 9 PM.”
And this is when he decided to retaliate:
And maybe, just maybe he creeped them out a bit too much.
The man further adds, he “regrets nothing.” Meanwhile, Lucifer must be crying tears of joy.
One brave man decided to do the unthinkable and punish his innards.
Youtube channel Bad Things for Bad People uploaded a video of a man juicing numerous McDonald’s cheeseburger meals. Said juice included the burger, fries, and coke.
The result is a brown, thick mess, along with any shred of humanity we have left. The video ended with a man drinking the concoction, and may God have mercy on his soul. The big question here is, why? Why would you want to torture your stomach like this?
Just in time for the rainy season, scientists have discovered the first amphibious centipede. The damn thing is called Scolopendra cataracta (Latin for “waterfall”), can grow up to 7.9 inches and is found in Southeast Asia, National Geographic reports.
What makes it amphibious? It’s the first known centipede to hunt in the water. Also like all centipedes, Scolopendra cataracta is venomous. Though it won’t kill you, it’s enough to cause agonizing pain for days that can spread through the entire length of a leg or arm. The good news is that the bite does not cause any long-lasting effects. So, yay?
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, this happens. Next thing you know, there’s another bigger centipede waiting to be discovered. Wait a minute. There’s already an even bigger one.
