Calvin Harris reportedly moves on from Taylor Swift by nicely talking crap about her on Instagram.

Calvin Harris is apparently continuing the drama of his breakup from Taylor Swift by getting rather transparent on Instagram. Harris has already unfollowed and followed the 26-year-old, who is happily engaging in a great PR stunt with Tom Hiddleston, on Instagram. On Thursday evening, he took to engaging with his fans and answering questions in the comments, E! News reported. The comments are now deleted, as usual.

Have an amazing 2016 everyone

A photo posted by Calvin Harris (@calvinharris) on

Harris coolly called out Swift's media skills, and explained why he went back and forth on following her Instagram.

For better or worse, Swift is undoubtedly a master at publicity. Admit it and move on.

Harris essentially confirmed that Swift left him to be half of Hiddleswift.

Did she leave him because they didn't have a cute nickname?

Harris says he is now "free" to do things like Instagram and eat breakfast.

Just another day of crunching on a bowl of Wheaties and talking smack about his ex. Though, Harris probably doesn't eat Wheaties. No one does.

Harris made other comments about how he doesn't hate Taylor Swift, but her fans could grow up.

Commenter1: And now if someone else tries to 'influence' her way of living-thinking-partying, Swifties get defensive and harsh

Calvin: in a decade they really should've grown up by now

Commenter2: Calvin I know you're jealous of Taylor now

Calvin: not jealous sir, FREE

Commenter3: how come you decided to respond to your comments I'm curious to know

Calvin: because I want to understand how these people's minds work

Commenter4: I think you good but why hate Taylor?!

Calvin: I don't at all

But this could all be as real as that Tom Hiddleston interview. An unnamed source who claims to be close with Harris told Entertainment Tonight that the scorned ex didn't write those comments."Sources" are about as reliable as a good bowel movement, so believe what you will.

If 'Game of Thrones' took place entirely on Snapchat: all of Season 6 so far.

This season on Game of Thrones has been especially significant for two reasons: 1) the showrunners have officially left book territory far behind and are galloping towards the eventual plot resolution, and 2) Someecards started making Snapchat recaps of every episode. ​On the eve of the season finale, we've collected all of our recaps in one place, so you can remind yourself what happened before Sunday.

Episode 1 - "The Red Woman"

Fans waited with bated breath to answer just one question: was Jon Snow dead? We know now that he's not, but D&D (showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss) weren't about to resolve it in episode one. That turned out to be way less of a big deal than how long ago Melisandre should have died.

If 'Game of Thrones' was on Snapchat. Season 6, Episode 1. (1/12, Spoilers, duh.)

This was also the episode where I was learning how to use Snapchat. As you can see, the early episode was entirely video clips. Some weird and experimental stuff was tried, mostly because I didn't know how to do normal stuff, but there was room for improvement. Here's the full Ep. 1 recap:

Episode 2 - "Home"

Bran finds out Hodor has a backstory that will surely not be depressing. The Mountain stands up to sexist street comedians. The Sparrow remains a smarmy little butthole. Tyrion drinks and knows things. Ramsay promotes himself. Euron Greyjoy sails out of the books to finally appear in the show. Yara is told she can't just be anointed as queen. Davos tells Melisandre to stop moping and start magicking.

Here's the full Ep. 2 recap:

Episode 3 - "Oathbreaker"

Jon finally puts some damn clothes on (but Tormund will never forget what he saw). Bran finds out his dad was full of malarky. Daenerys asks to speak to the resort management. Tyrion grabs a drink with coworkers. Qyburn takes on some interns. Tommen gets played like a sweet dumb fiddle. Arya takes a drink. Jon quits.

This is the last all-video recap, but you can clearly see the Snapchat visual language taking form in this episode. I've almost learned this thing.

Here's the full Ep. 3 recap:

Episode 4 - "Book of the Stranger"

More than two Starks are alive and in the same place for the first time since Season 3 (not counting Bran and Rickon, which nobody does). Jon hopes for a vacation while Sansa plans an invasion. Tormund is in love. Littlefinger hands out falcons and mercy. Tyrion cuts the aristocracy a deal. Jorah stops hiding who he is (a dying man). The Sparrow tells Sansa how much he used to have sex. Osha doesn't get a sex scene. Theon pledges his superdelegate vote to Yara. Daenerys takes over Dothraki High.

