There’s A New Danger At The Beaches This Year. It Looks Stunning But It Could Kill You!

What a cool looking creature! Turns out, the man o’ war is not a jellyfish, but actually a colony of little sneaksters that are attached and integrated so thoroughly that they can not live by themselves. At the surface of the ocean, the man o’ war floats through life, moving only by the force of currents and tides.
Strong winds may push them into bays and beaches, where they should be only looked upon and with caution. Where there is one man o’ war, there is many, but often an entire beach will be closed after the sighting of just one. Recently there has been a massive increase in numbers of Portuguese Man O’ War from Delaware to New York. Watch the video below to learn more about the risks and what to do if you come into contact with one.
When I was in sixth grade I spent a week in West Palm Beach, Florida with my friend and her dad. We stayed in a hotel on the beach where we spent everyday from sunrise to sunset in the outdoor pool. Entering the sunshine state mid Northeast Winter, we grew layers of blistering sun burns in the first part of the week.
We were so heat exhausted that my friend was vomiting up her daily grilled cheeses in the groomed poolside plants, and her father’s concern was that we were spending too much time in the pool, so he sent us to the beach. My friend and I reluctantly approached the beautiful ocean water and were delighted when we learned it was many degrees more comfortable than the Atlantic we were familiar with.
Promptly, I was thrashed with a wave across the face, which knocked my child body to the ground to be pummeled by undertow and exasperation. Then I felt it! An electric shock like whip along the side of my arm. I struggled to catch my breath through the inhaled salt water and looked down to see my forearm and hand red and inflamed.
My friend and I made our way back to the hotel pool where the lifeguard confirmed I had been stung by a man o’ war. The hero then sprayed my arm with cologne to soothe the welts and told us to go swim in pool.
Enjoy the beach this summer, but always stay aware of your surroundings. Keep your eye out for these beautiful but dangerous and potentially deadly creatures.

These Japanese Bathrooms Are Extremely Different From Ours But Their Design Is Actually Brilliant
Japanese culture is known for having some of the most innovative and high tech product designs and ideas. They are always coming up with new cutting edge technologies and have been world leaders when it comes to producing highly efficient and quality made gadgets, cars, furniture, appliances, and even robots.
One surprising area that proves the scope of their unique innovation skills happens to be in the humble old bathroom! Japanese bathrooms exist on a wholly different level than their western counterparts. They have many unique and advanced features that are simple and yet they make a lot more sense to have on hand.
In this video an adorable little Japanese girl named Aiko gives a tour of her bathroom and shows off all the upgraded perks it has to offer. The video is called “12 reasons why Japanese bathrooms are the best!” and you’ll realize that is an appropriate title once you watch it.
In the comments under the video the girl’s father further explains the video and bathroom, and responds to inquiries made about it. He says it is pretty much what a standard Japanese bathroom looks like, and it’s even a little old perhaps. He also mentions what it takes, and how long it takes, to clean the space because apparently people were very interested in that aspect.
There is a lot more information in the video and this is something you truly have to see for yourself in order to get an idea of how awesome the Japanese bathrooms are. Check it out and compare your own bathroom to the one shown; which one would you rather have?

They Start Blowing Bubbles At This Chameleon. His Reaction is an Unexpected Surprise!

If you have had a rough day up to this point, have no fear, for Laura the chameleon is here! She has come to pop the bubble of your sadness. By popping bubbles! I can honestly say that I have never seen a chameleon popping bubbles. It is not something I would have ever expected to see, or thought about the possibility of seeing, but it has now been seen.
No one can take that away from me, I will always be able to know that I lived a good life, for I have seen a chameleon pop bubbles. This may come as a shock to you. A lizard popping bubbles is quite disquieting, kind of like pigs flying. The phrase could just as soon gone “when chameleons pop bubbles”.
Well guess what, pigs are transported via aircraft every day and we are sitting here watching a video of a lizard popping bubbles. What an incredible feat. Those lizard feet are not designed to pop anything, they are solely for hanging on to trees and climbing branches.
Anything outside of the realm of locomotion shows incredible advancement in the lizards primary forebrain. It is impossible to say for certain, but it is safe to say that Laura may be the most intelligent lizard on the planet, maybe even of all time.
It will take some more tests, likely involving larger bubbles coming at more divergent angles simultaneously, but we will find out the truth. If Laura is as intelligent as she claims to be, we may have an entirely new species of lizard, the likes of which have never been seen on planet Earth.
Let us know what you think!

