See the moment Melania Trump reminded Donald how he's supposed to act during the national anthem.

Donald Trump may be President of the United States but that doesn't mean he knows the proper way to stand during the singing of our national anthem. Luckily for him, his wife Melania was right by his side, ready to remind him that your hand goes over your heart.

Maybe Donald and Melania Trump have practiced this in the past, and he just needed a quick refresher. One can imagine their conversation during the trial run: "Okay, honey, your hand goes over your heart. No, not my heart, YOUR heart. Nope, other side. Good, there you go! Now just remember to keep it there during the whole song…don't let it wander off, God only knows where it'll end up."

As usual, Twitter had a bit of fun with Trump's national anthem confusion.

To be fair, it probably IS pretty hard for Donald Trump to find his heart.

Watching a Furby get crushed in a hydraulic press will fill you with nostalgic horror.

The Hydraulic Press Channel is a staple of YouTube. In this dangerously addictive series, Finnish factory owner Lauri Vuohensilta takes ordinary objects and totally annihilates them in an industrial press. Some of his classic test subjects include a bowling ball, a giant gummy bear, a can of silly string, and perhaps best of all, paper. (It totally exploded.) But the latest entry may be the cruelest of all: a Furby.

Remember Furbies, 90s babies? I bet you never saw one get crushed into nothingness. It's a hilarious reminder of the fact that your childhood is dead and will never return. And stay tuned to the end to see some LEGOs get the same treatment!

That was truly amazing to watch, but my favorite part may be how Vuohensilta pronounces "Furby." I could listen to that all day.

Geraldo Rivera and John Oliver are having the mother of all feuds about bombs.

The US military dropped the "mother of all bombs" on Afghanistan last week, and now HBO Last Week Tonight host John Oliver and professional mustache Geraldo Rivera are having the mother of all feuds about it.

ICYMI: the US dropped an 18,700 pound bomb nicknamed the "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB) on an ISIS cave complex in the Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan, which is reported to have killed at least 94 ISIS militants, according to Afghan Army officials.

The two sides of the political spectrum have, of course, responded somewhat differently to the news. On last night's Last Week Tonight, John Oliver played a Fox & Friends segment that gleefully "celebrated" the occasion with a music video of Toby Keith singing "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" over footage of the attack. At the end of the segment, Geraldo Rivera said: "One of my favorite things in 16 years at Fox News is watching bombs drop on bad guys."

You can watch the segment here:

On his own show, John Oliver then offered this razor-sharp response:

That’s a coincidence because one of my favorite things in four seasons on this show is getting to look into the camera and say "fuck you Geraldo, I hope your mustache gets caught in a box fan."

You can watch here:

Rivera responded to the burn on Twitter this morning, by mansplaining the situation in Syria to John Oliver:

The Last Week Tonight host has yet to respond. But hopefully he will. Because one of my favorite things in 16 years of Fox News is watching smart, funny people eviscerate them.

Thanks for inviting me to lunch but I'm going to binge alone on leftover Easter candy.

Guy finds someone's iPhone inside his car dashboard, embarks on gripping quest to find the owner.

Oh, man, guys. This one's a doozy. Part mystery, part love story, part "Crap, where's my phone?"

According to The Huffington Post, a man named Alex Tom's Subaru Forrester was part of an airbag recall, so he brought it into a repair shop to get it fixed. While the mechanic was replacing the faulty airbag, he found an old iPhone 4s in the dashboard's airbag compartment.

It wasn't Tom's phone, so naturally, he consulted his Facebook network to help him solve this mystery.

Have you (a) ridden in my car and (b) mysteriously lost an iPhone in the last 5 or so years? Got my passenger airbag...

Posted by Alex Tom on Monday, April 10, 2017

The phone was dead when the mechanic found it, but Tom charged it and turned it on to see if he could find out who it belonged to. He found a blurry background photo on the phone's home screen.

To add further mystery, the iPhone found in Tom's Subaru appeared to be stuck in airplane mode, and was displaying that the date was Saturday, January 3 (even though it is currently April.)

