1. There’s an amazing Chinese takeaway place a minutes walk (if that) from my house and I often pay for deliveries. I can’t look the delivery dude in the eye.
5. If I have to put something fragile on the floor, like my phone, instead of bending to put it down gently, I drop it on my foot to ‘soften’ the impact, and then let it roll off the slope off the foot.
7. My light is the opposite end of the room. I sometimes call my brother in, ask a random question, and say “oh can you turn my light on?” as if it’s an after thought.
9. The other day, i was laying in bed, and my Roku remote was on my desk, literally 5 feet away. Rather than stand up to get it, I grabbed my phone, downloaded the Roku app, and used my phone to stop the movie. 5 feet.
10. The day I moved into my apartment I was exhausted. So I just put my box springs and mattress on the floor and leaned my bed frame in the corner to assemble the next day. It’s two years later and my bed frame is still leaning in the corner.
12. I once skipped an entire day of classes because there wasn’t enough milk to fill the cereal bowl in the morning. Lost all my motivation and just went straight back to bed.
15. Once, in college, I was too lazy to get groceries, so I ate an onion with some ranch for dinner.

16. I stuck an empty poster tube to the wall diagonally next to my bed so I could put trash in it and it would roll down into the bin which was about a metre and half away. I thought it was kind of smart but so lazy.
18. When my wife is out of town, I only eat canned food, directly out of the can, over the kitchen sink. No cooking, no dishes. It’s absolutely disgusting, but I’m just too lazy to make a meal for just me.
19. I am too lazy to scratch my own back. So I put my toddlers toy on my head and she will then climb all over my back to try and reach it. Back scratched, toy awarded.
21. I was wearing a mid length dress and knee high boots so I measured the exact area that would be exposed and just shave that 5 inches right smack dab in the middle of my legs…. Then I contemplated what I’m doing with my life if I can’t shave my entire legs.
22. I signed up for a free trial of Amazon Prime so I could get free 2-day shipping on an order of new underwear, all because I didn’t want to leave the house or do laundry that week.
23. I was watching Breaking Bad on my computer but I wanted a glass of juice. So I opened my router settings on my laptop to disable my mom’s laptop’s MAC address on the network so the Internet wouldn’t work for her, so she would come to my room to ask what the fuck, and I’d ask her to get me a glass of juice and that it’s already fixed.
26. When I get home from work, I have a tendency to take my socks off while I’m sitting on the couch or at the dining room table. To pick them up off the floor, I don’t bend over. I use my toes like fingers to grip the socks and then kick upward and catch the socks so I don’t have to bend over.
27. I’m slouched in the most impossibly uncomfortable position in my office chair, head cocked severely to the right, because the sun is hitting me full-on in the eyes and I can’t be arsed to stand up and lean forward to close the blinds.
My desk is flush to the wall with the window right in front of me. I can almost reach the string sitting down. But I can’t. So fuck it.
Adolf Hitler is one of the worst people to ever live. No question. He led the Nazi party to kill off millions upon millions of Jews in the name of racial cleansing. On top of that millions of civilians and soldiers died at the hand of the Germans, and overall in the worst death tolls ever in the history of warfare during the Second World War.
Please don't get it twisted, this isn't a celebration of this dude by any stretch. But, for better or worse he is one of the most polarizing men in history and there is still a curiosity about his life and origins. Below are the top ten least known facts about him.
NOBEL PEACE PRIZE NOMINEE
As a joke, Brandt who was an anti-fascist and member of the Swedish Parliament nominated Hitler for the 1939 award
INVENTED SEX DOLL
To prevent the spread of syphilis that German troops were contracting from French prostitutes, he invented the inflatable sex doll for the lonely nights in the trenches.
HITLER'S FIRST LOVE WAS A JEW
At 16 years old he was so ashamed that he never spoke to the girl and contemplated suicide.
HITLER WAS ANTI-SMOKING
He was the first to launch an ant-smoking campaign -- Hitler made it illegal to smoke in public transportation and raised the tobacco tax.
HITLER WAS A VEGETARIAN
He banned hunting and set stringent regulations on animal testing. Unfortunately, the Jews in concentration camps took their place for testing
HE WAS RESCUED FROM DROWNING AT 4
A boy around Hitler's same age rescued him after he fell through the ice at 4 years old. The boy that saved him later became a priest and regretted his heroism.
SPARED IN WWI
A British soldier had Hitler pinned down and had a clean shot at point blank range and decided to spare the German soldier.
HITLER WAS PLANNING A MUSEUM
To honor the "extinct" Jewish people Hitler collect some 200,000 artifacts and planned to build a museum after the war as a trophy case . . . THANK GOD they didn't win!
HE NEVER SET FOOT ON A CONCENTRATION CAMP
He stayed far away from the concentration camps and never spoke of the deaths, only giving orders to specific SS.
