wtf

You've probably heard of baby-proofing your space, maybe even cat-proofing it, but have you ever considered that there might be a need to cockatoo-proof your garbage bins? Well, if you're living in Australia, we think you're about to consider it. 

We have always known that cockatoos were kind of jerks. Why else would cockatoos go around biting kangaroo tails to get to their food? But now... now, we're officially scared. Because these cockatoos are getting smarter, and apparently, they have developed the ability to open up trash bins in masses.

It is Sunday morning, ladies and gentlemen, and that means that it's time to finally open our eyes and... close them again, take a short nap, end up sleeping in until midday, but then! It's time to do the most important thing, an obligation that every animal lover has on Sunday morning, and that's... laughing at some hissterical animal tumblr posts.

That's right. Every single week, we make sure that the first thing you open your eyes to on Sunday morning is fresh animal tumblr posts that will get your right in your funny bone. So, sleep in, everyone, and laugh at these funny animal memes and posts with one eye closed and the other only barely open. And then take a nap again, because it's Sunday, that's why. 

Every once in a while, we find something in nature that we would absolutely love to study and read more information about. Like, when we found out the truth about fossils in the Appalachian mountains, or when we discovered that sometimes octopus punch fish for no reason whatsoever. We love discovering things about the animal world - when they're big things like that or... when our dog suddenly turns green, and we reaaally wanna know what in the heck happened. 

Thank goodness, that didn't happen to us. But, it did happen to @ExoStephO. And as an early Earth geochemist, she really did her research into this weird phenomenon. Of course, there's also the option that this dog is simply turning into some kind of superhero and will end up saving the world. But, what do we know?:

Our world is truly an insane one - full of so many incredible things to know. We read and read, but no matter how many lists of awesome animal facts and stories we click on, there will forever be more to know. 

No matter how many articles about underappreciated and unknown animals we read, how many articles of exceptional and distinct animals we learn about, how much love we give to the coolest animals out there, there is just so, so much to learn. 

Today, you're going to learn just a little bit more, with this fresh WTF fun facts list from the amazing wtffunfacts account on Instagram. We love learning more things about animals, and because you guys love animals just as much as we do, we know that you feel the same way. So, please, learn and enjoy!

This is one of the strangest videos we've ever come across. Do you remember the Pixar film 'Ratatouille'? And how "anyone can cook"? Perhaps this is a true way of thinking. That anyone can do anything... even animals. When we think of cats on pianos, we think of them running across them during their regular psychic runs, and with each step on the piano keys, a loud and awful sound that would also terrify the cat running across it. 

Not this cat. This cat in the video below, is standing up on the piano seat and it presses individual piano keys and the result? Kind of amazing. A lot of Redditors were also impressed by this cat's clear skills and we're afraid to comment on their thoughts. 

It's been a hot minute since our minds were last blown by some thought-provoking, head-scratching shower thoughts! 

We decided to go see what was recently new in the popular subreddit, r/ShowerThoughts, and did not leave disappointed. Shower thoughts are essentially this generations' most insightful thoughts, all in one forum. There's a shower thought that blows our minds! 

Which thought below was really eye-opening for you? For us, the butterfly and moth one was truly eye-opening. 

Why, it's a horse, of course! Sometimes we just get the urge to horse around and ignore all our current responsibilities and that is essentially what this list is all about. Except, not only will we be horsin' around, but we'll be horsin' around with horse memes! Which is even better because it includes two of our favorite things, goofing off and animals. 

When it comes to animal memes, we've pretty much seen it all so it's refreshing to come across some memes we have yet to dip our toes into, and we gotta say... feels good. Strange, but good. We hope this list of horses helps you continue your horsin' around and leaves you with a smile and lack of accomplishment! 

Whoever said cats can't love has never seen a cat sit on a pizza box. It is so very clear that pizza is their ultimate love. it's warm, it smells delicious, and it's a box - it's the combination of all of our cats dreams. Suddenly, they'll be giving you puppy eyes, trying to convince you to give them a slice of the deliciousness, or they'll be trying to scratch your eyes out because of your futile attempts to get them off their delicious heater. 