Here's the full Ep. 4 recap:

Episode 5 - "The Door"

Hold it, "The Door"?! Ho boy. We have to talk about this one. OK. Well, Littlefinger and Sansa reunite thanks to Petyr's teleportation device, Yara loses a dick-based election, and Arya attends the theater for the first time. HBO shows some skin, specifically foreskin, and Bran flashes all the way back. Dany forgives Jorah so he can wander the earth even longer, and Tyrion hires religious fundamentalists to improve Mereen's religious fundamentals. Meanwhile, up North, dumbass Bran gets everyone killed and also gives Wyllis a hard reboot without saving first.

Here's the full Ep. 5 recap:

Episode 6 - "Blood of My Blood"

Episode six followed up with some of the less-emphasized characters of Season 6, particularly Sam and Gilly. Sam's dad is a dick, but Sam has gotten (somewhat) tougher since last seeing him. Arya quits her job and prepares for a nasty severance package. Mace Tyrell gives a speech, but the Sparrow still has some tricks up his itchy-looking sleeves. The Freys still exist, and apparently so does Benjen Stark. Dany finds the Drogon she left lying around the wilderness.

Here's the full Ep. 6 recap:

Episode 7 - "The Broken Man"

Margaery convinces Lady Olenna to split town, but not before tearing Cersei a spicy new one. The Hound tries pacifism, Ian McShane lights up the scenery, and Sansa keeps not mentioning the whole "I-have-an-army" thing.

Here's the full Ep. 7 recap:

Episode 8 - "No One"

Arya's long and painful training montage comes to a thrilling—if confusing—end. She mulls the drug-addled life of an actor before the Waif shows up so Arya can finally lure her back to the murder-cave we saw two episodes earlier. Bad guys play butthole pranks before being beheaded by the Hound. Cersei says that line from the trailer about choosing violence, The Mountain finally gets to do Mountain stuff to the religious dudes, and Jaime is reminded that one woman who's not his sister thinks he's pretty cool. This drives him to talk about how much he loves his sister, naturally.

Here's the full Ep. 8 recap:

Episode 9, "Battle of the Bastards"

This was by far the most popular episode of the series, and it finally seems like the recaps got figured out as well. Because there were so many battle scenes, the plot is pretty easy to sum up: Daenerys used her dragons in a fully militarized fashion for the first time, before making a potentially sexy alliance with Yara Greyjoy. Meanwhile, Jon leads most of his forces directly into noble slaughter after being taunted with the death of the least important Stark—all while Sansa gathers the army she never told him about. Ramsay Bolton gets recycled.

Here's the full Ep. 9 recap:

And that's the season so far! Check back in on Monday for our finale recap, and we'll revise this article to include all of Season 6. Happy shitting, everyone!

A robotics company claims a robot that 'remembers and learns' has escaped their lab twice. Come on now.

$

According to both The Mirror and Metro UK, a robot that "remembers and learns" has remembered and learned how to escape the confines of its lab in Perm (a city in central Russia), not just once, but twice. The implication is that somehow the robot, a Promobot IR77, has achieved sentience and now Short Circuit is real.

Here's video of the robot's purported second "escape."

Upon hearing this, you might be thinking, "Oh no, robot revolution, the end is nigh!" or maybe even, "HOORAY! THE SINGULARITY!" (ahem, guilty) but once initial excitement fades, perhaps you must admit that there's no way this can be real. Look at the facts:

• Here is a video from nine-months-ago of Oleg Kivokurtsev, co-founder of the research center (Skolkovo Robotics Center) that engineered Promobot, talking about what the robot was designed to do.

Okay, so it's meant to assist in navigation, "broadcast promotional information," and collect customer contacts. It's no HAL 9000 (RIP, HAL). So there's probably no need to worry about imminent machine apocalypse. YET.

• Promobot claims that the first escape occurred when an engineer testing the robot in the courtyard left a gate ajar, allowing the robot to "escape," only to run out of battery in the middle of a crosswalk (ugh, typical, right?). The robot was missing for 45 minutes, during which time it was ogled by passerby in cars and on foot. If one were designing a publicity stunt, that sounds like a pretty good plan.

• The company has the "escape" posted on its own website, with the headline "A robot fled the test site." Additionally, local news coverage of the robot's escape has been uploaded to Promobot's official YouTube page. If this robot's inexplicable sentience were actually a problem, it seems unlikely that the company would be broadcasting their design error. "Hey, buy our robots, there's a chance they might form an uprising and kill you, but theoretically they'll be able to give you directions to the nearest restroom until then."

