This Guy Is Waiting To Be Slapped
Paragliding is an adrenaline-pumping adventure sport involving an engine-less parachute-like wingsuit to soar through the air. It's an exhilarating way to get a bird's-eye view of stunning landscapes. People of all ages and experience levels enjoy the thrill of paragliding, from those participating in competitive events to the more casual recreational fliers.
This guy's mischievous side slipped in, and decided to attempt to yank the strings of this woman's bikini top! Whether they were already acquainted and just wanted to get a laugh on camera, or the guy was way too bold, remains a mystery. All we know is that paragliding is a fun yet risky affair!
A Happy Headless Child
This tiny genius was pulling out all the stops for a memorable outfit for Halloween. He had enlisted his sibling's assistance to flash the camera a mischievous grin. But who would have guessed this good-natured fun could have such a potentially dangerous side?
Time and again, the National Institute of Health has cautioned against smaller kids burying each other in the sand; the consequences could be deadly. It's admirable that this kid could think up an inventive costume ahead of the spooky season. Still, everyone must also be aware of potential threats to safety, even when playing around in the beach.
And That Was The Day She Became A Rebel
That sign prohibited the three things this girl was excited about: the dog, the bicycle, and swimming. But based on her stance, this young gal is contemplating being rebellious. With her dog in tow, she is ready to take her bike and swim to somewhere great! The sun is shining, and no one can stop.
But on a serious note, it's best to follow protocol. And if you're going swimming, do so in a lifeguarded area. Whatever your age or swimming skill level, we suggest not going alone. Lastly, check the weather and water conditions. Do all this, and you're sure to enjoy your day by the ocean!
What A Way To Steal The Spotlight
The sun was bright and the sand inviting as this woman posed, silently hoping to be the subject of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit photo shoot. Her expression screamed "Vogue!" and her outfit was perfect. But, as luck would have it, the two dogs fooling around in the background didn't care.
Apparently, "mating season" was in full swing because the poor woman's chances of being a model that day was cut short—not by her, but by nature! So, tonight's lessons are to leave the photoshoots to the professionals and spay or neuter your pet! Spaying and neutering pets is a great way to avoid unplanned, unwanted pregnancies.
Baby, That's Not Milk!
The baby in this snap was holding a bottle, but it was all for show—it was not the right kind of bottle! You're too young for that, kid. Stick to milk. Though too much of it can be harmful, what most people don't know is that too much water can be dangerous to babies too.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, excess water intake can lead to water intoxication, which causes the dilution of electrolytes due to immature kidneys that cannot process the water correctly. Fortunately, this isn't a widespread problem... unless the baby is drinking puddles of it!
What An Adorable Sandman!
What's a better substitute for the snowman in the summer months than a sandman? As seen in this magnificent snapshot, beaches filled with sand are the perfect medium for crafting one of these sandy displays of creativity. We'd love to see more of them or even sand angels!
In 1897, Atlantic City got a permanent sand artist, Philip McCord, who began crafting intricate sand sculptures along the boardwalk. That was until 1944 when a hurricane caused authorities to sadly ban the activity. We're sure the sandman is still alright, though, as long as it won't be a nuisance or danger to others.
That Dolphin Isn't Enjoying Any Of This
We couldn't believe our eyes when we spotted these two guys carrying a visibly distressed dolphin towards the shore, throwing its whole aquatic life into jeopardy. This shows a complete disregard for laws meant to protect marine mammals and the delicate balance of the aquatic ecosystem.
Fortunately, dolphins are covered under the Marine Mammal Protect Act, so we hope the authorities step in to prevent further harm to them and other marine life. All humans should know by now the intelligence and importance of dolphins and never interfere in their natural way of living. After all, decent human beings must actively avoid damaging one of nature's brightest animals.
When You Ask Life For A Sign
Bringing pets to the beach is a great way to make the most of a sunny day, but check local regulations first. Plenty of fun activities can be done, from playing frisbee and fetch to surfing with furry friends!
A comical scene played out at one beach when a pup seemed to take the regulations a bit too seriously! It was so excited about its treat that it leaped up and hilariously imitated the sign right next to it. Whether this was an intentional act of showing off or just pure excitement, it reminded us why pets and beaches make the perfect combination.
Ariel's Looking A Lot Like King Triton These Days
Down by the beach, there was a sight that would shock anyone: a young man dressed in a full-fledged "Little Mermaid" costume! He had a green tail and a sequined bikini top while sporting a head accessory to give his whole look a magical flair. However, he had a long beard instead of red locks.
