This Artist Creates Adorable Felt Cats With Big Personalities

We can’t get enough cats, and this Russian artist gives us one more reason to rejoice!

Elizabeth Delektorskaya’s felt kitty creations are the stuff of “aww!” They look like they could come to life at any moment, not as real cats, necessarily, but as their big-eyed, animated counterparts (think Puss and Boots from Shrek.)

The kitties come complete with precious whiskers, little pointed ears, and sparkling eyes that reveal their mischievous and loveable personalities. Delektorskaya has added accessories, including matching scarves and collars, giving each cat a distinct character.

Some look like they are ready to play with a massive ball of yarn, while others give the distinct impression they just want to cuddle. Whatever their choice, it’s fine by us.

Delektorskaya, who hails from Severodvinsk, Russia, creates these adorable kittens from 100% natural sheep’s wool and a unique dry felting technique. Depending upon their complexity, and how much of the kitten she’s making (just the face or the whole body), she spends anywhere from 3 hours to 7 days on one piece.

She wants people to know that, although her felt four-legged friends are cuddly, they are indeed fragile; they are pieces of art and should be handled with extreme care.

Teens Used the Randonautica App and It Led Them to a Gruesome Discovery

It sounds like a horror film, but it was all too real for teens who were led to a suitcase full of human remains in Washington.

The group was documenting its trip to a Washington beach after an app sent them there. Randonautica uses randomized coordinates that are close to where its users are located, allowing them to explore new areas in their general location.

Photo credit: TikTok

While walking on Alki Beach in Seattle, they noticed a black suitcase that had washed up on the shore. As they approached, the smell became overwhelming for the group, who knew right away that something was amiss.

They called the police; however, law enforcement took hours to show up, and the bag was in danger of washing back out into the ocean as the tide rose. It also started to expose the contents of the suitcase.

@ughhenry

Something traumatic happened that changed my life checkkkk 😐🥺 @natthecvt #fyp #viral #crime #murder #randonautica #randonauting #scary #washington

The police eventually showed up, and later, reports confirmed that there were human remains found, but the teens weren’t mentioned, though it is assumed to be them because the location was the same.

Video of the find went viral on social media and has gotten millions of views so far. Viewers wondered about the state of the kids’ mental health after finding such a horrific discovery and wondered why Randonautica pointed them in that direction in the first place.

So far, there has been no explanation as to the identity of the person in the suitcase, or how it got there.

‘Supermarket Sweep’ Is Back on Netflix and Viewers Are Feeling It!

2020 hasn’t been the best year, and we’re all craving some nostalgia.

Even a simple trip to the supermarket as it used to be would be something to look forward to, so it’s no wonder that Supermarket Sweep is back!

That’s right kids! Your favorite game show where you guess how much groceries cost… it’s back in all of it’s nostalgic glory!

Photo credit: Fremantle Media

And mo, it’s not a reboot—the show from the early 1990s that you remember is airing once again on Netflix. Maybe it’s the big hair or the cheap groceries, but whatever it is, viewers can’t get enough and are talking about it non-stop on social media.

The idea for the game goes back to the 1960s.

Supermarket Sweep has teams of contestants answer trivia questions and run around a grocery store, collecting as many high-priced items as possible. Netflix has so far offered up one season of the show from 1993, which is easy to binge-watch in an afternoon, as the episodes are only about 20 minutes long.

The very first run of the show aired in 1965 before popping up again in its early ’90s incarnation. It was revived yet again in the early 2000s, and a new version of the show hosted by SNL’s Leslie Jones was about to film in 2020 when everything was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Of course, we’ll have to wait for that, so the run from 1993 will have to suffice. To be honest, if Netflix were to air the other seasons, including those from the 1960s, we wouldn’t mind that at all. (Hint, hint.)

Which game shows would you like to see rebooted? Let us know in the comments below!

Customers Treated a Server Poorly and Paid a Price for Their Actions

We hear all kinds of stories about customers who display lousy behavior—some get chastised for it, and some don’t.

The three women in the following story decided to treat a server poorly while on their lunch break and ended up suffering the consequences of that bad decision in a way they never saw coming.

According to a Reddit post, the trio decided to head out for sushi for lunch and displayed poor attitudes from the moment they stepped inside. A co-worker to the server in question tells the story:

Photo credit: Reddit

The ladies were impatient from the moment they sat down, to the point of even ignoring the restaurant’s signage.

Photo credit: Reddit

The waitress comes over to take to their orders, and it was evident they weren’t in a mood to be patient. They started giving her a hard time.

