The diabolical ironclad beetle (yes, that's its real name) was discovered in October 2020 and it possibly the most indestructible creature on Earth. It is an inch long and will easily survive being run over by a car. Now that's tough.
We live in a world of unconventional hazards. It might seem cartoonish to think that you might get hit by a propeller, get bit by a plague-carrying rodent or fall down a hidden mineshaft. If those weren't things that could happen, we wouldn't need ominous signs that mean serious business. While sometimes horribly weird and unsettling, these creepy and ominous signs are doing their job.
If you spend any time on YouTube or Instagram, you'll know that the platforms are very popular with people who like to share "life hacks." Many of these are unnecessary projects that weirdly feature soda bottles or appear to be designed to smuggle contraband to people who are in jail. These life hacks, however, are different. They fully embrace the fact that they're actually useless in favor of spicing up our lives with a little humor. And that's all we can ask for these days.
Try and cast your mind back to that day when you were forced to sit on a stool and smile in front of an awkward backdrop for your yearbook photo. Yeah, mine's not a great memory either. But as bad as yours or my yearbook photos looked, I can almost guarantee it wasn't as bad as any of these people's. Scroll through this collection of possibly the worst yearbook photos ever to have been captured, and be thankful you won't have to deal with this level of embarrassment for the rest of your lives!
Elon Musk's Starships have come a long way in the past few years. And the latest trick these rockets can do is pretty darn cool. When the Starships eventually start reaching other planets like Mars or our Moon, there isn't a nice flat landing strip to land on. The solution is that the Starships are now able to do a "controlled aerodynamic descent and landing flip maneuver" - or a fun flippy flip as we like to call it. We're all for spaceships doing flips.

Is there anything that makes you happier than when your pet shows you love, trust and affection? Personally, it's one of the things that makes me the happiest in the world. One of the best ways to see that love and affection, of course, is when your kitty comes to sleep in your bed at night. It's a show of trust not just from the cat but from you too, closing your eyes next to each other like that, and that only brings the two of you closer.
Having your cat curl up next to you is one of the purest, most wholesome things in the world, but seeing your baby curled up with your cat might be even more cuter. Prepare yourself, the cat tweets you're about to see are so cute and heartwarming you might just get an inexplicable urge to immediately go hug your cat.
Nothing quite like a good old neighbor quarrel over a parking spot. In this case, the invasive neighbor at hand refused to be reasonable and park where they should've in the first place. So, naturally, the person being blocked in had them towed away. Honestly, it seems like that was the only move available at their disposal after trying to reason with them. The moral judges of Reddit's AITA community seem to be in agreement as well that the towing was completely appropriate.
Nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes. Some worse than others. But if you post your "Ls" on Twitter, it's pretty much a given that you're gonna get roasted to a crisp if you have more than a handful of followers. Twitter's latest victim is Jonathan Kay, a writer for Quillette - an Australian publication that weirdly attracts both racists and liberals. But today we're here to talk about what Jonathan Kay did wrong, physically instead of morally.
Kay took to Twitter yesterday to innocently reveal that he had been using an Arm & Hammer dog shampoo for the past few months. At first, we were like "okay, maybe it looked like a human shampoo." But then we saw a photo of the pet grooming product and it has a very visible, very adorable dog on the packaging. And while Kay claims that "for pets" was in 4 point type. It's...definitely not. Needless to say, Twitter users were very, very quick to rail on the dude with roasts and amusing parodies. While it's true that his journalistic reputation didn't do him any favors, it's nice to see people roasting other people for doing something that is inane and fluffy. We just want to see a picture of how his hair looks now. Maybe using dog shampoo is the beauty hack we've been missing this whole time.
Makeup is an art, especially when it's done well. I guess that's why they call them makeup artists. But sometimes, it's a failed art form, and the amateurs give the professionals an awful rep. These women whose makeup totally backfired on their faces, whether it was their wrongdoing or a makeup artist's failed attempt, we can only scroll through and feel sorry for these poor ladies. Better luck next time, eh?
Everyone's so into this whole self care thing now, it makes you think that maybe they're onto something. Maybe it is time to spend some money on underwear that has functioning elastic. Maybe it's okay to buy a nice office chair that doesn't make your back look like a candy cane. Judging by how it went for these people, it's not. On the other side of it, here are some very reckless uses of money people don't regret at all.
If a bird and bowling pin became one and wore bright blue-sky shoes, then it would be the blue-footed booby. What are these strange looking birds? The blue-footed booby is native to subtropical and tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean. They can easily be recognized due to their comically bright-blue feet. However, the blue feet are actually a sexually selected trait, the male boobies will display their feet in an elaborate and quite interesting mating ritual. He will lift them up and down before strutting towards the female.
There's no doubt about it, the blue-footed booby is as strange as it is beautiful and we can't help but love how awkward these fellas look in each image.
Maybe we need to modernize our list of idioms, because a lot of them seem to be wishful thinking. Between the many contradictory sayings, the ones that can't stand to scrutiny, and the ones that are flat-out wrong, it seems like we're ready for an update. Some popular sayings are just kind of BS. And for others, the full versions of those classic sayings totally change their meaning.