Another noticeable thing is he actually bore a striking resemblance to King Triton instead of Ariel herself. The character is actually the youngest of the king's seven daughters, meant to represent the seven seas. The astonished beachgoers couldn't help but watch as this man fulfilled his mermaid dreams.
Will You Play With Me?
It was a lovely, sunny day at the beach when this puppy's owners decided to take it with them and spend the morning bonding. However, it wasn't content with lazing around in the sun and slowly came to life, wanting to explore and play. Unfortunately, its owners forgot about their pet's need for constant attention.
Puppies can be mischievous, and this one was pictured in the middle of being just that! They sniff, chase their tail, and dream (yep, they do, too!); all these are natural canine conducts. However, a detrimental demeanor compelled by separation anxiety can be tough to handle.
Attention-Grabbing Human Surfboarding
These men had the girls' attention in a way none of us could understand. It looked like they had outsmarted gravity! Even the Man of Steel, Superman himself, would be impressed. The DC Comics superhero can fly due to the higher gravity on his planet Krypton. Could these men have also found a way to cheat physics?
It seemed like some sort of superhero power, and the gals at the back might agree. In the end, they were left with some questions and lots of admiration. Who knew that two seemingly ordinary guys could make such an impression and defy science at the same time!
This Ape Is Having Too Much Fun
The star of this show was definitely the monkey! He must have been quite popular among the ladies, as pictures of them posing with him were all over the internet. But this isn't too surprising: monkeys are known to be exceptionally social and curious creatures.
According to the TreeHugger website, monkeys sleep in tall trees with spread-out branches, so they can simply swing away if a predator comes by. Also, some monkeys have even been known to crack open clams with rocks to munch on the delicious meat inside. How cool is that? Perhaps it's why this one was by the sea.
This Premium Seat Has A View Of The Ocean
That woman just wanted to relax on the beach and bury herself in the sand. So whoever decided to put that dog on top of her better pray that it didn't answer nature's call while looking into the ocean casually. Come to think of it, that guy with his head cropped on the picture must be responsible for that dog being there.
According to PetKeen, dogs typically go to the bathroom about 30 minutes after scarfing down their meal due to a process called the gastro-colic reflex. They don't eliminate what they just consumed but what they had the day or hours prior.
The Bachelor Goes To The Beach
Being the only single person in a group of friends can make one feel lonely. This poor guy was 'fifth-wheeling' harder than ever at a recent beach outing. At this moment, he was probably starting to feel like the star of his own reality show, like "The Bachelor," where no one picked him.
Fortunately, thanks to a 2019 Pew Research study, he isn't actually alone in his singleness. As it turns out, about four out of ten American respondents are in the same boat as him. While he'd rather have found his true love, at least he is reassured he isn't the only one waiting for it to arrive.
What In The World Is This?!
We can only admire the woman on the left for her incredible flexibility! Her skill might even be enough to challenge the current record holder, Liberty Barros, also known as Liberty Low Down, famously known as the "World's Most Flexible Girl."
In 2020, Barros not only proved her name true but also gained an official Guinness World Record when she showed her unique talent of performing 11 bends in just 30 seconds. She did it by making sure her ribs touched the ground, too! Truly an impressive athleticism that leaves us wondering: who will be the next "World's Most Flexible Girl?"
The Three Beachside Musketeers
This beachside scene of a boy, a parrot, and a monkey curled up together, sharing a snack, had us scratching our heads in confusion. How exactly did these three become such fast friends? You've heard of the classic combo of a kid and their pet dog, but these two creatures aren't that typical.
We've seen households keep talking birds like this parrot as a pet, but it's not every day that families go for a monkey. There's a hot debate about keeping them as pets; experts don't recommend these animals simply because they aren't meant to be held at home.
The Rainbow That Comes With The Rain
Imagine yourself as a beachgoer looking in awe as this rainbow bounces off the pristine sand onto the tranquil ocean waves. Suddenly, what appears to be a perfectly placed multicolored arc over the skies and into the horizon was disrupted by this sight. Like us, you'll probably be disgusted but impressed at the same time. It's an undeniably perfectly-time snap, after all.
According to National Geographic, light hitting water droplets at a specific angle leads to rainbows. You'll be amazed to learn that this phenomenon is an optical illusion that produces colors always in order, from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
Doing Some Cheeky Yoga
This photo is a funny reminder that playful mischief is unavoidable and often unexpected. The couple in the foreground seemed unaware of the photobombing happening right behind them. We're talking about that one beachgoer that appeared to be doing yoga. And while she was in that pose, her friend couldn't help but quickly whip out a spanking for her.
This snapshot captures the moment perfectly, providing a moment of laughter and amusement for anyone who notices the cheeky photobombing. Despite the harshness (or lack thereof) of the spanking, it's all in good fun, reminding us to stay lighthearted even in photos.
