Mark Zuckerberg has confused the world with pictures of his beloved dog, camouflaged among everyday objects. 

Sharing three photos of his fluffy pooch, Beast, he wrote: ‘Here are some photos of Beast blending in around the house.’

Nonetheless, the people who did respond to the post were utterly baffled, as to where exactly Beast was hiding in these pictures.

Can you find him?

Today in problems we wish we had: America has too much cheese.

Seriously. They’ve got loads of cheese. It’s a country with more cheese than you could shake a breadstick at.

According to Bloomberg, America is sitting on a ‘mountain of cheese’ – the largest surplus of cheese the U.S. has had in the last thirty years.

Oh, and it’s all Europe’s fault.

See, at the moment dairy products across Europe are super cheap, meaning the U.S. is importing it like crazy. You know, to fulfill Americans’ need for fancy French cheese and a nice chunk of Wensleydale.

Ask yourself, when was the last time you had a decent creamy side of coleslaw in a restaurant?

Are you fed up of asking for classic ‘slaw and getting some mayo-free pile of shredded cabbage that’s drowning in lime?

While we’ve been busy obsessing over dirty burgers, pulled pork and fried chicken, we’ve forgotten one of the most integral parts of the meal, the thing that binds it all together.

But, fortunately, an American dude called Ed Sanborn from Haverhill, Massachusetts, has our back.

There are days when we look back over the past 24 hours and lament the fact that we have accomplished nothing.

Not just that day, but in our entire lives.

Because really. How much of a difference have we made in the world? Have we ever saved a human life? Have we prevented an exotic species of bird from dying out?

And more importantly, have we ever built a tortoise a miniature replica of a film set?

One man has. This man is Oliver Turpin. This man will go down in history.

Any picture that makes it on to the internet has the potential to make it into a Photoshop battle. 

If you aren’t yet aware of what this means, it’s basically where strangers of the internet take said photo and edit the sh*t out of it to make it even funnier.

So, when one Reddit user uploaded a photo of a bear from Berlin zoo, who has been pictured chilling out in the sun, looking incredibly relaxed and at ease – it didn’t take long for the Photoshop battle to commence.

He had a great time listening to campers sing ‘Wonderwall’.

Why do we say ‘bless you’ when someone sneezes?

The confusion and mild hurt you feel when no one says ‘bless you’ when you sneeze makes you realise that this response has become second nature.

It’s just polite, isn’t it?

Or is it?

Come to think of it, does anyone actually know why we bless a person’s sneeze?

Garlic lovers, we hope you’re ready.

McDonald’s is rolling out a new chicken nuggets recipe

McDonald’s is about to add your favourite flavour to your fries.

Forget about chocolate-covered fries, it’s time for a local trial of Gilroy Garlic Fries – the new made-to-order menu item that the fast food restaurant chain are currently trying out.

They’re regular fries, but with some new exciting-sounding seasoning tossed in, namely Gilroy garlic and olive oil, Parmesan cheese, parsley and a pinch of salt.

Basically, it sounds a bit like garlic bread. But with McDonald’s fries, so obviously better.

Needless to say, people were excited:

Those sexy Romans had interesting preferences

Masturbation dates back tens of thousands of years, right back to the when humans were living in caves.

Today there are of course dozens of methods of self pleasure (dildos, vibrators, manual to name a few).

But 28,000 years ago things weren’t so easy.

In honour of International Masturbation Month (May!), here’s a look at the history of self-pleasure, sex toys and, well, sex itself.

 

From erotic literature and art, to buzzing new inventions, it seems when our ancestors had some time on their hands they knew what needed to be done.

The 17-year-old from Ohio wanted an extra glow for her big night.

So, she booked herself into the Bella Via Day Spa in Toledo for a little pampering. She says she was well looked after by the beauty therapist and was ‘extremely happy’ when she left the spa with her new bronzed look.

But, the sensitive teen soon learnt an unexpected lesson about spray tanning – you really need to keep your… Read the full story

Don’t you just love sibling rivalry?

You get absolutely terrorised by an angry goose and your sister posts the pictures on Twitter where they’re seen by over 100,000 people.

The big sis in question is 17-year-old Stevie Gidden from Houston.

Last weekend, she went with her little five-year-old sister Summer and their two brothers to get a closer look at some baby geese near their house.

Which is when the angry goose attacked. As Summer is the smallest, she bore the brunt of its rage.

It looks pretty brutal. We know this because as well as rescuing Summer, someone managed to get pictures.

And Stevie shared them on Twitter, writing: ‘Summer got attacked… Read the full story

They come with a demo button – you’ll be fine.

Called McTrax, the paper mat contains an incredibly thin circuit board and connective ink to connect to your phone via Bluetooth.

Finally. The world has given us what we’ve all been waiting for. The ability to respond to every text we receive in GIF form, without the need to open a new window in Safari or scroll through our personal collection.

GIF legend GIPHY has just created a snazzy new GIPHY keyboard, which allows you to easily send GIFs the same way you would a text or emoji.

If you’ve used Tinder recently, you’ll know how it works – you select the GIPHY keyboard, search for the GIF of your choice (or use one of the keyboard’s suggested ones), copy and paste it into the text field, and hit send.

Meaning that you’ll be able to respond like this when your mum asks what you want for dinner:

This is how big your penis needs to be in order to use an XL condom

Just how big does your manhood need to be in order to fit an XL condom? 

It’s the question all men are secretly dying to find out – unless you already wear an XL when getting down and dirty, of course.

Condoms are all slightly different sizes but, according to The Condom Depot Learning Center, an average XL condom is 2.25 inches (5.7cm) in nominal width (which we’ll call width from now on), and 8.1 inches (20.6cm) in length.

If you’re kidding yourself into thinking you’re an XL when you’re actually ‘just’ a large (or anything else), you’re putting both yourself and person you’re sleeping with at risk of an STI – as condoms that are too large for you are at risk of slipping off without you even realising.

And really, the girl (or guy) is not going to know which size condom you’re wearing anyway – they’re not interested. So stay safe… Read the full story

Everyone knows that if your WiFi goes down mid-Netlix sesh, there’s really only one solution.

Head downstairs and turn the router off and on again. Works every time. And if it doesn’t, you’re seriously screwed.

This solution has been with us since the dawn of computers. It’s reliable. It’s always been there for us. But the one thing that’s always been holding it back from greatness? The effort involved.

An exciting new art exhibition has opened at London’s Chisenhale Gallery.

Except you can’t get in to see it. Because the gallery will be closed for the duration of the exhibition.

And also there’s no actual art there anyway.

Because art.

Berlin based artist Maria Eichhorn has called her new exhibit ‘5 weeks, 25 days, 175 hours,’ which is the exact length of time she has paid all eight members of staff at the Chisenhale Gallery not to go to work.
