For some, cooking breakfast is an enjoyable, calming part of the morning routine. But for those of us who struggle to multitask multiple pans, appliances, and cooking times, making breakfast can be a stress inducing nightmare.

Since multi-compartments pans haven’t saved those of us who are incapable of cooking yet, you’re sure to have these thoughts next time you attempt to make a ‘real’ breakfast.
15. Is 10 minutes enough to make and eat my breakfast? It’s going to have to be.
14. Eggs and toast is a nutritious breakfast right?
13. I wonder how people made toast before the toaster was invented? I bet it took forever.
12. I’ll just go over and check on the eggs for two seconds.
11. What’s that smell? Is something burning?
10. Ugh, I burnt the toast! How could that have happened?! I stepped away for, what, a minute?
9. This is what I get for trying to be fancy and eat something that doesn’t look like dog food.
8. Why can’t they make one pan with separate compartments so I can cook everything at once. I’d never burn anything ever again.
7. I need a personal chef. Then, I’d never have to deal with this mess again.
6. F*ck I broke the yoke.
5. My breakfast is ruined.
4. How do those people on Instagram manage to make such pretty breakfasts?
3. They must have personal chefs.
2. Actually, this isn’t half bad. It may not look good, but it still tastes good!
1. That took 30 minutes?!? Looks like I won’t be making it to work on time…

A new pop-up bar in London has found a way to get people drunk without actually drinking.
Alcoholic Architecture, open for the next six months, is a bar that enables guests to consume alcohol directly through their eyeballs and lungs, bypassing the liver, allowing them to get drunk faster, and consume 40% fewer calories.

There, guests are asked to wear special protective gear that looks like a poncho so that they don’t reek of booze upon leaving.

And they are only allowed to stay in the boozy cloud for just under one hour-> 40 minutes in the cloud absorbs the equivalent of having one large drink.
Image Credit: laughingsquid.com
The cloud is infused with various spirits and mixed drinks at a 1:3 ratio.
Image Credit: streeteatslondon.com.jpg
And powerful humidifiers keep the humidity at 140% ensuring that the cloud saturates the air, and the alcohol will then enter the bloodstream through the body’s mucous membranes- the lungs and the eyeballs.
Image Credit: theverge.com
Bompas & Parr (shown above), are the eccentric design firm that created the installation, and describes it as “the world’s first alcoholic weather system for your tongue”- a place where “mixology meets meteorology.”
Being in the cloud also means that guests can’t see anything beyond three feet of them.
Image Credit: slate.com
Sam Bompas, co-director of the company behind the bar, describes it as “a sci-fi fantasy where meteorology and mixology collide” and “Disney meets De Sade in Barbarella’s castle by way of Medieval Times with flagons of ale!”
Sipping on a cocktail is available if you would like..

But who needs real alcohol when you can get drunk off the air..
Remember the Dad bod craze (still not sure was up with that one). It proved that being a Dad is cool (err, kinda). But the only thing cooler than being a Dad, is being a good Dad. Naturally, the internet found us a video for that.
“Greatest Dad Wins Ever” is a compilation currently circulating the net. It was posted by Exotic and is bizarrely satisfying to watch.
The whole video is excerpts of Dad saving the day.
There’s the classic one where Dad saves a baby from falling off a chair. Then we see Dad pulling his kid out of the way of a runaway car (a toy one). And of course we can’t forget the timeless one where Dad opens a jar of pickles while the clock is running on a cooking show competition.
These four bears were neglected, and left in physical and mental distress for years at a closed down roadside zoo. In July, 2015, Peta rescued the bears, and filmed the amazing animals take their first steps to freedom.
While the bears were first hesitant of their new surroundings, they become visibly calmer and happier as they experience life outside filthy, barren cages.
Bruno, Fifi, Marica, and Pocahontas were kept locked in these cages and hadn’t set foot out of them in at least 20 years.

The four bears were kept in rusted cages as part of roadside zoo in Pennsylvania with no shade, water for swimming, and no way to hibernate.

