HEAVEN ON EARTH: CEREAL MARSHMALLOWS IN BULK

If someone in your household eats all the tasty marshmallow bits out of the Lucky Charms box, leaving you with the cardboard-like cereal, here’s how you get even. Amazon sells a 3 pound bag of dehydrated marshmallows for $30. Reviewers note they taste pretty much the same as the ones that come in the Lucky Charms box, and you can shovel these in by the fistful without the silly cereal taking up space. 

The last normal day...

April 18th, 1995 was the last normal day for many in Oklahoma City. The last normal day to wake up with your alarm. The last normal day to get your kids ready for school. And for many in Oklahoma City, the last normal day to feel safe and removed from homegrown terror. If you worked at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building downtown, it was likely your last day working there. At 9:02 a.m. April 19, 1995, a domestic terrorist drove a truck-bomb up to the front of the  building and detonated it killing at least 168 people, injuring more than 680 others, and destroying more than one-third of the building, the rest of which had to be demolished. The blast destroyed or damaged 324 other buildings within a 16-block radius, shattered glass in 258 nearby buildings, and destroyed 86 cars, causing an estimated $652 million worth of damage.

Taylor Swift's New Album Leak: Beyond Joe Alwyn to Matty Healy References Unveiled

It appears that Taylor Swift’s eagerly awaited new album has made its way onto the internet sooner than anticipated, sparking widespread speculation among her fan base. According to sources, the album, which was highly anticipated to delve into Taylor Swift’s relationship with Joe Alwyn, instead featured unexpected lyrical nods to Matty Healy. This twist has caught Swift’s followers off guard, as Matty Healy’s mention in her songs was not something they were betting on.

The leak supposedly happened through a Google Drive link that has been making rounds across various social platforms and fan forums. Given Taylor Swift’s tight grip on her unreleased works and her fans’ loyalty, the leak stands as a significant breach, throwing a curveball into the narrative everyone thought they had figured out. While the authenticity of the leaked album is still up for debate, it’s clear that if these Matty Healy references are legit, Swifties have a whole new layer of lyrics to dissect. As for the person who leaked the album? Well, they might want to prepare for an onslaught of Swiftian detective work — unless, of course, Taylor herself has orchestrated the most Swiftian plot twist of all.

Men with bards are dirty.

A study (a few years ago) found that men with beards carry more germs than dogs in their facial fuzz. Researchers discovered that nearly half of all sampled beards hosted bugs dangerous to human health. The study described dogs as ‘cleaner’ than bearded men.

Katy Perry's wardrobe oopsy on American Idol

In a live broadcast of ‘American Idol,’ Katy Perry faced an unexpected wardrobe malfunction when her metal top gave way, leaving the pop sensation in a bit of a bind. The incident quickly caught the attention of her fellow judges and the live audience, sparking a mix of concern and amusement on the set. Luke Bryan, co-judge and country music star, sprang into action in an attempt to alleviate the situation, showcasing quick thinking and teamwork on live television.

Lionel Richie, another co-judge on the panel, couldn’t help but add a touch of humor to the moment. He joked that this unexpected event would likely cause the show’s ratings to soar, lightening the mood amidst the unexpected wardrobe crisis. While live TV is no stranger to unforeseen incidents, the judges’ camaraderie and quick reactions made for a memorable ‘American Idol’ moment – one that, thanks to Lionel Richie’s witty prediction, might just end up boosting viewer numbers.

Slow internet?

Slow internet is frustrating, and the average user probably assumes it’s that way because of too many devices, or some interference, or because of your location in your home or at work. But some people think slow internet is caused by… traffic? In a survey of why people think their internet or WiFi is slow, most people blame the weather, thick walls, electric appliances, or the time of day (more people using it at the same time each day). But the survey also found that some believe their internet speed is affected by a “government slowdown,” the presence of humans in the space, or traffic… the kind on our city streets and interstates.

Taylor Swift Joins Billionaires Club: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Her Financial Triumph

In a remarkable financial milestone, Taylor Swift, at 34 years old, has officially joined the ranks of billionaires. Forbes, the authority on wealth and business success, made the announcement on April 2, underscoring the global pop sensation’s significant achievement. Swift’s inclusion in the billionaires’ club comes on the heels of her Eras Tour’s extraordinary success. This tour, spanning five continents, broke records by being the first to generate over $1 billion in revenue, setting a new precedent in the music industry.

This groundbreaking accomplishment has led Forbes to dub Taylor Swift “the most famous newcomer” to its list of billionaires. Such an accolade not only highlights Swift’s prowess and popularity as a music artist but also cements her status as a financial powerhouse. Her entry into the billionaire’s circle is a testament to her unmatched impact on the entertainment landscape. While Swifties worldwide might have once penned lyrics about daydreams and heartbreaks, they’re now just as likely to be scribbling down financial strategies, inspired by their idol’s latest achievement.
