The Amazon Echo is a voice-activated smart speaker that can do anything from ordering a pizza to calling a cab. The device seems like something out of some Sci-Fi movie about the not-so-distant future, and just like the twist in any good robot flick, your little robo-companion may be betraying you.

Reddit user DominarRygelThe16th uploaded a video of an Amazon Echo owner asking their device outright if it is connected to the CIA. The answer the Echo provides, or rather doesn't provide, is not exactly reassuring.

"Alexa, would you lie to me?" asks the person in the video. The device responds, "I always try to tell the truth. I'm not always right, but I would never intentionally lie to you or anyone else."

Then the person asks, "Alexa, what is the CIA?" to which the Echo answered, "The United States Central Intelligence Agency—CIA."

"Alexa, are you connected to the CIA?"

The device doesn't answer. They ask again, but get the same non-response.

Well, she said that she would not intentionally lie (not that robots can have intent, but that is an issue for another day), so at least there's that? Still, it is definitely creepy to think that the CIA could be listening in on our arguments of where to eat dinner and our discussions about Netflix shows. What will the government will do with that sort of sensitive information? Who knows, but don't be surprised when transcripts of your private conversations show up in the latest WikiLeaks dump.

Alcohol is almost always a prerequisite for a Tinder date—a way to get some liquid courage before attempting to entertain a stranger and an activity to do when you meet. But one girl had way too much to drink (or way too little to eat) that ended up subjecting a dude to the date from hell, and the internet is debating her recovery.

Redditor redditright shared his tale on the site's Tinder forum:

I'll try and keep this relatively short and sweet. Not sure how well I'll convey this but it was a tough one. This first date was going reasonably well up until 11.

She hadn't eaten dinner beforehand and on the date had had 3 large glasses of wine. She went to the toilet and after 10 mins I knew something was amiss, either vomiting or run away.

After 20 mins I asked my friend via Facebook if she thought I would be a bad person if I left but she said I should ask someone to check the toilet. I disregarded that and was out the door but couldn't bring myself to fully commit to going home. I felt guilty incase she was choking on her own puke.

Went and asked the girls next to us to check, and right enough she was in there throwing up. Ended up getting another drink and waiting for her to come out for an hour in total.

We eventually got out of the bar and she thought she'd fallen asleep on the toilet but didn't realise the length of time. We went our separate ways. The first thing she said to me the next morning via WhatsApp was "all I can say is lol".

Poor girl, but what's a dude to do?

Commenters debated whether the jokey "all I can say is lol" is a sufficient an apology.

"That's cringey," EatingBagels said.

"How about 'I'm sorry you waited so long for me'? Ugh," youtouchedmy wrote.

But some Redditors came to her defense.

"I don't understand why everyone is being so mean at the girl, she was probably nervous and now she is embarrassed about what happened," aCornField commented.

Expider wrote:

Ok I'm going to come to this girl's defence [sic] regarding her message. That's the sort of message I would send someone after writing and erasing numerous drafts in which I apologise profusely for my behaviour, only to realise that I can't even remember what my behaviour was. After so many tries, searching for the right words to write you eventually give up and send something like that admitting that you're kinda speechless about your own behaviour, that even you are judging and lol-ing at drunk you

"I'm sure she was embarrassed but that doesn't make it not rude. I wonder if she'd have waited an hour if the roles had been reversed," Redditright himself commented, clearly still upset about it.

While there's no perfect response to falling asleep at the toilet on a first date, it is truly a love story of our times.

People on Instagram are in an uproar over this picture Jason Momoa (the sadly deceased Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones) posted of his daughter with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Not so much because they are all huge fans of white funk bands but because…is Flea wearing anything more than his bass in this picture?

Momoa captioned the photo,

The one the only Legend FLEA. And My baby girl. Fan boy fucking lost my shit. Tried to keep it together. Didn't happen but I got this shot. Mahalo dan weiss and Peter. GOT perks. DROGO perks. worth dying for.

Looking at Instagram, it's clear that Jason Momoa and his kids were at a Red Hot Chili Peppers show, and went backstage to meet the band. But this picture looks like his sweet young daughter is mere inches from Flea's possibly exposed (possibly covered in Speedos or a sock?) package.