Before the Big Bear Farm Zoo closed, they had been forced to perform tricks like riding bicycles. The horrible treatment, left the bears in physical and mental distress.

Peta rescued the animals and brought them to the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado.

After the cross-country journey, these bears took their first steps out of their cages, and into a new life.

Airport security has been found to be a greater source of peer pressure than a frat bro during welcome week.
At least, that’s what one Chinese woman might tell you (providing she knows a detailed account of the prevalent drinking culture on college campuses in the United States). The woman, who is said to be about 40, tried to take a bottle of Remy Martin XO Excellence on board an internal flight from Beijing to Wenzhou.
As you have probably learned from flying however, no matter how badly you need the alcohol to get through the flight, you can’t take it with you if it’s over 100ml. The 700ml bottle of cognac was well over the limit.
The alternative: knock it back
In case you aren’t aware (and you should be, because you read the headline), a bottle of Remy Martin XO Excellence is a pricey bottle of booze. This woman was not about to let it go to waste. Yes, she could have stowed it away by checking the fancy bottle in her luggage, but instead she nursed that thing like she was newborn baby.

Sources say she then rolled around on the floor, too drunk to walk or even stand. So, not only did she give up her fancy bottle of cognac, she also missed her flight due to intoxication, and was carried away by airport security. Worst of all, she forfeited the enjoyment of a classy bottle of alcohol.
Surely, she couldn’t have enjoyed it while chugging in line at an airport security checkpoint.
Daytona Beach, Florida, the self-proclaimed “world’s most famous beach,” is making headlines this week for an unusual business plan.
In Daytona Beach, sunbathers can spend an afternoon watching high-speed racing at the Daytona International Speedway and then drive their car right onto the beach a few miles away. Now, they will be able to add another item on the list of activities: knocking off a few rounds at a gun range and then knocking one back.
Entrepreneur Ron Perkinson owns Volusia Top Gun, a gun range located in Volusia County, Florida. He was recently granted permission to turn a vacant building on his land into a restaurant, and yes, it will be serving alcohol, according to Vice.
Perkinson insists that the new attached restaurant will need to serve alcohol in order to turn a profit. The idea is to bring in as much business as possible. Patrons who want to fire a gun will be given the option of finishing the day with a juicy hamburger and a drink. The owner told CBS News that the alcohol is to keep patrons in the store after they’ve finished shooting. It is not a bar and range, according to Perkinson, it’s a restaurant and range that happens to serve alcohol. It’s also like an all-inclusive parade of testosterone, triggers, and tequila. What could go wrong?
Perkinson insists safety is his main priority.
To be fair, Perkinson has thought through the safety issues with having a gun range that doubles as a restaurant. First of all, the restaurant is separate from the gun range. Perkinson said, it’s the same as going to an Applebee’s after leaving a shooting range, except he decided to bring the Applebee’s to the gun-toting patrons.
In order to keep everybody safe, patrons will return the gun before they leave the range. Those who choose to bring their own gun from home are required to check it in a locker before they can enter the restaurant (it is worth noting however, that Perkinson doesn’t plan on having a metal detector in the restaurant entrance).
Additionally, anybody who purchases a drink must scan their ID and once that driver’s licence has been scanned, they will not be allowed back in the gun range for 24-hours, according to CNN. Additionally, Perkinson said he plans to “keep a watch list of customers who may cause trouble and will call police when necessary,” according to Vice.
Again, it’s worth noting that Perkinson doesn’t plan on hiring police to do this monitoring. However, he did say, “[workers] will be trained to visually look at the person, look at their eyes [and] look at their pupils, just like an officer would.”

