competition

There's no solution more compelling than those lazy "it's not stupid if it works" moments, even if they're technically against the rules. A low budget or DIY solution might make a judge mad, but you can't say that your solution wasn't effective. For another story of a stroke of lazy genius, here's a guy who needed a permit to build a garage so he just bought a van.

Every dog owner has probably thought to themselves at some point: "my god, my dog is the cutest dog in the whole world." You're right, of course, to you, your dog is the cutest dog for real. A couple days ago, a twitter user called @verbalese decided to announce to the world that their dog is indeed the cutest dog, challenging other twitter users to come at them, and the rest... is history.

Countless people started responding to that tweet with adorable pictures of their own doggos, answering the challenge in a heartbeat, to the point that the original challenger conceded and said that they were wrong, that there are so many super sweet doggos, that the whole thread has melted their cold heart, and that they love (hate) everyone who participated. 

Honestly, the real winners of the competition are us, getting look at all these most adorable good bois. Going through this thread had us losing it over the cuteness, going like: "oh, he's the cutest- no, she's the cutest- no, he's the cutest- no, she's-"

Katmai National Park's annual competition of voting for your favorite chubby bear is back and voting has already begun! Which chubby cubby will win the title this year? 

Every Fall, the 'Fat Bear Week' competition takes place and it's a celebration in which the online community compares photos of bears in Spring and those same bears all chubbed up and getting ready for hibernation! The difference between the photos is often very obvious. And while it's a fun competition to take part in, it's truly all about these amazing bears, their survival, and how we're learning from them. 

For those who might consider this to be body shaming, it's actually all about body positivity. A bear needs to bulk up before winter, or else it won't survive. As the U.S. Department of the Interior says, "A fat bear is a healthy bear!" Bears can lose up to a third of their entire body fat as they hibernate. 

You can vote for your favorite chubby cubby here! And follow Katmai National Park on Twitter for all the updates! 

It was a somber weekend for much of the United States after the news of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death broke on Friday. The 87 year old judge was a champion for women's rights, and had become somewhat of a cult figure in recent years. Many devotees shared somber, wordy, and often beautiful tributes to their hero, highlighting her accomplishments and struggles as a woman in politics. But it's a warm and silly Twitter thread from one of Ginsburg's former clerks, Scott Hershovitz, that really made us feel something. 

The thread, which involves some "friendly" fantasy baseball competition, shows a side of RBG that's a little more personal than most. A quiet but feisty mischief that we assume only those closest to her were privy to witness. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

The winning images of the competition, only open to zoo or aquarium staff and volunteers, have managed to capture incredible behind the scene moments from the daily routine of animals and staff alike.
Judge and BIAZA spokesperson Andrew Hall said: "Every day our zoos and aquariums are sharing the extraordinary beauty and fragility of the natural world and this is evident in the incredible winning photos."

Just because we're in the middle of a global pandemic and museums are closed, doesn't mean we can't see the exhibits inside them!

The Yorkshire museum created a week #curatorbattle on social media for museums around the world to showcase their creepiest exhibits, and museums from all over the world have taken part.

Every family does weird stuff; it's just a fact of life. Actor and writer Bridie Connell shared an adorable, yet nonsensical game that she and her dad have been playing for 15 years called "pinch and a punch, first day of the month." Neither of them have any idea how it started, but it's cute and amusing nonetheless!

Let's not mix up the facts here, she is a filthy cheater. That said, regarding her coworker, anyone who cares this much about an office chili cook-off may not have their priorities in order. It seems like no one here is that great of a person, but such it is in the cut-throat world of office chili cook-offs. For some office stuff, here's a twitter thread about an umbrella that locked out an entire company for days, and here are funny office notes.

Little Gus, Digger and Bandit are among the dogs wagging their tails at the Huon Show dog high jump in Tasmania, Australia. As friends and newly-won fans cheered on, it wasn't all about which pooch could jump highest, but instead, just giving it your best go.
