Here is a video of an astoundingly hairy man shaving off all his body hair. It's 30 minutes long.

On May 17, a man named Devin Cara posted a video to YouTube (filmed by his wife) of himself talking about, combing, and eventually shaving off all his back and chest hair. Of which there is a lot. Like, a lot a lot. Like, possibly the most ever in the history of humankind. The video is over 30 minutes long. That's how much body hair this man has.

Devin is a bodybuilder, and he (with his wife's help) shaved off his body hair for a competition. He's already used to shaving his head every day, as well as all the skin above his collar on his front and back. But this is a much bigger undertaking.

"Just gonna leave that comb there."

Devin's wife says in the video that being married to him is sort of like having a pet, because he sheds so much. Fun!

Now that is a goddamn hairshirt.

Good luck in the competition, Devin! Too bad there's not a competition for body hair, because you would gold medal the shit out of that.

New study suggests women find men more attractive if they have a specific skill with their mouths.

New research suggests that a man's storytelling ability makes him more attractive to women. Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and SUNY Buffalo conducted the studies, in which undergrad students read descriptions of both males and females and then rated their attractiveness.

Interestingly, female storytellers were not rated as more attractive. The research teams think that male storytellers might be more attractive as long-term partners because it reflects their ability to gain resources and achieve status via influence. That makes sense. However, that pool of storytellers could also include d-bags that brag and lie a lot, so it's not all good.

"I totally know karate."

It's also important to remember that this story was conducted with undergrads (specifically, students who are probably required to participate in such studies in order to receive credit for an intro to psychology class they're taking). Now take a minute to think about some of the people that impressed you romantically between the ages of 18 and 22. All new research studies should be taken with a grain of salt, especially when college students are responsible for the result.

That said, every staff writer at Someecards regulary goes skydiving and has fought off hired assassins in hand-to-hand combat.

Annoying rich kids use their sports cars to get revenge after restaurant refuses them service.

A bunch of entitled people with nice cars decided to disrupt a Toronto restaurant after they were refused a seat. Although it is unclear why this group was refused seating, after you watch this video of how they reacted, you might come up with some theories. When you are a child, a tantrum may have involved kicking and screaming. When you're a rich adult, your tantrum might look something more like this.

This video was uploaded to YouTube with the title "Lambo rev's outside restaurant after denied table Part 1." Yes. Unfortunately that means that there is a part two. Spoiler alert, it is another low-quality video of a bunch of bratty man-babies revving their engines.

Presumably, the people involved with causing the ruckus probably filmed their figurative dick measuring contest to seem cool, but it totally backfired when the video was posted on Reddit and people were not impressed with their behavior.  

When someone with the username PMME__YOUR_BOOBS calls you out, you know it'd bad.

This just confirms to the restaurant that they made a good decision by denying them service.

GoodMerlinpeen jumps on the immature username, mature opinion train.

Bunch of children.

And ryandoe111 (who has a fairly normal username) agrees. 

Exactly. Reminded me of back in the high school days when we'd do stupid things like this, but this is just childish for sure...

Next time these dudes are refused service, maybe they should just do what everyone else does and leave a scathing Yelp review.  

Journalist 'humiliated' after not knowing what to do with the banana at a Somali restaurant.

Matt Pearce, a journalist for the Los Angeles Times, has been publicly humiliated after neglecting the banana that came with his Somali food, which is a cardinal sin while consuming the cuisine. Pearce, who admits that he is "a food idiot," sat down for a meal at Maashaa'alla Restaurant, an authentic Somali restaurant in Cedar-Riverside, Minnesota.

Pearce was confused when the server brought out a banana alongside his enormous entree, and he called it an appetizer in a tweet.

That is when the Internet stepped in to correct him.

Turns out, you eat the banana with the rice.

Mind blown. 

Of course, it seems almost counterintuitive to mix fruits into your entree for most westerners, so if you're one of them, just be glad that Pearce made this mistake before you could. He said failing to mix the banana into his food was like if he "walked into a burger joint, tweeted a photo of a ketchup bottle and said the server had brought me a fancy drink."

In an article for the LA Times with a thorough headline—"Eating Somali food? Don't forget the banana, or you might get humiliated online"—he wrote

Somali millennials around the world were laughing at me (definitely not with me) for failing Somali Cuisine 101. I received a steady stream of replies about the banana for the next couple of days. Humbling as it was, it taught me about how food — and the Internet — bring people in the Somali diaspora together.