This business permit isn’t very surprising since it’s being opened in the same state that has some pretty lenient gun regulations, like allowing citizens to legally carry concealed weapons. Theoretically, a patron of the gun range who also has a concealed weapons permit could fire off some rounds in the shooting range and then knock a few back in the bar, all with a weapon legally hidden under his or her jacket. What could go wrong?
The time leading up to traveling is a pretty exciting time.
You can’t wait to get on that plane and travel to your faraway destination. You spend weeks packing and planning and anticipating…
And then that day has finally come, and you are boarding the plane and taking your seat.
Maybe you’ll fall asleep, maybe you’ll read, catch up on work, or even watch a movie. What’s the worst that will happen? Usually you’ll just hit a little turbulence, or your flight will be delayed, but that’s not the worst part.
The worst part is the people around you. The snorers, the stinky feet, the farting, just the grossness of being so close to other people for such a long period of time.

If you’ve ever taken a yoga class, you know that some poses have you wobbling and falling to the ground like Bambi’s first steps. Now, imagine you attempted one of those moves just inches away from a massive cliff face.
Well in this incredible video, this gravity-defying duo do just that (minus the wobbles).
Acroyoga combines the physical practice of yoga and acrobatics.

More than two-thirds of American adults are considered over-weight or obese, and many people who have tried to lose weight know that changing the statistic will take time, as obesity doesn’t happen overnight.
Rather, obesity happens through a lifetime of unhealthy choices, bad habits, and learned behavior. This video follows one man’s journey from overweight child to obese adult, which ultimately lands him in the hospital leaving the doctor to ask “How the hell does that happen?”
The video focuses on Jim, an obese 35-year-old having a heart-attack. His diet and inactive lifestyle has lead to his health issues. But he didn’t get like this overnight…

The video shows how Jim learned to be unhealthy.

And learned that food was a reward for good behavior and celebrations.

Remember the good ol’ days of playing Mario Kart in the basement while eating potato chips by the truckload?
Nintendo 64 knows how to bring back childhood nostalgia. Our childhood was filled with too many hours of that gaming console. Nothing says childhood quite like than being chased around the house by your 8-year-old brother screaming at you for beating him at a game of Mario Kart. Ah, those were the days. I fondly remember the time I rage quit so hard I broke the controller.
Seriously, Nintendo 64 was a staple of my childhood as well as my college experience. Mario Kart is just as prevalent in today’s dorm rooms as it was in basements of the 90s. It’s one of the best video games ever invented.
Well, somebody found a way to bring back those memories in the coolest way possible.
Youtube channel Corridor Digital got a dude, a longboard, and some sick graphics and made the most epic real-life recreation of Mario Kart the internet has ever seen. Sam Gorski, Niko Pueringer and Jake Watson are the YouTubers and graphics pros behind the creation. They specialize in visual and physical effects and deserve some serious props for this video because it is the coolest thing since sliced bread.
Watch your childhood come to life with this video:
And in case you’re wondering, this is how they made it:
A film crew asked young women to receive a make-over from younger women before a first date…and ask them for advice.
This video, which came from Cosmopolitan.com, shows not only the innocence and naivety of little girls, but also their childish wisdom.
Oddly enough, the little girls gave a unique perspective on dating that only a 5-year-old can give. They said things like, “I think you should not wear something itchy,” or, “I think you should get steak and mashed potatoes.” Turns out children have pretty solid dating advice. These girls were telling their older companions to be comfortable and order whatever the “eff” they want.
The video also gives an interesting perspective about what goes on in the mind of a 5-year-old and what their little minds decipher about love. “I think you should say I love you,” one of the children says about the end of the date. Another says, “well, I think if he’s really nice to you, I think you should marry him,” as she smudges makeup all over the other one’s face. Their makeup skills weren’t on point, but their advice was.
The only things cuter than their honest advice, are their terrible makeup skills:
Every morning Dale and his wife Rochelle would watch their son Rain get on the school bus in the morning and wave goodbye, but as Rain became a teenager that was no longer cool.
So Dale Price, a stay-at-home father of three from American Fork, Utah did what any dad would do…
Rain, now 16, remembers the first day his dad did this:

