Candace Payne, the now infamous Chewbacca mom who took the Internet by storm, was invited to Facebook headquarters for a visit. Guess that's what happens when you use Facebook Live to create your video and it racks up over 140 million views and counting. So she got to visit HQ for some QT with Chewbacca. She's had quite a week since posting her video, which also included  an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Mark Zuckerberg himself posted the pics of her visit. She somehow looked happier than she did in her original video:

Making the jump to light speed:

Striking a corporate pose:

Neither of these two require caffeine:

The only way she can top this week is if she gets invited to visit the set of Star Wars Episode VIII.


Colgate Max White toothpaste intended for men has Twitter warning of sudden beard growth.

Twitter user @bastorena spotted a tube of Colgate Max White that is driving people crazy, but not because they're excited about the toothpaste. (They should be. Everyone should always be excited about preventing cavities). @bastorena's tweet pointed out that the specific tube she'd photographed was labeled "for men." Not ladies. Women can't use this specific variety of Colgate, which according to Mic isn't available in the States.

With all its manly strength, does this toothpaste rip through delicate female teeth and inoculate their mouths with male privilege?

Twitter had a great time sharing the pitfalls of using a "man's" product as a female, as well as bemoaning this product's lack of more obvious manliness.

While many people had fun ripping into the toothpaste, some people did not enjoy the cacophony of humorous tweets surrounding this product.

Well, obviously this is an impersonal marketing tactic, but this toothpaste is a great chance to tackle sexism with jokes, so let's embrace it while we can.

Baby girl's sneeze/sigh captures that feeling you have when you're done with reality for the day.

Redditor Hokie200proof shared a video of their baby daughter glimpsing into her future life, seeing all the effort it demands, and letting it be known that she's not into the idea of aging. Fine, the baby is just sneezing. But this baby does have a very dramatic sneeze. 

The little baby is like, "I've thought about everything you're asking of me, and I'm not interested. Instead I will never grow up and will remain a blob of cuteness that you will take care of forever. More apple sauce, please."

So over sneezing.

Or maybe the baby is tired. Either way, baby struggled to emit a sneeze, putting her in the same bed as these other babies.

This tiny human had multiple bodily functions going on.

These babies wish they could sneeze.

And you can't forget about this shocker of a sneeze.

One sneeze to rule them all.

Here's what your state Googles more than any other. What is going on in Georgia?

One thing you learn pretty quickly from this map of which questions each state Googles more than any other is that people are f**king insane all across America. To be clear, this is not a map of which questions each state Googles the most. That map would be very boring and it just would be "what is normal penis size?" fifty times. This is what each state Googles more often relative to the other 49 states and DC. For example, "Am I a psycho?" Missouri wonders. Kansas, lacking Missouri's sense of introspection, simply asks "How to make meth?"

The people at Estately didn't just list the #1 questions asked by states, they also included the second, third, fourth, and so on most popular questions unique to each state. Some highlights include Alabama wondering "Who is Lucifer?"; California living up to its stereotypes by asking "Is Bernie Sanders vegan?"; and Delaware wondering "How to get away with murder?" (hopefully, they're asking about the show). But the best questions of all get asked the most in Georgia:

Who created God? / Who is in the Illuminati? / What is calamari? / What is adultery? / What is ovulation? / Who is going to be the next president? / Was Jesus black? / Who is Allah? / Is DMX dead? / Is Jesus real? / Is Vietnam communist? / How to hack an Instagram account? / How to improve credit score? / How to hotwire a car / Where is weed legal? / When is a woman most fertile? / Why are my nipples so sore? / How to be a man? / How to become a stripper? / Is Africa a country?

Truly, Georgia is the most American state in the union.

Facing each other on Manhattan's Canal Street, Havas Worldwide and Harrison and Star made mini masterpieces on windows. Told by their building management company that they must wave the white flag, the people at Havas called for a ceasefire with a final mic drop.

The Post-Its with the mostest.

Kid answers test question with a snide (but completely correct) response.

On Monday, Damith Bandara, an elementary school teacher in Wells, UK, posted a picture of a student's answer to a question on an standardized test. The answer was not only correct, but also quite apt.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156957707060296&set=gm.751048328370716&type=3&theater

When asked to use the word point as a verb, the child wrote, "I point at the car." When asked to use the same word as a noun, the kid wrote, "I don't see the point in SATs." (For the record, these SATs are Standard Assessment Tests, which are different than the SATs used in the U.S. for college admittance. This kid is much younger than American students taking SATs, but they're still standardized tests.) Touché​, grasshopper!

Bandara wrote:

Now that Sats are over. One of my children wrote this on the grammar paper. The question was to write the word 'point' as verb and noun. The answer you see is for the latter! An intelligent response I thought

The tests' usefulness may be up for debate, but clearly they're a good way to identify which students are smartasses.