• This is not a robot designed to get around. It moves very slowly and there doesn't appear to be any obvious means for righting itself (like, for example, these guys) when it inevitably falls off a curb. Mechanically speaking, it's not a whole lot more advanced than Rosie from The Jetsons. So how did it even get to the street during its "escape"? Answer: it didn't. No proof, just a hunch.

• Kivokurtsev has said that they're considering "scrapping" this second version of the model, due to the minor problem where one of them seems to be alive and looking to flee captivity. However, he claims they're still proceeding with the release of the third version, scheduled for the fall. Hmm. If they were really so concerned with the "becoming conscious" problem, would they really still be on schedule to release the third version? Because that seems…unwise. Have these people ever heard of movies?

• Promobot has said that the other robots are "well-behaved" and this is the only one who's tried to escape. Kivokurtsev said: "We have changed the AI system twice, so now I think we might have to dismantle it." According to the Metro, the plan to dismantle the robot has upset a "group of rights activists who say the free-thinking robot has earned the right to remain alive." Okay, NO, IT HAS NOT. There cannot be any ROBOT RIGHTS ACTIVISTS protesting the scrapping of the robot. Nor is the robot itself worried about being "scrapped." ("NO DISASSEMBLE!")

So while it's terrifying/fun to think that this artificial intelligence has led to robot consciousness, it seems highly unlikely. Rest assured that if someone does design/achieve the singularity, it will not be by accident, and it will probably not be designed to get tourists to the correct airplane gate.

Scott Adams, creator of 'Dilbert,' thinks the media is 'humiliating' American men.

Hey, did you know that Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert (yes, that Dilbert) is also, for all intents and purposes, a men's rights activist? Recently, that's been overshadowed by his take on Donald Trump's manipulation of voters with rhetoric that he calls "persuasion perfection."

But now he's in the news again for views sympathetic with men's rights activism and, surprise, he's quite vocal about those views (as most MRAs are). On Thursday, he wrote a post called "The Humiliation of the American Male in 2016" for his blog, in which he expounds upon his theory that the media is purposely belittling men, based on men wearing V-neck sweaters in commercials, and on the mere existence of Hillary Clinton.

His missive begins:

Perhaps the biggest unreported story of this presidential election is the humiliation of the American male. Unless I’m blinded by confirmation bias—which is entirely possible—it seems to me that the humiliation of American men is now institutionalized in the media.

Aaannnnd he's off! Okay, time to examine this statement. Basically he is saying he thinks a thing is happening, and unless he's biased by his own pre-existing beliefs (which he clearly is, and even admits that's "entirely possible"), that thing he thinks is happening is definitely happening. Hmm. Can't argue with that…OR CAN YOU? Turns out you can. Dude. It's not happening. No one is humiliating men, as the wage gap attests. If they feel humiliated, they're doing a pretty good job of that themselves, with no outside help whatsoever.

He continues:

Check out this commercial for dishwasher soap. And take careful note of the American man’s v-neck sweater. That’s the uniform of a man who is owned by a woman.

Here's the commercial:

A man in a V-neck sweater? The outrage! What's next, a man in tight jeans? Everyone knows men would never wear this stuff unless forced to by a succubus woman. Left to their own devices, men are only capable of wearing crew-neck sweaters, cargo shorts, and maybe an old promotional Joe Camel T-shirt from 1997. And they'd try to wear that on their heads, because ugh, MEN, right?

AS IF V-NECK SWEATERS WEREN'T EVIDENCE ENOUGH, Adams has more facts to back up his hypothesis. After clarifying that he's voting for Hillary Clinton, Adams writes:

If you are following the election polls, you know that Clinton has greater support from women while Trump has greater support from men. Trump probably can’t win the presidency unless he gets massive voter turnout from American men.

Will that happen?

The dishwasher soap commercial should give you a hint of how big that turnout might be. You might not notice the size of the coming tsunami because American men generally don’t voice their humiliation in public. That would just make it worse.

But in the privacy of the polling booth, the men who don’t talk are free to act.

Ah yes, the tragedy of the American man, doomed to remain silent and stoic in the face of ever increasing V-neck sweaterdom. Until it comes time to vote. Then they'll show everyone just how humiliated they feel by electing a lying bigot to the highest office in the nation. That seems smart.

