While Donald Trump has people concerned for the country of Sweden, the innocent people who did not suffer a non-existent terrorist attack are getting on just fine—and might even be getting it on in the middle of the day.

A small town councilman in Övertorneå, a 2,000-person community in Northern Sweden, is thinking big. Swedish newspaper theLocal reports that Councilman Erik Muskos has found the key to the work-life balance: midday sex breaks to help improve both.

He proposed this week that all workers in the country have a paid, one-hour break to go home and have sex.

"It's about having better relationships," told the AFP, as reported by Vice. "There are studies that show sex is healthy."

Muskos is just one dude in one small town, so it's not like sex breaks are going to become a national policy just yet. But anything is possible in the Scandanavian utopia.

He said, "You can't guarantee that a worker doesn't go out for a walk instead," but also added that he "saw no reason" the motion couldn't pass.

A state-sponsored afternoon delight could be the key to workplace synergy.

As the wise Starland Vocal Band once said, "Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night, when everything's a little clearer in the light of day and we know the night is always gonna be there any way?"

An Anchorman-informed policy is a good policy.

A college student hoping for some sweet, sweet action learned a tough but fair lesson about why you should always double-check who you are texting before you click "send."

The text exchange, which the recipient posted on Reddit, all started normally enough. The recipient, known as "Tired Girl" on Twitter, received a simple "u up?"-type message from a lover or friend, in which he addresses her as "Marecat" (maybe he meant to call her his "meerkat"? Her twitter handle is "@killermarecat" so this remains unclear ).

Here's a screenshot:

She responded "eating chips" and "crine" (crying) (sounds like a perfect night to me!). The guy quickly planned his next move. "Can I come over?" he asked. "I'll bring u chocolate."

Tired Girl responded with an affirmative, giving him the green light to at LEAST "eat chocolate and chill" with her.

Only problem? Her wannabe-paramour got way too excited at the prospect of potential sex. So excited that he accidentally sent the girl a text intended for his friend, "Bro." Things quickly went downhill after that:

Woah, this was not a smooth move at all.

Tired Girl also posted the convo on Twitter, where it has since been RT'd nearly 20 thousand times.

I kind of feel bad for this man tbh. Even though it might seem like he deserved what was coming (or not coming) to him, this kind of thing could happen to anyone.

For example I once accidentally texted "I'd rather die than go to Maggie's party" to my friend Maggie who had just invited me to her party. I've been balls deep in shame ever since.

Redditor Grasswalker thought he had it made when his first Tinder match ever was an incredibly attractive young woman. Not only that, she also "superliked" him (a feature Tinder uses to distinguish regular thirst from SUPER THIRST). But he soon realized that this situation was, indeed, too good to be true. While she did want to hook up with him, she only wanted to do it on her terms. And her terms were quite intense.

Grasswalker's post ends with that screenshot. It's not clear if he kept the conversation going, or if he ever took her up on her offer. But as the ever-logical people of Reddit pointed out, he would have been wise to say no. Her request wasn't just terrifying, it was also implicitly insulting.

On Tinder, sometimes you have to take what you can get.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are the subjects of a new internet conspiracy involving sandal design. (What other kind of conspiracy would they be involved in?)

On Tuesday, Kendall Jenner announced that these new Kendall + Kylie sandals are now available at Nordstrom.

"Hooray!" cried the internet. (Or at least those on the internet who can spend $125 for sandals.)

But one particularly observant Twitter user was not crying, "Hooray!" They quickly pointed out that Kendall and Kylie Jenner's new sandals looks eerily similar to Chanel's Nylon Chain Slides.

Could our beloved Jenner sisters have copied the design of Chanel's sandals?

Here's a close-up of the Chanel sandals:

And a close-up of the Kendall + Kylie sandals:

Admittedly, they're pretty similar. But we can't say for sure whether Kylie and Kendall Jenner really stole the design or whether it's all a big coincidence.

Chanel, Kendall Jenner, and Kylie Jenner have not commented on the similarities yet, so it's probably not a huge deal.

That being said, I know how the internet loves a good conspiracy theory. So maybe the Jenner sisters did steal their sandal designs! Maybe the government is poisoning our cheese! Maybe Nicholas Cage was right and there actually is a treasure map on the back of the Declaration of Independence!

There. That should hold you over until the next internet conspiracy, right?

Sculptor Chuck Williams, your new internet hero, has created the disturbingly realistic Trump troll doll America needs right now. The 4.75 inch tall vinyl doll looks exactly what our President would look like if he was a troll doll from the '80s—and tbh it's not that different from how he looks now. Except that the doll is fully naked.