The 19 most successful senior pranks in the history of senior pranking.

$

Senior pranks are a timelessly fun practice beloved by teens and dreaded by custodians. It's students' final chance to make their teachers regret becoming teachers. The best kind involve hijinx that inconvenience, but only right up until before the point of doing any permanent physical or emotional damage. Below are high school seniors who perfected the craft, and almost surely put more effort into their feats of mischief than any of their school work.

1. The kids at Boyertown High may not have left school with a sense of maturity, but at least they have landscaping experience.

2. It was a very bad day to be on Staley High School's janitorial team.

3. The class of 1985 at redditor u/_ISON_'s school had a prank that seems to have never ended.

About 30 years ago the senior class bought 10,000 business cards that simply said "Class of 1985", and hid them everywhere. Under couches, behind paintings, in books in the library, in ceiling tiles. Needless to say, the cards are occasionally found even to this day.

4. Most of these schools did not fetch a high resale value from the students who put them up for sale.

5. Redditor u/ctrm5336's senior class managed to prank two schools with one gag.

We swapped senior classes with another local high school for the day. Their entire class was assigned one of us, and each of us were assigned one of them. It was actually a lot of fun, until the electricity blew at our original high school so they all got to go home early.

6. You can never go wrong with thousands and thousands balloons.

7. So harmless, so dumb. This friend of redditor u/frisbeefrank's is a visionary.

My friend attached an F to the art room sign so it said Fart Room.

8. Making their coach think he's getting arrested definitely earned these kids a few extra laps at practice.

9. Honestly, flunking out of high school for having an "unorderly penis" would be kind of cool.

In honor of our senior prank happening a year ago I thought I'd do a throwback 😌

10. According to redditor u/therealmax, 'going out with a bang' is just a synonym for 'fly into the Danger Zone.'

Rode through the halls on my razor scooter wearing nothing but aviators, cowboy boots, and my tighty whities while the top gun theme song was being blared through the intercom. A few minutes later I was tackled by my principal broke free left my scooter behind and sprinted out of the building. I got one day of I.S.S. and my parents had to go get my scooter and hear from the principal why it had been confiscated.

11. The seniors at Raymore-Peculiar High School honored their final Hump Day together by renting the most hump-appropriate animal possible.

Yep. This is raypec'a senior prank. Good one. #lame#seniorprank#camel

12. The class above u/bananaboy23 disappeared the teacher's lounge, likely inciting dozens of coffee withdrawals that day.

The class above me had the best prank I have seen. They removed the door moulding of the staff room, and dry walled over the current door. Painted it, touched it up, making it look like part of the wall. To top it all off they bought a plant and placed it in front of where the door should have been. It was hilarious watching the teachers walk past and do a double take as they looked for the non-existent door.

13. This school's secretary is doing a very good job pretending she's not nearly up to her neck in packaging peanuts.

14. At redditor u/scotscott's school, you never know when a dildo may fall in your chowder, and that is not an innuendo.

a previous class had hidden dildos all over the school. Every so often we'd find a random dildo even a few years later. One day, we had the windows open in the dining hall, were eating lunch, and a strong gust blew by. An overlooked dildo was on one of the rafters and it fell down and hit someone in the head. new england clam chowder splashed everywhere.

15. Formerly known as Lannister Central.​

16. No matter what possessed u/BrushedYourTeethYet to do this insane 'Where's Waldo'-inspired prank, he was on to something. It worked beautifully.

Played a school wide game of where's wally.

I made posters with instructions to find all the wally's and then report to my year coordinators office to collect the prize. However, I made a condition that you had to do the Macarena to get the prize, and if the teacher didn't think they were dancing well enough they would "pretend" they didn't know what was going on.

Lead to a bunch of grade 8 and 9'ers flooding my year coordinators office doing the Macarena as she screamed "what are you doing? Why is this happening?", which apparently made them dance with more enthusiasm.

Year coordinators had to go around the school and find all the posters herself so the dancing would stop.

Extra info on the prank in case you want to execute it yourself:

-my year coordinators office was in a specific block within the school, so I made sure to hide the posters away from that area but still in areas many kids would be. E.g near the library, oval, or a toilet block etc.

-the day after the prank, I put up more posters thanking the school for participating in the grade 12 prank, and left a personal note for my year coordinator thanking her for being a good sport about it (taped to her office door). You know, just to rub it in a bit.

-I think I only did about 5 posters so I could make it relatively easy for kids to find them all, just so I could maximize the amount of kids flooding to my teacher's office.

17. These principals better have left a tip for the mariachi bands who their students hired to follow them all day.

18. Bringing dozens of dogs to school isn't even a prank, it's just what everyone wants all the time.

19. Lastly, u/jitzkrieg revealed that the best prank of all is actually no prank. Simply the ominous threat of one will do.

