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.
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?
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.

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.
When convincing my friends to take a leap of faith and pursue things with someone they think they might like, I try to push them by saying, "What's the worst that can happen? Either you break up or you get married. Those are the two options." But really, after further analysis, I can see now that there are really many MANY more directions a relationship can go in. I can think of 15 now, but until these apps manage to completely distort our dating experiences, and entirely hinder our ability to meet people ~organically~, well this is what I got for ya.
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.
Did you know that purring not only helps you to relax but also has healing properties for the cat itself? That's right! Purrs are heckin' powerful and should be respected as such. We humans can benefit from that therapeutic vibration as it is linked to lowering stress, lessens the chances of having a heart attack, and more.
Cats can actually add years to your life! If you needed convincing to get a (or another) cat, there you go!
Cats may have therapeutic healing purrs, but they can be quite the tricky machine to figure out. Once you've nailed that mechanism, those healing properties are all yours! Oh, and we're sure the cat will be pleased as well.
In collaboration with Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, a cute comic about the inner workings of what it takes to make a cat purr.

Just in case you haven't seen the iconic, cinematic masterpiece that is "Ratatouille", it's a lovely animated film that follows the adventures of a struggling 20-something named Linguini. The dude falls on hard times after his mother passes away, and then proceeds to be thrown headlong into the challenging pits of a competitive Parisian restaurant. To make matters even more wild for the poor kid, he ends up befriending a rat who knows how to cook like nobody's ever seen. It's really a miracle Linguini didn't have a full on mental collapse with all that going on. This Tumblr thread honors his struggles that were kind of skimmed over in the film.

If you're one of those people who compulsively scrolls down to the comments section of a YouTube video hoping to find some insult gold, you've come to the right place because we've put together a bunch of fiery roasts served up by the jibe experts of the internet. We certainly don't condone unwarranted bullying of innocent internet-goers, but some people are straight up asking for it when they post something absolutely roast-worthy. Thanks to subs like r/rareinsults, we can appreciate the most well-deserved and well-delivered roasts.
