GRAPHIC: ISIS execute young man with a bazooka

WARNING: ISIS execute young man with a bazooka rocket launcher. Video contains footage some viewers may find distressing.

ISIS terrorist group has posted a video showing the execution with a bazooka of a young member of the Sunni al-Sheitaat tribe in Syria's eastern Deir Ezzor (or Deir al-Zour) province. 

No longer content with executing their prisoners with knives and guns, Islamic State militants have ratcheted up their savagery by blasting a man to death with a bazooka.

Shocking video emerged today showing the captive exploding into a ball of flames after being shot with a rocket-propelled grenade that is designed to take out tanks and aircraft.

Amid sickening whoops of joy and shouts of ‘Allah is greatest’, the barbaric jihadis continue to fire their rifles at the dead man as they move in and surround his body.

They then subject him to more humiliation by taking it in turns to kick the corpse while dancing and cheering in celebration

These Itty-Bitty Dogs Think That They're Actually Big Tough Guys -- LOL 

  By Jessica Catcher

Big dogs can get a lot of guff over their overwhelming size, but the smaller breeds can more than make up for their tiny bodies with their big attitudes. Dog psychologists could write a long series of articles on this "Scooby Doo vs. Scrappy Doo" complex found between our four-legged friends.

And most of those chapters would be filled with how adorable it is when the little guy gets the best of his bigger buddy with all his itty-bitty intimidation tactics. This compilation of the hilarious conundrum will have you giggling for days.

The next time you feel overwhelmed by a big problem, just remember these little cuties and channel all that tenacity into tackling whatever life throws at you.

When This Cat Grooms His Brother, Things Take A Hilariously Tasty Turn

  By Jessica Catcher

Many siblings have a weird love-hate relationship. If you think that only applies to humans, you couldn't be more wrong.

Case in point: Exotic Shorthair Persian cat brothers Seamus and Angus are a double dose of adorable, orange fluff. Their cute bond is on full display as they enjoy a nice cuddle session, curled up as close as can be...that is, until things take a hilarious turn.

While giving his brother a bath, one seems to decide his bro would make a much better snack and starts vigorously nomming away on his face...

This was either a perfectly planned sneak attack or a hysterical case of spontaneity. I'm not sure if he just found a particularly tasty patch of fur or if there's actually a purpose to his toothy tendency.

This Puppy Won't Take No For An Answer When She Wants To Take Her Bro For A Walk

 By Jessica Catcher

Don't underestimate the power of a persistent puppy. When this little cutie decided she wanted her big brother to join her for a walk, she refused to take no for an answer.

Named Gypsy, the tyke tugs on her brother Jagger's leash with some seriously stubborn determination. Even when he tries to trick her into stopping, she snaps right back into action until the amused humans finally intervene on Jagger's behalf.

Just wait a few more months, Gypsy. I have no doubt you'll be able to show Jagger who's boss once you've gotten a bit bigger.

As Smart As Cats Think They Are, Their Logic Has A Lot Of (Hilarious) Flaws

 By Jessica Catcher

Cat owners love how smart, independent, and cuddly their little cuties can be, but sometimes their furry logic can seem just a bit...flawed.

Cole and Marmalade's owners caught their sweet critters showcasing the many offbeat ways cats tend to approach the world. Though their silly antics often end in frustration for us humans, their cute faces make it impossible to get mad. If you've ever owned a cat, or even just spent a little time with one, you'll instantly recognize the hilarious behavior.

To be fair, I'm sure a lot of our logic seems pretty strange to them, too. It's just a good thing they don't know how to work a camera.

This Adorable Baby Bunny Is Beyond Excited To Have His Afternoon Snack, D'awww 

By Jessica Catcher 

When your tummy grumbles, you know it's time for a snack. The joy of that mini-meal can be the perfect way to perk yourself up as the afternoon drags on. But you probably don't get anywhere near as happy as this precious little bunny.

He just can't contain his excitement while his caretaker doles out the yummy milk.

Look at those little legs go!

Not even the promise of chocolate cake could make me half as cute as this happy little guy. Can you imagine how much more adorable he is when he's playing or being cuddly? It might actually be too much to handle.

When You See What This Sneaky Baby Monkey Gets Away With, You'll Laugh Out Loud 

 By Grace Eire

Sibling rivalry starts at a very early age. Older brothers and sisters have been pushing little ones into puddles of mud since the dawn of time. So why wouldn't that same mentality translate to other species, too?

"Teehee..."

As long as everyone's safe and sound, I don't think there's anything wrong with a little bit of roughhousing. It builds character, right?

Watching This Adorable Chameleon's First Moments Of Life Is Truly Incredible

 By Grace Eire

The miracle of life is just that...a miracle. Very rarely does one get to experience the moment that a creature from the animal kingdom enters this world. Which is why watching this beautiful chameleon's first moments outside of his shell is truly incredible. Not only is it amazing that a whole new life is entering the world, but it's a teeny, adorable version of life!