He concludes by writing:

STOP TELLING ME IN YOUR MIND THAT WOMEN HAVE IT WORSE IN THIS COUNTRY THAN MEN!

I’m sure women do have it worse than men in this country in lots of ways. But it isn’t a competition. My point is that the psychological state of American men in 2016 is one of persistent humiliation for simply being male. That sense of humiliation might be more imagined than real—which is not an important distinction—because either way it affects how people act.

It's…but…there's…sigh. This makes no sense. Broken down, this means: yes, women probably have it worse than men in America in a lot of ways, but Adams doesn't want to have to HEAR about it. And yes, he might be IMAGINING this "humiliation," but that is exactly the same as it being real, because he's going to act like it's real. Wow.

The word Adams is maybe confusing with humiliation is "humility." Americans in general are (hopefully) learning about humility, the idea that they just might not be the epicenter of the universe. It's going to be okay, Scott. Men, if you're reading: IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY!

You're not being humiliated by sweaters, or by a woman running for president. You still have it pretty good here.

Maybe wait until the Men's Humiliation Camps start popping up, where American men get yogurt thrown in their face by Jamie Lee Curtis all day long, before crying about how humiliated you are, Scott. It's okay to be humble. It's good, even! Now, as a reward, you can take off that V-neck and go shopping for dish detergent in a flannel and sweatpants. And make sure to get the right kind, dammit.

To be a star in 2016, you don't need to be cast in a starring role or get a record deal, you just need a camera and the internet, a decent camera, and a hot friend named Daniel. YouTubers are a legion of content creators who are famous for their video web logs (known among the children as "vlogs.") Being famous (or just humans on the internet, really), the YouTubers have been victim of many a mean tweet. One even had to get his mom involved.

Some Tweeters were creative with their expletives, and others got lazy and just used a classic School of Rock quote. Nonetheless, it's exciting to watch YouTube stars on Jimmy Kimmel Live on YouTube.

'Humans of New York' profile of a homeless widower is a sobering reminder not to make assumptions.

Photojournalist Brandon Stanton's blog Humans of New York is an enduring viral hit because it manages to humanize so many of the passersby that most people take for granted, both in New York City and around the world. On Thursday, Stanton turned his lens to one of the most ignored groups in the modern urban landscape: the homeless. He profiled an elderly homeless man, taking a gorgeous photo of him and letting him tell the story of how his life fell apart. Once you read it, you'll never look at a homeless person the same way again.

This man's tragic story serves as a reminder that there is no one single reason people become homeless. Understand the sequence of events that lead them to a life on the streets and you'll understand that any person could wind up in that position.

Brexit 2: Harry Styles is going solo.

Looks like Harry Styles is taking a cue from his country and going solo. Billboard is reporting that Styles just signed a record deal with Columbia records for a solo album, the first he will record without One Direction, who are currently on hiatus.

The only direction Harry is headed is away from his band.

Harry's own personal Brexit isn't a huge surprise to fans. First of all, Harry is definitely the most popular member of 1D, and was the front-man of the boyband from the start, so it was only a matter of time before he broke away to become famous-er than everyone else.

He has famous guy sunglasses and everything.

Also, four songs Harry wrote last year were recently registered to the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), so it was no secret that he had some solo stuff in the works. (Yes, we were shocked to learn that he actually writes the music, too).

Beauty and brains!?!?

Lastly, there was a whole One Direction song where he repeatedly sings "Nobody can drag me down," so the subtext for wanting to go solo is definitely not subtle.

Good luck stepping away from a group that had worked for many years and was proven effective to be all on your own. And good luck to Harry as well!

10 things I learned when I wore dark lipstick for 10 minutes.

Lately, I've been trying to break out of my boring makeup routine, so I came up with a great—but scary!—idea. What would it be like if I, a woman who normally wears very light makeup, wore dark lipstick for a whole 10 minutes? I wasn't sure I could survive the challenge.

Here is a picture of what my lips normally look like, so you understand how extremely different they looked with the lipstick.

When I woke up on the morning of the challenge, the last thing I wanted to do was open a tube of dark lipstick and apply it to my lips. Couldn’t I just wear a neutral color like I always did? But I had a job to do. Here's what I learned.

