NASA Just Made it Possible For You to Check the Weather on Mars

Modern living has given us a lot of great things – smartphones, the internet, DoorDash. But this next one might be one of the best examples of humanity’s greatness and ingenuity. You see, you can now check the daily weather on another planet!

The reports are a part of NASA’s InSight Lander’s – short for Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport – mission, which is to give Mars a “checkup” of sorts. The robot is set to report temperature, wind, and pressure readings for the foreseeable future.

Mission lead Don Banfield reminds us that the lander “is close to the Martian equator – just north of the equator – so it is experiencing Martian winter.”

And Martian winter will have you saying prayers of thanks for the polar vortex you might be experiencing Earthside.

“I didn’t think we’d see any evidence of the storms that are 60-degrees north latitude, but we’re already seeing evidence of the high and low pressure-signal waves that create weather on Mars,” Banfield continues. “We can see those waves all the way down near the equator, as the waves are big enough that they have a signature. That was a surprise.”

Compared to the systems we see here on Earth, the high and low pressures on Mars are far less chaotic, but the coldest temperatures on the red planet average around -139 degrees at 5am. The sunrise heats it to around a balmy 23 degrees, though, so you know. Livable.

If you could breathe the air.

InSight will also be recording tectonic activity and meteorite impacts in real time, and monitoring the planet’s crust, mantle, and core.

If you’re one of those people who think colonizing another planet would be super fun, you might want to log on and start gathering your own data on what kind of clothes you’ll need to bring along.

But, you know. Warm stuff for sure.

Jack Black Accidentally Became a Real-Life Version of the “Distracted Boyfriend” Meme

Jack Black is a man of many talents. Actor, comedian, musician, singer, and YouTube vlogger are just a few of his accomplishments. Now, he can add “meme” to his resume.

The actor accidentally recreated the famous “Distracted Boyfriend” meme while he was walking around Atlanta (where he’s currently shooting the next Jumanji movie). As he was filming a segment for his YouTube channel, he walked by a couple holding hands, causing the boyfriend to do a double take.

The original “Distracted Boyfriend” meme has been around for a while now, showing a man checking out another girl while walking with his girlfriend.

Undoubtedly, the man in this version was undoubtedly thinking “Holy s***, is that Jack Black?!?”

While the “Distracted Boyfriend” meme has plenty of remixes, the fact that it was accidentally recreated so perfectly naturally caught a lot of attention online.

As a matter of fact, people have even made new remixes featuring the Jack Black version:

Over a hundred years ago, virtually every American city had public streetcars that people took to work. That includes cities we don’t think of as hubs for mass transit today, like Atlanta, Raleigh, and Los Angeles. Today, just 5 percent of U.S. workers commute via via public transit.

Growing up with siblings means having built-in best friends and worst enemies. You can pick on them, but the minute someone else does, you’ve got their back in a minute.

You spend your childhood fighting over who gets to sit in the front seat, but as you grow up, they’re there to help you through heartbreaks and give surprisingly solid advice.

Here are 10+ reasons why siblings are both the worst and the best:

Brilliant Uber Driver Wins the Internet with Menu of 5 Different ‘Ride Types’

Uber has undeniably revolutionized the transportation business. One of my favorite aspects of Uber is the rating system, which lets drivers and passengers rate one another out of 5 stars.

One Uber driver recently went the extra mile to give his passengers more control over their ride experience. This was first brought to the world’s attention via Twitter user @LuisLovesGoats.

Photo Credit: Twitter

The options include: Stand Up, Silent Ride, Therapy Ride, Creepy Ride, and (surprisingly) Rude Ride.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Since Lui was feeling a little down that day, he chose the “Therapy Ride.” It wasn’t long before Lui’s tweets went viral.

Naturally, people absolutely loved it.

Sadly, Lui only had the driver’s first name (George) to go off of, and he had some difficulty getting in touch with him to let him know he’d gone viral. But, the internet being what it is, people eventually tracked him down.

George even got on Twitter himself to thank everyone.

Thanks to the exposure, George now has thousands of new followers, and he shared a clearer shot of his menu for people to enjoy:

He also added how humbling and enjoyable this entire experience has been.

If you’d like to show some love to George, you can hit up the GoFundMe he started to get an automatic car, since Seattle’s hilly terrain can be pretty rough on his transmission.