So This Is What They Call Couchsurfing!
Couchsurfing is a fantastic way to connect with people and experience different cultures worldwide. You can meet locals who can share their unique stories with you and introduce you to their favorite places. It also allows anyone to explore communities by sharing meals, memories, and laughs.
Another thing we love about couchsurfing is that it turns strangers into friends and neighbors into family members. It's an opportunity to develop lifelong friendships and cherish unforgettable experiences. And best of all, it usually doesn't cost a penny. These guys, though, took the word literally by doing this crazy antic. And look at those fins—it's so ridiculous that it's funny!
You're Cordially Invited To This Penguin Wedding
You know it's a proper winter-themed wedding when two penguins are the ones saying their "I do's." The ceremony had all the elements one would expect at a human ceremony-costumes galore and a perfectly behaved entourage and guests.
Penguins are fascinating creatures! They are famously monochrome and love to waddle around on land, but they are mighty swimmers underwater, using their wings as fins. Found mainly in the Southern Hemisphere, their coats provide superb insulation from the cold. Seeing a colony of this species with their fat bellies and signature upright posture is an endearing sight many people never forget.
Captain Of Cuteness
This canine captain had a tough day out on the sea, but luckily, his ship returned in one piece. He even managed to bring back that net! Kidding aside, this photoshoot must've been a breeze because golden retrievers are beloved for their obedience and loyalty.
The American Kennel Club recognizes that golden retrievers are mostly preferred as therapy animals due to their natural empathy and compassion. Additionally, they have incredibly soft mouths that allow them to handle fragile objects like eggs without breaking the shell. Of course, we can't forget how cute and adorable they are. Just look at this doggo with his captain cap!
It's 'Nun' Of Yo' Business
One modern example of a Catholic nun is Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who dedicated her life to helping the poor and destitute. During her life, she won a Nobel Prize and countless other awards.
This time, it's time to meet the surfing nun! Her religious devotion has never stopped her from carving waves, even if she has to wear her habit and rosary beads in the water. Her modesty prevents her from caring about the attention she often receives from beachgoers. At the end of her surf sessions, she thanks God for allowing her to spend time in the ocean and rides the waves back to shore.
Some Odd-Looking Ducks
At the beach, a woman wearing a blue bikini proudly showed off her friends—two ducks perched on her chest. She preened and posed for pictures with amused beachgoers, who couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of the ducks. If anyone started staring a bit too long, she could just scream at them and say, "Stop looking at my ducks!" Genius.
These birds are always ready to put on a show, and that's why they are some of the most entertaining creatures around. This could be the reason why this gal chose them as the design for their eye-catching swimwear.
One Yummy Human Bite
These two clever gal pals are at it with their crazy antics! Not content with regular optical illusions, they decided to attempt the most intricate of time-honored tricks: making it look like they're snacking without actually snacking. Of course, they had to give it a twist, so one snacked on the other.
Speaking of snacks, anything goes, but packing foods rich in fiber, protein, and moisture can keep swimmers energized and hydrated. Women's Health suggests raspberries and chocolate chips per fruit. And if you want a refreshing treat, go for peaches or frozen grapes. Don't forget to bring frozen water bottles to relieve sunburn, just in case.
He Found Himself A Sand Pal
This little boy and his feathered friend had quite an adventure, burying half of his body in the sand. His parents must have been concerned when they saw that the boy had created his own little beach paradise with the help of his avian sidekick. Thankfully, the kid avoided the dangers of the bird's droppings.
While the overwhelming majority don't experience any ill effects from coming in contact with bird poop, it's still important to be mindful of any potential pathogens that come with it. Overall, it was a fun-filled day that this boy will remember for quite some time.
Please, Do Not Tempt The Crabs
It's incredible what we can find on the internet these days. Just when you thought you'd seen it all, a video of a crab smoking a cigarette went viral in 2020. While the sight of it may be amusing to some, it is a stark reminder of what happens when we don't dispose of our trash properly.
Beach authorities have been putting up warning signs concerning the effects of smoking on public health, but alas, it seems like a particular crab had to take matters into his own claws to make the world pay attention! Here's to better pollution policies and healthier habits, starting with a coastal clean-up.
One Final Chance To Photobomb
This group of friends was having the time of their lives at the beach, dressed in matching shorts, fanny packs, and some fabulous pair of sunglasses. They were making memories that would last forever—until they had an unexpected visitor. A group of officers was with him in photobombing the fun.
We just hope he was read his Miranda rights, given to people in America upon arrest. It was a quick reminder that the law is always watching, even in the smiles of vacation. One wrong move and the consequences can be serious. Thankfully, the mischief this time around was fairly minor.
