Chris Hemsworth used his giant biceps to bake his daughter a dinosaur cake.

Chris Hemsworth has officially earned the title of "Super Dad." When he isn't using his giant biceps to fight villains as Thor, he is using them to mix batter for cute little birthday cakes. This weekend he uploaded this picture of the T-Rex cake he baked for his daughter India for her fourth birthday. Even though the cake is not perfect, this just further proves that Chris Hemsworth is.

What happens when the bakery says they don't have time to make your daughter a birthday cake? You get involved and smash one out yourself! I call it "La TRex al la chocolate"

Posted by Chris Hemsworth on Saturday, May 7, 2016

The father sprung into action to make the cake himself after the bakery said they did not have enough time to make it.​ Hemsworth's wife Elsa Pataky even uploaded this picture of him using his tree-trunk-sized arms to mix together ingredients. Perhaps he will add whisking cake batter into his workout routine? 

Wow. That looks really, really good. And the cake seemed to come out OK, too. Even if the cake is not perfectly executed, this will probably be the best birthday cake India has ever had.


The Internet is losing its mind over this cat with a terrifying living shadow.

Feline siblings Pete and Sully will not change the mind of anyone with a distrust of cats. Their owner, redditor natural_distortion, shared an unnerving picture of Sully acting as Pete's shadow that has the over 800,000 people who've viewed it so far racing to atone for their cat-related sins.

natural_distortion: "I guess we should have named him shadow."

The photo blew many the minds of many commenters, like u/dickielickie.

That is a strikingly vivid shadow. But why are the eyes...Oh shit. That's another cat.

And u/ThatsMyHoverboard.

The thumbnail extremely confused me so when I opened up the picture it took me a moment to comprehend what I was seeing.

Imgur user FedExGuy almost dismissed it as a hoax.

I was halfway through typing "bad Photoshop" before I realized...

These creepy AF cats have a pretty tight relationship, according to the redditor.

[They] often clean each others heads. The black male gets pretty aggressive but doesn't snap at her much.

Imgur user tehconda shared what the cat would look like minus those nefarious emerald eyes.

While many would advise their owner to never turn his back on these little devils, people should keep in mind that underneath the sinister vibes that cats tend to give off are scared critters that can be foiled by a paper bag.

Hijab-wearing student upset about yearbook 'typo' that listed her name as Isis.

On May 6, Los Osos High School senior Bayan Zehlif tweeted a somewhat troubling snapshot of her picture in the yearbook. There's absolutely no problem with the photo itself, but the yearbook staff got her name wrong, and not just in a minor mistake kind of way. The name under her picture is "Isis Phillips." And Zehlif believes that's because she's wearing a hijab in the picture.

A student member of the yearbook staff, Trevor Santellan, told the New York Daily News that Isis Phillips is actually the name of another eleventh grade student who transferred out of the Rancho Cucamona, CA school earlier in the year. He said "We have a campus of 3200 students. There are going to be imperfections (sic)," and he also noted that he thought Zehlif's reaction to the error was "out of proportion." He continued, "If anything, she's being racist against herself because she misinterpreted it and not us. Because we thought of it as a beautiful name that parents gave to a kid. She obviously didn't."

Pump the breaks for a second here. Can a person even be racist against themselves? Either way, Santellan thinks that Isis Phillips is a lovely name that anyone would happily have under their picture in the high school yearbook. What's the problem?

For Zehlif, the problem is that while the name Isis used to be associated primarily with the Egyptian goddess, for a lot of people it now calls to mind the terrorist group ISIS (an acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). Zehlif claims that there's no way calling her "Isis" wasn't a slight against her for wearing a hijab.

On Facebook, Zehlif wrote: "I am extremely saddened, disgusted, hurt and embarrassed that the Los Osos High School yearbook was able to get away with this. Apparently I am 'Isis' in the yearbook. The school reached out to me and had the audacity to say that this was a typo. I beg to differ, let's be real."

The yearbook staff and the school's principal have both tweeted apologies.

One possible solution would be just renaming everyone in the yearbook "Isis Phillips," since it's such a pretty name and no one should have a problem with being called that, even if it is maybe referring to a group of jihadists. Problem solved!

A dad shadowed his kid's class and let the Internet in on the secrets of modern kindergarten.