WARNING: the following image is NSFW and may take you on an emotional roller coaster ride of joy and revulsion.

Williams, who used to work as a sculptor for Walt Disney Co. in the ’90s, hopes the doll will soon become a household toy. "I am looking to fund the manufacturing of a large number of factory made vinyl Trump Troll dolls," he wrote on Kickstarter. "The sculpture seems to have struck a very popular chord with my family and friends on Facebook."

Thanks to the doll's immense popularity, the Kickstarter page has already raised more than quadruple its goal of $38,000, raking in more than $173,000 with 20 days left. “This figure is near and dear to me and thankfully it seems to have brought a smile to all sides of the political spectrum,” Williams posted in an update. “The response has taken me a little by surprise!! I am very grateful to have made so many people happy with this sculpture.”

You can even pre-order your own Trump troll from the Kickstarter page for $25. That might seem like a lot to spend on a doll that gives you mild nausea just to look at. But, the inevitable look of rage on the President's face when this doll becomes as popular as regular trolls were in the '80s and '90s??

Priceless.

Are you the kind of guy who would rather Netflix and chill than walk up a hill? Does your definition of crunching relate to the sound you making when biting into a delicious chip of choice instead of the ab exercise? When you say the word "sneakers" is that actually just you pronouncing the candy bar "Snickers" in a bizarre accent? Should I stop with these annoying rhetorical questions and get to the freaking point? What about one more? Great. Then this blog is for you, my friend. A new study which was published in March's Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise has found a new connection between male libido and amount of time dedicated to exercise, and let's just say you can keep up that chillin' and grillin' lifestyle if you enjoy frequent trips to Bone Town, USA—if you know what I mean.

The study, which was conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, took a new approach to studying the relationship between sex drive and exercise, The New York Timesreports. In the past, researchers have looked at hormone levels, particularly testosterone, as the sole indicator of an increase in sex drive, but in this study, anecdotal information was gathered from more than 1,000 participants on their exercise and sex habits.

Men were asked to describe their exercise habits, giving information on the rigor of their workouts as well as the duration, and were also asked to answer questions about their sex lives and libido. Then, the researchers compared their answers. Here's what they found: "The men whose exercise routines were moderate or light in intensity or duration were far more likely to report moderate or high libidos than were the men whose workouts were especially prolonged or intense, even after the researchers controlled for age," The New York Times reports.

Anthony Hackney, a professor of exercise physiology and nutrition at the University of North Carolina who led the study, also noted that participants who claimed to practice moderate and light physical activity were associated in this study with relatively high libidos. And when it came to those who said they participated in strenuous activity, it “was associated with lower libido." The study couldn't really conclude whether or not exercise causes lower libido, just that the two were linked. But if you ask me, I think God is punishing people who have finally achieved perfect bodies with the curse of not wanting to get naked.

ICYMI, NASA casually discovered seven new earth-size planets today. They're out there orbiting a dwarf star named Trappist-1 that's 40 light-years away, just hanging out. The New York Times reports that "the orientation of the orbits of the seven planets allows them to be studied in great detail," which led them to identifying that "one or more of the exoplanets in this new system could be at the right temperature to be awash in oceans of water." WHICH MEANS PROBABLY THERE ARE ALIENS.

"Are we alone out there? We’re making a step forward with this — a leap forward, in fact — towards answering that question," said astrophysicist Thomas Zurbuchen at the NASA conference on Wednesday. And while astrophysicists were making giant leaps towards discovering life forms, we were spending our days honing our Twitter skills for this moment. Yes, I have some hot planet takes for you, people. Only the very best for my fellow earthlings, before we all decide to leave this planet behind forever. Here you go:

If you haven't heard Katy Perry's new single "Chained to the Rhythm" yet, get thy headphones in thine ears and enjoy a jam that is both catch and socially engaged. Unlike most of KP's past hits which are bubblegum pop but about things like being from California, or getting too drunk on Friday night, or feeling like a plastic bag, this song is deep, man. It's about how we are all so focused on the minutiae of maintaining our lives and thinking we're free that we fail to see how we are all trapped in a system controlled by greedy monsters. Intense, right? KP had already made clear at the Grammys that the song is a big FU to the current administration, and Wednesday night she made that even clearer with her Brit Awards performance.

The performance, which included a stage full of actors dressed as little white houses (perhaps a nod to Malvina Reynolds "Little Boxes," a song from the 1960's with a similar message), also featured two giant skeletons. And even though we didn't have faces or hair to work off of, it was clear that they bore a shocking resemblance to Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May.

