Known to some, but definitely not known to enough, Arnold Shwarzenegger was featured in quite a few ads in Japan in the late 80s and early 90s. There are way more than this one. It's not uncommon for American celebrities to shill themselves in other countries where they won't cheapen themselves in the eyes of their domestic audience. But that doesn't make it any less funny to see Snoop Dogg bust out of a refrigerator to sell German cell phone services. Honestly, money aside it would be very hard to turn this type of offer down. It has a very "do it just to say you did" quality to it.

For over a decade, Sakae Kato has stayed behind in Fukushima, rescuing cats abandoned by neighbors who fled the radiation clouds emanating from the nearby Fukushima nuclear plant. He refuses to leave.
His story is one of heartbreak and selflessness, and we are thankful for all the work that he's done.
"I want to make sure I am here to take care of the last one," Kato said from his home in the contaminated quarantine zone. "After that I want to die, whether that be a day or hour later."
Read more about his incredible story below.
Y'all ever hear of 'creative incompetence'? It's when someone goes out of their way to show they simply cannot accomplish a task. These fails are a bit different, as they come from people who seem to have gone out of their way to fulfill their duties, to disastrous or middling results. One thing's for sure, these people aren't getting any awards for being overachievers.

This is one seriously chill capybara! And this capybara is certainly living the good life!
When one capybara, who was chilling to the max within the hot spring, spontaneously emerges with a mandarin orange upon its head, it was a moment of beauty and amazement for all. It was perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Who could resist a capybara where an orange as a hat? Not many people in this world, including us.
This is why we're sharing this holy video with you, for you to feel connected to this capybara and the moment it reached enlightenment. Doesn't get any better than this, folks!
This is the greatest idea ever!
If you've always wanted a cat, and just wasn't sure about what living and sleeping with a cat would be like, this one Japanese Inn located in the hot spring town of Yugawara, Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan might be the answer to your questions! My Cat Yugawara, a lovely inn that has a really unique offering... the chance of having a sleepover trial with a potential adoptee!
In Japan, inns are known as 'ryokans,' and you'll be able to distinguish a ryokan from any common inn, a ryokan has more a minimalist design, futons for sleeping on a mat on the floor, traditionally paper walls, and communal baths (in this case, hot springs as well). What truly sets this inn apart from others is the opportunity to help cats find a forever home. Potential cat owners, who are unsure about living with a cat due to various living conditions, can really have their eyes opened by booking a room with a cuddly and adorable feline. Some rooms at the inn can house up to five people, letting a whole family experience a day in the life of having a cat.
Happy Friday, friends and meme lovers. It's that time of the week where we humbly present you with the best dank memes shared on Reddit. These spicy and (often dumb) memes have been freshly plucked from the r/dankmemes subreddit. The may not be the most smartest we've ever seen, but the gallery offers a healthy mix of relatable, geeky, and the kind of subtly offensive humor that normies may not enjoy. It's actually one of the better installments we've seen recently. Seems like election madness an "No Nut November" memes have cooled down. What a relief. If for some reason you want more, you can check out last week's offering here.

Time to open up those tomes of wisdom and bring it back retro style.

So stretch that noggin and enjoy some history memes you'll definitely have a chortle over!
World War II was a horrible, bloody, and dramatic period of time for pretty much the entire world. The atrocities that occurred are many. As is the case with most controversial and offensive times in history, the war has spawned some almost shamefully spicy and dank history memes. Here are some of our favorites.

Meet little Lalah! She was first rescued as a wee kitten from the side of the road in Okinawa, Japan. Her rescuer (and now owner) is the owner of a local climbing hall and brings Lalah with her.
It may not come as a surprise that Lalah was a natural at climbing the wall since she is after all a cat, but it's just so awesome and cute to watch her climb up the wall with no fear and no hesitation! And what's truly amazing, you can see all her moves are calculated, as if she's really thinking about which step to take next.
The bouldering gym, Boulbaka, often shares new videos of Lalah dominating the wall on social media!
