As any historian knows, our collective past is filled with countless atrocities. Genocides. Slavery. Colonization. But whether these gut-wrenching events happened 1,000 years ago or just a few decades ago, we can still learn from this heartbreaking history, reflecting on our past, mourning, and looking forward to our future.

From the Holocaust to the Nanjing Massacre, here are 20 of the worst atrocities in human history.

Saving lives and dignity at the same time. It’s a truism of water parks: stick around long enough, and you’ll see someone lose their swimsuit.

This usually results in a mad scramble to recover the suit, as well as the requisite embarrassment that comes with having to navigate how to put the thing back on without showing the world your dick/boobs/ass.

Not in this case. This lifeguard shows that all you need to help someone in this situation is a towel and a good sense of timing.

Read the sign, asshole! When you go to a gun range, there are some pretty clear rules that you must follow. First, always keep your barrel pointed down-range. Second, always keep your barrel pointed down-range. Third, hey, dick, I said keep your barrel pointed down-range!

This rule exists because it’s far and away the easiest method to prevent people from accidentally shooting each other in the face (ignoring the “not letting those people have a gun in the first place” option). That said, some people always think that they’re better than this rule, and so, they violate it — proving why we need to have the rule in the first place.

The club is a dark, mysterious place. It’s designed for some light fun and good times, but the mix of alcohol, drugs, insanely loud music, and a photographer is a dangerous one. We’ve all had times where we’ve gone out, had a good time, then woke up the next morning wondering what happened. These are the people who got photo evidence of what happened and that’s a really bad thing.

No one really knows how to handle hitting a deer in the road. Some say to speed up; others say to brake and try to avoid them. Understandably, neither of these options are particularly good for the deer.

50 years and two months ago, the “King of the Stuntmen” Evel Knievel tried to leap over Idaho’s Snake River Canyon in a steam powered rocket. While his attempt ultimately proved unsuccessful, it went on to be Knievel’s most famous endeavor.

The imagery of a man clad in red white and blue, strapping himself into a rocket and shooting himself over a canyon is about as American as you can get, and it's worth remembering. Here is the story of Evel Knievel’s Snake River Canyon jump, as told in 23 photos.

Here are some rare pics from the pre-Presidential Trump. Back when he was selling steaks, wearing silly outfits, going out to parties, and hanging out with wrestlers. 

Roasting people online is a beautiful thing. When you start tweeting, making videos, or posting pics, you’re opening yourself up to the hilarious comments of strangers. 

These old folks were having a celebration and wanted to have a golf cart parade. If nothing else they showed us one thing. Don’t drink and drive… even if only on a golf cart.

Though being a certified hottie is not a crime, a whole lot of other things are. Just ask these lovely ladies who learned the hard way that their good looks and charms couldn't get them out of charges like DUI, possession of marijuana, arrest evasion, and even criminal mischief. From arrestingly good profile shots to perfect perp smirks, here are the 22 most badass 'Mugshawtys' of the week.
