After mom almost dies, 18-year-old invents miracle bra that could save millions of women's lives.

Julián Ríos Cantú, an 18-year-old student from Mexico, has reportedly invented a bra that can detect signs of breast cancer, possibly saving millions of lives. His invention, called "the auto exploration bra," contains 200 sensors that spot early signs of cancer, according to the Telegraph.

Julián Ríos Cantú, the 18-year-old CEO of Higia Technologies.

Ríos Cantú says he was inspired to develop the bra after his mother battled breast cancer for years, eventually undergoing a double mastectomy. Apparently, getting a mammogram can often be difficult in Mexico, where there are only 9.5 mammography machines per million people, according to OECD statistics.

The bra doesn't even need to be worn all the time to be effective. Wearing the bra for just one hour a week allows its sensors to map the surface, texture, color, and temperature of the breast. According to the Telegraph, it then "relays the data to a computer or smartphone app via Bluetooth, where it is processed by a neural network. Heat sensors are able to detect blood flow, which often suggests that blood is feeding cancer cells."

His company, Higia Technologies, took top place at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards, an achievement that comes along with a $20,000 prize. The Higia website says that it is "devoted to boosting women's quality of life by attaining a professionalization of the self exploration method for the early and effective detection of breast cancer."

According to Allure, yellow blush is the newest makeup trend taking over Instagram.

Yes. Yellow. Blush.

Okay, let's talk about this.

We've seen some pretty odd makeup trends in our time, like feathered brows, unicorn eyeliner and geode lips, but nothing else makes you look like you are covered with a thick layer of pollen like yellow blush does. Hey, at least your cheeks will match your car/windows/lungs. Isn't spring just grand?

Leave it to the highly-skilled makeup artists of Instagram to make this trend look less "Lisa Simpson" and more "high fashion."

Who needs highlighter when it looks like you just painted your face with an actual highlighter?

So jaundice chic!

Stephen Colbert rips Republicans for celebrating their health care bill with Bud Lights.

In case you missed it, Republicans in the House of Representatives just barely passed a controversial health care bill on Thursday which would replace the Affordable Care Act. Shortly after the vote passed (217 yeas, 213 nays), the reps made their way over to the White House for a celebration with President Trump. On last night's Late Show, Stephen Colbert rained on their parade.

Unfortunately for these congressmen (who seem to have forgotten how America's legislative checks and balances work), the bill still needs to be considered and voted on by the Senate before it can be sent to the president for approval. In other words, it still has two more hurdles to jump over. In his monologue on Thursday night, Colbert made sure to point out that the bill still has a long way to go:

"They did it! Obamacare is finally, officially dead!"…is something they can say once the bill goes to the Senate then gets out of committee, is debated on the floor where amendments can be added, then the Senate votes on their bill, which is sent to the conference committee where the differences between the two bills are ironed out, then voted on in the House and Senate again, then sent to the White House for the president to sign.

Stephen Colbert also made fun of Republicans for celebrating their health care win (sort of) with cases of Bud Light and said they had just "kicked America in the balls." Sadly, being kicked in the balls is now considered a pre-existing condition.

You can watch his whole monologue below.

College ninja conducts hardcore scheme to steal test, gets cited for a felony.

At 2 A.M. in Lexington, Kentucky on Wednesday, college student Henry Lynch II embarked on a hardcore heist. WKYTreports that University of Kentucky junior climbed through the ceiling ducts in the school's Multidisciplinary Science Building to sneak into his stats professor's office and steal the exam, thinking this action hero move would be easier than just studying.

Even more amusing is that it wasn't the dude's first time crawling through air ducts for a great test heist.

Unfortunately for Henry Lynch II (what a name), his professor was working late that night, and while the prof had stepped out to get something to eat at the precise time of the burglary, he returned and noticed that something was wrong.

The professor returned and caught lynch and sophomore Troy Kiphuth running out of the office, and when police arrived,t he students returned to the scene and confessed.

The kids were cited for the burglary-3rd degree, which is a full-on felony (!!!) and will face a judge in June.

This is a good lesson, kids. It's easier to just study statistics than to conDUCT an illegal scheme.