Apparently, Pearce really missed out on a euphoric combination of rice and banana, and someone even sent him this video with the caption, "When you eat a banana and turn in to a Somali." 

Of course, there were no real hard feelings over Pearce's faux pas, and he did say that banana or no banana, the rice and lamb were delicious. Maybe the bigger lesson here is that instead of tweeting about your food, you should just eat it.

Teacher goes viral by asking the Internet to show her students how easy it is to go viral.

An Australian teacher wrote a note and asked the internet to make it go viral to teach her students about web safety. It worked, which is more than asking to go viral does for your cousin's YouTube channel where he sings Beyoncé songs. Sorry Devin! 

The note reads:

I am a maths teacher and year 9 coordinator at a fantastic high school in Toowoomba, Australia. 

Next week I need to present to the year 9 students about cyber-safety and I wish to see how far this message will go based on my account's security settings.

Please help me by sharing this message as far as you can. I will aim to track the number of "likes" and "shares" and create a mathematical model as well as showing just how far something can go from a small Facebook account.

Thanks!

Paula

Thanks for the terrifying reminder, Paula.  The note now has more than 73,000 shares. Your cousin Devin got thirty people to come to his show in the back of a bar once though, so there's that.

This Chinese laundry detergent just won the award for most racist commercial ever.

The Chinese laundry detergent brand Qiaobi apparently aired a commercial that is... well, no beating around the bush here! It's very, very racist. Here is that commercial. 

It's a rip-off of another, weirder racist ad from Italy that took the opposite take of fetishizing black people instead of wanting to make them white. Though it's hardly better:

It's hard to say much about these ads besides, "Damn. That's really awful." You can say, for instance, that skin-lightening creams are very popular in China, and that some commentators have decried a "phobia" of dark skin among Chinese people. But it is still shocking that an ad like this was ever approved and aired.

Johnny Depp issues statement about divorce from Amber Heard that's loaded with shade.

$

0

Johnny Depp has spoken out about his divorce from Amber Heard in the way that any classy Hollywood celebrity does: through a spokesperson.

These people don't have Twitter or Instagram. They're old school.

A rep for Johnny shed a tiny glimmer of light onto the mildly surprising divorce with a statement to Us Weekly.

Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life. Hopefully the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly.

The death of his mother and a divorce—you have to feel something for Depp.

Now let's analyze this statement closely for shits and giggles.

"Given the brevity of this marriage..."

It was almost as brief at this GIF.

Amber Heard was the one to file for divorce. Is this Depp throwing her under the bus or underplaying their relationship?

"...salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies..."

Depp pathetically trying to get people to not read into rumors.

Ooh, what false stories? Aside from that Heard got cold feet before the marriage and that Depp's family hated her. This rep makes it sound like there's even more rumors for people to lap up. Also, it's cute that reps still think statements will stop people from being interested.

"...this short marriage..."

Is there really no hidden meaning here?

Does anyone else see further shade tossed at Amber Heard here? Or is that just wishful thinking? 

A guy proposed to his girlfriend in a custom Super Mario game because 'geeks do it better.'

On May 21, Shane Birkinbine posted a YouTube video he made of his girlfriend Pam Edwards playing the best game of Super Mario Brothers ever—because he got the game to propose to her. Well, the game didn't, HE did (although a lot of people would happily marry a video game). His proposal is very cool and without a doubt the sweetest thing you'll see all day.

Birkinbine posted the video using his account Retro Shanerator. The video's title is "I proposed to my girlfriend in Mario Maker!" and in his video description, he wrote "Hope everyone enjoys just a bit of our special moment. Geeks do it better!" Yes, they do.

This couple is amazing. May their life together be full of coins, mushrooms, and stars.

Mommy blogger Sarah Turner was passed along a shopping receipt that she was quick to share on her Facebook page, The Unmumsy Mum because it's a pretty standard shopping list for parents. "Parenting essentials," she captioned the photo.

Loads of diapers plus sweets and booze—they should hand out these items as part of a new parent package at hospitals.​

One parent pointed out that this person did miss a crucial item.

Just doughnuts won't cut it when it comes to raising children and eating your stress.

Another commenter pointed out that the wine and doughnuts probably weren't going to last very long.