Down to the belt! I mean, there's nobody else that could be. It's heartening to see that popular stars who might not typically dip their toes into sociopolitical waters are using their platforms to send a message of dissent. And it doesn't hurt that the song is a total banger. The performance also included a highly meme-able moment when one of the little houses fell of the stage:

Takes you right back to the days of left shark, right? You can watch the fiery, political performance in its entirety here:

One of Katy Perry's dancers took a tumble off stage at the Brit Awards during her performance of her new song 'Chained to the Rhythm' last night. The dancer, whose vision was likely obstructed by their giant house costume, ended up falling into the unsuspecting crowd.

Katy Perry's politically-charged performance featured two giant skeleton puppets who were said to be effigies of Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Theresa May. Perry was one of Hillary Clinton's most vocal celebrity supporters during the 2016 election.

But hey, is there any better symbolism than a white house tumbling off stage during a song about politics? The moment was not planned, but the accident definitely played directly into the theme of the performance.

We can only hope that "Falling House" will have its 15 minutes of fame like "Left Shark" did.

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump officially rescinded federal protections for transgender students to use bathrooms corresponding to the gender with which they identify. According to USA Today, the Human Rights Campaign, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the National Center for Transgender Equality all say there has never once been a reported incident of a transgender person attacking or even harassing a person in the bathroom, but apparently Donald Trump sees protections for trans folks as the real enemy. Celebrities immediately took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Trump's seriously anti-LGBTQ decision.

Comedian Steve Hofstetter recently took a flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo and encountered what everyone encounters at the airport: an inconsiderate, unaware, unsociable, irredeemable member of society. This one had a dog.

You might recognize the name Steve Hofstetter from his starring role in a once-ubiquitous internet headline: "Comedian destroys heckler."

The "comedian" in those headlines is Steve Hofstetter. Every time, it's Steve Hofstetter. So when a woman tries to heckle Hofstetter's LIFE by not cleaning up her dog's poop, he does what he's been programmed by hundreds of thousands of clicks to do—he destroys her.

Here's how he starts his story:

While walking to my gate at LAX, I noticed a woman whose dog was in the middle of doing its business. The woman was loudly face-timing with her back to the dog, so I assumed she didn’t notice. That was likely the thought shared by the gentleman who tried to get her attention.

“Excuse me, miss?” he said, in a polite tone. The woman glared at him. “Your dog,” he sheepishly continued, pointing to the mid-poop pup.

The woman rolled her eyes and went back to face time as the man slinked away, seemingly embarrassed.

“Some people,” she bellowed to her face-time companion with no hint of irony, “are just so damned rude.”

When her dog finished, the woman started walking away, leaving everything right on the airport floor. Another woman tried to stop her.

“You’re not going to clean that up?” she asked, as shocked as the rest of us were.

“They have people for that,” the offender replied, disappearing into the crowd, as much as someone yelling into their phone can disappear into a crowd.

I stood near the pile and warned people to walk around it while someone else got a maintenance worker’s attention. No one said anything – we were so shocked that anyone could be that horrible.

Now's the point in Hofstetter's story where he talks about how it's totally cool if people fly with their dogs, he does it himself, he's not a hater, etc. But there's a place in LAX for dogs to do their business. The woman didn't use it. She was, in fact, horrible about the whole thing. So the clapback king of comedy took aim and fired.

While her dog barked at the world, the woman had moved from face-timing with no headphones to listening to music with no headphones. I don’t like to throw around the word “sociopath” but I don’t know how else I could explain just how selfish and terrible of a person she was. I’d bet her car was somewhere in long-term parking, parked across three spots with paint on the bumper from the child's bike she hit without leaving a note.

Everyone else tried to ignore her, sitting as far away from her as they could. I am not everyone else.

I sat down right next to the horrible woman. “Are you going to London on business?” I said.

“I’m going to Tokyo,” she responded gruffly, annoyed that I interrupted her DJing.

“Oh, I said. Then you better hurry. That flight got moved to gate 53C. This is the flight to London.”

I figured I could give her a little moment of panic as payback for how terribly she was treating everyone. I didn’t predict what would happen next. She grabbed her bags and her dog in a huff, and stormed out of the gate without even checking. She was so self-involved, she didn’t notice that the monitor at our gate still said Tokyo and almost everyone at the gate was Japanese.

Based on her actions, she believed me that the fight had been moved, so she’s also an asshole for not thanking me. “Some people,” I thought as I watched her rush away from the gate without stopping her, “are just so damned rude.”

The flight to Tokyo was at gate 69A, so the 53 gates were on the other side of the next terminal. And I felt guilty knowing she probably berated some poor clerk who had to explain to her that there was no gate 53C.