Tom did some sleuthing and found that the last year that January 3 fell on a Saturday was 2015. He also noticed that the phone had an AT&T sim card.

That's when Tom's Facebook friend, Bobby, had an idea. Why not try plugging the iPhone into a computer?

Tom decided to take Bobby's suggestion. When he plugged the phone into the computer, he discovered that it was named "Sully's iPhone." The only problem was Tom couldn't remember anyone named Sully who would've been in his car.

It may seem that Tom had hit a dead end. Until, that is, he discovered a way to access the phone's notifications. He found a weather notification for wherever the phone was on that Saturday in January (75 degrees with a high of 91), and most interestingly, a notification from the dating app Coffee Meets Bagel.

A mysterious woman named Bonnie and the possibility for romance was all it took for the growing mass of people following Tom's post to spring into action.

The Huffington Post reports that one group of people cross-referenced locations that had a high of 91 degrees on January 3, 2015, and another group posted an ad to Craigslist missed connections in the areas the first group found, hoping to find Bonnie. (It is truly inspiring how dedicated these people are to finding the phone's owner.)

To everyone's complete surprise, the ad worked. Alex Tom's friend Logan Roberts received an email from Coffee Meets Bagel's customer support saying they knew who the message belonged to, and copied him on an email with the mysterious Sully himself.

The comment thread on Tom's Facebook post exploded with joy, and everyone demanded to know who this mysterious Sully was. Tom jumped in to introduce him.

It turns out Sully and Tom had guided rafting trips on the American River together over the summer of 2014, and Sully lost his phone in Tom's car during a weekend trip that June. Tom explained that a lot of people put their phones in airplane mode while they're on the river because there's no service out there. No one can figure out why the phone was displaying a date in January.

Sully himself eventually came forward to thank everyone for tracking down his long-lost iPhone and provide a much-anticipated follow-up on the mysterious Bonnie.

So this won't be the greatest love story of our time, but it is still a great story. I'm going to be so mad if it doesn't appear on This American Life soon.

The Rock surprised his daughter by dressing up as her favorite cartoon character for Easter.

Actor Dwayne Johnson (a.k.a. The Rock) pulled some serious daddy duty on Easter by dressing up in costume as his daughter's favorite cartoon character. In a video he posted to Instagram, Dwayne Johnson transforms into a 6'5", 260-pound Pikachu and then runs around the house chasing after his 1-year-old daughter Jasmine (Jazzy). It looks like she could not be happier.

And despite pausing at one point in the video to remove his giant Pikachu head and exclaim, "This is crazy," Johnson's caption for the video is as sweet as Easter candy. He wrote,

The first time Jasmine's favorite character, Pikachu came to visit her months ago she was only crawling. For Easter Sunday @laurenhashianofficial and I thought, Pikachu should make a special visit once again. Well, Pikachu didn't account for the fact that now Jazzy RUNS and for 2hrs straight she wants to play her new favorite game, "I run away and you chase me Pikachu. And you're not allowed to take a break until I go night night". At the end of the vid you can hear her yell, "Peekyu" because she can't say, Pikachu. I'm tired, today's my only day off, it's 118 degrees in this costume and Hobbs keep trying to p*ss on my leg.
And I luv every minute of it. Bring it on. It's what daddy's do.
Happy Easter to you guys and enjoy your families.

When you have a livestream running 24/7, you are definitely bound to catch a few unexpected moments.

April the giraffe gave birth to a healthy 5'9", 129-pound baby boy on Saturday, and the new mom is very protective of her calf. So when a vet got too close to the new addition during a checkup inside their pen, April raised a massive leg and kicked him square in the balls. That's one badass mama!

Check it out.

After the first kick landed, the vet tried to walk around April and bribe her with snacks, but she nearly punted his nuts again. Don't mess with an overprotective new mama.

Yeah, April may live in a zoo, but this giraffe's natural instincts are still 100% intact.

Melissa Etheridge admits to smoking weed with her kids: 'It brings you much closer.'

