The Black Jaguar White Tiger Instagram account is the best ever, because it combines saving animals with adorable photos.

Prepare for all the feels people.

The foundation started back in 2013 when Eduardo rescued Cielo, a baby jaguar, from a life of being drugged.

Cielo’s captor was planning on making money from charging the public to take photographs with the black jaguar, but Eduardo rescued Ceilo and provided him with a safe home.

Now more big cats have joined Cielo at the foundation, with lions, leopards, tigers, jaguars and even a dog all hanging out together.

None of the animals were ever in the wild – Eduardo rescued them from circuses, zoos and breeders to take… Read the full story

As The Backstreet Boys (almost) sang of single women – ‘I don’t care who you are, where you’re from, what you did – you’ll all receive dick pics.’

It starts with a match on Tinder and a friendly chat.

He seems ok, like a nice guy, maybe someone you’d actually go out with.

He asks you to WhatsApp and you think ‘why not? It’s just a step closer to dating, right’?

Wrong. The moment you switch numbers he sends you a picture. A picture of himself. Of his penis.

It’s pretty bizarre behaviour to say the least.

So I thought I’d turn the tables.

I decided it was time to send my own dick pics.

File this under things we’re terrified to know. Still a really important medical discovery though, obvs.

Scientists from King’s College London have come up with a new blood test that could predict when a person will die, their risk of dementia, and their biological age.

The researchers say that looking at how well your body is aging is more useful than your actual ‘years on the planet’ age. Their new test looks for an ‘aging signature’ in your body’s cells by analysing the behaviour of 150 genes.

Some people, they suggest, age more quickly than others, and so may benefit from screenings for dementia and cancer from an earlier age.

The test was… Read the full story

It may just be the most Scottish thing to ever happen.

John Lawson and his colleagues have built a computer with a cooling system based on the nation’s favourite bright orange refreshment (or John’s at least), Irn Bru.

And they’ve called it the Aye-Mac.

Sadly, the coolant isn’t actual Irn Bru – it just looks incredibly like it.

However the 750ml glass Irn Bru bottle centrepiece is real. The bottle is then connected to flowing tubes, filled with a special orange faux-Bru liquid, which cools the machine and its circuits.

Animal charity ads are guaranteed to be a bit weepy. That’s their whole thing. Gotta be a tearjerker.

But The Blue Cross’ latest ad is a bit of bit of a gem, giving the classic ‘these dogs are sad and you should be sad, too’ theme a musical twist.

The basic premise: Baxter the dog singing ‘I Will Survive’ while making an escape from abusive owners.

It sounds a bit ridiculous at first, but it’s actually really emotional. Especially when he’s joined by all his new animal friends. Yes, YOU WILL SURVIVE, Baxter. You WILL survive.

Along with the ad, The Blue Cross also launched a pretty… Read the full story

Films, photos and literature seem obsessed with depicting the female orgasm.

But what about the guys?

Here’s 21 things you never knew about the male orgasm.

1. Secret semen

MI6 used ejaculate as invisible ink during WW1.

It was used for a time because it was not easily detected and was always to hand.

2. We have blast off

Astronauts have admitted to masturbating in space (via the term self-pollution).

But what they do with the emissions remains a mystery.

3. I’m speechless

Certain tribes in the African Congo don’t have a word for masturbation and it is thought this is because it simply isn’t done.

4. A quickie?

#kittenblockbusters is the best thing to have happened to Twitter today, in fact possibly ever.

For one thing it involves puns and who doesn’t like a good pun?

But then it combines puns with adorable photos of cats, which makes the trending hashtag seriously excellent.

The premise is simple – take a classic movie and turn it into something paw-some with feline related humour.

And people have rose to the challenge wonderfully.

Seriously, the Photoshop game is strong.

Congratulations Tweeters, we applaud your quick wit and envy the time you have on your hands.

While we’re making wonky paper planes and occasionally attempting a spot of origami, one artist is doing THIS.

Calvin Nicholls is an artist from Toronto, Canada, who makes incredibly detailed works of art made entirely out of paper.

He’s creating an entire collection of paper animals, complete with individually cut feathers and fur, that pop out of their frames for an incredible 3D effect.

Calvin began creating his paper art over 30 years ago. He told metro.co.uk: ‘While freelancing as a graphic designer in the 1980s, I was introduced to the art form and I began my search for tools and archival quality materials immediately.’