Operation Catfish.

Weeks of hushed conversations. Rumors spread. Administration got wind of it. Started asking questions. "What is Operation Catfish? When will it take place? Who is responsible?" No one broke. This was to be the greatest prank in the history of the county.

The day came. The plans were set. Teachers posted throughout the halls like sentries.

Nothing happened.

We catfish'd 'em.

George R.R. Martin revealed three 'WTF' moments to the 'GoT' showrunners. Two down, one to go.

Game of Thrones has made more episodes than the books' author George R.R. Martin could keep up with, and instead of pulling the plot from the existing fantasy series, it is now up to show's writers to decide the fates of the characters. As Martin works on the next book, the sixth in the series, he has relinquished control of what happens on the Game of Thrones TV show to its showrunners, David Benioff and Dan Weiss, they recently told Entertainment Weekly

Remember Stannis? Lol.

Season six is the first time that the show will produce episodes not based on what Martin has written, but he did give his input as to how the series should play out, and revealed (back in 2013) to Benioff and Weiss three major "WTF" moments that are to be included in the TV series. "Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss tell EW those conversations included 'three holy sh– moments' in particular." We have seen two of them so far.

The first: Stannis Barathon trading the life of his daughter Shireen for some promised good juju that he ultimately did not receive. This incident was shown during season five, and has not (yet?) happened in the books.

Remember how much you hated Melisandre for this?

The second: Discovering Hodor's extremely sad origin story that somehow makes you like him even more. 

The third: ????

No one knows.

Showrunner David Benioff teased that the last big surprise is "from the very end."

Benioff and Weiss also tell viewers (who are worried that watching the show will spoil the books) not to fret. Although there will be some plot overlap, ultimately the book series and the television series will be going in different directions. Benioff tells Entertainment Weekly:

People are talking about whether the books are going to be spoiled – and it’s really not true. So much of what we’re doing diverges from the books at this point. And while there are certain key elements that will be the same, we’re not going to talk so much about that – and I don’t think George is either. People are going to be very surprised when they read the books after the show. They’re quite divergent in so many respects for the remainder of the show.

And finally, for the first time, your friends that read the book can't spoil what is going to happen on the show for you.

Just like how the Internet clobbered real person Chrissy Teigen for going out for dinner when she has a baby, Mindy Kaling's character on The Mindy Project is also expected to be at home with her kid at all times.

With people wondering how Fake Mindy dares to date when there's a baby at home, Real Mindy took to Twitter to call out those who criticize her character when they wouldn't see a problem if she were a dude.

Fans responded to the tweet with the usual responses of "SLAY!!!", "YAAAAAS" AND "Marry me," and also some stellar responses.

Not even fictional characters are immune to mommy-shaming. But luckily for Mindy Lahiri, Mindy Kaling's got her back. 

Twitter is adding the one feature only its most narcissistic users ever wanted.

The not-so-young-anymore social network Twitter recently released a statement saying that users should expect to see some changes to the social media platform that will make "conversations faster and more intuitive for people who come to Twitter everyday and those who are new to the service."

Wow, faster than 140 characters? Does that mean we will all hav 2 writ lyk dis 2  tak 2 ppl? Not quite. Here's what you can actually expect from the Twitter updates that CEO Jack Dorsey says will "make Twitter a better experience."

1. No more periods before tagging someone for all your followers to see.

Right now, if you wanted all your followers to see an interaction between you and another user, you have to put a period before tagging their name. The period will not be required any longer, so you can use that one precious extra character for something that really counts, like another emoji. 

See? Without that pesky little period, you have one more character to use to really get your point across.

2. When you reply to a tweet, the tagged username will not count toward you character limit.

If you've ever had a long, philosophical conversation with multiple people over Twitter (that you should really be having over text), you know it's easy to run out of characters just from tagging your conversation partners. Now you can use up all 140 characters of your tweet without wasting space tagging names in the reply.

3. Photos, videos, and GIFs won't count toward the 140 character limit, either.

So you can finally give things the long-winded, detailed, and definitely interesting captions they deserve. 

4. This is the big one. You can finally retweet and quote tweet yourself!

Narcissists, rejoice! You can now push your own tweets even harder by retweeting and quote-tweeting yourself. If you said something you thought was profound weeks ago, you no longer have to pretend to be embarrassed by replying to yourself. Now you can feign modesty while retweeting yourself!

These changes are expected to be come to Twitter over the next few months. Now that you have more characters, use them wisely.

