Some brave women at BuzzFeed decided to tackle mustaches head-on and agreed to wax each other's upper lips. They compared different methods of mustache murder, and decided waxing was tops when it comes to painful, expensive beauty rituals. They literally put themselves in each other's hands, and created a video that's almost as much fun as watching women wax their boyfriends.

Hopefully things weren't too weird at the office the next day. It's always hard to tell if there's going to be awkward tension in the air after co-workers get vulnerable together.

Michael Phelps has 18 gold medals, and he deserves one more for his participation in last night's Arizona State basketball game. The Olympic swimmer and his hot body emerged from ASU's infamous "Curtain of Distraction" to bewilder Oregon State's Stephen Thompson Jr. into choking on his free throws. Phelps chiseled bod did its job and Thompson missed both shots. Damn, look at those... gold medals.

Phelps is currently training for the 2016 Rio Games. He plans to work as an assistant swim coach at ASU after retiring from the Olympics.

Here's the video, try not to get distracted:

Go sports!

The Calgary Police are trying to identify a suspect who broke in to a construction site and stole $11,000 worth of tools.

Luckily, they've got a pretty good idea of what the guy looks like, because he was caught on a security camera, a fact he noticed when he looked directly into it.

On January 14 at approximately 4:20 a.m., police were called to the construction site. Once there, they noticed that several of the trailers' locks had been cut. 

According to the police, and to any human eyes, the suspect is a white male wearing a black hat, hoodie, and gloves. He's also got a large spider web tattooed onto his neck, so you know, good luck being inconspicuous, dude. 

On Wednesday, Kanye West got in a Twitter feud with rapper Wiz Khalifa, who has a child with Amber Rose. That wouldn't be relevant, except Kanye dragged the kid into it in some now deleted tweets. This was a mistake, because Kanye and Amber Rose used to date. Amber Rose got pissed as hell and shared what most women know about their ex-boyfriends: guys like butt stuff.

Since this is something that many people still consider shameful for weirdly homophobic and/or poop related reasons, hilarity ensued. Kanye has vehemently denied enjoying a satisfying prostate massage, and the Internet has exploded with butt jokes. One way they're haunting Kanye's crew is on Kim Kardashian's Instagram account:

In fact, Kim Kardashian's Instagram account may be haunted forever by peaches, smiling poops, pointing fingers and eggplants. All fairly innocuous on their own, but when strung together they paint a vivid portrait of a wild night. You can see the persistent comments below. Not even pictures of sunsets are spared the #fingersinthebootyassbitch treatment:

Taking down Kardashian's Instagram account is like destroying a Horcrux. Amber Rose does not mess around.

Everyone knows that Disney princess movies are usually at least a little sexist—Snow White is a brainless dope whose biggest joy is cleaning up after seven men—but now there's a new reason to be suspicious of these movies: even though in all of them, women have the lead role, in many of them men have way more lines of dialogue than women, a new study found.

Believe it or not, this trend didn't begin with movies like Snow White and Cinderella, with their decidedly retro gender politics; it began with The Little Mermaid, which was praised at the time for its spunky, rebellious heroine. In Little Mermaid, of course, Ariel literally gives up her voice in exchange for legs, but women speak even less in the five princess movies that came after the 1989 classic.

This may be because most supporting characters are made male by default. “There's one isolated princess trying to get someone to marry her, but there are no women doing any other things,” one of the researchers said. “There are no women leading the townspeople to go against the Beast, no women bonding in the tavern together singing drinking songs, women giving each other directions, or women inventing things. Everybody who’s doing anything else, other than finding a husband in the movie, pretty much, is a male."

"My best guess is that it's carelessness, because we're so trained to think that male is the norm,” another researcher on the study added. “So when you want to add a shopkeeper, that shopkeeper is a man. Or you add a guard, that guard is a man. I think that's just really ingrained in our culture.”

The Internet is having a banner day reacting to Kanye's denial that he likes butt stuff, in response to a tweet from Amber Rose following Kanye's Twitter feud with Wiz. Many people think it's hilarious that such a brave artist would be so modest in the bedroom, while others have jumped on the hashtag #KanyeAnalPlaylist.

Here are some the best reactions to Kanye being less than adventurous behind closed doors:

Notably absent on the playlist are “Booty” by Jennifer Lopez featuring Iggy Azalea, “Tush” by Ghostface Killah featuring Missy Elliot, and “Back Dat Ass Up” by Juvenile. Everyone will have to wait and see if Kanye enjoys all this free PR, or if he thinks it's a pain in the ass.

Emily Sears is an Australian model living in Los Angeles. Like most models these days, she shares pictures from her shoots and selfies on social media. She has 2.3 million followers on Instagram, many of whom are horny dudes who constantly try to seduce her with pictures of their penises.

