A player once had an empire that was really into terraforming planets. But they accidentally terraformed a planet into a giant disco ball. The planet was covered in shiny reflective surfaces and pulsating lights. When other empires visited, they were completely bewildered. It was just a random glitch in the terraforming process that ended up being super funny.
One of the funniest stories was an empire that tried to create a utopia. They went overboard with the happiness policies and ended up with a population that was so happy they started doing really strange things. For example, they would hold mass dance parties on the streets of their planets all day long. Other empires couldn't understand how an empire could function like that, but it was a really humorous sight.
One funny story in Stellaris is when a player named their empire 'The Galactic Pranksters'. They sent out false distress signals to other empires. When the empires arrived to 'help', they were greeted with a barrage of harmless but annoying prank devices like glitter bombs in space. It left the other empires confused and a bit frustrated.
In 2020, my local community organized a drive - by birthday parade for a 90 - year - old neighbor. The cars were all decorated with balloons and signs. But one car's balloons got loose and started flying all over the place. It was chaos but also really funny. It made the old man laugh a great deal.
One memorable one is about a man who left his beloved old hat to his parrot in his will. The parrot would then perch on the hat and cackle as if it knew it was now the owner of this special hat.
Well, there's a story where a person called 911 because their ice cream cone melted too fast. They were so distraught over losing their treat that they thought it was a major crisis. Another is when someone called because their cat was stuck on the roof, but the cat came down right as the firefighters arrived. It was hilarious.
Well, I heard about a girl who went to a concert. She was dancing so vigorously that her bra strap snapped. She had to hold it up the rest of the night in a really awkward way. It was quite a funny sight for those who noticed.
There was a case where an elderly man called 911 because his TV remote stopped working. He thought it was some kind of emergency. The dispatcher spent a few minutes explaining that it wasn't an emergency but then also helped him troubleshoot the remote over the phone. It was both funny and heartwarming how the dispatcher handled it. They actually managed to get the remote working again. The man was so happy and thanked the dispatcher profusely.
A neighbor of mine was attempting to bake a loaf of bread. He forgot to put yeast in it. So, instead of rising, the bread just stayed flat as a pancake. He was so confused at first but then found it really funny. He now tells the story every time we talk about baking.
In a particular Starbucks, there was a group of kids having a small party. They were all very excited and one of them accidentally knocked over a stack of cups. Instead of getting mad, the barista joined in their laughter and helped them clean up. Then she made them all special drinks with extra whipped cream as a treat. It was a really fun and warm - hearted moment that everyone remembered.
A priest once accidentally tripped over the altar cloth while walking towards the pulpit. He managed to catch himself but not before making a very comical face. The whole church burst into laughter.
One memorable story is when LeBron James lost his headband during a game. He was still able to play at a high level without it, but the sight of him without his signature headband was quite funny. It was like he had transformed into a different kind of player for a moment.