Crushes are the universal human experience. They unite us, in suffering and emotion.

But while they are universal, they are not eternal. They change with us, over time.

Sure, there are some ways crushes stay the same, but there are lots of things that have changed. Because we’re sort of grown up now.

And we’ve got our sh*t together*

*No, we don’t. Please send help.

Here’s how having a crush when in your twenties is TOTALLY different to having a crush as a kid.

As a kid: Passing a note with ‘do you like me? Yes/no’.

In your twenties: Questioning and over-analysing literally every interaction for ANY indication of what they’re thinking.

As a kid: Getting your friend to ask your crush out for you. Smooth.

In your twenties: Figuring stuff out on your own, like a functional adult. Or asking your mates… Read the full story

We’ve all had one of those drunken nights out when you set the world to rights and decide you’re going to move to San Francisco and save sea lions.

But then you go home, eat three rounds of toast, and wake up the next day to a phone full of internet searches about Daniel Bedingfield. Right?

Well, not this mechanical engineering student from Michigan Tech College. He woke up after a night on the vodka to discover he’d designed an entire plane. And he had absolutely no memory of any of it.

This beats sniffling through a recitation of Corinthians 13:4-8.

In another case of ‘thanks for attending, wedding guests, now sit in silence and observe our showy displays of affection’, one groom decided to skip the mushy wedding vows in favour of something a little bolder.

Explaining that he sometimes finds it hard to show his emotions, Jared surprises his bride, Kyndra, by vowing to ‘express how I feel to you in the most creative and ludicrous ways’.

And that he does, by launching into a lip sync mash-up of a bunch of songs declaring his undying love.

He kicks things off with a classic, telling Kyndra she’s the one that he wants. The sunglasses are really helping here.

When it comes to top cities you’ll be hard pushed to beat London.

What we lack in sunshine we make up for in culture, diversity, energy and hot women.

So if you’re looking for a date and don’t know how far to cast your Tinder net, keep it real and close to home.

Here’s 11 reasons why London girls make the best girlfriends.

1. They’re street

If you’ve lived in London you can live anywhere in the world and it takes a lot to intimidate a girl with a few years of city life under her belt.

When we put chocolate in our chilli, and salt on our chocolate, is it really so wrong to put coffee in our pasta? Is it?

It’s the question on everyone’s lips, after Sainsbury’s suggested a little instant coffee to perk up your favourite comfort food.

The supermarket has upset everyone with its new #LittleTwists marketing campaign, which recommends adding instant coffee to your spag bol. Just pop one teaspoon in your stock, they say. There’s even a video.

Of course, the Twitter reaction was entirely commensurate with the ‘crime’.

Let’s be real. We’re all just trying to make it through life the best we can, with as many Tinder matches as we can rake in.

Which is why we bow down to 20-year-old Austin, a true master of Tinder profile creation.

Rather than covering his profile with shirtless photos or a witty bio ripped off from the internet, Austin used all the skills secondary school gave him, creating a mini PowerPoint presentation explaining why women should swipe right.

Points deducted for Comic Sans, but added back on for the Austin-tatious pun in the bio.

The Alphabeta Building in Triton Court, Finsbury Square, is the UK’s first ‘cycle-in’ office.

Cyclists can ride in straight off the street, in through the lobby of the building, down a dedicated ramp, and straight to secure bike storage on the ground floor.

Hey, when a major selling point of your product is ‘it’s got a lot of fibre’, you need to get right to the point.

The latest advert from cereal brand Fiber One starts off based on the premise of a dude being pregnant and dealing with all the beauty of the creating life.

Along with a glorious pregnancy belly, he’s shown counting down the days, annoying his very supportive wife, and preparing for labour with some regulated breathing.

He enjoys the pregnancy perk of getting a seat on the bus.

Rainbow hair and pastel shades are pretty, sure.

But they’re a bit of a slap in the face for brunettes, who have to miserably scroll through people’s Instagrammed locks, wishing the trend didn’t require a heavy dose of bleach.

Thankfully, there’s now a trend that’s all about brunettes getting in on the unnatural colours thing: oil slick hair.

The colour trend, also known as petrol hair, relies on layering shades of blue, purple, and green, and works perfectly on darker hair. Having a brunette shade as the base means the colours don’t show up quite as bright – which is exactly the point.

 

Made Instagram famous by hairstylist Aura Friedman, the colour was inspired by… Read the full story