She is very popular on Twitter and Instagram, because she is indeed a very talented model.

While sending a stranger a dick pic might seem like an undeniable way to initiate romance, Sears is creeped out by getting randomly sent 2-3 penis pics a day.

To show that there are actual consequences to creepiness, Sears has begun seeking out the photographers' wives and girlfriends. Then she makes sure they know that their men have been going behind their backs.

She wrote to the unfortunate woman in a relationship with this dick:

Terribly sorry to tell u that ur partner is sending pictures of his genitals to models on Instagram. I'm telling you this because I'm a girls girl and I think women need to stick together. I want you to know that all types of men do this kind of thing and it's no reflection on you. You deserve better treatment than this.

It has since become her favorite hobby (or "favourite," because Australian):

Anti-dick pic vigilantism is an important cause. The time has come to form an Anti-Dick Pic Justice League, for the sake of models and non-models alike.

Across 450 stores with 50,000 employees, a culture of creativity, and countless camera devices at the ready, some bizarre incidents are bound to go down. Sometimes they're positive, sometimes—most of the time—they are not. Enjoy these quirky, violent, and occasionally touching moments captured at Apple Stores across the globe.

1. When this woman absolutely lost it.

Listen, everyone has a moment like that, but rarely is it so perfectly caught on camera, with the rest of the customers just staring on in fear. 

2. When a guy took four months to record an entire album inside the store.

After a series of unfortunate events that would put Lemony Snicket to shame, a 25-year-old rapper called Prince Harvey took to the Apple Store to make his debut album, PHATASS. That's an acronym for "Prince Harvey at the Apple Store: Soho." Two employees helped him create the all-vocal production. Above, check out his first music video (he didn't film it in the store). 

3. When a woman in Australia sent a robot to buy her iPhone.

Lines for the new iPhone can be overwhelming. But not when you have a remote-controlled robot—or what is basically "an iPad attached to a Segway"— wait in line for you. Welcome your new overlords.

4. When police arrested this guy for terrifying people with a huge sword.

Back in November, 30-year-old Hsu Chien swung a sword around a Manhattan Apple Store until police took him down and brought him to "a hospital for evaluation," according to Time. Obligatory joke about taking "cutting edge" technology too far goes here.

5. When comedian Mark Malkoff brought a goat inside one.

"Do you think that the goat is a mac or a pc?"

Testing his hypothesis that the Apple Store is way too nice, Malkoff tried several different stunts in the above vid—culminating in a goat browsing for iPod nanos.

6. When these guys pretended to work there and told everyone to leave and buy Microsoft stuff.

Just a few YouTube brats infiltrating the Apple store with blue polo shirts and telling everyone to buy Microsoft tablets, that's all. People are actually pretty excited to hear there's an Apple alternative. Try a Zune, why don't you.

7. When this employee performed a genuinely touching act of human decency.

At a place more known for its long lines, one mother and her son had a moment for which they could feel sincerely grateful. When LynnMarie Rink and her nine-year-old son James were shopping, James, who has special needs, ran into a glass wall. Here's Rink's account of what happened next:

Dear Apple Store, Green Hills,

I’m writing to let you know how great your employee (pictured in this photo) was to me and my son, James, yesterday when we came to the store to buy a new iPad.

When James was about three-years-old we bought him his first iPad. It turned out to be more than a device to watch videos. It became a way to help James communicate.

Because James was born with Down Syndrome, and at six-years-old was diagnosed with Autism, we use his iPad everyday as a learning tool. Sadly, even with a life-proof cover, after seven years of use, James’ first iPad was no longer working. We had replaced the screen several times and it just kept breaking. It was obviously time for a new one!

I had lunch with a dear friend, who noticed the ‘state’ of my iPhone 5. I told her that it was covered in snot, and limping along, not because of me, but because of James. (My phone became the replacement to his iPad.)

To make a long story a bit shorter, that friend happens to be on the board of a charitable organization, Fiona Rose Murphey Foundation Trail Ride, who graciously offered to provide James with a much needed new iPad.

On Thursday, James and I made our way to the Apple Store in Green Hills. While looking at the iPads James must have seen something that sparked his interest in the mall, and he took off running full speed out the door. The problem was he wasn’t at the door, but at the clear glass wall. He slammed into the wall full force which knocked him over. The entire store gasped as they heard the sound of James’ head hitting the glass and then the floor.

I ran to him and tried to comfort him. James has a very high tolerance for pain, so his tears and ‘fat lip’ were brief. Mine however were not. As I hugged him sitting on the floor your employee came over and sat down next to me. He asked if he was okay and if there was anything he could do. I think it was at this point that he realized James had special needs.