$

33-year-old dad neatgeek83 was recently required to follow his daughter around her kindergarten class as part the school's program to infuse the classroom with positive male role-models. He then posted 10 unique observations to Reddit, letting readers take a tiny glimpse into what it's like to be a kindergartner... and a dad.

This dad's experience began so strangely. Did you know we are living in a dystopia?

1. "The day started with a fire drill. Followed by a “lock down drill,” which we didn’t have when I was in school. All four classes piled into a single classroom and had to be absolutely quiet and still while the lights were off and the doors were locked. Scary to think about, but necessary in today’s pre-Trump world."

First things first kids, everyone get terrified into obedience!

2. "The 'star student of the week' brought a tablet for show and tell. Everyone got excited. He pulled out what looked to be one of those cheap LeapFrog devices. Kids started peppering him with questions…'can you play Angry Birds or Crossy Road?' 'No.' 'Can you FaceTime?' 'No.' I felt bad for him….he was excited to show off his favorite toy and immediately got railroaded by the iPad posse."

WTF, no iPad? Let's get a Kickstarter going to get this kindergartner up to date, STAT.

3. "I spent most of my classroom time playing Chutes and Ladders with rotations of kids. They also had a card game called Line Up that’s sort of like solitaire. My educational contribution was telling them 'those upside down hearts are called spades….those clovers are called clubs. Tell your mommy you want to go Vegas for spring break.'"

Finally, students are getting a practical education and preparing them for the real world. 

4. "10:45 AM — time to force feed myself lunch... Also the kid sitting next to us didn't have a spoon for his pudding and was TERRIFIED to ask for one. SEINFELD REFERENCE #1: It was like asking The Soup Nazi for bread. YOU DON’T HAVE A SPOON? NO PUDDING FOR YOU. NEXT!!!"

5. "I’m so glad I have girls. Boys would randomly do karate chops, push each other and try to stir up trouble. Also about half of them were wearing Star Wars shirts... I told them that when they’re older to skip the prequels and prepare for Slave Leia to make them feel funny inside. And not to get too attached to Han Solo."

Yo dude, you really trying to bond with some five-year-olds over what they might want to masturbate to in the future?

Chill, dude. These kids don't need to start sexualizing women until they are at least seven.

6. "Was fascinating to see the gender differences in action. The teacher divided them up to turn geometric shapes into animals. The girls worked together, sharing ideas and encouragement. The boys turned into cavemen, arguing and fighting, grunting and growling."

And discussing Slave Leia's bikini, too, let's presume. 

7. "To paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld (reference #2) recess was like “running a blender without a top.” Or a prison break. Pick your metaphor. One of the boys ripped my sunglasses off and refused to give them back. 33 years old and I’m still getting bullied. I was going to tell him the truth about Santa, Tooth Fairy and Darth Vader if he didn’t give them back. ‪#‎revenge‬"

Fair. 

8. "Post-recess, an urgent meeting was called for the entire grade. Apparently several of our “kindergarten friends” were picking up trash on the playground and putting it in their mouths."

It's just like the old saying goes...one man's junk is a kindergartner's afternoon snack.

9. I participated in most of PE. Jumping jacks, squats, etc. Gym teacher said I was one of the few dads who’s been able to touch their toes. #Winning I did, however, have to sit out yoga. Hard to do downward dog and candle pose in jeans.

Holy cow, yoga in PE? Namaste in school, kids.

10. Teachers are really good actors. They run their classrooms like drill sergeants. I don’t want to say mean...but definitely very strict. And they have to be to keep control. But then they would turn to me to chat and would be super sweet. It was a switch they could flip on and off. Never crossed my mind that teachers are playing characters. And after spending a day in their shoes, I have the utmost respect for who anyone who dedicates their lives to molding young minds....especially kindergarteners!

For real, putting up with kindergartners AND a rotating cast of dads who are still into that golden bikini? These teachers are heroes.

A lot happened this week on Game of Thrones. Like, actually happened, not just stuff happening right before the end of the episode or someone walking in with a letter about something happening elsewhere. You can read our regular recap of the episode as well as social media reactions, but a lot of you are probably wondering: where can I find a recap of 'Oathbreaker' on Snapchat? Fear not, because even though Jon Snow knows that nothing is what awaits you after death, at least you can always count on our Snapchat recaps:

Channing Tatum is pretty much a pro at making all the other dudes in the world look bad by being over-the-top awesome to his wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum and their daughter Everly. Between giving Jenna pedicures and dressing up as Winnie the Pooh for functions at Everly's school, Tatum also finds time to write beautiful, heartfelt messages to his wife and puts them out for the whole world to see. What, is he in a contest with Chris Hemsworth for best/hottest dad or something? 