What's Melissa Etheridge been up to lately? Just smoking a doobie with her kids. NBD, guys. In an interview with Yahoo! News, the 55-year-old singer said cannabis has been hugely instrumental in helping her cope with side effects from cancer treatment. And she's found the drug has another perk as well: helping her bond with her two oldest kids (with ex Julie Cypher), 20-year-old Bailey, and Beckett, 18.

"It was funny at first, and then they realized it's very natural [at the] end of the day," said Etheridge. "It brings you much closer. I'd much rather have a smoke with my grown kids than a drink."

The singer/songwriter/cool mom told Yahoo that she has been smoking pot recreationally since she was 21, but it wasn't until her 2004 breast cancer diagnosis that she became aware of the medical benefits, thanks to her friend David Crosby.

"My friend David Crosby, he was the first one who said, ‘You know, Melissa, you have to do medicinal marijuana. You have to [try] cannabis. That’s the way to do it. It’s too hard otherwise,'" she recalls. So when doctors tried to prescribe a total of "five, six pharmaceuticals," she declined, choosing to go the "natural way" instead.

Etheridge, who is now cancer-free, says what she went through was a "wake-up call" about the benefits of marijuana. "When I used it as medicine, it became so clear to me that it has been maligned and misunderstood, and I really wanted to help people who are suffering," she said. "I mean, going through chemotherapy is suffering … and cannabis helps so many parts of just that."

Today, weed is still very much "a part of my life," she said, and even joked that it's "the best marital aid" for her marriage to Linda Wallem. "When the family's there, once everybody gets to sleep, it's our time," she said. "It's Mama time … We take a bath every night and smoke, talk, wind down and sleep a very, very good night's sleep."

Melissa Etheridge may not be topping charts like she did in the '90s. But if this story proves anything, it's that she's definitely still a rock star.

8 tales of bridesmaids and groomsman who nearly ruined weddings just by being themselves.

Brace yourselves: Wedding season is coming.

With plenty of horror stories out there of bridezillas (and groomzillas!), we wanted to prepare ourselves for drunken receptions with crazy tales of the secondary characters: the wedding party.

We reached out to our readers on Facebook of the absolute WORST bridesmaids and groomsmen to make you feel like the ultimate, supportive friend.

(Some posts have been edited for spelling and/or grammar.)

1. Kate got something old, something new, something borrowed, and something orange.

My sister, who is 6 years older than me, called me crying and begging to be my maid of honor. Ok fine. During the year long engagement she tried to convince me that my fiancé was cheating on me. The day of my wedding she spilled her orange drink down the front of my dress, before we took pictures.

As bloody as a horror movie.

2. Joslin failed to book her wedding around the groomsman's schedule.

Had a groomsman call and complain about the date of our wedding and asked us to move it so it wouldn't interfere with his other obligation. Never mind that we had chosen that day because it was the only day family members could get there. Sorry, bro.

3. Linda was just the understudy.

I had to be fill-in maid of honor for a cousin because the day of her bridal shower 2 weeks before the wedding her maid of honor called to say she moved to Florida the day before.

 what shocked surprised really unexpected GIF
You know what they say...once you move to Florida, you can never, ever leave.

4. Good riddance, Samantha's Ex-Maid of Honor.

I got married this past New Year's Eve... my maid of honor had a new boyfriend who refused to come to the wedding so she said she would be leaving right after the ceremony to go party with him instead of with me at my own reception... I got upset and said that wasn't very fair to me considering I was only getting married once, etc etc... she then dropped out of wedding 1 week beforehand and hasn't spoke a word to me since!

5. Bonnie got buns, hun.

Got really drunk .... came out of the bathroom with the back of my bridesmaids dress stuck in the back of my panties.... good thing I had a nice ass back then.

6. Hopefully Lori managed to take some selfies.

My maid of honor told me my wedding gift was her help prepping for the wedding. Except, I sat by myself and made all the favors & she didn't so much as lift a finger to do anything. HA! throw me a bridal shower or bachelorette party?!?

Used my photographer as her personal glamour shots session. I'm hardly in any of them. The ones I AM in, the migraine I had made me appear STERN.