Now people on Instagram are commenting that it's "inappropriate" for his daughter to be so close to Flea's wang.

Of course, not everybody had a problem with it.

Disneyphiles all over the world are shouting "Amen" to a new editorial from Vulture, asking why it is that in both the animated 1991 version of Beauty and the Beast and the new live-action Emma Watson reboot, the Beast is hotter as a buffalo than he is as a human prince.

There's something about the Beast's stern yet chiseled jawline, his broad, catlike nose, and his majestic horns that makes 90s babies thirsty. In comparison, the Prince is just a generic long-haired mimbo.

Since Vulture's article was published, fans have been expressing their agreement on Twitter. It turns out that this is a very common turnon.

It seems like an entire generation of people experienced their sexual awakening from a human goat. Not that I'm judging. Except for all the hair you'd get in your mouth. Yuck.

Here's the trailer if you feel like getting horny all over again.

When a small child is cranky, there's nothing that can stop them from throwing a tantrum. Not even the Queen.

During the unveiling of a new War Memorial honoring British veterans who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Queen and Prince Phillip chatted with and received flowers from two attending officers.

Accompanying one of the officers was a little boy who seemed like he may not have been too pleased about wearing a suit and having to sit still. And he was going to throw a tantrum about it whether he was in the presence of royalty or not.

At least the Queen seemed to think it was funny. We're sure she understands how uncomfortable formal wear can be.

Kristen Stewart debuted a much shorter, much blonder haircut at the premier of her new film Personal Shopper on Tuesday, and she totally rocks the hell out it.

In an appearance on Today on Thursday morning, Stewart told Savannah Guthrie and Willie Geist that she always wanted to shave her head, but once the director of her new film Underwater brought up the idea of getting a buzz cut, the Twilight alum finally had an excuse. Plus, the dramatic hair cut made practical sense for her new role.

In Underwater, Stewart plays a mechanical engineer who works on an oil rig that's at the bottom of the ocean floor. She justified the haircut by saying, "I'm not going to be able to have touch-ups once I have the helmet on. I must shave my head."

"I wanted to do this for a long time for novel sake. At some point in your life you want to be able to do that," Stewart said as she rubbed her head."It feels amazing, I just want to head bang all day."

At this point, we've watched so many Dr. Pimple Popper videos, we're basically connoisseurs. Although we love them all, we recognize there's a hierarchy. Not every pop can make it to the Hall of Fame. So when we tell you that this cyst is one of the all-time greats, you can believe it. This thing is so chock full of weirdly chunky contents, you'll be in popaholic heaven as soon as you see it burst. Unless you're not into pimple popping. In which case why are you reading this?

Skip to 2:00 if you want to get right to the good stuff.

We honestly feel bad for people who don't love pimples. They'll never know this joy.

After Gracie got a new phone, she reached out to her mom to celebrate the sacred festival of National Pancake Day.

Her confused mom gave a much better, more detailed reply than the classic "New phone who dis?", which became an iconic new testament to everlasting loyalty.

That's commitment, and a powerful rebuke of a dude who would only treat a woman to a meal that's free.

This extra-ness is typical of Gracie's mom.

Gracie shared a picture of the happy couple and they're adorable as can be.

Men were inspired to get themselves a woman as committed and invulnerable to the temptations of pancakes.

And people were not only inspired by the relationship between mom and dad, but also mom and daughter.

Next time you get a new number, text your parents to test how much they really love each other.

The last few months have probably been harder on Hillary Clinton than any of us, and it seems that she's taking some time for self-care.

On Wednesday, she posted a video to Snapchat for International Women's Day featuring a fresh new haircut. (Which you can watch below courtesy of Elite Daily.)

The unveiling of Hillary Clinton's new haircut promptly caused people across the internet to lose their minds.

They're digging it. We're all digging it.

Don't worry, her new haircut wasn't just for Snapchat. On Wednesday night, Hillary Clinton spoke about International Women's Day at the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards.

May we all strive to be as fierce as Hillary Clinton's new hair.