“When he did it the first day I was in shock. It’s my first day of sophomore year. You don’t want to see your dad dressing up in a wedding dress, waving at you on the bus.”
But his mortified son took some time to get the joke. And he had plenty of time- 170 days to be exact.
And because Dale’s costumes were such a hit, Dale continued dressing up for two more years for Rain’s junior and senior year of high school!
Life is full of disappointments, failures, and challenges. Our days rarely go as we plan, but it’s no reason to make yourself miserable.
Some of us are able to take these set-backs in stride and remember everything to be thankful for, however, most of us get hung up on the negative, and forget to recognize the things worth being thankful for. The good news is that you don’t have to stay that way. Gratitude can be learned and practiced, and the affects will transform your life.
Take a look at the top 5 reasons why you should be expressing gratitude every single day.
Photo by www.virtuesforlife.com
5. Gratitude strengthens your relationships.
Multiple studies have proven that people who are more thankful are more agreeable, open, and sociable. People are more drawn to happier, more optimistic people, and those qualities also make you more likely to offer others help with their issues.
4. Gratitude improves your wellbeing.
Practicing gratitude is linked to being more positive, which is linked to improved immune systems, and can increase your happiness levels by around 25 percent. Over time, expressing gratitude leads to lower levels of depression, anxiety, and back bounce quicker after a traumatic life experience.
3. Gratitude helps you sleep better.
Gratitude doesn’t just help you when you’re awake, it has also proven to help people fall asleep faster, and get better quality sleep. Researchers found that people who spent about 15 minutes before bed writing down what they’re grateful for were able to fall asleep faster than those who did not, and stayed asleep longer.
2. Gratitude helps you achieve more.
Practicing gratitude can lead to increased determination, energy levels, and enthusiasm over time. These qualities are key to achieving more in the workplace, and can even help you exercise more.
1. Gratitude increases self-esteem.
Expressing gratitude regularly will help you realize just how much you have going for you in life. It’s so easy to get locked into negative thought patterns, but being grateful can help free yourself from focusing on your faults, failures, and disappointments. Focusing on the positive things in your life will help you feel more accomplished and confident in yourself and your abilities.

We all have some skeletons hidden in the closet of our search history.
Maybe you googled chlamydia because that pimple down there looks a little too funky to be an ingrown hair. Perhaps you looked up the lyrics to “Mambo No. 5,” on the Google machine, or maybe you posed the question, “will the South rise again?”
It’s okay, we all have a shameful section of our search history, but nobody sees that info, right? Well, actually, that data is being mined whether you know it or not. Grant it, your boss doesn’t know that you’re into furries (look that one up in incognito mode), but Google does.
So what did the internet do with all this info?
The real estate website Estately compiled a (highly subjective) list of embarrassing things people search for and found the number one shameful search in each state. They don’t know the exact name and face associated with each search, but they know the regional patterns.
The geographical trends give us an interesting insight into the minds of people around the country. What social and health issues are we coping with and how do our entertainment preferences differ from coast to coast. The data gives us a unique perspective into the inner psyche of our neighbors.
For example, men in the South are insecure about their manhood:

And the Midwest has awful taste in movies:

