My 'Evil' Cat Went Viral on Black Cat Day

Posted a pic of my black cat Salem on National Black Cat Day as a joke—captioned it 'my little demon summoning treats.' Within hours, thousands of people were commenting about how adorable he looked. Turns out everyone's obsessed with black cats now? The same cat who hides under my bed during thunderstorms and chirps at birds through the window suddenly became the internet's gothic prince. My DMs are flooded with adoption stories, people sharing their own 'voids,' and someone even offered to commission a portrait. Salem, meanwhile, remains completely unimpressed by his newfound fame and spent the day doing what he does best: knocking things off my desk and demanding belly rubs. The irony? This 'spooky' Halloween cat is literally afraid of his own shadow but somehow convinced the internet he's mystical. Black cats really do have magical powers—the power to make everyone fall in love instantly. #Pets #Cats #NationalBlackCatDay

Cows Are Eating Plastic—And So Are We?

Here’s a wild one for your coffee break: vets in India are finding huge amounts of plastic inside cows—sometimes over 20 pounds per animal! Turns out, stray cattle munch on food scraps tossed in plastic bags, and it’s messing with their health and milk production. The kicker? All this plastic pollution isn’t just an animal problem—microplastics are turning up in humans, too. Want to help? Try skipping single-use plastics next time you grab takeout or shop for snacks. #Business #Industry #PlasticFree

Scientists Decode Your Cat's 276 Faces

That suspicious squint your cat gives you? Turns out it's one of 276 documented facial expressions scientists just catalogued. A new study filmed 53 cats at a café and discovered our feline overlords have basically developed an entire face-based language since domestication began. The kicker? Over half of these expressions (147 to be exact) are actually friendly signals. Those slow blinks, forward-facing whiskers, and relaxed ears? Your cat is literally trying to bond with you. Meanwhile, the flattened ears and narrow pupils mean 'back off, human.' Researchers think this happened because unlike wild cats who live solo, house cats are forced into constant social situations with other cats and humans. So they evolved complex facial communication to survive apartment life without murdering each other. Basically, your cat has been having detailed conversations with their face this whole time, and you've been missing 90% of it. #Pets #Cats #CatScience

Cats Are Just Us With Better PR

Honestly, cats have figured out what we're all trying to do: exist unapologetically. They wake up looking like they've been hit by a truck and somehow still judge YOU for your life choices. They refuse to get out of bed (mood), knock things off tables for no reason (also mood), and stare into the void like they're contemplating the meaning of existence (big mood). My cat Frank literally sits in boxes labeled 'FRAGILE' while maintaining direct eye contact. It's the kind of chaotic energy I aspire to have in meetings. Meanwhile, my other cat thinks paper towels are the peak of luxury and honestly? She's not wrong. They've mastered the art of making zero effort look effortless. Whether they're committing 404 errors in real life or claiming entire couches as their kingdom, cats are living proof that confidence beats competence every single time. We should all take notes. #Pets #Cats #CatsOfInternet

Shaq’s Wild Shoe Debut Plan for Angel Reese

Shaq wanted Angel Reese to drop her first Reebok signature kicks against Caitlin Clark for max drama, and he even promised to show up courtside! Instead, Reese is rocking her new shoes at the WNBA All-Star Game (and yes, Clark’s technically there, but sidelined). The behind-the-scenes convo from Shaq’s Netflix doc is all over social, and honestly, this kind of hype is what women’s basketball needs right now. Would you have loved to see that face-off? #Beauty #AngelReese #Shaq

Climbing Tip: Use Your Feet, Not Just Your Arms

Ever feel like your feet just slide right off when you’re on harder routes? Yeah, same. Most of the time it’s not your shoes — it’s how you’re stepping. A lot of folks focus only on their hands and forget about their feet. They stomp or slap their whole foot on the hold and hope for the best. That doesn’t work. You gotta use your toes, place them slow and quiet, and shift your weight down bit by bit. Try the “quiet feet” trick next time: step like you don’t wanna wake the neighbors. It forces you to actually pay attention to your footwork — and boom, you’re way more stable. Save your arms, trust your toes. #Sports #climbing #boulderinglife #quietfootwork #hardroutes

Hydrogen Gets Cheaper—Thanks to Less Platinum!

Here’s a cool science hack: Chinese researchers just found a way to make hydrogen fuel cheaper by using way less platinum in the process. Why does this matter? Platinum is like the truffle of metals—rare and pricey—so making hydrogen with less of it could mean cleaner energy that’s actually affordable. The new trick is mixing platinum with cobalt on a super-conductive material, making the whole process faster and more efficient. Cheaper, cleaner energy could be coming to a power plant near you! #Business #Industry #CleanEnergy

Dogs Sniff Out Parkinson’s Early!

Did you know dogs can actually smell Parkinson’s disease before symptoms even show up? In a new study, pups trained to sniff skin swabs could spot the disease with up to 98% accuracy—sometimes years before doctors can. No joke, their noses might be the future of early diagnosis! Imagine going to the doctor and getting checked by a dog. Science is wild (and adorable). #Health #BodyHealth #Parkinsons

Ice Cream Lovers, Check Your Freezer!

Turkeyfoot Creek Creamery just recalled a bunch of their ice cream pints (think Mocha, Cookie Dough, Cookies & Cream, and more) because they might have hidden soy or wheat. If you’ve got allergies, double-check your stash! No one’s gotten sick yet, but the FDA says it’s a Class II risk—so better safe than sorry. If you bought any, you can return them for a refund. Stay safe and spread the word! #Health #BodyHealth #IceCreamRecall