"Hellooo world!"

I can't believe how little he is! His funny little feet waving around, grasping at the open air, push this over the top of the cuteness scale for me. Excuse me while I do some research on what it takes to raise a chameleon!

Bet You Didn't Know That You've Been Peeling These 11 Foods Wrong All Along

 By Emily Geraghty

Have you ever tried to peel a kiwi, a mango, or a pomegranate? Removing the skin from these foods is not as cut-and-dry as some other more common fruits. But you might also be wasting time peeling things like bananas, apples, and hard-boiled eggs without even knowing it. Check out the 11 peeling hacks below and discover the right way to get to your food faster.

1. Use a straw to push the leafy green top off of a strawberry. You won't lose any fruit.

YouTube

2. Put your apple on a power drill and use a vegetable peeler to skin your apple faster than ever before.

YouTube

3. Whack a pomegranate half with a wooden spoon to remove all of the seeds without losing any juice.

YouTube

4. Cut around the center of your potatoes. Boil them with the skin on and when they're done, rinse them in cold water and peel the skin off with your fingers.

YouTube

5. Use a spoon to peel an orange without getting your hands messy.

6. Peel a mango with a glass.

YouTube

7. You can cut a kiwi with a glass, too.

8. Another glass peeling hack -- get the most out of an avocado.

YouTube

9. Pinch the bottom of a banana and pull if you have trouble pulling off the stem.

YouTube

10. Put garlic in a bowl, cover it with a cutting board, and shake vigorously.

YouTube

11. Peel off a bit of the bottom and top of the shell of a hard-boiled egg and blow.

YouTube

I'm not sure I'll use a power drill to peel my apples from now on, but I'll definitely start using a straw to take the tops off my strawberries. Which one of these hacks will you use most often?

Take 24 Seconds Out Of Your Day To Appreciate This Hilarious Bird

We all know that birds can be pretty hilarious, but this bird might be one of the best. It saunters in and begins to cackle like a maniacal super villain...and it's priceless.

Watch this silly bird play a super villain and try not to smile.

Now, if they could teach it some kind of villainous catch-phrase, it would be a perfect performance.

This Puppy Was Rejected By His Mother, But See Who Stepped In To Save The Day

By Binny Gudjonsson

When this adorable little baby Shih Tzu puppy was abandoned by his mother, he found himself all alone in this big scary world of ours. Luckily, a cat who had just mothered a litter of kittens decided to adopt the little guy, treating the pup as if he was her own.

The little guy is now part of the cutest family you'll ever see. Just look at them together!

I love how the humans named him Hope. It's a truly fitting name for a puppy who came into the world with the odds stacked against him. I bet he has a wonderful life ahead of him with his new friends. Here's hoping!

Watching This Big Beast Baby A Stuffed Animal Will Warm Your Heart To The Max

By Grace Eire

 

Gorillas have been learning to communicate with humans for decades. By now, we know that they're compassionate, intelligent creatures that really aren't that different from you or me. So what happens when a gorilla who desperately wants a baby of her own is handed a stuffed animal?

First she loves it unconditionally...all of the snuggles.

That's right, folks. She's teaching the baby sign language, just like a person would teach their child how to speak. To me, it's heartbreaking that Koko doesn't have her own gorilla baby, because she'd really make a wonderful mother!

This May Look Like A Normal Horse, But The Truth Of What Happened Will Break You

By Jessica Catcher

When we think about animals in need of rescue, dogs, cats, and the various endangered creatures are usually the first to come to mind. But every breathing thing deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life. Sadly, that's something these horses, discovered in North Texas, were desperately lacking.

Over 40 horses were found abandoned, starving, and barely hanging on to life. There was also an overwhelming amount of evidence of those who had already passed. But thanks to the Humane Society of the United States, the ones that were left were given a second chance at life.

Warning: some of the footage is graphically heartbreaking.

It's staggering to imagine that many beautiful animals suffering so cruelly because of a careless human's actions. Thank goodness for the kind people who spend every day fighting for those who can't.

Every Animal Has A Heart, And This Sweet Little Hen Proves It

Bring your child to a farm and they'll likely start wandering around with hopes of meeting animals. While you'd normally be a tad worried about your kid meeting barnyard animals, it's not always a bad experience. Just watch what this hen did when it encountered a little boy. It'll change every bad thing you've ever heard about the often aggressive creatures.

Chickens truly have hearts bigger than I ever thought. And they're so cute, too!

A Little Girl Was Lost In The Wilderness, But Thanks To Her Dog, She Survived

 By Jessica Catcher

When three-year-old Victoria got lost in the wilderness of Arizona, it took all night for authorities to finally locate her.

The long, cold night could have taken a harsh toll on the scared toddler, but thanks to a dog named Blue, she was able to feel safe and warm while waiting for rescue. Cuddled up with him, he kept a careful watch over her until help finally arrived by helicopter.