7. Sarah might have a new stepmom.

My mother told me my father had sex at their reception--with the maid of honor.

8. Lisa's story takes the (wedding) cake.

My maid of honor and one of my husband's groomsmen were dating for a year. The groomsman decided on the party bus, when he caught his girlfriend simply dancing with another groomsmen, that he was going to break up with her when we were doing pictures on the beach. I STILL have the photos of her crying in my pictures with red eyes!! Needless to say we aren't friends with EITHER of them anymore LOL

Beyoncé Knowles celebrated Easter Sunday with her family in a garden party that was exactly as classy and perfect as you'd imagine. The whole clan was there: Jay Z, Bianca Lawson, Blue Ivy, and many more. (The only no-show was Solange, who's performing at Coachella right now. The show must go on.) Of course, Beyoncé's mom Tina Lawson was there to take document the whole thing on Instagram. One of her pics in particular is going viral, because of how radiant, and extremely pregnant, Beyoncé looks. Remember, she's carrying twins.

The mom who started a controversial GoFundMe to take her kids to Disney World has raised a ton of money.

A mom in the UK recently sparked an internet outrage after she started a GoFundMe to help raise money to take her daughters to Disney World. Now, she's raised thousands of dollars.

Nikki Smith said she'd been "traumatized" by the abuse she'd endured on the internet after she launched the page, but now, just a couple months later, she's managed to raise £6,685, or about $8,400.

After briefly taking the page down, Smith relaunched it in the hopes of taking her daughters, 10 and 12, on their dream vacation to Disney World. Having seen GoFundMe pages for boob jobs and new cars, Smith never expected to see such backlash for her page on the site.

Speaking about the trolls who came after her when the page was launched, Smith wrote,

I’m traumatized by the abuse and negativity I have received and only put this back up because a lot of people said I should. I won’t let anyone bully me into taking it down.

Online trolls are hurtful and cruel, I haven’t hurt anyone and I was only trying to fulfill my children’s dreams. Thank you to all who have been so kind to me.

Many people took Smith's side, however, and now she's smashed her original goal of raising £5,000 (about $6,100). She now has plenty of money to take her kids to Disney World.

Smith posted an update to the GoFundMe thanking everyone for their support and donations.

"I have been inundated with messages of support through email and Facebook, it’s crazy, I will keep everyone updated!!!" Smith wrote. "Thank you again to all of my supporters, we love you."

The White House Snapchat made a really unfortunate (yet appropriate) typo.

Donald and Melania Trump's first White House Easter Egg Roll was a truly special event. Unlike the parties of years prior, the Easter party wasn't on Easter, featured no celebrity guests other than Kellyanne Conway, and included a speech about Trump's agenda next to the Easter Bunny.

It was as President Trump as a party could be.

The White House kept their fan who couldn't make it posted on Snapchat, and made a rally unfortunate, appropriate typo.

Yes, that is Betsy DeVos captioned with "education" misspelled. It's a good thing she's in the picture as to prove that she is not the one who made the typo.

And it's not even the only typo of the day.

Congressioal.

Trump posted this during his daily Fox and Friends live-tweet, and by evening, still hasn't corrected it.

What Spring Cleaning Looks Like

Muslim dad’s response to his daughter wanting to remove her hijab goes viral.

This is Lamyaa, a 17-year-old Muslim high school student from Pennsylvania who wears a traditional hijab.

Lamyaa was recently participating in a group chat started by one of her friends when the subject of Donald Trump came up. "I personally had very strong views considering the presidency did impact me because I am an Arab, Muslim woman," she told BuzzFeed News.

After Lamyaa criticized Trump's policies, a "friend of a friend" in the group chat started spewing hate speech. He commented that she "couldn't take that scarf off or [her] dad would beat" her. Oh, he also called her a bitch.

Most of us would've taken this opportunity to furiously unleash an ALL CAPS tirade against this bigot. Lamyaa instead used it as an opportunity to educate. First, she reached out to her dad, who lives in Saudi Arabia, and asked him about potentially removing her hijab. This was his wonderful, moving response:

DAD OF THE YEAR

"Sweetheart that's not my decision to make," he wrote. "That's no man's decision to make. If it's what you feel like you want to do, go ahead. I'll support you no matter what."