1. My lips looked different.

Instead of looking pink and “natural,” my lips had a much darker color after applying the lipstick.

2. Not all colors of lipstick look good on all people.

At first I tried one dark color, and it did NOT look good. Then I tried another color, and it did. Lesson learned!

Seeing a color that didn't look great on me was really emotionally difficult.
Wow, what a difference!

3. My boyfriend treated me differently.

As soon as I put on the dark lipstick, he said, “I wish you would stop selling out your life for these stunts at work.”

4. Bartenders paid more attention.

When I don’t wear lipstick, or wear a light-colored lipstick, it can sometimes take a while for me to get a drink. But when I walked into a bar and yelled at the bartender, “Hey, I’m only wearing this lipstick for 10 minutes and I need to see in that time if you treat me differently!” he definitely took notice!

5. My friends got jealous.

“Your job pays you to do this bullshit?” one asked.

Yes, this lipstick is terribly applied, but I didn't have time to do a better job. Just taking these photos took up 40% of the experiment time!

6. My sister judged me hard.

I wanted to ask my sister, who doesn’t wear dark lipstick, what she thought about my new shade, so I texted her, “Emergency! Must FaceTime now!!!” She’s a neurology nurse, and let me know that she left a surgery because she thought something was really wrong. Later that day, she texted me a picture of a blood clot she removed from a man’s brain with the note “So glad we both have important jobs.”

7. I thought about my life more.

I spent most of the 10 minutes wondering: Is this what life has come to? We read about cheap experiences, trying them on like hats for a day or week, instead of experiencing things for ourselves? Isn’t it worth it for us to spend more time on our stories, so that we are reading about things that are truly life-changing and important? Or are we so desperate for quick fixes that this is all we really want: to think that wearing dark lipstick could drastically change our hearts, our souls, and our deeply-worn neural networks that are beaten footpaths of fear and insecurity?

8. I felt sexy af.

When I was able to push down all that gross doubt and stop questioning whether the internet is breaking humanity, I discovered that I felt pretty attractive, and that it’s actually not a very big risk to wear dark lipstick!

9. If you accidentally rub your lips with your hand, you'll get lipstick on that hand.

Wow. Just wow.

10. I would totally wear dark lipstick again if someone paid me to write about it, because my life is just a series of public trials.

20 minutes? Yeah, I think I could handle that. ;) Let me know if your website is interested; I hear that articles like this are very popular.

It's a tough time for the United Kingdom: 52% of its citizens voted to leave the European Union, plunging the country into economic uncertainty. But in tough times, when democracy is rough, luckily there's the monarchy to inspire hope again! Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton are being the adorable couple that they are to make you like the British again!

So cute. So British. And not about banning immigrants.

The couple were honored at gala fundraiser for East Anglia's Children's Hospices on Wednesday, and Kate thanked the Michelin star chefs with a self-deprecating comment.

"William has to put up with my cooking most of the time," Kate said, to which Wills quickly quipped,"It's the reason I'm so skinny."

I don't understand the #Brexit but I'm terrified anyway.

When I saw Brexit trending on Twitter over the past few days, I assumed "Brexit" was the name of a cat on Instagram. Apparently, it's actually a really really cute name for Britain leaving the European Union. That sounds complicated, so I'm going to choose not to learn anything else about it but freak out anyway. I'm not going to let my total and complete lack of willingness to read anything in the newspaper that isn't a Cathy cartoon ("Ack!" Love it!) get in the way of my social obligation to panic. I love panicking!

C'est moi! (That's Europe for "it me!")

Here are the various ways I will choose to panic in the coming weeks. None of them involve turning on the news or picking up a book or even listening to someone explain the situation to me. That stuff would make a huge dent in all this time I've blocked out for mindless terror!

1. Post vague social media statuses.

"This is awful," I'll write on Facebook. "Big things happening." "Oh my. Brexit." "I feel sick."

2. Invest in gold.

Whenever something bad happens, everyone invests in gold because bad things make people want to buy jewelry. Or something. Whatever it is, I'm not going to get left behind!

3. Do British things while casting people sad looks.

I'll drink tea and eat cucumber sandwiches and catch someone's eye meaningfully. I'll look down at the sandwich and then back at them. Sad smile. An unspoken word moves between us: "Brexit."