I took this just days after jenna and I (mostly jenna) brought our little girl into the world. I've taken many like it over the past 3 years but this is one of my favorites. She was so tired. Haha. But she has such deep strength and other worldly grace. Watching her in those first days transform into a mother was life changing. She was every bit the beautiful, sexy, funny, flawed creature I fell in love with. But the prism turned and showed a whole new light that I had no idea existed, the light of a mothers love. Thank you for that baby. Saw this quote today --" The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother. Theodore Hesburgh" there are a lot of important things in being a father. Who knows what the most important thing is? All I know is that in my case this is pretty high on my list. Love you cake!

Of course, he also treated the mother of his child to some gorgeous flowers, along with yet another sweet note.

Daisy Ridley posts a zit cream selfie, the new no-makeup selfie.

Star Wars star Daisy Ridley is the newest celebrity to share a "no makeup selfie," but she took the realness to the next level by also having zit cream all over her face (according to her hashtags, she still threw a filter on it, though). Like all of us, it would seem that the break-out star is still prone to break outs. Of course, she still looks beautiful despite the many little white dots. 

She decided to post the picture following this Instagram of her looking all done-up for the Vanity Fair Oscars​ party. She initially claimed that no one wanted to see her in her spot cream, but after the Internet objected, eventually she gave the people what they wanted. 

ALMOST 2 MILLION FOLLOWERS WHAT?! I'm currently sat writing an essay covered in spot cream drinking mint tea but no one wants to see that so instead here's me looking all fancy pants at the post Oscars Vanity Fair pardeeeee! 

Ridley has not been shy about her skin insecurities. She previously uploaded this a fake #nomakeup selfie with a caption that explained why she would never really post a makeup-free selfie. Looks like she has since changed her mind!

3 of these statements aren't true... Social media is great but also a bit scary cause what people post is the most filtered, most carefully chosen and cleverly edited moments of their lives. And self esteem is a huge issue for people around the world. My skin isn't great so I don't post no make up selfies, much as I'd like to; I have a trainer urging me on in workouts and don't include all the times I say 'I can't do it' and I don't smile all the time but I like to share the pictures where I am. But I actually do love myself, I try to think good thoughts always and am surrounded by the most wonderful people, so I'm keeping it balanced (like the Force, obvs). Just thought I'd say :)

And this, good people, is why Daisy Ridley is the beautiful nerd-queen that has captured the hearts of millions. Keep keepin' it real, Daisy.  

The Internet found Nic Cage's female doppelgänger. Just more proof that he's a time traveler.

By now, most of the Internet knows that "actor" Nicholas Cage is an undead, immortal day-walking vampire who feeds off the blood of humans—or else just looks a lot like some dude in an old photo.

There are, as Redditor carrotslaughter discovered, many other Nic Cages who have lived during this millennium. Now you can imagine a version of National Treasure with two Ben Gateses, not just because that'd be an awesome movie, but because it could happen with this woman who looks so much like Nic Cage.

"[T]hat is horrifying and accurate," one Redditor wrote in response to carrotslaughter pointing out the similarities between their friend and Nic Cage. The truth is, indeed, quite often both horrifying and accurate.

Even from other angles, the facial similarities are there:

Unfortunately, no other photos of the lady were shared, thus suggesting that a lot of this resemblance has to do with lighting and the woman's perfectly-furrowed brow mimicking Cage's permanent grimace.

Now let's all go home and watch National Treasure, which is most likely on TNT right now, because it is always on TNT.

These women tried on their old prom dresses to reminisce about more fashion-questionable times.

As prom season descends upon the youth of America, kids freak out over dresses and promposals, and adults can't help but get nostalgic (well, nostalgic and relieved they don't have to go through the madness again). Between picking out their vaginas from a lineup and trying on edible undies, BuzzFeed got some of their staff to try on their old dresses. The women put on their old frocks and discussed how they feel now that they are older and wiser—and for some, both fashion preferences and sexual preferences have changed since senior year.

After squeezing into the old threads, they recreated some mid-2000s dance crazes.

This one is best left in the past.

Talking husky refuses to take a walk because he'd much rather take a bath. He's an outlier.