She shared their text exchange on Twitter in an effort to dispel the "mentality a lot of you seem to have" about Islam. It quickly went viral.

Pretty sure this is exactly what Michelle Obama meant when she said"when they go low, we go high."

The teen later explained she doesn't actually plan to remove her hijab.

And Twitter is fully supportive.

Unfortunately a lot of people on Twitter also misunderstood the point of Lamyaa's tweet. She clarified that this is herexperience with the hijab, and not everyone's:

But others did get it.

And many are praising her dad for being the greatest of all time.

Also, just FYI.

"Going viral" on the internet is the dream. But, unfortunately, we don't always get to choose why we go viral. If you're this woman from Cleveland, Texas, you went viral because you got your hand stuck in a toilet and the cops and the fire department had to show up to remove the toilet from the bathroom so that four officers could then pry your hand out of it. And of course, someone kindly filmed the whole incident and shared it online so the whole world could witness you at your lowest moment.

But hey, at least you went viral, right? Congrats!

Watch this woman's struggle after she mistakenly attempted a little DIY toilet-repair, and decide for yourself if it's worth her fifteen minutes of internet fame:

Honestly, you have to admire this woman for having a sense of humor about the whole situation. Especially when you hear the back story. It turns out, she was having a shit day even before her hand even got stuck in a toilet. According to Viral Hog, she explained:

A water pipe busted in the wall the day I moved in. I got my car stuck in the mud in the front yard. My brand new lawn mower stopped working. So when my toilet clogged, I didn't have a plunger and wasn't about to call the plumber again! I was just gonna see if I could feel a wad of toilet paper or something I could just pull out. But then my hand wouldn't come back out!

But before you feel bad for her, let's remember that this woman is more famous than us. At least for today. She may be "toilet woman," but we're nobodies. Let's call it even.

Elderly man dies 'peacefully' after being falsely told that Trump had been impeached.

Michael Garland Elliott, a 76 or 77-year-old man from Oregon ("he honestly didn't know!" says his obit), recently passed away in the most "peaceful" way possible: surrounded by loved ones, and believing that Donald Trump had been impeached.

According to his obituary in The Oregonian, which is now going viral, Elliott died "peacefully" on April 6th after his best friend (who is also his ex-wife) told him: "Donald Trump has been impeached."

"Mike ran out of family long ago and is survived by his ex-wife and best friend, Teresa Elliott," the obituary reads. "Though their marriage ran aground, their friendship only grew stronger and hers was the last voice Mike heard. And the last thing she said to him was 'Donald Trump has been impeached.' Upon hearing that he took his final, gentle breath, his earthly work concluded."

Sorry, The Notebook. But this might be the most romantic story of all time.

Here are a few more facts about Michael Garland Elliott's colorful life, according to his obit: he "joined a semi-pro basketball team that toured the country playing exhibition games, dressed as women," using the nickname was "Skaggy Maggie." He was also "the sharpest dresser in town" and an avid golf player. When his health declined and he couldn't play golf anymore, "he accepted it with grace and humor, and threw things at the TV instead."

The obit says that he died "surrounded by people who loved him dearly and cared for him selflessly during the last months of his life," and adds: "No patient ever, ever had more loving care."

This is the happiest story about a death I have ever read. RIP Michael Garland Elliott. May we all be lucky enough to live half as well as him, and to die knowing Trump was impeached.

Senior citizens are great people to turn to when you need advice— after all, they are old and wise and have definitely seen some sh*t. However, there are a few things you probably wouldn't want your grandparent's guidance for, and sex is definitely one of them.

Luckily, Jimmy Kimmel has no qualms with sending out correspondents to ask senior citizens how to keep things spicy in the bedroom, and their answers may surprise (and inspire) you.

I'm conflicted. Do I want "a little vodka couldn't hurt" or "pound town is better than nothin'" inscribed on my tombstone? Both are words to live by, really.