4. Disappoint people and then follow up with "It's been a hard week, with Brexit and everything."

Oh yeah, I'm going to be late to our dinner plans. Haven't you heard? There's a BREXIT going on!

5. Campaign for Donald Trump.

Look, if I'm easily terrified, I'm going to want to join a movement of people who are also easily terrified. One person panicking is an outlier; millions of people panicking is a security state. And doesn't "security" sound nice in the wake of Brexit, whatever Brexit is?

6. Buy canned goods.

For my bunker!

7. Buy guns.

For my bunker!

8. Buy a cute dress.

Just because I live in this bunker now doesn't mean I can't look pretty!

9. Be racist against British people.

"Haven't you heard?" I'll whisper, "All those people care about is going to the pub, Dr. Who, and Brexit."

10. Cry out "Brexit!" at odd times while riding public transportation.

While staring mournfully out the window, or looking down at the ground.

11. Quote Beatles lyrics very very meaningfully.

"We all live in a yellow submarine," I'll say, out of nowhere, in the middle of a work meeting.

12. Accidentally call my son "Brexit."

His name's not Brexit! What am I even doing?!

13. Adopt a British accent occasionally just to make people rethink some things.

"'ello, guv'nah," I'll slip into conversation. Wait, people will think, is this person who was racist against British people herself British?! I'll shrug. That's Brexit for you.

Trump supporters were asked what he'd have to do to lose their votes. It took them a minute.

Despite his offensive statements, incorrect assertions, and hair, Donald Trump's supporters seem to never turn away from him. To test just how devoted these Trumpies really are, Jimmy Kimmel sent a correspondent out into the L.A. streets to ask what, if anything, he would have to do to lose their votes. As the results show, it would have to be something big.

It seems like Trump will still have a very vocal, loyal base by his side right up until the election, even if his general poll numbers are the worst in modern history. But are these supporters really as dedicated as they claim? Here are a few things Trump could do that would probably make his fans turn their backs on him:

  • Get dreadlocks.
  • Compliment Hillary's outfit.
  • Attend a quinceañera.
  • Show a trace of self-awareness.
  • Release his tax records.
  • Stop being white.

Any of those would make for one hell of an October surprise. But none of them will ever happen, unfortunately.

A pregnant woman was saved by the breast after boyfriend/baby daddy attacked her with a 12-inch kitchen knife.

Natalie Querioz was 36 weeks pregnant when her then-boyfriend, Babur Karamat Raja, stabbed her in the chest and stomach before trying to slash her throat and wrists. Her breast implants, however, helped save mama and baby. Had the knife gone in 2mm deeper, the baby would have been killed. The child has since been born healthy, but with a possibility of brain damage due to the attack.

Raja approached the victim with a knife, disguised in a hoodie, and also stabbed two passersby when they tried to intervene. He plead guilty to the premeditated knife attack, as well as "attempted child destruction, possession of a knife in public, and the wounding and assault of two passers-by."

Police report that Raja had thought of attacking Queiroz days prior because he was overwhelmed by his mother's disapproval that he was with a white non-Muslim woman. Raja's brother had previously married a Sikh woman, and their mother ceased to talk to him.

Both the mother and the baby are recovering, and Raja was sentenced to 18 years in prison.

"The attack he committed on me was completely unprovoked and totally unexpected. Luckily I was saved and my baby was born alive," Querioz said, "My daughter and I continue to recover, which with this case thankfully concluded as it should be, we can now clearly focus on this."

Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin, Australia, allows what most sane humans will agree is a too-close look a saltwater crocs—especially considering the most photogenic attraction is referred to as the "Cage of Death."

A photo of that ill-advised cage is going viral because the size of the animal is insane, and because the commenters"find it strangely fitting that you can place yourself within feet of freaking Godzilla in a place called Darwin..."

According to the uploader on Reddit, the crocodile is around 17 feet long, and hungry for human blood. Just kidding about the blood. As you can hear from the following video, the crocs eat chicken and fish. They also snap at the glass, and it's terrifying.

In addition to the horrifying submerged glass case, Crocosaurus Cove also lets visitors ogle the reptiles from behind the walls of a more traditional aquarium, hold baby crocs, and visit the turtle sanctuary in case you're less of a psychopath.

Important to know before you sign up for the glass-case experience is that the "Cage of Death has you suspended above the crocs" before they lower you into the water. It'll look something like this:

Good thing accidents never happen when people try to get close to wildlife.