I mean, we can't even question their love for it, considering how much we love pizza too, so... get off, you chaotic little hooligan, this pizza is mine. And thank you to r/CatsOnPizza for providing this delicious and mildly strange cat material. 

Okay, so be honest, if you suddenly couldn't see your dog anywhere, started looking for it all panicked, then looked up and suddenly found it on your roof, what would you do? Probably freak out. This dog owner definitely freaked out, and we both totally understand what he's going through, but we're also kinda laughing, not gonna lie. 

The internet couldn't stop laughing either, making this hilarious twitter thread go viral, and joining in on the laughs, just like the internet always does with weird animals. And you're about to join in on the laughing too - laughing fondly though, because doggos are wonderful no matter how weird they are.

It is a known fact that cats are lazy. No surprise to anyone there. But just how lazy are cats really? Well, tumblr decided to find out, and apparently, the answer is: you can stack approximately 20 power rangers onto a cat, and it will not even budge. 27 toddler socks also works as well as "many" oranges. 

Our theory is that cats think that if they simply don't react - not even a single flinch - then we suddenly won't see that they're there and leave them alone. But hey, as much as we love these little felines, cats are mildly annoying sometimes, so we get to mildly annoy them too occasionally. Don't worry though, a snack is in order after this weird experiment. 

Of all the things to come out of this Valentines day, we sure as heck did not expect a viral thread about a cow chasing someone down the street. Still, we will accept this unexpected animal viral thread with open arms and simply assume that... maybe the cow just wanted you to be their valentine. 

Honestly, getting chased by a cow sounds terrifying, and we totally understand the intense panic that can be felt through these unintentionally hilarious tweets. Hey, if a cow started chasing us, we would have lost it too. Cows are normally totally loving friendly cuties, we assure you of that, but apparently, some animals just have a hilarious dark side sometimes. 

When it comes to physics, cats seem to defy it all. No one is quite sure if they come in a solid or liquid state, at this point. They can climb a smooth paving wall and just... stay there. And what's even more confusing than the act itself is how comfortable they look doing it. It's as if their strange and abnormal position doesn't seem to affect them in the slightest. 

Cats are strange mysterious creatures that we may be able to understand and solve. And we've made peace with knowing that. However, even though we've made peace with it, doesn't mean we are stumped every now and then when coming across images such as these below. 

Have you taken a mind-blowing epiphany shower as of late? No worries if you haven't because we're bringing that shower to you! 

We were searching through this month's most recent and most insightful thoughts from the Reddit forum, r/ShowerThoughts, a place where this generation shares all its mind-blowing epiphanies in one place, which is quite frankly another thought that blows our minds. 

We love some mind-shattering animal thoughts! Which thought below was really eye-opening for you? 

We know that dogs are the best boys and girls. That's unquestionable. But sometimes, even the bestest of all best boys and girls have their bad boy moments. Whether it's bye bye to the couch or bye bye to your favorite toothbrush, you gotta watch out. That doesn't change how much we love your doggos, good or bad, they're all the best. 

This week's dog meme collection is one of the goodest boys and the baddest boys - because we have to love all facets of our doggos. Remember, even if your doggo has a bad boy moment today, still smooch them on their nose and tell them thank you for being the bestest bad boy (or girl).

There are many things that one can say about 2020, but one thing that we could probably all agree on is that we hope 2021 will be a more positive year overall for all of us. Then again, there are some things about 2020 that we can be happy about, and one of them is that with so much time spent at home, this year, dog twitter has been thriving. 

We got to spend so much more time with our puppers, and that's something to certainly be grateful for. And so, with 2020 ending, we figured it would only be right to say thanks to our lovely, lovely doggos for making this insane year a little more pawsitive by bringing together an enormous collection of 100 of the best dog tweets of the year.

And now, 2020 - the doggo version. Let's begin.