Sean Hannity threatens to tell 'a story' about Chrissy Teigen after her latest Trump rant.

After the House of Representatives narrowly voted to repeal President Obama's Affordable Care Act on Thursday, liberal celebrities across the country were very upset (as were poor people afraid of losing their health insurance). As always, supermodel Chrissy Teigen was particularly vocal, ranting on Twitter about how Donald Trump has affected her own mental and physical health.

Teigen's tweets went viral, and came to the attention of Fox News's most swollen talking head, Sean Hannity. Hannity took time out from his show on Thursday night to read out her rant in full, and comment on what he thought of this "rich snowflake" and her anxiety.

Hannity also threatened to tell what he implied to be an embarrassing story about an encounter he had with Teigen and her husband John Legend.

I have a story. I’m going to be very nice tonight. I met John Legend and her at a Super Bowl event. But there’s a story that I’m going to keep to myself because I’m being very nice. I’m being very nice!

Isn't Sean Hannity nice? When he isn't being accused of sexual harassment, that is.

Happy Cinco de Mayo to someone who only knows those Spanish words.

Here's why Donald Trump won't ever be on Ellen DeGeneres' show.

On Thursday, Matt Lauer was a guest on Ellen DeGeneres' show. But after he was done being her guest on the show, he flipped the tables (not the side table always containing someone ready to jump out at you, though) by sticking around, studio audience and all, and interviewing Ellen for a while.

In their conversation, Lauer asked Ellen about coming out 20 years ago—how it affected her life, and her work. He also asked her about Donald Trump, and she revealed that she'd met him when her show was just starting out, she did something with Celebrity Apprentice, but that she hasn't talked to him since he started his run for the presidency. Lauer wondered if she'd like to have Trump on her show, and her answer was simply, "no," met with cheers from her audience.

Lauer asked her why not, and she explained:

Because I'm not gonna change his mind. He's against everything that I stand for. We need to look at someone else who looks different than us, and believes in something that we don't believe in and still accept them and still let them have their rights.

I think it's safe to say that Ellen DeGeneres and Donald Trump are pretty much polar opposites. Although it would be great if she could get Rosie O'Donnell to jump out of that table and scare the living crap out of Trump.

It's been 25 years since the Hanson brothers innocently opened your heart to the magic of sweet, handsome men singing in harmony. The three Jonathan Taylor Thomas lookalike and their shaggy hair MMMBopped their way into your soul as you danced around your mom's CD player in your JNCO jeans.

With chokers back in style, maybe Hanson will be, too. The trio—Isaac, Zac, and Taylor—are embarking on a 25th-anniversary tour to celebrate when they went from brothers to bandmates in 1992, and they're just as dreamy as they were then.

And they performed a capella backstage like some preppy college bros.

Hanson will heal us.

This YouTuber ate 10,000 delicious calories in one day and lived to tell the bloated tale.

Hey, everyone needs a cheat day every now and again, but eating 10,000 calories in 24 hours may just be a tad excessive. Actually, let's be real: it's a very, very bad idea.

Former Big Brother star and current YouTuber Skye Wheatley participated in the truly stupid 10,000 calorie challenge back in April, and documented her junk food-filled day on her channel. Wheatley ended up eating mass amounts of noodles, fried food, cookies and candy in order to meet the astronomical calorie count.

If you're into watching pretty girls eating a lot of food, check out the video below.

According to authoritynutrition.com, the average woman eats between 1500-2000 calories a day, and a man usually eats around 2000-2500 calories (these numbers tend to fluctuate based on a plethora of factors, including age, activity level and health). Basically, Wheatley ate a week's worth of calories in one day.

After posting the initial video, she updated her fans by reporting how she was feeling in the days following the challenge. Basically, not good.

Wheatley describes bloating, coughing, difficulty breathing, sore throat and a headache immediately following her 10,000 calorie excursion.

"It's been two days since I did the 10,000 calorie challenge. All of yesterday I was completely bedridden and literally could not breathe," Skye said into camera. "I'm trying to eat as healthy as possible. I woke up this morning wet and just sweating so badly, it's really toxic."

Hm. You don't say.

