I'm Not Gonna Lie, These 20 Absolutely Mind-Blowing Pictures Just Completely And Totally Shattered My Dumb Little Brain
This is what the border between Mexico and the United States looks like at the ocean between Tijuana and San Diego: Here's another unique border. This is the border between Canada and France on Saint Pierre and Miquelon near Newfoundland: While campaigning for president in 1912, Theodore Roosevelt was shot in the chest but survived because the bullet was slowed by a steel glasses case and a folded speech in his jacket pocket. This is the shirt he was wearing that day: He famously went on to deliver the speech anyway, clocking in at over one hour. In Finland the largest size of mayonaise is called "AMERICAN SIZE:" No comment. This is one of only two remaining pirate Jolly Roger flags in existence: It was captured in 1790. According to the BBC, the flag's red color "signified the pirates intended to spare no life if a battle broke out during a ship's capture." Here's what some dinosaur footprints look like: Neat! Way, way back when it was originally created, Lysol advertised one of its uses as being for 'feminine hygiene:" Obviously, this is incredibly dangerous. This is Paul Karason, whose skin turned permanently blue after years of consuming colloidal silver: He claimed it cured many of his health problems, including arthritis and acid reflux. Here he is next to a non-blue person: According to astronomers, this is the average color of the universe: The color is called "cosmic latte." To figure this out, astronomers averaged the colors of over 200,000 galaxies together. Folks, would you drink the cosmic latte? Some old lawnmowers had built in cigarette lighters: We used to be a proper country. Yellow watermelons are a thing that exists: They apparently have more of a "honey" taste. I've seen them at Wegman's... but have not tried. Some menus include the estimated cooking time for each dish along with the price: This is a loaf of sourdough bread that was miraculously preserved after the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE: It was inside an oven at the time of the eruption. Folks, are you eating the volcano bread? Over time, gold crayons can turn green on the outside but still be gold on the inside: Sanddollars, my friend... sanddollars can be very tiny: This is what the start of a river looks like: Otherwise known as a spring. This is the start of the Metolius River in Oregon. Before treating cuts on eyeballs, a yellow dye is applied to better locate any tears: It does look pretty cool, though. This is the amount of contact a train wheel typically makes with the track: A bit scary. This is what a cross-section of a Boeing 747 looks like: Not much between you and the great wide-open sky. And, finally, some elevators in Japan have tiny little toilets in the corner: For... you know... emergencies.

21 VERY Dumb Things People's Exes Did That They Ignored
Recently, Reddit user CheeesyGiraffe asked, "What's the dumbest thing your ex did that you ignored at the time because you were ignorantly in love?" People had A LOT to say in the comments. Here are some of the best replies: "She told me she didn't believe in north. Like, as a direction. She said it was a government trick to sell compasses. I thought it was quirky." "Bro, I defended her in arguments! I said things like, 'Well, reality is subjective.' I was deep in the love fog."—abdalkadermj "I was complaining about the car in front of us driving half a mile an hour. She said, 'You can't go less than one mile per hour.' I asked for clarity, and she said, 'There's nothing less than one except for zero, so you can't go less than one mile per hour.'" "He said he didn't understand why I was mad when I found out he was still on Tinder because it 'was just like any other social media.'" —cdifff "He put all undesirable incoming paper mail into the oven to get it out of sight. Junk mail, bills, even voter registration. Then one day, while baking a cake, the first instruction was to preheat the oven. He nearly burned down the house." "During a conversation about self-improvement, she said 'I've pretty much peaked as a person.' I was like 'wow, you're so right.'" —Klecktacular "She tried to bail on her best friend's wedding at the last minute because she didn't want to fly to Texas. She was a bridesmaid. Her friend flipped out, and we wound up going. But that was the end of their friendship." "He wanted a new car but didn't need one, and I wasn't on board with him getting a new one. So he stopped checking or putting in any fluids in his car. The motor blew. I had to help him get a new car while he drove mine, and I worked two jobs while going to college to help him get a new car. I was so young and dumb." —somethingsnazzy01 "My ex would get upset if I didn't smile 'big enough.'" "Every time he didn't get his way or wanted money, he'd have a big sloppy crying tantrum and claim everything would be better if he just killed himself. He was about 20 when he started doing this." —MizWhatsit "She tried to jump her car battery without it being connected to another car. 🙄" "He did not know how to clean. He would spray the counters with Lysol, then immediately wipe it off with a soaking wet rag from the depths of his work bag. He worked at a tire factory." —kingbambi5000 "He didn't brush his teeth. Ever." "She was always happy around her friends and a total asshole around me. I told her that it bothered me. Her response? 'You're mad that I'm happy?!' No, it bothers me that you're only happy when you're with other people and not me!" —phathomthis "He watched porn while we were intimate. It was okay with me when we were both into it, but then he started watching it behind my back. Literally. 😂😭" "He pulled my hand off the steering wheel of a car when I was driving 50 miles per hour, and my other arm was resting on the windowsill of the car. He did it 'because I wanted to hold your hand.' Apparently, he also wanted both of us to die." —christine-bitg "She lied about having terminal cancer. When it was revealed to be a lie, I just accepted her reasoning for lying and we moved on. She cheated on me in the end." "He kept peeing in my bed. 😵💫" —Longjumping_Hand_205 "When referring to someone as a scapegoat, he thought the phrase was 'an escaped goat.' I explained that it's actually 'scapegoat,' and he disagreed." "He records hours and hours of close-up video footage of strangers' butts walking by in the mall." —CheeesyGiraffe "He would regularly gamble his paycheck away." And finally, "My ex asked if bats were real." —Lacaud H/T r/AskReddit Do you have a wild story about ignoring a blatant red flag from an ex? Let us know in the anonymous form below!