'I think we’re gonna be okay,' I said. 'But it looks like he’s gonna have quite a goose egg on his forehead.' Your employee asked, 'What can I do for you?' (I wanted to ask for a margarita or a donut but I was pretty sure they didn’t have any of those in that secret back room.) I said, 'Well, we actually came here today to buy an iPad which was donated to James, but if we’re going to proceed would you be willing to sell it to us and set it up… down here on the floor?'

And so he did. Your awesome employee sat with James on the floor of the store and set up the new iPad. There are no words to accurately describe how grateful I am that he took the time to ‘meet us right where we were.’ He didn’t have to sit down on the floor with us. He could have easily waited for us to stand. Could have easily waited for us to come back another day. But he hung out with us in the midst of our pain. He even got a fist bump from James, and I snapped this photo.

Life is a learning journey. And I walked away from this experience with the reminder to always meet people where they are at. It's so easy to be so focused on our own mission or plan (or sale) that we fail to see what people really need. I long to be better at this. I long to not be so self-absorbed that I never miss an opportunity to love exactly like someone needs in the moment.

Thank you to Apple Store, your employee, and the Fiona Rose Murphey Foundation Charitable Trust for being a part of our never-dull lives.

In the emotion of the day I can’t remember his name, but I’m hoping someone will see this and get this “Thank you” to him! (Until the snow clears and I can get there myself! Which in Nashville could be weeks! ha)

P.S. And a big thank you to Apple for making products that are changing the lives of special needs kids!"

The kind employee responded: "I began working at Apple in hopes of having fulfilling moments like this. My hopes are to work within the realm of youth counseling. Thanks again for making my day!"

Now doesn't that just make you want to go buy a new iPhone?

A woman's open letter to her ex describing how she learned to love herself again after emotional abuse at his hands is going viral on Facebook, with over 35,000 people sharing her post. Suck on that, abusive a-hole ex! The woman who wrote the letter, Alabama resident Brittaney Lynn Shane, seems very happy these days, which is, of course, the best revenge of all.

The long letter reads:

You always told me I didn't look good with long hair and that you preferred girls with short hair. 

So I kept my hair cut above my shoulders at all times. 

You laughed at me and told me I looked ridiculous when I dyed my hair red when we were together. 

So a week later I dyed it back blonde. 

You would always point out if I was wearing to much makeup. (Winged eyeliner and mascara most of the time)

So I just stopped wearing it. 

You told me tattoos and piercings were tacky and ugly. And would try to take out my belly button ring every time you saw it. 

So I took out my piercings and didn't get any more tattoos. 

You pointed out my stretch marks every chance you got. 

So I did my best to keep them hidden. 

You pointed out every time I looked like I had gained weight. 

So I started eating less every day. 

You pointed out every single flaw I had. 

So I lost every bit of confidence I had. 

For almost two years you had me convinced that you were out of my league and that I just wasn't good enough the way I was. I did everything I could to be what you wanted. I did everything you told me to do. It still wasn't good enough. You left me for a younger prettier girl. Someone you could mold and shape into what you wanted. Like you tried to do with me. And up until a few months ago I blamed myself for everything that happened. You blamed me too. But finally I started to see the truth. You weren't out of my league. I was out of yours. I wasn't the one who wasn't good enough for you. You were the one who wasn't good enough for me. You couldn't accept me for who I was. When I took you the way you were. Your many many many flaws and everything else that was there. The only time I ever asked you to change was when I asked you to show me you actually cared about me. Which you never did. 

So now here I am a few months later. My hair is past my shoulders. My hair is bright red. I've got a new tattoo. New piercings. Started wearing makeup again. I eat whatever I want whenever I want and weigh 135 pounds. I still have my stretch marks. 

And I've finally gotten my confidence back. 

I finally see myself looking back at me when I look in the mirror. Not the girl you had created. You have your life. Your new love. Your side of our story. But you no longer have me. Not in any way, shape, or form. 

It's so hard for me to come out about this and admit that I became so vulnerable because of one guy. Something I always said would never happen. It's humiliating to even think about how low I got. But what gives me the guts to come out about this is the fact that I overcame it and I'm finally back to who I really am.

It's a great letter, and Shane happens to look great with red hair.

Yesterday, Facebook page School Mum shared a photo of seven apples, all with exactly one (small) bite taken out of them, with the words "Life with a toddler, summed up in one image." The picture, originally from the website Scary Mommy, really struck a chord with a lot of other mothers, who began adding their own similar pictures in the comments on the post. 

One mom posted a photo of four chewed up nectarines in the comments, adding that they were the handiwork of her 14-month-old son.
 