BRB, gotta go grab some snacks. That video made me hungry.

Gossip blog accuses Beyoncé of getting lip injections. She hits back hard.

Beyoncé's publicist has released a scathing statement after a gossip blog called MediaTakeOut published a story speculating that the singer received lip injections while she's been pregnant with twins.

In a statement to GossipCop, Beyoncé's publicist Yvette Noel-Schure slammed the tabloid for spreading the unfounded rumors. MediaTakeOut's story was based only on photos Beyoncé's recent Instagram posts. The site had no other evidence to back up its claims.

A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on

Noel-Schure pointed out that swelling in the lips can be a side-effect of pregnancy. She said in the statement:

What do you know about the effects of pregnancy on a woman’s entire body? Please tell me. Did you know that in addition to weight gain there is often a dramatic change in the blood flow in the system and increased fluid causing swelling? Do you know that often women’s gums get swollen? Do you know that it sometimes affects our speech, our ability to chew intently and a host of other things?

A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on

"But the sacrifice to our faces, our feet and our entire bodies is something we welcome because we bring beautiful humans into the world who will one day combat your hate and negativity," Noel-Schure continued. "I stood silent during Beyonce’s first pregnancy when you thought it was okay to bully her like the cowards you are, when you accused her of never being pregnant, but I simply cannot this time."

"You are the saddest individuals and picking on a pregnant lady is tantamount to possessing the coldest, despicable heart," Noel-Schure said, addressing MediaTakeOut. "You need to find something else to do with your time and maybe stop by a store that has happiness on sale because you need to buy some."

When will people learn not to mess with Beyoncé?

Guy exploring deep beneath a factory discovers the craziest Cold War relic you've ever seen.

YouTuber Shiey is an urban explorer—armed with a head-mounted camera and a flashlight, he ventures into abandoned or unoccupied locations to explore the dark underbelly of city life most of us never even think about. It's an exciting, dangerous, and mostly illegal hobby that has netted his channel over 87,000 subscribers.

His latest video, however, is going viral in a much bigger way, because it's the most insane. While exploring a working factory in Russia, he found a discreet metal gate in a concrete block, and decided to venture into the creepy network of narrow tunnels leading down from it. When he got to the bottom, he found something straight out of a post-apocalyptic movie.

Shiey's description reads:

Seemed abandoned, but it had electricity and ventilation, so...

While walking through the territory of a factory, located in the industrial area of the city, I noticed a weird concrete block with a metal gate on the side of it. I opened it and a latter [sic] climb later I was in a dark, small tunnel leading to an underground bomb shelter/safe house.

Shiey's video was posted to Reddit, where it's blowing up. It's not hard to see why—urban exploration is a fantasy for many city dwellers too nervous to try it for themselves. If you're one of these types, we feel obligated to mention that you should NEVER TRY this yourself. It's very illegal, extremely dangerous, and overall just dumb.

Now let's watch the video again.

People are wearing their girlfriends' used fake eyelashes for the craziest reason.

$

Sometimes when your significant other is not around and you miss them, you may put on something of theirs to remind you of them. Like a favorite shirt, or hat, or, you know, their used fake eyelashes.

Dallas-based Youtuber Nathan Ontiveros accidentally started a trend on May 2, when he tweeted a picture of himself wearing his girlfriend's fake eyelashes. (His girlfriend, coincidentally, is professional makeup YouTuber Brittney Kay Graza.) He didn't put them on over his eyes where they'd normally be worn, because, honestly, getting those things in place can be really difficult. He just put them on his cheeks, like little furry smiles.

Ontiveros accompanied the picture with the words, "When you miss your girl and her lashes are the only thing you have to remind you of her." Awwwww! That's so sweet…and weird. But okay!

Anyway, clearly Ontiveros wasn't the only one who felt this way, because soon other people on Twitter started tweeting pictures of themselves also wearing their partners' fake eyelashes.

Emailing with Daily Dot, Nathan Ontiveros explained that he took the picture after Garza asked if he'd seen her lashes around the house. He explained:

When I found them I took these pics thinking it would be funny to post. When I saw that people were tweeting pics with their partners’ lashes on their face, I was more happy than anything! It’s nice to see people having fun on Twitter and not being so serious all the time!