Siberian huskies are as equally stubborn as they are athletic, which is perfectly exemplified by Zeus, a dog who'd much rather lay around in a bath tub than take a walk.

For a canine whose ancestors were bred to race across the unforgiving frozen tundra, Zeus's resistant whines and groans are straight up pitiful—yet relatable to anyone who couldn't get out of the shower this morning.

Zeus may be the first husky to endorse bath time, being that a quick YouTube search reveals that tubs tend to be quite unpopular with Siberian pups.

Nope.

Nope. 

 Noooope.

Oh, uh. Noope.

Haha. No.

On the other hand, infant huskies can't get enough bath time.

And this husky just doesn't know what to think.

Meanwhile, these huskies just hate Cuba Gooding Jr.

No matter where Zeus's owner ended up forcing him to walk, his woeful song of resistance is an inspiration to all species who understand the joy of never leaving a bath tub.

80-year-old woman gets amazing makeup transformation from her (probably) favorite grandkid.

If you're going to turn 80 (and it's recommended that you at least try), the best way to do it is with an incredible makeup artist for a granddaughter. This is 80-year-old grandma Livia, from Croatia: 

Please, no autographs.

And this is her granddaughter, makeup artist extraordinaire Tea Flego:

Don't give us that look. You're a makeup artist, we believe you.

See the resemblance?

Tea Flego's Instagram account is filled with amazing transformations, but hands down the best are the ones she does for her grandmother. That's why when old people have good makeup in Croatia, they say it's "On Flego." (They don't, but they should.)

This is how you do 80

It leads us to ask the obvious question, why would anyone age without talented grandchildren?

Tea Flego told BuzzFeed News, "My granny was always my model. She always loved makeup, and it was not a problem for her.”

OMG Livia, you're so lucky!

Here's a video where you can see the transformation happen from start to finish, and you can try it at home on your own grandmas.

Just for fun, here's another transformation at a much younger 79.

There will never again be a log flume photo as good as this one.

There is a long-standing and proud tradition of doing silly things on amusement park rides where a picture is automatically taken and available for purchase at the end of the ride. The log flume is the perfect example of this. Typically slower than a roller coaster, with more space in each car, this ride allows passengers to stage fairly elaborate scenes. Like, for instance, this picture posted on Imgur by user LittleGuyJosh on Sunday.

In the picture, one man, dressed in old-timey clothing replete with arm garters, shaves another man, under a styling cape, with a straight razor. Because what better time to have a dangerous tool/weapon resting on your face than on a bumpy amusement park ride? It's about as safe as performing a bris in a moving car. Hey, actually—that would make a great log flume photo. All you need is an uncircumcised baby. 

The title of the picture is "Just a little off the top," which doesn't quite make sense, because that usually refers to a haircut, not a shave. Unless he means a little off the top of his face. The question is, does he mean a little hair or a little skin? Yikes. At least if there are any nicks, there's a lot of water around to clean up the blood. Probably super sanitary, too.

On April 27, Maria and Tim Wusu welcomed their first child into the world in a much more triumphant manner than however your parents first said "hello" to you. In case you haven't seen The Lion King more times than you can count, the Wusu's video introduction of their baby is a riff on that pretty famous scene with Rakifi and Simba.

In lieu of colorful fruit, according to Uproxx, Tim Wusu broke out some baby ointment to introduce his daughter, Kaori, to the world/hospital staff.

Kaori may not be a lion cub, but she's about as cute as baby Simba, with an arguably cooler name. If you made it through the whole video, you'll know that Kaiori's full name (Kaiori Ayotunde Omautan Wusu) means "Sweet Fragance" "Joy Has Come Again" "God's Own" "Warrior." It's like a little poem. Meanwhile, other people in this world have names derived from other names that mean things like bearded chin.

Moving on: if you enjoy tiny human Simbas, then there's a 10/10 chance you'll love this tiny kitten Simba.

Mom responds on Facebook to son who forgot Mother's Day but remembered to post a Trump meme.

Unlike the happily reminiscing exchanges that filled most people's Facebook feeds on Mother's Day,one particular Redditor shared a bit of a family shit show. The Redditor screenshotted a Facebook friend's status and the ensuing comments the friend's mother left. Let's just say Thanksgiving is probably awkward for this family.

The tiny font is a bit tricky to read, so here's a close-up of the Facebook exchange, which all began with a rather curious Trump meme and devolved into a mother honestly discussing her son with a Facebook friend.

