If you’re absolutely exhausted and desperately searching for places in your office you could secretly take a nap, you might want to look away now.

These otters are the ultimate napspiration. They will fill you with a deep, unending need for a nap. And no nap will be good enough ever again.

Because if a nap doesn’t involve tiny otter hugs, is it even worth it? Can any nap be as cuddly and comforting as this?

These are the big questions. We’re too sleepy to answer them.

So let’s just watch this one-day-old otter pup having a snooze on her mum’s tummy, and dream that one… Read the full story

Books are great and everything, but they don’t quite have the immediacy of the internet.

And let’s be honest, most of us would probably prefer to see a dick pic once and get it over and done with, rather than read 700 pages about a guy’s obsession with a whale.

Which is why we kind of prefer the title Moby Dick Pic, one of the many gems from the #InternetABook tweets.

We’ve picked 16 of our favourite tweets about what happens when cyber space and the literary world meet:

You were counting down the days at work til that magic time arrived.

You wondered how you’d fill your time.

And now you know.

Here’s 12 things that happen during your maternity leave.

1. You’ve worked out the cheapest thing you can buy in the Waitrose cafe to get your free cappuccino (FYI it’s a banana).

2. Actually, you get a bit obsessed with coffee and cake. You know the all best places and good deals you could write your own local guide.

There are some things that can be taught – by your parents, a teacher, good books.

But a lot of the big things – those important, life-changing things that will shape your future – are things you have to learn all alone.

Sometimes that’ll mean messing up; completely and entirely. But you’ll learn from it. And that’s what matters.

Redditors are sharing all their best wisdom on a thread that asks: ‘What’s the biggest life lesson you had to learn on your own?‘.

Their responses are definitely worth reading and memorising, so we don’t all have to go ahead and make the same mistakes.

Still in love with hot dogs but feel like they’re a bit 2015 now?

Don’t worry, there’s a new dog in town.

Enter The Daim Dog – a sweet brioche roll holding a gooey, melted, frankfurter-shaped Daim Bar.

There’s also mango and raspberry sauce on top, to look like mustard and ketchup.

The Daim Dog is the brainchild of Studio Kitchen at K West Hotel & Spa in Shepherds Bush, the same nuts who brought us the Creme Egg Burger last year.

Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient method that was rediscovered in the early 20th century and it might just be the key to calming those who feel sad, anxious, nervous or depressed.

A disarmingly simple style of acupressure, it works with a set of 26 points called Safety Energy Locks (SELs) along energy pathways. The 26 SELs are the locations in the body where energy tends to become stuck.

A Jin Shin Jyutsu practioner uses both hands to hold a combination of SELs in a gentle – yet effective – manner. They use their hands to release the SELs that have become stuck, allowing you to experience physical, mental and… Read the full story

Seriously, if you haven’t finished Making a Murderer yet, please get on with it. Because we need to talk.

Mostly about our massive crush on defence lawyers Dean Strang and Jerry Butting.

But, also about the hairstyles.

Oh, and then there’s the massive, glaring, inconsistencies and gaps in the prosecution’s case – although DA Ken Kratz has since said in interview that ’80 to 90 per cent’ of the forensic evidence was left out of the documentary.

If you’re still reeling from those verdicts, don’t worry, the internet has got you.

Everybody hands up.

As months of the year go, January gets a pretty bad rap.

Where December gets glitter, August gets sunshine and even plain old October gets fireworks, January gets weight gain, hibernation and nothing to look forward to for at least three months.

However, do not despair – there is more to January than going dry and saving money.

If you’re planning to hide under the duvet for the next few weeks and just ‘get through it’, think again.

Here’s 15 reasons why January is the best month of the year.

Whether it’s to send a message, entertain a friend or leave someone feeling completely embarrassed in front of their grandparents – a dick in a box seems like the perfect present for all.

And no, we don’t mean that Lonely Island/Justin Timberlake song.

Of course, as the website states, they’re not real dicks. No, just lollies shaped like them. Thank god.

And, as an added bonus, there’s a variety of pensises to choose from!

Imagine no more feeling bad about yourself after binging out on a huge bar of chocolate while catching up on your favourite episode of Orange Is The New Black. Okay… the entire season.

Just imagine no more sudden strict diets after you notice your jeans don’t fit quite right anymore.

It’s all down to scientists from the University of Montreal Hospital Research Centre, who recently discovered an enzyme that plays a central role in controlling glucose and fat utilisation – and can apparently detox excess sugar from cells.

They found that the previously unknown protein can help to speed up a chemical reaction within the body which has been named ‘glycerol… Read the full story

Boozing heavily is rapidly dying out, partly due to social media sites such as Instagram and Facebook, a new study suggests.

Exactly 5,000 beer drinkers between the ages of 21 and 35 were asked about their drinking habits.

Most respondents said they moderated the amount of alcohol they drank when on a night out. Over a third said they moderated every time they went out.

Surprisingly, 1 in 3 of the 5,000 people asked for the Heineken study admitted they had suffered ‘social shaming’ in the past, caused by being visibly drunk in a photo on social media.

Around 75 percent said they limited how much alcohol they drink because of the reach of social media – ie not wanting to post something they’ll most definitely regret in the morning.

This sounds pretty sensible too, especially if you don’t want to end up like that guy who was filmed with his friends using… Read the full story

Just when you thought the recapture of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman couldn’t get any more Hollywood, news emerged that the Mexican drug lord was interviewed by actor/investigative reporter Sean Penn soon after his jail break.

Penn interviewed El Chapo in October, in the middle of the Mexican jungle, for Rolling Stone.

The interview was then published in Rolling Stone at the weekend.

And anyone keeping a keen eye on the latest escaped gangster fashions will have spotted the snappy printed shirt El Chapo was sporting for the accompanying photoshoot.

Is anyone else feeling down in the dumps at the moment?

It is not surprising because January is by far the worst month of the year!

Here are a few reasons why it is so rubbish.

The Christmas Comedown

For the entire month of December, there’s been lights, music, fun, presents and parties so it is not surprising that once the decorations come down, you come down too.

This, combined with the tired, crappy feeling you have after weeks of overindulgence, makes for a bad start to the year.

So you decide to go on a diet

You feel fat, unhealthy and sluggish so you may plan to get fit for 2016!

Now and again, you just need to look at some physically attractive people on the internet. It’s okay.

Other times, you just need to look at some pictures of kittens. That’s okay, too.

And for those moments that you need to look at both, but just can’t be bothered with the faff of multiple tabs, there’s the Hot Dudes With Kittens Instagram.

It is, as the name probably gives away, an Instagram dedicated to photos with guys holding kittens. Hot guys.

More than one woman has lamented her lack of ability to grow a beard.

Not only can they look rather epic, they keep your face snug and warm.

But the days of beard envy are over, for women have figured out you don’t need a heavy dose of testosterone to adorn a chin with hair.

All that’s needed is a good amount of locks on the head and a few headbands.

Et voila, longer, more luscious, more ambitiously braided hair than men have ever dared to dream of.

It’s official, women can have better beards than men.
