This is Fendi. He is seen here demonstrating the internationally acknowledged sign language for politely requesting uppies. 13/10 would pick him up immediately (TT: isthat_jojo)

Mountain Dew Baja Blast Pie: 6/10 We may have Lived Too Más. The aftertaste stayed with me for so long. I love Taco Bell, I love Mountain Dew, and I appreciate their partnership and innovation. this one isn’t for the faint of heart.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

In today’s edition of New Yorkers are kind but not nice: a teenage boy helped me find a diamond that fell out of my wedding band when I dropped it on a *white and grey textured pebbled* sidewalk then waved me off while wearing headphones as I tried to thank him 100 times for doing the impossible

Never forget a few years ago when my then-92 year old grandmother sent me this picture that she'd taken on her ipad and then added text to, because she wanted me to know an animal had taken a bite out of this tomato the previous night. 🤣 Her meme game beats mine!

a picture of a yellow tomato perfectly centered on a green placement that is just spirals of tiny braiding going out in concentric circles. The tomato has a bite taken out of it, and my grandmother put white text over the bite that says "something came in the night"

I sold iPhones for 3 years and the greatest blessing I have as a non-tech person was how easy it was to explain setup and data transfer. I was one of the few in my store who loved working with older people, and I had a great record of getting them through the process!