Other parents shared their own shopping must-haves.

One day that woman might understand. 

Priorities.

Then there was this poor parent.

Godspeed, Annette Boyle. It's going to be a fun weekend.

David Schwimmer destroying James Corden in a rap battle is whiter than OJ's Bronco.

Attention everyone who dreamed of seeing Ross rap: Today's your lucky day! On Thursday night's Late Late Show, David Schwimmer was there for you, spitting sick rhymes. James Corden shot first, taking on Schwimmer's Kardashian kredentials, rapping, "You played Robert that was a great combo, but you were so white you should have probably played the Bronco."

MC Schwimz was quick to show his nasty side, like Season Four Ross (The One With All the Rugby, anyone?), going straight for Corden's gut with some rhymes about weight. Things take a turn when the Pitch Perfect Rebel Wilson enters the arena, and shit gets real. Get ready to see Ross as mean as a Chandler.

People in London are freaking out over the giant hamster driving around their city.

People in London are kind of freaking out because this giant hamster was casually just rolling about their city on Thursday. Some find the giant rodent cute, others find it creepy, but everyone is just like, "why?"

Is this the preferred transportation of an eclectic millionaire furry or maybe a lost mutant hamster who got into a vat of toxic waste? Unfortunately, the explanation for this oversized rodent is a lot more mundane. The giant hamster, called the #JaffaMobile, is a PR stunt from the car repair service Kwik-Fit

Inspired by the story of one their technicians saving a pet hamster who got stuck behind the glove box of a customer's car, the company decided to build an entire hamster mobile—even though that really doesn't have anything to do with repairing cars and is honestly a really weird marketing choice. It sure got people's attention, though, so mission accomplished. 

Even Ryan Tedder of the band One Republic sort of freaked out over seeing the Jaffa Mobile in the flesh fur. 

If you think this guy is big, you should see the subway rats in New York City. 

Blac Chyna shows off baby bump covered by nothing but a huge tattoo.

Blac Chyna's womb is the center of so much attention right now. Her baby bump has gotten more news coverage than some major political scandals (probably). But it hasn't always got a lot of clothing coverage, as you can see from her latest Instagram, posted on Thursday.

🍉 Pants - @88finbyblacchyna

A photo posted by Blac Chyna (@blacchyna) on

The future Mrs. Angela Kardashian posted a sideways mirror selfie, showing her bump next to some brightly colored leggings and a black top, but not really wearing either of those things. The bump was, for the most part, naked and free. Enjoying the world on its own terms. Except for her huge floral tattoo.

Chyna needs to remember to be careful, though. Give that bump too much freedom and it might try to make a break for it. That might be the future of the Kardashian family name in there. If it's a boy, that is. If it's a girl, she'll probably get lost in the background. There are already way too many girls in that family.


Khloe Kardashian re-filed for divorce from Lamar Odom. For real this time.

Khloe Kardashian is re-filing for divorce from Lamar Odom. Yes, again. But everyone knew this was coming. Kardashian initially filed for divorce in December 2013, but put the brakes on the proceedings when Odom almost died from a drug overdose in October 2015. Because she is a compassionate, caring person, she stayed with him and helped him through his recovery. But now she's ready to go ahead with that divorce, mainly because, as sources told TMZ, she really wants to start a family—but not with Odom. It's going to be harder to have those kids with someone else, whoever that might end up being, when she's still married to Odom. Marriage is weird like that.

But it's not all bad. Apparently Khloe was always clear with Odom that she was only temporarily stopping the divorce because he wasn't able to take care of himself after his overdose. She said she wouldn't divorce him until he could live on his own again, and that time has come. Time to fly away, baby bird Lamar. 

Khloe has always been clear with family and friends (and presumably Odom) that the relationship has been completely platonic since she filed for divorce the first time. She and Odom plan to stay friends, and she'll continue to help him if and when he needs her. But barring any further overdoses he might have planned, this is the end of the marriage part of their relationship. 

Mariya Lyubashevskaya's full-face highlighter tutorial is equally inappropriate for daytime and nighttime wear.

Mariya Lyubashevskaya is a makeup vlogger who has taken the highlighting trend very seriously in one of her recent videos. Instead of showing viewers how to highlight their nose or their cheeks, Lyubashevskaya's video is a tutorial for a full face of highlighter. Highlighter on the nose, forehead, cheeks, eyes, chin. Glittery gold highlighter everywhere.