Photo credit: Reddit

The server is fair, but also doesn’t allow the customers to walk all over her. She serves them, but lets them subtly know their anger is not tolerated. They decide to talk to the owner as she listens.

Photo credit: Reddit

They leave the restaurant and mess for the employees and the owner to clean up. But they’re about to receive a shocking surprise.

Photo credit: Reddit

In that short amount of time, these three women took action that would change the course of their lives. And therein lies the lesson—treat everyone you meet with respect because you don’t know it will come back to bite you if you don’t.

The people who read this DEFINITELY had some similar stories about awful customers… and the sweet, sweet, revenge they exacted.

Photo Credit: Reddit

And sometimes… revenge is NOT exacted.

Photo Credit: Reddit

But then again… sometimes it is.

Photo Credit: Reddit

Hey all you people who encounter awful customers… speak up! It likely will get them fired.

Have you had experiences with rude customers? Did you get them fired?

Letting Spiders Live Can Actually Help Out in Your Home

We’ve all encountered a spider or two in our homes. And in most cases, we kill it as quickly as we found it.

But in actuality, letting those scary-looking creatures live could actually benefit your home. While spiders may send fear down your spine, they play an important part in our indoor ecosystem.

Photo Credit: Pexels

Though most people would like to believe that spiders exist only in nature, they can be found in most homes. Whether accidentally trapped or simply stopping by for an unwelcomed visit, spiders will take up residence in your home.

And while that may seem sinister, it actually is a great thing for your home.

Matt Bertone and his colleagues conducted a visual survey of 50 North Carolina homes to determine just exactly what type of arachnids live under people’s roofs. It turns out that every home had spiders crawling around.

Photo Credit: Pexels

The most common species they found were cobweb spiders and cellar spiders—both of which build webs in order to trap potential prey. Cellar spiders take things a step further by mimicking prey in order to trick their cousins into becoming dinner.

So how does letting spiders live benefit your home?

Well, spiders capture nuisance pests and disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes that could pose a potential problem for you and the rest of the inhabitants in your home.

In fact, there’s even a species of jumping spiders that specifically like to dine on blood-filled mosquitoes.

In most cases, spiders present no real harm to humans. So even if you encounter a spider the next time you’re cleaning out your cluttered closet, consider letting it live so that the natural ecosystem can continue thriving.

And if you really can’t stomach the thought of a spider residing in your home, at least capture and release it outside.

Do you have a fear of spiders? What do you do when you encounter one in your home?

A Man Proved That 5 “Self-Made Billionaires” Had a Lot of Help Getting to the Top

We all love to hear that old, classic story of the boot-strapped self-made billionaire, right? It inspires us all to think that anyone can achieve anything if they just work for it hard enough.

The trouble is, that isn’t usually true. Sure, every so often someone might pull off the unthinkable, but generally, most very successful people have had help somewhere along the way.

For many people, that often means having been born into a family that already has considerable wealth.

This is definitely the case for each of these 5 “self-made” billionaires that are regularly touted as having done all the work by themselves.

Recently, one man decided to break apart why each of the people on this list isn’t as self-made as they might want you to believe.

1. Jeff Bezos

We all know the story of Amazon, right? Jeff Bezos founded the company in 1994 in his garage. It’s pretty impressive!

Well, the truth is, Jeff had a hefty investment from two wealthy benefactors: his mom and dad.

2. Bill Gates

As Aidan explains, this “rags to riches” storyline is often found in the biographies of the rich and famous.

However, it’s not usually entirely… true.

Oh yeah… Bill had A LOT of help.

Sure, Bill Gates has skills, but he definitely had significant help along the way.

3. Warren Buffet

Warren is a well-known investor, and his whole story goes like this: he was a scrappy kid who was just really good at investing.

Except, well, his dad was… a pretty big deal.

If you want to see something REALLY eye opening… look at how much wealth Buffet had accumulated by the time he left… HIGH SCHOOL.

4. Mark Zuckerberg

Many people know the general story surrounding the founding of Facebook. Mark started the site when he was in college. Precocious, right?

Well, Mark was getting by on more than just his brain.

The tuition for the school he attended alone was more than many families make in a year.

He was also fortunate to already be in the right social circles.

5. Kylie Jenner

Kylie has managed to build a massive cosmetics empire by a young age. It’s really impressive!

But there’s no denying that she comes from a wildly successful and wealthy family.

Without the connections afforded to her by her family, it’s not likely that she would be in the position she is today… just like everyone else on this list.

Can you believe some of those stories?

It’s truly impressive what each of these people has built, and it’s also worth knowing how they got to where they are.

Don’t forget to share this eye-opener with your friends, and let us know which part surprised you the most in the comments!