Fashion site Mode has made a cottage industry out of videos that demonstrate the fashion trends of the past 100 years. In the past, they've wowed the Internet with 100 years of lingerie, engagement rings, wedding gowns, hats, men's swimwear, fitness gear, and even dinners. But with their latest video, Mode has really put their finger on what people want to see: nail art! The art of fingernails. They put... their finger on it. Anyway, it's a good video:

Those 40s nails were intense, right? You could put someone's eye out with those! That's probably why they were the Greatest Generation.

Are you going to adopt any of these retro styles the next time you get your nails did? Any of them would still look great if paired with the right outfit. You just might have to show this video to your manicurist so they know what the hell you're talking about. Or you could show them an old, yellowed copy of Harper's Bazaar.

A fan threw Bieber a gift representing her country, and he threw it right out the car window.

From the Unforced Celebrity Errors Department: When a 15-year-old fan threw an Argentinean flag into Justin Bieber's open car window in New York, he tossed it right back out before being driven away. Naturally, the teen girl was crushed, since she'd been waiting outside just for a glimpse of him as he left. She was also embarrassed, as the way the flag landed was closer to the Biebs than she intended. She reportedly described the incident in a Facebook post:

Of course it was not my intention for it to fall close to his face, so I apologized a thousand times. He looked at me... grabbed the flag, threw it on the pavement and shut the window.

Here's the video of the exchange: 

Interestingly, Bieber has a history with the Argentinean flag. Until last year, he had warrants out for his arrest in Argentina for an assault incident with the paparazzi. During that same trip, he wiped the stage floor with the Argentinean flag during a concert. That resulted in several fans and the public converting from Beliebers to rabid abiests.

It seems now he has permanently burned a bridge with Argentina. Not to worry, there are plenty of countries for him to piss off before the year ends.

If you can't be charmed by this video of a high school kid pulling off a very dumb trick with a water bottle for his school talent show, maybe you should check your pulse to make sure you still have a heart. The entirety of the trick is that Ardrey Kell High School student Mike Senatore flipped a water bottle and landed it perfectly. But the set-up! The standing ovation! The drama!

According to his friends' tweets, this very dumb thing was a very long time coming.

This kid is the world's charming smug jock little brother today, and because of that, the world loves him.

TV writers love to write stories in which their female protagonist gets raped, because then they don't have to do anything else to flesh out that character's back story—no less than Jodie Foster has recently complained about the practice. It's like a TV version of how many times the person writing this post has blogged about the Kardashians—writers be lazy! As it happens, not-actually-lazy comedian Stephanie Bencin parodied this practice in her trailer for the not-actually-upcoming crime drama "The Violated." Slogan: "She's not just good.

Amber Heard files for divorce from Johnny Depp three days after his mom's death.

As if Johnny Depp hadn't already been having a hard enough year, now Amber Heard is asking the eccentric actor for a divorce. Between running afoul of the law in Australia with his dogs, being mocked for his (and Amber's) bizarre video response to his Australian troubles, and the very recent death of his mother, it's been a rough stretch for Depp, who was known for being very close to his mother.

Yikes. Sources say the couple had no prenup, and that Heard (who recently appeared in Magic Mike XXL and The Danish Girl, among other films) is asking for spousal support. If there was any sign that this was coming, the two certainly didn't show it in public. Just this week, Depp was on Jimmy Kimmel Live making Pink blush so hard she now goes by Red, and calling an Australian politician a 'tomato.'

Feast your eyes on Frederik the Great, a majestic stallion who is undoubtedly the world’s most handsome horse.

Horses are magnificent and attractive creatures, but you have probably never seen a horse who leaves the beauty of ordinary horses in the dust quite like Frederik the Great, a Friesian stallion. Frederik may not have been officially crowned king, like his Prussian namesake, but he can nonetheless boast about being 'The World's Most Handsome Horse.' Why?

His perfect muscle harmony.

His elegant, noble gait.

His majestic, flowing mane.

This striking hoofed creature is owned by Pinnacle Friesians—Friesian horse breeders located in the Ozark Mountains of the United States. Frederik became a prominent figure in the horse enthusiast world after nabbing the 2007 Grand Champion title for dressage at the Woodside Expo in California.

Also, Frederik has his own Facebook fan page with over 13,000 admirers from across the globe. Wrote one fan,

When I die I want to be cremated, put in a pretty little [vial] necklace and hang around the neck of a beautiful horse like Frederick for a few days, so I can say I rode with the wind.

Slay, Frederik. Slay.

Another writes:

There will NEVER be a more majestic, handsome, sexy horse on the face of the earth. Never, ever. I wish I could just touch and 'smell' him just once ... He has taken my breath away forever.

According to The Telegraph, Frederik has had offers from several major production houses to appear in movies. It's not hard to see why:

Frederik's exemplary resumé, coupled with his ravishing looks, should be enough to attest that he is, in fact, "The World's Most Handsome Horse," whether it's possible to say if that's true or not.