That Man's Not Feeling The Love
This couple would do anything for the perfect shot. They even brought picture-ready horses in tow and a man to guide them. And based on the pictures that came out, not this one, we bet no one knew he was there because he was cropped out.
The gentleman seems to be having a hard time in the waters. Meanwhile, those horses seem to be doing just alright. Sure, they are land animals, but thanks to their big lungs, they can float and even become competent swimmers when they take a dip. Whoever said you couldn't pose with horses in water never tried it.
All Emotions In The Ocean
Going to the beach is generally a fun experience for most people, but it's not always a welcomed change of scenery for some. However, science has confirmed what many of us already know: something must be said for getting our dose of "vitamin sea."
A recent study found that people who go to the beach are often more relaxed than those who do not. This could result from the calming blue color that the ocean often evokes, a reminder of peace and serenity. So for those naysayers out there, listen to science and book that beach trip before it's too late!
A Wolf Among Some Pretty Sheep
At first glance, this group of friends could be hard to tell apart. Everyone was rocking the same poses, but a closer look revealed one that shouldn't be there, like a wolf hiding in plain sight among sheep. Yes, the man in the back of the line! His jogging pants and rubber trainers were the only thing that didn't match the beach-chic vibe of the rest of the squad.
On the subject of shoes at the beach, EliteDaily says the best pair consists of a foam called EVA, designed to shield our feet from seashells and corals. That ol' man could've at least worn the proper footwear.
A Walking Herbalist
This mysterious figure by the shore of the beach had people intrigued. Was it a wandering herbalist or a man on a mission to clean up the coast? Whatever the case, this unnamed traveler had amassed an avid following from beachgoers, as this picture had proven. It had become quite a conversation point for many.
The man's chef attire surely did not go with the ambiance of his surroundings. Then again, we're hoping that whatever his initiative was, it could help others love nature even more. The Wave Tribe website reported how significant clean-up initiatives are in diminishing land and water pollution.
Ready To Build A Sand-Human
The beach is a premier location for photoshoots. And this photographer set themselves apart by coming up with an inventive technique to create an optical illusion of a giant pail that seemed to scoop up the woman and the boy. This idea was a smashing success judging by the woman's sparkling grin.
Beyond photography, the beach is also an avenue for creativity. It's thanks to surface tension that we can make sandcastles. This remarkable phenomenon allows us to create intricate mounds that withstand the strong ocean breezes. Every second spent with the sea is ripe with potential for fun and excitement.
Please, Madam, May I Have Some?
Looking at the picture, it's easy to think that the woman's children are pestering her for food. But it's not quite what it looks like; the actual characters in this drama are proboscis monkeys at a tourist attraction site begging for food. Little do they know they've become a massive issue in some areas!
Just like real munchkins, their secret weapon is their swimming ability. National Geographic notes that these creatures have webbed feet, which help them search for food in the water. However, no one knows how long they can hold their breath when submerged. Such an intriguing species, indeed.
The Brawns Of The Relationship
We love this picture because it shows two impressive women with fit bodies, easily carrying two muscular boys. It's clear that they love bonding over weightlifting and have succeeded in creating strong, toned physiques.
There's a myth that weightlifting causes women to become bulky, but we are here to assure you that it's far from the truth! It takes hard work, training, and a balanced diet to achieve the desired look; no talent or luck is involved. We can only admire the positive and inspiring view these two strong women are setting and hope that more follow in their footsteps.
It's Time We Make Tree Riding A Sport
This couple seemed to be on the same page about what's funny and not, but we must give them props for their animated poses. And despite how it appears lying there, we don't think the coconut tree is dead.
Coconut trees are abundant in tropical regions, and their versatility makes them a miracle of nature. Its juice has been used throughout countless centuries and even found to have properties that are identical to human plasma! During World War II, nurses would actually rely on coconut juice for its life-saving restorative properties. Who knew a simple tree could be such a lifesaver?
What's To Worry About The Waves?
The woman seemed unconcerned about the rising high tide, although the two girls behind her appeared stressed. We can feel the anxiety, even if we only see their legs standing there. It is essential to check the tide charts before going to the beach, but this gal didn't seem to have done that.
She either fell asleep or was totally unaware of the situation. Still, the girls couldn't help but hope for a happy ending to this coastal thriller. One thing is for sure, this experience was certainly more exciting than they were expecting for a typical day by the sea.
Well, That's Weird… Weirdly Amazing!