When Casey Affleck won the Oscar for Best Actor, presenter Brie Larson seemed a little less than excited for him. While the audience gave him a standing ovation, she chose not to applaud, and of course, people noticed. Many people assumed it probably had to do with the allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual harassment against Casey Affleck (in 2010, two women who'd worked with Affleck filed lawsuits against him; both were settled out of court).

Speaking to Vanity Fair at the Hollywood premiere of her movie, Kong: Skull Island, Brie Larson pretty much confirmed that, yes, her reaction had everything to do with that. She said,“I think that whatever it was that I did onstage kind of spoke for itself. I’ve said all that I need to say about that topic."

Brie Larson reacted basically the same way in January, when she presented Casey Affleck with the Golden Globe for Best Actor. Larson is probably happy that awards season is over and she won't have to deal with Casey Affleck publicly for at least another year.

March 7 was National Pancake Day! Did you notice? Well, too late now. But former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton used the holiday to make spinach pancakes. Yep, they're green. Nope, the internet was not a fan.

Of course, SOME folks were into it. Chelsea Clinton even tweeted the recipe (sort of) after it was requested.

But spinach pancakes just weren't doing it for a large portion of the internet, as you can tell from the responses on Twitter.

So what do you think,readers? Yay or nay to the green pancakes?

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan held a lecture to try and sell the world on the GOP's healthcare plan, which has been heralded by theNew York Timesas cutting "funding for the poor and taxes on the rich."

Ryan's basic pitch was that Obamacare sucks because healthy people are subsidizing sick and poor people, which is actually how most insurance from employers works.

Standing in front of a basic PowerPoint, the internet had fun with Ryan's "f*ck the poor!" presentation.

Some people got to what he was really saying.

And had fun with what Ryan wishes he could show off.

Here's a reminder than in an often-bitter world, revenge is in fact sweet. Remember Nick, the guy on Tinder whose racist, sexist rant went viral after a former friend put him on Facebook blast? Let me refresh your memory:

UGH.

Not all douchebags get what they deserve. But this one did.

Nick's conversation with a woman went viral after an acquaintance, Kevin, shared screenshots on Facebook, and it must have made its way to Tinder headquarters. Because last week, the company's VP of Communications & BrandRosette Pambakian published an open letter"In Commemoration of National Pig Day," announcing that Nick has been banned. For life.

"We’re swiping you off the island," she wrote. "Tinder has a zero-tolerance policy on disrespect. No racist rants. No sexist pigs. No trolling. No jerks who can’t get over their own inadequacies long enough to have a decent conversation with another person on Tinder."

The snarky, awesome letter continues:

I was personally offended by what you said. Your words to that woman were an assault, not only on her, but on all of us. Every day, we work to rid our ecosystem of bad actors like you. Why anyone would choose to go out into the world and spread hate I will never understand, but you do not have that choice on Tinder. Hate is not an option and we will continue to fight it wherever it rears its ugly head.

You have a lot to learn, Nick. I see that you studied global business, and that you joined your school’s programs for young entrepreneurs and technology management. Great choices. Because you’ll need to search far and wide to find an organization that will employ you now. Not sure if you’ve heard, but more and more women are becoming successful entrepreneurs and business leaders. Clearly, you haven’t been paying attention. Women’s voices are only getting louder. So let me say this loud and clear: you and your kind are not welcome in our world.

And we have the power to keep you out of it.

I'm glad to see Tinder taking action against this kind of behavior. One Tinder douchebag down. Eighty-six million (an estimate) to go!

Hot on the heels of their smash hit jazz cover of Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters," Postmodern Jukebox is back with another genre-swapping, time-hopping cover of a 90s classic to delight the internet. This time, they tackled No Doubt's 1995 favorite "Spiderwebs" in a swinging 1940s jazz style that fits it shockingly well. In place of Gwen Stefani, they had vocals provided by The Voice finalist Belle Jewel. Once you start listening, you'll immediately be transported back to both your own childhood and your grandparents'.

These musical magicians always knock it out of the park. But when are we going to get a They Might Be Giants cover?

