Fake Luxury Shoe Store Prank proves Luxury is just Perception - Payless - YouTube - "Payless, a low-cost shoe retailer, opened a fake luxury shoe store called "Palessi" and filled it with the brand's inexpensive footwear. Consumers paid up to $600 for shoes that retail for $20-$40. Does this experiment prove that designer brands are just perceived as being luxurious rather than actually being luxurious?"

Do monkeys use sex toys? Evidence of stone tool‐assisted masturbation in free‐ranging long‐tailed macaques - "Recent reports on tool use in nonforaging contexts have led researchers to reconsider the proximate drivers of instrumental object manipulation. In this study, we explore the physiological and behavioral correlates of two stone-directed and seemingly playful actions, the repetitive tapping and rubbing of stones onto the genital and inguinal area, respectively, that may have been co-opted into self-directed tool-assisted masturbation in long-tailed macaques (i.e., “Sex Toy” hypothesis). We predicted that genital and inguinal stone-tapping and rubbing would be more closely temporally associated with physiological responses (e.g., estrus in females, penile erection in males) and behavior patterns (e.g., sexual mounts and other mating interactions) that are sexually motivated than other stone-directed play. We also predicted that the stones selected to perform genital and inguinal stone-tapping and rubbing actions would be less variable in number, size, and texture than the stones typically used during other stone-directed playful actions. Overall, our data partly supported the “Sex Toy” hypothesis indicating that stone-directed tapping and rubbing onto the genital and inguinal area are sexually motivated behaviors. Our research suggests that instrumental behaviors of questionably adaptive value may be maintained over evolutionary time through pleasurable/self-rewarding mechanisms, such as those underlying playful and sexual activities."
These Bali monkeys have found a way to use stones as sex toys, scientists discover - "Even females were observed doing the same type of pebble-rubbing (although not as frequently as the males).  And despite the lack of visible arousal signs (aka erections), it was discerned that the motives were also sexual. Funnily enough, the female macaques were noted as preferring pebbles with rougher or sharper/more angular shapes, and we can only guess the reasons...   Different species of monkeys have, in the past, been sighted using things such as bottles and even fruits to satisfy themselves solo."

Love, Awkward and LGBTQIA+: I'm coming out, I want the world to know - FML - "Today, my boyfriend of almost a year told me he thinks he might be gay.

John Poulos' First Date Tweet Fact-Checked By the Internet - "Twitter users were stunned by a Community Note recently added to a seven-month-old tweet about a man’s first date.  The tweet in question was a response to someone asking, “What was your craziest first date?”  “Invited a Colombian woman on vacation without meeting her first – now we’re getting married,” the man replied in December.  Under the seemingly benign tweet, however, is a new footnote that left many Twitter users stunned.  “The user who posted this tweet is now charged with murdering the woman in question,” reads the note."
Of course, she adds in Andrew Tate character assasination

‘Invasion of privacy’: Women say they found a hidden camera in bathroom of B.C. Airbnb - "A group of women is warning others to check their rental homes after they said they found a hidden camera in the bathroom of their Airbnb.  Vancouver resident Jamie Gladman booked a place on the Sunshine Coast in March for her 30th birthday and she needed a place that could accommodate a large group... Kennedy Calwell, who made a TikTok video of the incident, said they discovered a hidden camera in the bathroom, facing the shower.  “One of our friends, Becca, she had just watched a video, I think, the day before, kind of talking about hidden cameras and how small they are and how they can be found anywhere, like in a showerhead, in an outlet,” Calwell said...       One of their friends took a shower in one of the bathrooms and when she got out, Gladman said she could see a racial slur in the condensation on the mirror... Gladman and Calwell also had some advice — trust your gut.  “We did get a weird vibe from the Airbnb,” Calwell said. “We did have a bad gut feeling about it. So I guess listen to your gut.”"
No hidden cameras found in B.C. Airbnb rental after viral TikTok, RCMP confirm - "Authorities have confirmed a series of "hidden cameras" guests thought they had discovered in an Airbnb rental on B.C.'s Sunshine Coast were actually just electrical outlets."

Meme - "CONFESSION TIME/ FETISH
So I've been going to the gym for around 8 years now and I have achieved a physique that tends to attract a lot of women. Thing is, I strictly date women who weighs more or less 250 pounds. Fatties in general. I try to make the relationship last around 2 months before she feels comfortable enough to start working out with me. Don't get me wrong, I genuinely spend time with them, buy them nice things, make them feel loved- but my sole intention is to get them to come to the gym with me. This could go on for months, up until the point where she actually loses weight and starts to attract other guys. I have helped some women lose so much weight that they ended up cheating on me, with their now boosted confidence. Which is really what I'm hoping would happen 100% of the time. My goal is for them to get attractive and leave me, so that I can move on to the next fattie and make her lose weight. Am I out here doing God's work or am I going to Hell? Genuinely curious."

'Only old people listen to Jay Chou': Gen Z comments on Mandopop star stirs discussion - ""Darn it… I was playing Jay Chou's songs in my shop. My coworker born in 2003 told me, 'Only old people listen to Jay.'  "So I asked her what kind of music she listens to, and she said she has been listening to NewJeans and BTS. Has Jay expired?" They ended the post with a crying emoji... One user said: "Is he as popular as Fong Fei-fei?"  "Thankfully I only listen to Teresa Teng," another commented. The late Teresa is dubbed the Eternal Queen of Asian Pop and was active from 1966 to 1995. The late Fei-fei, aka Queen of Hats, was active from 1971 to 2010."