They Called Her Fat and Laughed At Her In The Gym. Her Response Is Just Epic!
The majority of women, especially in the United States, have some kind of issue with their body. We look at ourselves in the mirror and dissect our imperfections, wishing we looked different. Women think their bellies are flabby, arms are too thick, legs are pushed together, ass is too flat, too wide, their breasts are too small, too saggy. The list goes on and on.
We base our criticisms on what we have been shown by the media to be beautiful. Tiny, anorexic, airbrushed models, waxed with precision, with symmetrical features and a face full of make up. So what happens when we realize that the perfect we’ve been taught isn’t perfect after all? We begin to love ourselves for what we are.
That is exactly what Loey Lane has done in her plus-size swimwear fashion show. She filmed two minutes and seven outfits narrated by her words of love for herself. She confesses that she struggled with her weight and eating disorders, but has now overcome by choosing to be proud of who she is.
She focuses on her positive attributes and not what other people think she should be. Loey knows her body is strong and healthy and she sees the beauty in that. Her message is inspiring for all. But why not take it even further? Women should challenge themselves daily to push the limits of what has been deemed socially acceptable regarding our bodies.
Why are we pulling all of our hair out or shaving it off? Men aren’t required to do that. Why are we covering our faces with chemicals and colors to disguise our features and skin? Why do we strap a tight band around our rib cage and straps over our shoulders in attempt to conquer what is inevitable?
Why have we not questioned the confinement we’ve been trapped in? This video is a step in that direction, a breath of fresh air. As long as we support and encourage all the Loey Lane’s out there, women will be dancing in elegant freedom before we know it.

He Bust THIS Guilty Dog and Threatens To Tell Her Daddy. The Dog’s Reaction Is PRICELESS!
If ever there was a picture of regret, this is it. This dog got caught red handed, and he knew it. When the video began, I thought it was just another dog shaming video, but what the dog did next had me laughing hysterically.
After going through the normal guilt and shame sequences, the apologetic pup began to use more advanced techniques. He slithered over to his human friend who was communicating with him about what might happen when the dog’s dad gets home.
After he failed to win his forgiveness with some gentle nuzzles, he pulls out the big guns. Flipping over and exposing his tender underbelly, he goes for the classic upside down and backwards lick of the lower face. Even this doesn’t work, but he does not give up. Repeating the motions, he tries and tries again to bribe him into giving forgiveness, but to no avail. At the end, all he can do is sadly wait until his dad gets home.
It is amazing how well these two beings are able to communicate in just this short span of time. The dog is able to understand every word and inflection of his voice, reacting in time with the subtle nuances of the human language and voice. Each day we interact and communicate with our wonderful pets, and they give us unconditional love whenever we are around them, and they certainly think of us when we are gone.

Nobody Believed Him When Described His Dog’s Morning Ritual So He Got A Camera and Caught THIS
image via – youtube.com
Mornings can be just as hard on dogs as they are on some humans. No sane person or animal wants to willingly throw back the covers and get up out of a warm, cozy, perfectly slept in bed. This is especially true when you don’t really have to get up for awhile and want to stay comfy and keep on snoozing.
Unfortunately, sometimes our fellow sleeping partners make it impossible to get back into that zen state in which you were just basking, and that makes some of us really grumpy.
That’s exactly the case in this adorable yet strange video from Rumble Viral. It stars Buddha the Bulldog, a big white and wrinkly ball of joy, who does not want to roll out of bed. Much to his dislike, his parental units try to wake him from his deep slumber. He whines and groans in protest and sounds nothing like a dog at all.
The weird noises emanating from his mouth and chest are more alien than canine, but a cute, sweet alien and not some nasty, mean one. Buddha’s lazy grumbling makes his human friends smile and laugh as they record him, but that just pisses him off even more. It’s bad enough that they have already rudely awoken him, but laughing is going to far.
As Buddha gets up he lashes out a paw and slaps his male human in the face, serving him up some dog-style justice. That will teach him to never mess with a sleeping dog, especially this one. No…but seriously, this dog is too cute and his unique noises are almost too much. Buddha definitely wins the top spot for being the sweetest grump.
Check him and his odd noises out if you want to smile! 🙂