HITLER WAS HALF A MAN AFTER WWI
He only had one testicle after suffering an injury to his groin area in WWI
Your local grocery store is a psychological minefield, where even the bananas are ripe with mystery.
1. SOUTHPAWS HAVE AN INVISIBLE ADVANTAGE
You’ve probably seen that stores keep go-to items—produce, meats, dairy—on the perimeter. But did you notice that most of them are set up to make your lap run counterclockwise? “Ninety percent of us are right-handed, so we buy more when it’s counterclockwise. It puts us closer to the shelf,” says Martin Lindstrom, author of Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds and Persuade Us to Buy. Places that do this see sales climb 7 percent. You’ll also often find the dairy section in the back left corner: Because dairy is likely on your list, stores make sure you take the longest route to get there. In fairness, it’s also a more convenient place to put a fridge.
2. EVERYTHING IN ITS PLACE
Psychologists weigh in on some store layouts. “They study buyers’ behavior and they come and reset the store based on perceived habits,” says Jake Sitler of Barry’s Country Food Market in Craley, Pennsylvania. It’s safe to say that nothing you see on a shelf is there by chance. The cookies on sale at the end of an aisle may look like a coincidental great deal, but they’re likely the result of product placement—a company paid for that real estate. It’s a smart spot: Besides the checkout counter, most impulse buys occur at the endcaps. More expensive items are usually placed at an adult’s eye level, while colorful cereals and treats are positioned lower—to catch the gaze of children.
3. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
When an employee says they’ll “check in the back” for an item, they’re just being polite. Most stores order goods to go directly from the truck to the shelf, skipping the back room entirely. “There’s an assumption we have so much stuff in our back room, and it is absolutely false,” says Dara Gocheski, a former Trader Joe’s employee.
4. THE EXPIRATION DATE ON THAT MEAT MAY BE MEANINGLESS
Matt Adams, who spent 28 years as a supermarket meat cutter, says his employer frequently used nail polish remover to wipe the sell-by date off outdated items. “You guys can’t do this,” he said. “What if some little old lady buys this?” It turns out you can. If meat was packaged under the watch of federal inspectors, supermarkets can’t change the date. But if the retailers butchered and packaged the meat themselves, they can change the label on a whim. In fact, 30 states don’t regulate the expiration dates for most items.
5. TIME GOES BY SO SLOWLY
Supermarkets rarely have windows or clocks. With no reference to the outside world, customers can easily lose track of how long they’ve been there. Grocery store overlords may use another trick to manipulate your sense of time: small floor tiles. The incessant click-clack of a shopping cart’s wheels can make customers think they’re racing around and encourages them to take a relaxed pace. And stores know that at a relaxed pace, customers buy more.
6. BANANAS ARE AN ART FORM
Bananas are so important to a supermarket’s bottom line that grocers know exactly what shade of banana you’re most likely to buy: Pantone color 12-0752, also known as “Buttercup.” To ensure the bananas on display are the closest to this shade, stores use a ripeness scale that ranges from one (all green) to seven (yellow with brown flecks). Some stores even use special lighting to make bananas look more appealing. “They’ll filter an ambient light in front of the box used to highlight the bananas so they become more yellow,” Lindstrom says. As for the water sprayed on the other produce? It makes veggies look fresh, but keeping them wet actually makes them rot faster. It also makes produce heavier—and therefore pricier.
Unless you live under a rock somewhere without any access to cable, internet, or friends who would bring up culture in conversation, you’re probably familiar with that infamous Fast & Furious franchise. The new movie absolutely slayed in its opening weekend, and that just goes to show you that if you put fast cars, explosions, and well-known Hollywood faces into a project, it will go over well with the public. As carefully produced as the film is, though, a few Polish guys decided to step it up and make a trailer that rivals the original!
The whole thing is pretty on point. From these amateur actors delivering lip-synced lines with confidence and professional precision to how coordinated the sound effects are with the action in the shots, this parody trailer is too good to knock. Who knows how long it took these guys to put this together, but all of the attention it has been getting lately is probably well worth the trouble. The outfits they’re wearing aren’t even close to what we would consider appropriate for a modern movie, and their vehicles look like old banged-up hoopties that have no place in a fast-paced current racing movie.
Whether you’re a fan of the franchise or you’ve never heard of it, you can’t help but appreciate the mastery of this video. Everything is lined up to mirror the actual movie trailer, but the footage is pretty DIY and totally Polish. Plus, did you see that EXPLOSION? That was the icing on the cake. And if there was ever a good time to come out with a parody using this series as a focal point, it’s now – the Fast & Furious franchise is bigger now than it’s ever been. There’s a bunch of hype surrounding this video, and it’s no secret why people are hooked: It’s topical, and extremely well done.
These guys will be in the running for the Oscars, no doubt! Don’t forget to SHARE this video with your friends on Facebook!