Takeshi Yamada is a true modern artist. Not only was he educated by two leading universities for the arts, but he also pairs what he's learned with his imagination and creativity to bring non-existent creatures to life. As seen in the picture, the taxidermist is holding a Coney Island sea rabbit called Seara—something that doesn't even exist in reality!
Yes, Yamada's incredible artistry allows him to make the impossible a reality, and he's certainly an artist to watch and admire. But we have to admit, we initially found it hard to focus on one thing in the picture because there's a lot going on.
Nice Hat! It's Mine Now!
The mystery of seagull thievery goes deeper than stolen chips! In Paignton, Devon, United Kingdom, there's an infamous seagull that has come to be known by Tesco staffers as "Steven the Seagull." Not only has Steven been seen taking somewhat meaningless items like packets of cheese sandwiches, but he's even been spotted stealing Doritos to share them with a friend.
The seagull in this photo is caught stealing a hat, but it should be taking notes from Steven. What is it going to do with a cap anyway? We may never know, but we've at least learned that seagulls shouldn't be messed with.
Because It Doesn't Always Come Naturally
"How to Be Black" is comedian Baratunde Thurston's autobiography that explores African American stereotypes and social identities concerning Caucasian counterparts. In it, the writer chronicles his coming-of-blackness. We marvel at how relaxed this kid was while reading the seriously satirical comedic memoir and maintaining concentration.
Several studies reveal that noise can have a detrimental effect on concentration. Yet despite the possible distractions, this reader remained composed and exuded a friendly, charismatic energy, proving that some people thrive under chaotic conditions. Then again, the waves must be helping this kid concentrate better since we don't consider that as noisy at all.
Team 'Em Young, They Say
Kids are some of the most inquisitive and eager observers of the world. They learn through watching and trying out different things, often without worrying about moral implications. They are likely to mimic their parents and the adults around them, trying to fit in and belong. This can be cause for concern if the adults themselves act incorrectly.
As such, parents should take extra care to ensure they are setting a good example, as their kids will likely follow their lead. However, sometimes it can make for an amusing and intriguing sight—children joyfully taking on the roles of adults without even understanding the idea of right or wrong.
So, Who's The Photobomber Here?
This photo is confusing. Who's photobombing who?! The two women in the picture look like quite the pair, though. Despite one being the actual photobomber, both look striking as they stroll in the heat, looking like they have no care what the world thinks.
This image reminds us that aging is a natural process because it's normal for our locks to slowly turn grayer and for our skin to gradually lose elasticity. Though both signs reflect the passing of time, they should be embraced and celebrated! As Healthline noted, there's no shame in the process, and it should be appreciated.
Just Admit That We Went The Wrong Way!
Nowadays, it's incredibly easy to travel without needing to know your exact destination. Thanks to the Waze app, you don't need to worry about getting lost! Of course, it's always helpful to have the help of GPS to avoid common disasters, like getting stuck in a flooded area. Unfortunately, cars don't tend to work afterward after being submerged in water.
The owner's first instinct may be to attempt to repair it or attach a new ignition switch, but sometimes it's not worth it anymore. So, if you don't want to risk an unexpected adventure, using Waze and GPS could save the day!
How Not To Drown 101
This picture paints a comical yet telling image. On the one hand, you have a woman being safe with her properly designed and worn vest; on the other, you have a man laughing off the risks with his makeshift floatie.
Studies show that this unsafely curious mindset is a massive factor in why males tend to have shorter lifespans. Girls lead longer lives because they prioritize prevention and self-care more than boys on an international scale. It might seem funny, but a lesson can be learned: stay safe, float with a proper vest, and aim for a long life like female killer whales, who can live up to 90.
At Least He Was Still In The Picture
We're completely enthralled by the sight of these gorgeous women strutting their stuff at the beach, looking like they've come straight out of a swimsuit magazine! Seeing that the dude coming out of the water wasn't included in the set strikes a little pang of guilt, but you can't deny that the scene of the shore and these gals are breathtaking. The guy was at least in the picture somehow.
Not every beach is pristine due to tourists. However, ones like Papakolea in Hawaii, Cayo Levantado Island in the Dominican Republic, and Auroville in India are still able to keep their waters crystal clear and gorgeous.
A Work-At-Shore Setup
It pays to disconnect once in a while. Working non-stop can be detrimental to your health, and taking regular breaks to recharge your batteries is necessary. Studies prove that going on vacation helps reduce stress levels, increase optimism, and foster productivity.
This particular beach-goer was not fooling anyone—he was taking a break but clearly still bringing work with him! A reminder to all of us that leaving the laptop at home is necessary for a successful holiday. So, unplug the electronics, and get back to nature! Well, that's unless he was planning to actually work from the shore, then that's alright.