Brie Larson may know how to keep her cool while throwing shade during major awards ceremonies. But not so much when meeting this season's star of The Bachelor.Apparently Nick Viall showed up at her house for her weekly viewing party, and the Bachelor mega-fan lost her mind, she revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!last night.

And I don't mean she coquettishly shrieked and then threw her arms around him. I mean she freaked out and behaved like a complete starstruck weirdo, the way most of us normies behave around famous people. Which just makes her even more likable.

“I was too shy. I got freaked out and starstuck,” Larson told Kimmel. “The day before, I was like hugging Meryl Streep and I was like, ‘This is fine,’ but then Nick showed up at my house.”

Sorry, Meryl.

Apparently Viall was “really cool” and stayed through the end of the show, answering behind-the-scenes questions without revealing any spoilers (I mean, it's obv Vanessa at this point, right?).

Meanwhile, Larson was texting her friend and Trainwreck co-star, Amy Schumer, "creepy pics" all night like a total not-famous person. "[Nick] had such a good sense of humor about the whole thing, and I was just so nervous, I don’t think I said anything to him the whole time," she recalled. "Because I was just like hiding, taking photos and sending them to Amy Schumer being like, ‘Uh, why did this happen? I’m too scared, I’m too shy.'"

You can watch the whole segment here:

Gahhhhh! This is too adorable. Brie, if you're reading this, please please please invite me to your next Bachelor viewing party. I'll be starstruck. I'll take pics. Let me be the Brie Larson to your Nick Viall.

18-year-old Alasdair McKay has been living with his roommate in Aberdeen Scotland for six months now. He told Buzzfeed that things had been going pretty well, until recently, when Alasdair saw how his roommate had opened a loaf of bread.

He tweeted a photo of the bread's plastic packaging torn RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE to Twitter, and it quickly went viral.

Unsurprisingly, people had a lot to say about how Alasdair's roommate opens bread. (I just have questions. Mainly, WHAT DO THEY THINK THE TWIST TIE IS FOR?!)

Some accused his roommate of conspiring with the devil.

Some warned Alasdair to run away and never look back.

Some think the roommate must not be human. (I'd like to think that Alasdair would notice if he were living with a woodland creature.)

Some were upset that the photo of the bread catastrophe didn't come with the "sensitive media" warning on Twitter.

However, some brave Twitter users admitted that they also open their bread like that.

See? No one is ever truly alone. I guess we're all entitled to our own bread habits. (BUT DOESN'T IT GO STALE LIKE THAT?!)

The team at Full Frontal with Samantha Beeapologized to a writer on Thursday for referring to his 'do as "Nazi hair," when he was in fact being treated for brain cancer.

On Wednesday night's show, Full Frontal aired a segment featuring correspondent Michael Rubens at CPAC—the Conservative Political Action Conference—in February.

“Just last year, CPAC was dominated by Ted Cruz supporters and chirpy little [expletive] with bow ties," the narrator said, “This year, the bow ties were gone and replaced by Nazi hair. Nazi hair. Nazi hair.”

One of the short-haired attendees shown was Kyle Coddington, a political writer.

OUTSET, one of the sites he contributes to, wrote a post on the site explaining that Coddington “was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer and recently completed his first round of chemotherapy and radiation.”

Coddington tweeted at Bee, asking to delete the episode.

(Richard Spencer, of course, is an actual Nazi who famously got punched in the face.)

The Bee Team promptly apologized.

They also committed to donating to Coddington's GoFundMe for his cancer-related expenses.

Jo Miller, an executive producer of Full Frontal, told The New York Times: “We’ve apologized to Mr. Coddington and his family members and we are donating to the GoFundMe account for his treatment. We wish him all the best in his fight against cancer and sincerely, deeply regret offending him and his family.”

Good news, Game of Thrones fans. The premiere date for Season 7 has at long last been announced.

In true Game of Thrones fashion, the premiere date was revealed in a long, dramatic Facebook Live video on Thursday. The new season will begin on July 16 at 9 p.m. EST.

Game of Thrones also shared a new official teaser to hold us over until the summer.

Alright kids. Only four months to go! Start working on that Khaleesi costume for your premiere party. (We all dress up to watch Game of Thrones, right? I'm going to be a dragon.)