Albert Who? Even Einstein had major critics - "Today, Albert Einstein‘s theories of general and special relativity constitute the bedrock of physics. The speed of light in a vacuum is constant, and gravity is the curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects. We accept these fundamental tenets because they have stood up to more than a century of experiment. But when Einstein proffered these notions in 1905 and 1915, the reception wasn’t nearly as warm as you might expect.  After all, Isaac Newton’s law of universal gravitation had stood firm for more than 200 years, and the upstart Einstein sought to supersede it! Moreover, many physicists and astronomers were still beholden to the idea of luminiferous aether, an invisible and infinite material that they thought allowed light to propagate through space. Dislodging these scientific mainstays would not be easy."

Veterinary Training Guide Hilariously Warns 'Don't Fight a Cat' - "Twitter users were highly amused by a viral post on Sunday with a snippet of veterinary tech advice when treating cats, which ultimately recommends "not fighting" the animal... "The cat is faster and has sharper teeth and nails than you do," the advice reads. "It has 'no code of ethics' or considerations for its own future."  Above all, it emphasized: "In a fair fight it will win."  In cases dealing with highly aggressive cats, the text encourages three things: "Don't fight a cat. Use your brain. Use drugs.""

Protesters hoped to 'overwhelm' RCMP wildfire blockade in B.C. Shuswap region: police - "Videos posted to social media show about 20 protesters at a blockade of police cars in an evacuation zone near the lakeside community of Sorrento.  The protesters tell officers they do not believe politicians have the right to prevent them from using the road, and that it is illegal for the RCMP to block it.  The group, which organized itself on Facebook, had hoped to rally enough support to push through the blockade to enter the evacuation zone, saying they planned to support those who have chosen to remain inside to protect their property."

Chou Samuel - "Reads headline "Person from ABC country moves to XYZ country for work, quality of life improves" Open article. Always the same. Top 1% or even 0.1% of salarymen.

Needless battle caused by uncommon language - "His men were outnumbered eight to one, stranded on every side by human waves of Chinese Communist infantry attackers at the height of the Korean war.  But when the British brigadier reported the position to his American superior in the United Nations joint command, he did so with classic and -as it turned out - lethal British understatement.  "Things are a bit sticky, sir," Brig Tom Brodie of the Gloucestershire Regiment told General Robert H Soule, intending to convey that they were in extreme difficulty.  But Gen Soule understood this to mean "We're having a bit of rough and tumble but we're holding the line". Oh good, the general decided, no need to reinforce or withdraw them, not yet anyway.  The upshot was one of the most famous, heroic and - according to a BBC2 documentary on April 20 - unnecessary last stands in military history: the ordeal of 600 men of the "Glorious Gloucesters" at the Imjin river almost exactly 50 years ago.  With no extra support promised, the colonel in charge of the Gloucesters fell back to a hill overlooking the river, where they made their stand. For four days, mostly without sleep, they held off 30,000 Chinese troops trying to surge across the river, killing 10,000 of them with Bren gun fire. When they tried to withdraw, they were too late. More than 500 of them were captured and spent years in Chinese camps. Fifty-nine were killed or missing. Only 39 escaped. Two soldiers were awarded Victoria crosses for bravery... a US officer - unlike Brig Brodie - would have known how to make Gen Soule understand, by using the phrase "Sir, there is all hell breaking loose here".  Sir Anthony said: "The two nations spoke military [language] in a slightly different way. It's certainly a good example of the old saying about Britain and the US as two nations divided by a common language.""

Man dies after having sex using epoxy adhesive instead of a condom - "Police say a man may have died after using a high-powered epoxy resin to seal his private parts during intercourse to ensure protection from pregnancy.  A local police investigator reportedly said that 25-year-old Salman Mirza decided to use the epoxy instead of a condom and it may have complicated his health condition."

What It Means When Couples Constantly Post About Each Other On Social Media - "Our online posting habits are directly tied to what social scientists call “relationship visibility” ― the extent to which we make our relationships part of our public personas. Having very high “relationship visibility” and over-posting about a partner may be a mask for relationship insecurity, according to a study recently published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin."

Changes in American Adults’ Sexual Behavior and Attitudes, 1972–2012 - "In the nationally representative General Social Survey, U.S. Adults (N = 33,380) in 2000–2012 (vs. the 1970s and 1980s) had more sexual partners, were more likely to have had sex with a casual date or pickup or an acquaintance, and were more accepting of most non-marital sex (premarital sex, teen sex, and same-sex sexual activity, but not extramarital sex). The percentage who believed premarital sex among adults was “not wrong at all” was 29 % in the early 1970s, 42 % in the 1980s and 1990s, 49 % in the 2000s, and 58 % between 2010 and 2012. Mixed effects (hierarchical linear modeling) analyses separating time period, generation/birth cohort, and age showed that the trend toward greater sexual permissiveness was primarily due to generation. Acceptance of non-marital sex rose steadily between the G.I. generation (born 1901–1924) and Boomers (born 1946–1964), dipped slightly among early Generation X’ers (born 1965–1981), and then rose so that Millennials (also known as Gen Y or Generation Me, born 1982–1999) were the most accepting of non-marital sex. Number of sexual partners increased steadily between the G.I.s and 1960s-born GenX’ers and then dipped among Millennials to return to Boomer levels. The largest changes appeared among White men, with few changes among Black Americans. The results were discussed in the context of growing cultural individualism and rejection of traditional social rules in the U.S."