How Brands Can Build Lasting Relationships With Fickle Customers
Loyalty today means giving customers a reason to stick with a brand. First-party data is the loyalty engine, as is creating mutual value. Experiences, not discounts, seal the relationship. Consumers today have infinite ways to scroll past, swipe away, or price compare a brand out of their lives, and brands now have the daunting task of giving consumers a compelling reason to stay. During an ADWEEK House Cannes Group Chat co-hosted with Fetch, senior marketing leaders gathered to discuss and compare playbooks for turning fleeting attention into lasting loyalty. Loyalty used to be a punch card or points game. It's now a live scorecard that updates with every tap, scan, or scroll. Robin Wheeler, chief revenue officer at Fetch, opened the conversation by explaining how the rewards platform sees over 11 million receipts a day, and about 88% of consumers' monthly purchases. That breadth of data matters. "We know exactly what this person is doing in all aspects of their life," Wheeler said. Fetch can deliver targeting segments that nurture loyalty over time, vital when "consumers have more and more things to choose from." Citing fresh qualitative research run with Digitas, she reframed the stakes: "Loyalty is no longer about keeping the customer; it's about giving the customer a reason to keep you." Brands can't coast on yesterday's perks. "I think loyalty certainly has changed a lot, and I don't think it's necessarily about what you've done for that customer in the past," noted Jason Acker, VP of media, digital, and consumer data, Diageo North America. "It's what is the next thing you're going to provide for that consumer." For Coca-Cola, that "next thing" is built on credibility. "Simply put, it's a trusted relationship," shared Robin Triplett, VP of integrated marketing experiences at Coca-Cola North America. "Loyalty for me is pretty simple. It's mutual value," stated Melissa Berger, chief solutions officer at Digitas. When the exchange tilts, she warned, "Then it's just a discount. It's not loyalty. It's not driving a further relationship." That sentiment echoed across categories. Elaine Rodrigo, chief insights and analytics officer at Reckitt, stressed that enduring loyalty starts with shared values. "First and foremost, the product has to be superior and deliver on what it promises," she said, pointing to two of Reckitt's brands, Lysol and Dettol. "After that comes the relationship you build with people individually, so you have this shared value system." For Allegra Krishnan, chief loyalty and engagement officer at McDonald's, loyalty lives at the intersection of transactional and emotional rewards. "A program is our way of thanking customers for their loyalty to us in exchange for data," she explained. At Ulta Beauty, data is the brand's "secret sauce." With 45 million active loyalty members responsible for 95 cents of every sales dollar, the retailer sits on what CMO Kelly Mahoney called "a mountain of first-party data." That reservoir lets Ulta bring together each guest's beauty goals, suggest the perfect shade match, and nurture "lifelong loyalty and brand love." Andy Wells, head of growth marketing at DoorDash, shared the same principle in on-demand commerce. The brand uses data to understand "how the consumer has engaged with us, and then what's the next best thing to put in front of them, to teach them about a new use case or a new opportunity to leverage DoorDash." Digitas' Berger distilled the consumer side of the equation: ease is everything. Research that her agency just completed found that shoppers abandon programs that make them "do math." Her advice: bake rewards into the native experience, so the value shows up before customers even think to ask. "I think it's so important to follow the data, what drives the outcome, and be able to be nimble enough to quickly adopt and change," shared Carmen Gonzalez-Meister, general manager of food, beverage, and pet at Fetch. "So, if you're trying to get a brand buyer to shop your entire portfolio, how do you get them to actually make that change?" It's clear that younger generations are changing the loyalty game. "They want to be rewarded for everything they do, not just how they spend their money," explained Gonzalez-Meister. "Gen Zs, especially, want to be rewarded for how they spend their time." Experiences matter more to the younger generation than points, shared Ulta Beauty's Mahoney. However, they do "want to come to the stores" with their friends. And "we want the stores to become very much a destination." It's this insight that is driving Ulta's roadmap of in-store events, destination-style "eventing," and built-in gifting moments aimed at what Mahoney calls "the next generation of consumer."