I don’t know if she made it back to this flight before we took off or not, but I didn’t see her board and I don’t hear her dog. Her missing her flight was not my original intention, but it would be a fine punishment for her being so rude to everyone and making a low-paid stranger clean feces off the floor. What makes me wonder if I went too far is the knowledge that Delta only has one flight to Tokyo each day. Whoops.

Maybe she can re-book on another airline. I hear they have people for that.

Do you kind of feel bad for her? As the story went viral on Imgur, the commenters almost exclusively praised Hofstetter for his swift evil. Although some, naturally, asked whether the comedian had made the whole thing up. He reportedly shared his ticket as proof he went to Japan, with a clapback finger for any doubters:

We'll have to wait and see if a furious dog owner takes to Facebook to share her own side of the story for definitive proof. Until then, always clean up your dog's poop in the airport.

Disney fans are getting very excited about the release of the live action version of Beauty and the Beast. There's a newly released clip of the movie (which is scheduled to be released on March 17) making the rounds on the internet, and some people are spotting what could be a super subtle Harry Potter reference in it.

Emma Watson, who plays Belle, the "Beauty" in Beauty and the Beast, was also one of the stars of the Harry Potter series (she played Hermione). So it naturally seemed like a bit more than coincidence when, at around the :26 mark in the clip, one character says to Belle the exact same thing that a Harry Potter character, Neville Longbottom, once said to Hermione.

Oh hello there, you've taken a break from your desk job or daily chores or whatever else you're doing to watch a painfully adorable panda. That's great! Now be jealous of this man's job. He's become so accustomed to panda adoration that it's actually an inconvenience to him.

Posted by iPanda, a 24/7 panda channel streaming live from the Chengdu research facility, the video has gone bonkers viral with some 82 million views in the 30 hours since they posted it.

The comments were jealousy incarnate.

Now go finish your non-panda-cuddling job. It's okay, you can watch the video as many times as you need to. Well, you probably can't, but you will anyway.

College student Elise is learning about sex research in class, and her professor sent a message out to a certain often-discussed population in the class to get them thinking about their lives and their choices: heterosexuals.

Flipping the script on homophobia, Elise called on the heterosexuals in the class to look deep within themselves and think

• What do you think caused your heterosexuality?
• When did you decide that you were a heterosexual?
• Is it possible that heterosexuality is just a phase that you may grow out of?
• Why do you insist on flaunting your heterosexuality? Why can't you just be what you are and keep quiet about it?
• Why do you heterosexuals feel compelled to seduce others into your lifestyle?
• Have you considered therapy to change your heterosexual tendencies?

Many bigots, contrary to the lyrics of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," ask gay people these questions to try and shame them when, um, it's not how sexuality works.

Some tweeters don't get what the professor is going for, so Elise explicitly explained in the nicest possible terms.

The tweet went super viral, and people want to enroll in the class, too.

Now that's a good, practical education.

This is Imoh Umoren II and his father, indie filmmaker Imoh Umoren.

The 2-year-old and his dad live in Lagos, Nigeria. According to The Huffington Post, the smaller Imoh Umoren just started attending school and entered in the school-wide sporting events that were being held all week.

Umoren told The Huffington Post that his son practiced for his first running race all week on their front lawn, but when it came time for the competition, he lost for the most adorable reason.

My son finished 4th in the race because instead of running across the finish line he ran to hug me. Ah well won my heart

"I think part of it may be that he always ran into my arms while we were doing our little training at home," said Umoren "But he’s a bit of a hugger, and maybe to him, that is a natural ending to a race: run into daddy’s arms."

Later in the day Imoh did get the chance to redeem himself. He ended up placing third in the second event.

"I’m just really lucky to have him," Umoren told HuffPost, adding, "He’s a pretty smart kid for his age and can sense when you’re having a bad day and literally come and kiss you and offer you water. I’m trying to raise him to be a good man because in a crumbling world we need some sunlight."

The Trump administration made the decision on Wednesday to revoke federal protections for transgender students put in place during the Obama era. The New York Times reports that the federal protections rescinded by the new administration allowed trans students in public schools to use whichever bathroom corresponds with their gender identities.

Many celebrities have since spoken out against the decision, including singer Jackie Evancho, who performed the National Anthem at Trump's inauguration.

She took to Twitter to express her disappointment with the president Wednesday night.

Transgender rights are important to 16-year-old Evancho, who has a transgender older sister named Juliet. In a follow-up tweet, Jackie Evancho asked the president to meet with her and her sister to discuss transgender rights.

Jackie and Juliet Evancho also appeared on Good Morning America Thursday to discuss their hopes to "enlighten" the president on transgender issues. You can watch their full interview below.