Another mother shared a picture of three cucumbers, gnawed but still in cling-wrap, with the simple comment, "My kids like cucumbers." Yes, but clearly not enough to finish them.
 

This mom shared a shot of seven partially-eaten green apples and explained that this is what happens when she tries to sleep for an extra hour.

Another parent posted these rice crackers, each with one small neat nibble missing. Tasty!

As these pictures clearly show, one of the drawbacks to living with a toddler is finding partially chewed around the house. On the other hand, partially eaten food is still food! Maybe toddlers are actually really good at sharing and we're just not taking their cues. Better they leave some than eat it ALL, constantly, without leaving any for anyone else, like they will when they're teenagers. 

Zach Miller was contacted by Tinder last fall because they wanted to let him know he was the most-swiped man in his area. This is a strange distinction, but not without some power. Miller was just an ordinary selfie-taking young man living on a small farm in Maine, now he's People's Sexiest Man Alive (in Maine). With that honor, he has the power to help adorable shelter dogs find a forever home. He also has a much bigger Instagram following that tunes in for cute pics like this:

And less SFW ones like this:

Rowr! But bad news, ladies, he's not interested in swiping right on you. Miller is looking for a guy (and probably one as hot as he is):

Don't let that stop you from enjoying an adorable dude cuddling with some even more (?) adorable animals at the Kennebec Valley Humane Society. Keep an eye for a hilariously creepy close-up of a rabbit:

Following the weekend's massive snowstorm, Kanye dominated the news this week, leaking his album track list, renaming his album, leaking the revised track list, and then going nuclear on Wiz Khalifa and Amber Rose, resulting in Amber's scatological response, which he waited two days to deny. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders started the week with a town hall, then Trump grabbed the spotlight by refusing to attend the final Republican debate before the Iowa Caucus. All this, plus jokes about Mr. Clean, walking like a crab, how tears work, and more, in the top 41 tweets of the week!

Lego released a fun visual puzzle on its Instagram, as a noble nod to the maddening riddle of finding a lone panda among snowmen. Now the pandas are in charge, and there are probably more in this image than there are in the real world because it's really difficult to get pandas to mate. Can you find the Lego Duplo dog?

Regardless of whether you found the dog, or how long it took you, start thinking of an excuse to tell others for why you're so intently staring at your screen right now. Aim high—say you're finally finishing War and Peace or Infinite Jest. Otherwise, maybe you're polishing a five-year plan, or forecasting what may actually happen to the Chinese economy. Just don't say it's pandas.

A little before last Christmas, a New Zealand mom named Christine Burnie was standing in line at the hardware store when a man came up to her to talk about her backside. That's sadly common when a lone woman is out trying to buy drywall screws or anything else home-improvement related. What's uncommon is that the guy was actually being helpful! He wanted to let Burnie know that she had a black mole on her back that should get checked out by a doctor immediately, which would be a very weird pick-up line.

Stuff reports that Burnie posted to a New Zealand message board called Neighbourly about the encounter, because she wanted to let the mystery amateur diagnostician know that he was right. The mole was melanoma and the doctor Burnie saw told her that it was fairly advanced. The Bizarro World cat caller may have saved her life:

She writes:

This message I hope will find the kind man who spoke with me at Mitre 10 Mega on Lincoln Road, Henderson at the Customer Services department before Xmas re the mols that he noticed on my back which had been black for quite some time.

I met you at Mitre 10 Mega on Lincoln Road and you stood behind me waiting for me to finish.

You spoke with me and advised me of the mole on my back, and suggested to me to get it checked out-which I did immediately after meeting you.

You told me that you had a niece at 25 die from a malanoma and recommended that I get my mole checked out-guess what I did immediately after speaking with to discover that I had invasive malignant malanoma.

Had you not bought this mole to my attention the doctor told me that another six months and my life would have been in a serious situation/ more likely my death.

So whoever you are that approached me- I am a mum with a young teenage boy THANK YOU for saving my life. I am truly appreciative of your advise. THANK YOU THANK YOU sire whoever you are...

It's an incredible story with a happy ending. But please, fellas, do not use this as an excuse to harass women about their backsides, unless they obviously need to see a doctor about dat booty.

Rapper Wiz Khalifa made a radio appearance on Power 106's The Cruz Show on Tuesday. During the interview, host J Cruz challenged Wiz to prove his science by singing his own, Wizzified version of Adele's megahit "Hello."

Although the original song is a melancholy remembrance of lost love, that wouldn't work for Mr. Khalifa. Before you start the video, can you guess what he made the song about? If you said "his feud with Kanye West," you're wrong!

Of course it's about weed. He's obsessed with weed. His hair is made of weed. Wise up, people.