It's too sad to think about what might have happened to Victoria if Blue hadn't been by her side. Thank goodness he was there to make sure we never have to.

Yellowstone Tourists Got A Little Too Personal With A Momma Bear And Her Cubs

Yellowstone National Park is known for its multitude of bears. Big bears, little bears, momma bears, and baby bears all live in the park's limits and usually mind their own business. It's not too often when a visitor runs into one. However, when they do, it's best to give them a wide berth.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what this group of tourists forgot to do, and they were met with some truly hilarious results.

I know what you're thinking: why aren't they running?!

"These tourists were absolutely in danger," said Bob Gibson, Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Communication and Education Program Manager. "Black bears are usually shy of people. But you put them with their cubs and they get really protective. You never want to be between a bear and its cub."

Luckily, these cubs were 16 months old, meaning the mother was less defensive with strangers. Still, the moral of the story? Stay far, far away from bears.

This Object Has Been Orbiting The Earth For 50 Years, But No One Knows What It Is

By Mike Cahill

Since man first gazed up at the stars, people have wondered if humans are really alone in this universe. Thousands of years later, despite all of our advanced technology, we're still not any closer to answering that question. We generally believe that if there are other civilizations out there, they're probably far away in some distant galaxy.

But what if aliens have been hovering close to the Earth this whole time?

In the 1950s, as the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union was starting, the U.S. made a strange discovery...

Disinfo

A large unknown satellite (pictured above) was detected in a polar orbit around Earth, apparently broadcasting something. The obvious explanation was that it was a Russian satellite. However, neither nation had the technology to launch and maintain an object in polar orbit at the time.

Needless to say, this discovery ignited a media frenzy. This marked the beginning of the American fascination with UFOs.

Disinfo

Despite widespread public speculation, the government released a statement stating that the mystery satellite was just a piece of space debris.

However, that did not stop people from speculating that the mystery satellite, at this point known as "The Black Knight," was more than it appeared to be.

Disinfo

The object that people believe to be the Black Knight has been photographed several times by NASA. Above is a zoomed-in photo of the object. According to astronomers, it weighs at least 10 tons. Technology in the 1950s was nowhere near capable of launching something of that weight into space.

While the Black Knight has mostly appeared to ignore humanity, it made an exception in 1963...

Disinfo

During a space flight that year, astronaut Gordon Cooper reported seeing some sort of glowing green object orbiting Earth. Cooper reported the object to NASA and said that it appeared to be moving toward his capsule. The object was confirmed by NASA, but reporters were barred from asking Cooper about it when he returned to Earth. The official explanation for what Cooper saw was "high levels of carbon dioxide, which caused hallucinations."

(via: Disinfo)

While it's very possible that the so-called Black Knight is just a piece of space garbage, it is interesting to indulge in a little bit of alien speculation. If it is indeed an alien probe or satellite, it clearly wasn't sent here to destroy Earth. Maybe they're just fascinated by those television things we Earthlings are always watching.

This Medical Dummy Simulates A Dying Patient And It Will Haunt Your Dreams

 By Mike Cahill

When it comes to training new doctors, the more practice they get, the better. However, new doctors are sometimes hampered by a lack of patients to practice on. It's generally frowned upon to start cutting healthy people open to try a new surgical technique. This dilemma has given rise to synthetic cadavers. These cadavers are essentially complicated, anatomically correct dummies made to help medical students practice their technique.

Earlier generations of artificial cadavers looked pretty scary, but they're even more sophisticated these days. Thanks to new technology, the latest generation of synthetic patients can be programmed to suffer from certain diseases or injuries and then act accordingly. They're more than a little disturbing. The synthetic cadaver in the video below is programmed to simulate a fatal injury.

I know I'm going to have nightmares about this later. Just imagine being alone in a hospital late at night practicing on one of these things. I'd be afraid to even blink. What if it decided to come to life and strangle me?

When Asked To Use His Inside Voice, This Smart Dog Knows JUST What To Do

  By Jessica Catcher

 

Most dogs have at least a few tricks up their sleeve (for when treats are around). Sit, stay, and speak are all pretty standard for a pup to pick up on, maybe even some nice roll-over action, too.

But this cutie took his speaking lesson up a notch by learning how to use his "inside bark" on command. Now if only a few humans could learn this trick...

Wow, he has incredible manners. I'm sure you could even bring him to a movie with tons of squirrels, mailmen, and tennis balls in it -- those triggers wouldn't get Brody riled up at all!

What 17 Photographers Caught On Film Is Seriously Freaky - Pure Nightmares

 By Mike Cahill

Most humans have a natural aversion to all things creepy, and with good reason. Creepy stuff makes people feel uncomfortable and gives nightmares all the fuel they need. But maybe limited exposure to creepy things could benefit your worldview.

Speaking from personal experience, dealing with creepy stuff all day somehow makes everything else in life seem sweeter. With that being said, think of these 17 nightmare-inducing photos as a point of reference for how much scarier your life could really be.
