A variety of blogs around the Internet are good not only for laughs but for learning valuable things about human nature and living in the online age. Just because a blog is amusing doesn’t mean it can’t teach you something. Even a seemingly inane gimmick can show you something and, hopefully, cause you to reflect on your own personal biases and shortcomings. You just need to be thinking about them.

Let’s take a look at four such blogs. I’ll tell you what lessons I think they hold, then let’s start a discussion. Tell me what you think the blogs mean, or recommend similar sites.

Literally Unbelievable

You think your beliefs are true. As such, you’re willing to believe outrageous things if they back up your viewpoint.

Case in point: “ class="vt-p" href="http://literallyunbelievable.org">Literally Unbelievable“. This is a blog that, using real Facebook reactions to class="vt-p" href="http://www.theonion.com/">Onion articles, points out just how insane we perceive those who think differently than us.

The Onion, in case you didn’t know, is a satirical newspaper; everything printed in it is a fabrication. The intention of many Onion articles is to point out that we all hold exaggerated versions of reality. Some people don’t get that part of the joke.

Hilarious. Of course Nascar doesn’t reward homophobic comments. Yet, in a way, it’s understandable that people think things like this are true if they have a low opinion of Nascar.

Check out Literally Unbelievable right now. You’ll laugh. If you like you can also read more about class="vt-p" href="http://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/06/10/the-backfire-effect/">the backfire effect over at the “You Are Not So Smart” blog. It explores Literally Unbelievable and other examples for The Backfire Effect.

Not Always Right

We’ve all done it – treated someone in the service industry like crap. Maybe we were having a bad day, or perhaps we just wanted to deal with our problems quickly. If you have done this before, you might unwittingly be featured on class="vt-p" href="http://notalwaysright.com">Not Always Right. This site is a collection of hilarious stories shared by people in the service industry.

I always find a laugh, and the posts are rarely mean spirited. The lesson here is that people in the service industry are human beings. They laugh, they cry, and they post stupid stuff you say on the Internet. Treat them as such!

The “Blog” Of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks

Punctuation is important, as placing them in the wrong place can change the meaning of what you’re writing. Putting words in quotation marks, for example, can make certain words sound sarcastic. Think air quotes.

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/quotationmarks.png?54167" alt="hilarious blogs funny" width="473" height="211" />

That doesn’t leave you with a lot of confidence in the beer, does it? Read class="vt-p" href="http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/">The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks and learn to keep your punctuation in order, lest you be misunderstood.

You Suck At Craigslist

When classified ads were expensive, people were careful to get their money’s worth. Craigslist is free, and some people are less than careful on it.

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/craigslist.png?54167" alt="hilarious blogs" width="580" height="147" />

The lesson here is obvious – think through what you put on Craigslist before you put it there. Just because those ads are free doesn’t mean you don’t have to think through your posts before you submit them.  Check out some of these posts over at  class="vt-p" href="http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com">You Suck At Craigslist.

During the initial phases when the concept of mp3 download came up, not many people were aware of it, but the advancements in the technology have made it a highly popular thing now. The popularity of these mp3 music downloads has increased so much that as soon as a new music track comes out the youngsters start finding it on the various download websites. There are many music bands that are also distributing their music on some acclaimed websites for promotional purposes. It can be clearly seen that this concept of music downloads has many genuine advantages to prove its worth.

Mp3 Download on a Playstation Portable

Now that there are many choices available in the market apart from the mp3 players, the music lovers are trying to have their favorite tracks on them also such as a PSP and Ipods. As these Playstation Portables are becoming a replacement of the mp3 players, the music lovers need to know the step by step method of downloading the music on them. One needs to know that as PSP supports only few music file extensions such as AAC, MP3 and WMA so they need to find the music tracks that are available in these.  The next important step is to ensure that the memory stick which one is using is properly and completely formatted.

After the stick has been formatted, a music folder has to appear there automatically. Once the folder has appeared, one needs to connect the Playstation Portable to the personal computer via a USB. Now the only step left for the mp3 download to complete is to drag and drop the music files into a folder.

Mp3 Download on Ipod

The process of downloading the music from one HD to Ipod is referred to as Itunes.  Although this program is present in every Ipod when purchased, one can still download it from the internet also. One needs to add all the songs manually as without it the songs will not be integrated into the Itunes library. After this one has to click on the music file, add that file to the library, locate the other files that one wants to add and finally press the enter button to complete the downloading process.

After this one just needs to click and drag the selected music files. Although it seems to be a very easy and handy process, one needs to check that all the songs have been stored at the same place.

As there are some specific restrictions to downloading the mp3 download files onto any particular music platform, one has to check all the requisites and downloading steps before starting downloading. Now coming to selecting a trustworthy source, a website that has malware and spyware protection has to be searched for ensuring that the download process ends up without any hassles. There is nothing wrong in putting in some efforts and giving mp3 download some time as with this one would be assured that ones personal computer, mp3 player, PSP and Ipod is safe.