For her part, Garza told Daily Dot over email:

We have been together for a year, and yes, our relationship is extremely goofy and full of pranks and jokes. My boyfriend makes tons of parody videos, so every day it’s something new.

This is one joke that definitely resonated for a lot of folks.

This person apparently keeps a pair around for when the missing starts to set in. Nice and handy.

And then there's this guy, who's got other ideas about what to do with all his lady's eyelashes. Not as sentimental, but not a bad idea.

Alcohol might be a better painkiller than Tylenol, according to science.

Your boozy aunt Susan and your lush freshman year roommate might actually be right: Alcoholis a great painkiller.

"Just taking care of myself."

While research on the effects of alcohol has been swinging back and forth like you when you're drunk, a meta-analysis of 18 scientific studies in The Journal of Pain suggests that scientists can agree on one thing: Alcohol might be a better painkiller than acetaminophen, aka Tylenol.

If you combine the great painkiller with laughter (the best medicine), a night with friends just might be the cure to your ills. That is, if you aren't in so much pain that you can't go out.

Cheers! To your health!

Dr. Trevor Thompson of the University of Greenwich looked at 18 controlled experiments on the analgesic effects of alcohol and found that Blood Alcohol Content of approximately 0.08% (around three or four beers) "produced a small elevation of pain threshold and a moderate to large reduction in pain intensity ratings. "

That's the difference between a frowny face and a crying frowny face on the official emergency room pain scale!

 parks and recreation alcohol aubrey plaza april thank you alcohol GIF

But there is a downside, of course. Thompson explained that the World Health Organization's guidelines encourage seeking alternatives because patients with chronic pain are at a higher risk of alcohol abuse. Also, obviously, this would not work with people with alcohol abuse problems who should not drink alcohol at all.

So don't get in the habit of "drinking the pain away," especially considering that alcohol is often just delaying the pain until the morning. But if you're feeling for a more delicious alternative to Tylenol, beer is the way to go.

I'm not above using obscure Mexican battles to justify my drinking.

YouTube 'prankster' asks fans to donate to legal fund after arrest for life-threatening stunt.

For years, YouTuber Charles Ross (a.k.a. RossCreations) has entertained his 560,000 subscribers, and infuriated millions more, with videos of his half-baked, invasive, and possibly illegal pranks. Some of his greatest hits include kissing strangers, getting into strangers' cars, and running around a playground full of scared kids while wearing a diaper. Most of them involve assaulting strangers in some way.

So it's no surprise that one of these stunts eventually landed Ross in handcuffs. Ross recently posted a video of himself "removing unnecessary stop signs" by physically taking them off their poles and putting them on the ground. In the video, which has since been deleted, he dresses like a city worker in a reflective vest and hard hat, telling the camera,

Hey guys, as a self-appointed city traffic flow coordinator, I think it's time now to remove some of these unnecessary stop signs. Like these, they're impeding the flow of traffic, they need to go.

Then he and his buddies guffaw as cars sail through the intersection, unaware of the danger they're in.

At the end of the video, Ross is seen being led out of his home in handcuffs by police officers. It's the funniest part.

Oops.

Ross spent two days in jail before being released. Now he faces charges of third degree felony grand theft, carrying a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Claiming that he "doesn't have much money for legal fees or a lawyer," Ross has started a crowdfunding campaign on FundRazr for his legal defense. He's looking for $5,000 so he can get back on the street and keep his criminal prank career going.

On his campaign page, he writes:

I recently uploaded a video of myself removing a stop sign at a three way stop. The particular intersection had not had a stop sign at it for 18 years of my life. I put the signs next to the poles (off camera).

After posting the video of this, the police found and arrested me for one count of grand theft (a 3rd degree felony). If you're not interested in helping me because you think I'm an idiot, thats fine and I understand! If you are interested in helping me pay for legal defense, it would mean a lot to me!

I love you and appreciate your support!

In another video on his channel (that has also been deleted), Ross asked his followers to contribute to his fund, using a somber black background to prove how serious he is about this.