Lyubashevskaya says at the beginning of her video that a full face of highlighter isn't a wearable look, but there are undoubtedly a few scenarios in which this artistry would be suitable for sporting outside.

A daytime and nighttime look.

For example, if you are a street performer who dresses all in gold. Or, if you have a James Bond party to attend and your favorite film in the franchise is Goldfinger.

Ideal for taking a selfie that brings out all your features.

Alternatively, you could wear this look to work and be placed on administrative leave because your boss will think you've had a breakdown.

Kourtney Kardashian, the oldest, most responsible sister, honored the birthday of her ex Scott Disick with a wistful photo from the good old days. Kourtney posted the flirty, suggestive photo of her baby daddy to remind you how their kids were conceived.

The former couple are parents of three kids: Mason, 6, Penelope, 3, and Reign, 1, but that doesn't stop them from being glamorous. 

The celebration of Scott did not stop there. Khloé shared a pic from his birthday party, where Kourtney appears to be pissing in the lake. 

Side bar.... Scotts birthday party is not a themed party lol Just felt like it with my @kourtneykardash

Meanwhile, Khloé shared a paparazzi shot with the sweet message, "Happy birthday lord!!! We've been through it all and I wouldn't have it any other way! Forever my brother and forever my bestie!"

Kris also took the opportunity to share a collage of pictures that she looks good in, where Scott just happens to be standing next to her.

 And Kim happened to do the same.

Happy birthday to the "lord." Be sure not say his name in vain.

People shared the most embarrassing mistakes they made because of a brain fart. You're not alone.

There's so much going on in this crazy thing called life that sometimes your busy mind lets you down a little bit and causes accidental mishaps. These are known as brain farts. Brain farts are a common ailment, one you don't have to suffer alone. Read these 21 people's stories from Reddit and take comfort in the fact that the brain's autopilot momentarily failing is a universally hilarious problem.

1. Derped_my_pants likes to bond with strangers.

Was jogging late at night. A guy reached out his hand in front of me as I passed.

I high-fived him.

Turns out he was hailing a taxi.

2. MisterEvilBreakfast thought he knew what he was doing.

Rubbed aftershave in my hair and put gel on my face.

The worst part was that after I put the aftershave in my hair, I laughed at myself, thought, "Fuck, what was all that about?" and then added the hair gel to my skin.

3. Slayer9019 was ready to do whatever TSA wanted.

I dropped my pants when going through TSA....For those who fly in the super early morning it can be rough. I purposely didn't drink coffee so I could sleep on the plane...

I was on the security line, and did the normal routine of taking stuff out of my pockets and putting them in my laptop bag. Then off with the shoes, placed on top of my luggage, then off comes the belt as usual. Then of course when you take off your belt you take off your pants.....uhhh Nope damnit. Put them back on and WTFed for a moment as I finished up in security. Luckily not that many people fly at like 430am.

Nobody in the security line wanted to see that.

 4. Miss_Sangwitch has visibility problems in their stomach.

I was getting ready for work and had a contact in one hand and a vitamin in the other. Popped the contact in my mouth and washed it down with a glass of water. I'm sure the stomach acid took care of it.

5. Everyone has done some version of pixlepix's rather idiotic mix-up.

Turned around and went back home because I forgot my car keys.

I was driving.

6. KMApok was ready for the day to end.

The two that come to mind are while playing XBOX I got up to get a drink, then sit back down and can't find my freaking controller. I'm tearing cushions apart, looking under stuff, looking in drawers, etc. Turns out I took a soda out of the fridge and put the controller in the spot I took it from.

The other one happened the other day. Drove home from work, parked, went upstairs, opened the door, started to take off shirt. Then I remembered it was the middle of my shift and I hadn't left to go home, but just go buy a drink.

7. BuffyandtheHellcats enjoys a good cuddle in the evening.

Last night I picked up a box of cereal to put it away. I ended up accidentally taking it with me to bed.

8. Bits_of_paper is a sweaty person. 

Applying deodorant on my armpit with my shirt still on.