Have you personally contributed to your states shameful search history ?
When it comes to checking the balance in your bank account the struggle is hashtag real.
Image Credit: Giphy
Okay, my young millennial, it’s that time of the week again. It’s been a busy few days and you haven’t checked your bank account in a while. Instead, you’ve cloaked yourself with the cover of denial and peer pressured yourself into doing anything that doesn’t involve checking your online account.
But, it’s been too long. Life could easily be spiraling out of control. You can’t remember how much you spent at brunch on Sunday, you had to buy textbooks yesterday, and rent will be due soon. You might have even blown $20 on drunk food last night (you really can’t remember). It’s time to strap on those big-boy pants, rummage through your courage hidden in the closet, and check your bank account balance.
1. Denial
“What’s the worst that could happen?” you say to yourself as you open a new tab on your computer. You’re sure there’s plenty of money in there. You haven’t been impulsively buying things you don’t need (much). That exfoliating Savannah loofah you bought from the luxury spa probably wasn’t that expensive.
You build up the courage to take the plunge into your bank account. You hold your breath while you step from the blissful embrace of warm ignorance onto the chilly precipice of knowledge.
2. Anger
It turns out the embrace of ignorance was a lot more comfortable than awareness. How dare your favorite brunch place charge you THAT much for endless mimosas. Don’t they know brunching is a significant part of your social life? Without it, your life would be reduced to nothing but conference calls and loud bars in which real conversation couldn’t take place.
And the textbooks?! When did textbooks get so expensive? The classes themselves cost less than the actual books. You’re furious with how this turned out. You thought it might be bad, but you were not prepared for this kind of careless draining of your bank account. Who could have possibly let this happen?
Image Credit: Giphy
3. Bargaining
Okay, you’re starting to realize this might be your fault. You didn’t need to buy the expensive exfoliating Savannah loofah and if you return it you’ll get some of that money back (except you can’t return it. You already used it).
Maybe, if you ask for extra hours at work you’ll make enough to cover the rent. You’re going to have to give up fancy Sunday brunch, but you can still go out to dive bars on Saturday nights cause those are cheap enough.
4. Depression
The more you ponder the significance of your careless actions, the more you realize you have goofed hard. You not only have to give up brunch and loofahs, you also have to give up the dive bar, Netflix, and eating (okay let’s not get too extreme here. You don’t have to give up Netflix. That’s too extreme–but eating has to go).
Not only will your social life whither away and slowly collapse in the dirt, your actual body will too. This is the worst thing that’s happened to you since Zayn Malik left One Direction. You crawl up on the cold couch (because you can’t afford blankets), while you cry tears of sorrow without any tissues (because you can’t afford those either), and hold your breath (because you can’t even afford oxygen).
5. Acceptance
Maybe this isn’t the worst thing to happen since sliced bread. Maybe, you’ll just have to learn to cope and pinch your pennies a little bit better next time. You’ll pick yourself up by your bootstraps and carry on. Instead of ordering late night munchies, you’re going to learn to cook. Instead of spending money on expensive nights at the bars, you’re going to socialize by grabbing coffee with a friend. And for goodness sake, no more brunch!
*BONUS: Careless Hedonism (This is next month’s problem)
Actually, screw that! Tonight is ladies night at McHebe’s. I can just charge it all to my emergency credit card and take care of it next month. That won’t cause me any problems, right?
What are the chances that a young couple who’s just about to get married gets to see one another age by 70 years?
It may sound like something out of a movie, but this newly engaged couple got a chance to see what each other would potentially look like in their 50s, 70s, and 90s.
With the help of makeup, prosthetics, and a team of amazing artists, soon-to-be married Kristie and Travis got a sneak peak of their lives together for the next 70 years.
Image Credit: imgur.com
The video, produced by Field Day captured the couple’s amazing reactions to seeing one another completely transformed in their old age.
Travis says:
“To see her look like this makes me just think of where we have gone to be next to each other looking like this. What would have happened in between.”
Kristie says:
“What an incredible thing to see,” Kristie says between sobs, looking into a hand mirror and pressing her fingers against her face.
Image Credit: screenshot Youtube- Field Day
And when asked what their last words to each other would be (which they later laughed they should write down because it would help them with their vows), Kristie says:
“I would always just want to make sure he knew how much I loved him, and how important he’s been to me. There’s some strange comforting feeling seeing him this way, especially being about to get married and embarking on all that. I couldn’t be more sure that this is what I want.”
and Travis responds:
“There’s so many things that I couldn’t be without you and will never be without you.”
Both are in tears, and it was truly beautiful to watch. Take a look at the full video:

Dear Internet, we know you love cats and babies, so we found this two-for-one combo for you.
The Merkley Family posted this video to Youtube and it is probably the most precious video online at the moment. The 3 million views it has already racked up are proof of that fact. This baby is the most excited baby in the history of excited babies to ever meet a cat. The cat, however, is slightly less enthusiastic.

Watch this baby squeal with excitement when she meets her new cat-friend:
Also, a side-note from the mother:
“Ps. That’s a sleep sack she’s in. Not a starfish outfit. Although I wish I were cool enough to dress my daughter in a starfish outfit.”