He's a regular Charlie Rose.

This is not the first time Ross has been arrested for his pranks. In 2013, at the age of 18, he posted a video entitled "Jumping over a cop." In this masterpiece, he (you guessed it) jumped over a cop seated on a park bench. Then he got hauled off to jail. That video, by the way, is still on YouTube.

Donate to Charles Ross today. Or, if you're feeling especially charitable, flush that money down the toilet.


Twitter barbecues Mike Huckabee over his awful and offensive Cinco de Mayo joke.

Former Arkansas governor and current blathering old man Mike Huckabee likes to make jokes on Twitter. There is only one problem— he really sucks at it.

In his latest attempt, Huckabee tweeted out this purposely distasteful "joke" about Cinco de Mayo, a Mexican holiday that commemorates the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

Okay, so Huckabee is very obviously trying stir up controversy with broad stereotypes about Mexicans for no other reason than to just be an ass. Makes you long for the good ol' days when politicians at least pretended not to be racist, doesn't it?

Luckily, people on Twitter (who are actually funny) had some pretty good rebuttals to Huckabee's unfunny tweet:

Although Cinco De Mayo is observed to commemorate an unlikely military defeat over French forces in 1862, many Americans mark the holiday by wearing racially insensitive costumes, guzzling alcohol and eating inauthentic Mexican food at chain restaurants. Nowadays, many like to exploit Mexican culture as they chant "build a wall!"

The irony.

Remember when we thought things couldn't get weirder than this Cinco de Mayo tweet?

Stick to politics, Huckabee. Oh wait, you were no good at that either.

Maybe just go away?

A picture that has over 1.4 million views on Imgur is making everyone do double-takes and yank their heads out of the gutter with a pretty naughty optical illusion.

Check behind you. Is your boss there?

Okay, scroll down.

Reddit user Summerle posted the photo of the happy couple, the NSFW having everyone scrolling past and feel dirty.

Oh wow.

Scroll right past it and it so clearly seems like pornography.

Questions arise, such as:

  • Whose legs are those?
  • Is that an especially thick finger...or a particularly thin you-know-what (penis)?
  • Why is that dude naked on a boat? More importantly, why is that dude sitting spread-eagle on a boat?
  • HOW DID THE LADY NOT SEE THE ALMOST-PENIS BEFORE MAKING THIS HER PROFILE PICTURE?

As a thumbnail, the image is straight-up NASTY.

Make sure to double-check your profile pictures before your Facebook friends do double-takes.

This 'Titanic' fan theory makes Rose and Jack's love story even sadder.

$

There are a lot of fan theories about movies and TV shows floating around the internet (like these ones aboutHarry Potterand Game of Thrones.) Some of them kind of make sense, some are straight up bonkers, and then there's this one, about Titanic, which is making me rethink everything I've ever known to be true.

One Reddit user believes that Jack Dawson isn't a real person, but just a figment of Rose's imagination. You're probably a little skeptical, but their argument is pretty compelling.

Was this Titanic character an imaginary person?

Well, Titanic just got a hundred times more weird.

Posted by Alltime Movies on Sunday, October 2, 2016

The gist of the theory is that Rose was so unhappy to be engaged to her fiancé Cal that she invented an imaginary man to be his counterpart. Enter Jack Dawson.

Hypothetically, this would explain why Jack first appeared to Rose when she was contemplating killing herself to get out of marrying Cal, and why the researchers in the present-day part of the film couldn't find any record of a Jack Dawson on board the Titanic.

Like any theory, there are a couple ways to dispute it. For example, Rose isn't the only other character that Jack interacts with in the film, meaning that other people can see him, too. This makes it highly unlikely that he's just a figment of Rose's imagination. Also, it's stated in the movie that he won his ticket to be on board the ship, so it's possible he could've boarded it under a different name.

Of course, there are probably ways to explain those holes in the theory. Either way, it's interesting to think about.

If this theory turns out to be true and Jack really is just a figment of Rose's imagination instead of a live, breathing human being, maybe I can finally feel better about him letting go of Rose's hand and slipping into the icy waters instead of just asking her to scoot over to make room for him on that huge door.