9. Danseaman6 gave some love to the wrong creature.

When I was in high school and living on the family farm, I used to feed the horses and barn cats every morning. Waking up at 6am for this as a 16 year old guaranteed that I was half asleep. So, I grabbed the cat food like I always did, walked to the table where my cat's bowl was like I always did, and poured some in. My cat always jumped up on the table right away to start eating right away, and one morning as something jumped up in front of me I absentmindedly pet it as usual. The hair felt a little rough so I looked down and instead of my friendly orange cat, there was a skunk. Just chilling there eating the cat food while I pet its back.

Presumably the skunk and danseaman6 quickly parted ways.

10. WeimarRepublic was caught in the act. 

Grabbed milk from the fridge

Grabbed a dinner plate from the cupboard

Began tilting the gallon jug toward the dish

Was about to pour myself a plate of milk when my mom walks by and asks what the fuck I'm doing

11. Arndta is a dedicated worker.

As a teenager, I worked at McDonald's. My McDonald's was 24 hours and, during the summer, I worked the overnight shift. My sleep schedule would get all messed up.

My parents woke me up for dinner one evening. I zombie walked to the table and sat down. My dad asked me to say grace. I bow my head and say, "thank you for choosing McDonald's, may I take your order?"

12. At least ladybookworm tried to put some fresh TP on the roll.

I meant to put a brand new roll of toilet paper on the roll and instead just plopped it in the toilet.

13. A-Perfect-Triangle loves the taste of music.

I was playing guitar and reached to grab a cracker, then I ate my pick.

14. Ungulate decided to ditch his ride.

I once got my car impounded via brain-autopilot.

I lived across the street from a gas station and didn't drive very often. Once I was filling it up, went inside to buy something, forgot I was getting gas, and walked home.

A few days later I reported my car stolen since I couldn't find it in the apartment garage. About a month later I get a call from the police, saying my car had gone up for auction and only then was it discovered it had been reported stolen. I had to pay about $1500 in impound fees to get it back.

Definitely one of the dumbest things I've ever done.

Don't tell anyone else that story, ungulate. It's not very flattering.

15. Athena94 was very into the show.

Once I was laying in bed very tired watching tv. All the characters on the show piled into a car together, and I thought for a second "shit I forgot to put my seatbelt on" before realizing I was safely in bed and no where near a car.

16. SalsaPicanteMasFina will not be winning any cooking shows. 

I was making ramen noodles and a pitcher of crystal light at the same time. Berry flavored ramen is....not good.

17. Katieisalady was very focused.

I used to work at McDonald's drive-thru. 5 days a week, 8hrs a day; so I had been hard-wired to say, "Welcome to McDonald's. How can I help you today?" Every single time I heard the headset beep. Straight-up Pavlovian.

One day there was a particularly wily fly that was always just a second ahead of me. I became very focused on killing this fly.

I don't know how many times I said it before a coworker finally stopped laughing long enough to tell me, but it turns out I'd been saying "Welcome to McDonald's. How can I kill you today?" To every car in the drive-thru.

Not one customer even paused or acknowledged the fact that Ronald McDonald threatened them with murder. They just wanted their goddamn nuggets.

18. Nopingonthat had the longest red light.

I sat there at an intersection in suburban Palo Alto at 11PM, patiently waiting for the stop sign to change.

19. Confessssssssofadad must've had a fun playtime.

Turned up at work with the landline phone and my toddler's lunch.

Great excuse to quickly leave work.

20. Nbqt2015's brain fart had lasting ramifications. 

it was 2am and way past bedtime, and I'd pulled an all nighter the previous night too. while finally clearing the table I was playing video games on, I decided to put all the water bottles away that had been out for days and days. I tossed the empty ones but my cat was being rambunctious and trying to open the trash can, so I picked her up.

I was holding my cat and putting some unfinished water bottles back in the fridge. she struggled free and hopped onto the counter but I was too tired to scold her so I continued grabbing huge amounts (6 or 7 at a time, both hands) of half-full water bottles from the counter and into the fridge

I pick them up, I put them in the fridge, I pick them up, i put them in the fridge, I pick her up. I put her in the fridge. I close the fridge. I take two minutes to finish up the dishes. I turn off the kitchen light. I hear faint mewing. I wake up. I open the fridge. she is so cold, but she is okay.

now every time I open the fucking fridge she climbs in. sometimes I don't notice her and she's trapped for a moment until I hear mewing. and I know it's all my fault.

(edit to clarify that I don't just start new water bottles halfway thru. it's over days and days)

 Cats can learn tricks!