Mom: Too bad that you spend your day locked in your room with your ridiculous postings. Can't wish your mother a happy Mother's Day. Can't gather the recyclables for pick up tomorrow when she asks. But boy can you bum $13 off her the night before.

Janet: WHAT 1111?????

Mom: True Janet. Such a loser, liar and selfish bastard.

Janet: u wouldn't go to the trouble if u really felt that way about him

Mom: I want him out and am working on it.

Mom: I want him out and am working on it.

Janet: Seriously? He will never make it on th street...

Mom: He should talk to someone I gave him a number for and get in a halfway house.

Mom: If he needs to worry about putting food in his mouth and gas in his car he won't have time to spout his ridiculous venom about others. If he is truly a know-it-all, like he acts, he can figure things out and stop using other.

Janet: such as Turk House? Some of those are some really tough guys...when u "beat someone into submission" & deny them pride & freedom, u may destroy whatever is left of them & they giv up entirely...not being all "advisy" (n.a.w.) There are more compassiona...

Mom: I am not going to "put" him anywhere. I just don't care anymore and want my own house back. At his age I was not dependent on my parents. I did not use them. I helped them. I have another son who brings me joy. [Redacted] brings pain.

If you're wondering which side to be on—neglectful, Trump-loving son or publicly-shaming mom—well, that's your decision to make. But here's some context from the Reddit poster: "...I will say that we're from small-town type of place, and she is somewhat well known (and liked) in the community."

Soon after, according to the Redditor, the son did post a Mother's Day message, thereby redeeming himself giving his mother much more to talk about.

Mom: Too bad it produced a loser.

Whole lot of harsh going on there.

Many theories swirl in the air immediately after each new Game of Thronesepisode, but here's a rancid one that's both hot air and rock solid. Warning: Hot, wet spoilers ahead. Grand Maester Pycelle, the most bearded member of the Small Council, found himself scared fartless after making some comments about one Sir Zombie Clegane, who had entered the room with a somehow soft gait despite the armor on his eight foot frame.

Some fans, expecting only the best from the 86-time Emmy nominated gold standard of TV, were extremely skeptical that they had just heard what they heard. 

But the truth lies in the closed captioning. If you watch the show with subtitles, the truth reveals itself. 

It reads: "(farts)"

The look of a man who did not pull off the lean and fart.

Worst.

Yup, your favorite show has fart jokes.

Spencer and Whitney Blake faced a tough road on their journey to parenthood, having been diagnosed with "unexplained infertility." Today, however, they are proud parents of two little boys, Mason and Kellen, who they adopted in 2012 and 2014. At the recommendation of their adoption agency, the couple has also been blogging to inspire other families.

The Blakes, ft. balloons.

Remembering how "lonely and horrible infertility can feel," Spencer and Whitney decided to honor Infertility Awareness Week at the end of April by creating a series of Infertility Announcements. Hilarious and honest, the Blakes took on the tropes of pregnancy announcements that dominate your Facebook feed and applied them to their situation, to laugh at their past pain and to make people currently suffering feel less alone.

"We think they’re sort of funny in a horrible, that’s-so-true kind of way," Whitney wrote.

Selena Gomez noticed a fan's sign at a concert in Fresno, California, on Sunday, and she did not like it.

Watch a hydraulic press turn aluminum foil into a solid coin. Is there anything it can't do?

$

You've seen the ultimate power of the hydraulic press to destroy, and you've seen it test the theory that paper can only be folded seven times—but what if it could create by folding something? That is what happened when the giggling Finn behind the hit Hydraulic Press Channel tried squishing folded standard aluminum foil into a surprisingly durable metal plate. All hail the hydraulic press god, it is the alpha and it is the omega:

And in case you're wondering why the foil did not explode like that folded paper did when exposed to a hydraulic press, Reddit user mocl4 gave an answer:

Aluminum is a soft metal. Aluminum does not allow tons and tons of force to build up until it releases all that force in an explosion. Instead, it gradually deforms as more force is applied and releases all the force over a longer period of time. This is why after each time it goes under the press it comes out looking like a pancake. A brittle material (the opposite of aluminum) would not look like a pancake and would instead explode like the paper did in one of his previous videos.

The moral of this story? In times of stress, be like soft metal, not brittle paper. Thank you for this wisdom, hydraulic press.
