This girl ate crisps covered in dead ants because it looked like pepper
Well, this is grim.
On September 13, 18-year-old student Emily Wagoner bought a bag of crisps from Pita Pit (a popular food chain in the U.S. that serves pita wraps and other lunch-y type things). She began to eat those crisps.
It wasn’t until she was half way through the bag that she realised that the black speckles on her crisps weren’t actually bits of pepper, but dead ants.
Oh god. This is awful.
‘I ate half the bag before realizing,’ Emily told metro.co.uk.

Woman fixes sexist and clichéd magazine covers aimed at young girls
Fed up with how magazines speak to young girls, a designer has decided to ‘fix’ the problem with a little photoshop.
Katherine Young, a graphic designer from California, has redesigned the front cover of Girls’ Life, a magazine targeted at pre-teen and teenage girls which made its own headlines earlier this month when it was spotted on shelves next to the equivalent front cover for boys.
The contrast in how we speak to girls and boys was stark. While girls were urged to ‘Wake up pretty!’, boys were told to explore their future.

Everyone’s obsessed with the six stunning outfits this bride wore for her wedding
When you’re getting married, finding the perfect dress is a big deal.
It was to make you look incredible, obviously. It has to be timeless, so you won’t hate how it looks in all the pictures twenty years later. And it has to be showstopping (because hey, this day is about you).
Finding that dress is high-pressured.
So why not make it even more stressful by choosing not one fancy dress, but six full-on wedding outfits?
Thai actress Noey Chotika tied the knot a few days ago, and set a new bar for wedding dressing, wearing six amazing outfits over the course of two… Read the full story

A giant inflatable moon went on the rampage in China and people freaked out
Just when you thought 2016 couldn’t get any scarier, the moon crash lands in China and starts rampaging through the streets.
Okay, so it was a giant inflatable moon, but it was still pretty scary.
The huge balloon was set to be one of the star attractions at the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival which takes place today (September 15), but was blown free from its tethers by strong typhoon winds and then caused havoc for motorists and pedestrians on the streets of Fuzhou, in eastern China.

You might be beginning to wonder if you’ve wasted half your life on taking and editing selfies on Instagram. But for one social media user, it’s paid off big time.
Jessie Bloemendaal, 20, won a modelling contract with Micha Models after entering a contest run by the agency on Instagram last year.
And since then, her career has rocketed.
In the past few days, she’s even been walking for superstar designers at New York Fashion Week.

Someone invented an alcohol free gin and it’s a game changer
Someone has invented the world’s first alcoholic free gin and with Oct-sober only weeks away, it’s a real game changer.
The new type of non alcoholic spirit is clear like gin and distilled in a copper pot with different botanicals including lemon peel, cardamom and cascarilla tree bark.
Seedlip, as the new gin is called, was invented by Ben Branson whose family have been farming for the last 300 year in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
He started trying to create the non-alcoholic spirit after realising there was no real halfway drink between soft drinks and alcoholic spirits.
After finding a book called The Art of Distillation that detailed non-alcoholic… Read the full story

This giant bird only allows people to come close if they bow to him, just like a Hippogriff
If you’ve been clinging onto the hope that Harry Potter isn’t entirely fictional, you might want to head down to Uganda.
There, a real life Hippogriff is demanding visitors bow down to him.
Hippogriffs are, as we all know, half-eagle, half-horse and reportedly very calm, sensitive and proud creatures which demand respect (according to Hagrid).
And Sushi, the grey Shoebill Stalk, looks and acts just like the mythical creature – anyone who wants to pat him must first bow down to him before coming within touching distance.
If you don’t, Sushi apparently just flies off.

Indonesian designer showcases the first all hijabi show at New York Fashion Week
The lack of diversity in the fashion industry is still a serious issue.

But there are designers who are changing things. Not through big stunts or campaigns, but simply by creating… Read the full story

In fact, head to her Instagram page, where she shares a mix of her cosplay pictures and images of Margot as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad and you’ll struggle to tell where the real Margot ends and Laura begins.

Someone’s imagined what animals would look like if they had eyes at the front and we can’t unsee it
Someone’s decided to mess around with evolution and we can’t unsee it.
Some animals, including, of course, humans, have evolved with forward-facing eyes in the front of their heads. Other animals have eyes that face sideways.
The reason is simple – survival of the fittest. Animals with front-facing eyes have a greater need to judge depth and distance. Whereas those whose eyes face sideways tend to be prey animals – they need to be able to see predators coming at them from the sides as they graze. So they need peripheral vision.
Oh, and then there’s crocodiles and alligators who have eyes on the top… Read the full story

McDonald’s just opened a restaurant that doesn’t serve burgers or fries
We’re worried about McDonald’s. First they opened a branch with a salad bar. Then they put kale in their salads.
And now they’ve opened a new restaurant that doesn’t sell any burgers.
Or fries.
The new McDonald’s, or, we should say, McCafé, opened on August 29 on Rue Rambuteau in central Paris.
It’s open all day from 7.30am to 10pm and it serves coffee, soup, club sandwiches, bagels, cakes, even macarons.

People are getting severely burnt by a cartoonist on Reddit who’s not holding back
If you’ve ever used Reddit, you’re probably aware that people ask a lot of strange questions.
And perhaps the most bizarre request is to be roasted.
As in, users genuinely ask for other people to rip the sh*t out of them by uploading their photos.
We don’t know why but it’s a thing that’s been happening on the r/RoastMe channel for ages.
And now, the cartoonist SketchyCrab has appeared on the subreddit, with hundreds of people asking them to draw them.

12 important life lessons parents should share with their kids
As a parent, you feel a duty to share with your children all the life lessons you wish someone had given you at a young age. And no, I don’t mean how to convince your parents to let you stay up late or have more pocket money, I mean encouraging morality, kindness, and conscientiousness.
Here are 12 life lessons that parents should be teaching their kids:
1. Kindness is free
Taking the time to say or do something nice – whether it’s saying someone’s hair looks nice or offering to carry a bag for them – can make a big difference to their day.

Gucci have released £1,230 slippers made out of hair and no one gets it
What’s the one accessory you need in your life right now? Perhaps something to keep you warm in the upcoming autumn months. Something tactile. Something iconic.
Perhaps, something like Gucci’s new ‘Princetown’ slip-on loafers?
They kind look like a lot of things. A pair of Shih Tzus, perhaps. Or more obviously, Donald Trump’s toupee.
What they don’t look like is real life, practical shoes.
First debuted on the runway at Milan Fashion Week, these goats hair slippers will set you back a mere £1,230.

220 baby squirrels are being nursed back to health after falling out of trees
Over the course of one weekend, a storm caused havoc along the area of Virginia Beach.
As well as causing damage to the area’s buildings and homes, the storm also disrupted 220 baby squirrels from their natural habitat. The high-force wind threw the squirrels down from their trees, leaving them far away from their mothers.
Many of the squirrels were injured.Others were likely to die, having been thrown out of their nests too early to survive.
But thankfully, people began to find the squirrels in bushes, on the pavement, and in shrubs.
