The Basket App Tells You the Best Place to Buy Your Groceries

If your house is like mine, you’ve watched your grocery bill go up, up, and up some more as everyone has been forced to eat, work, sleep, and play at home more often than not.

It’s more important to most of us than ever, then, and the Basket app is here to make sure you’re getting the very best deal for your money.

If you download the app and the sign up/log in, you can choose all of the nearby grocery stores that you’re willing to visit for your shopping trip. You add your items to one basket, then the app will show you the cost of the items at each store, but will also compare the total price of your basket depending on location.

So, if you want to visit more than one store to get all of the best deals, you can.

Or if you want to go for the cheapest overall basket, you can do that too – though you’ll want to take into consideration how far you have to go to shop, too (if you’re not ordering online, all the time at this point).

The prices are submitted by other Basket users, by scanning products in the store or entering prices manually in the app.

Prices could change, items could be out of stock by the time you order, etc – nothing is perfect.

That said, this app makes things way easier than running around town, not knowing which stores have the best deals until you get there to see them in person.

No matter how you choose to shop, the Basket app gives you all of the information you need to make the most informed decision possible, and if you ask me, that’s pretty cool.

Tweets for People Who Are the Hottest Mess

Raise your hand if you think you’re a hot mess.

Now raise your other hand if in trying to raise that first hand you somehow hurt yourself, knocked something over, or set fire to your greater metropolitan area.

It’s ok. I understand. I’m a hot mess, too. Last week I severely injured myself while yawning in the morning. There’s not much that’ll push you harder to say “screw this I’m staying in bed” than that. But a lot of people on the internet are hot messes too, and they turn that hot mess into a hot take, and place that hot take on Twitter for all to enjoy.

Check out these ten tweets by and for people who are just like you, you beautiful disaster.

10. The customer is always wrong

Just because you don’t mean anything doesn’t mean you can’t wreck me.

9. Reset

If I could call a do-over on existence I probably would have ten times by now.

8. Take me away

Imagine having this conversation 48 times a night.

7. I don’t mouth so good

Forget it, I’ll just go ahead and never speak again.

6. Dating in the modern day

Elizabethan courtship etiquette has nothing on the internet age.

5. The big questions

I need to report this original tweet for rudeness.

4. The Devil’s in the details

My demons have resorted to cleaning up just so they have something to wreck.

3. Pain in hindsight

These are the scars that truly never disappear.

2. Time and place

Don’t forget to follow it up with a “haha, but I dunno, man, it’s whatever.”

1. Out of funding

I’m sorry, what the hell app is this?

If you’ve managed to scroll through all of that without disaster, congratulations. Give yourself a high five! Oh, that made you sprain your wrist? And the whole office was watching? Nevermind, just get out of there, I’m sorry.

This is What Happens to Kids When You Let Them Go Barefoot

We’re a “shoes optional” family. We don’t wear shoes in the house, and despite the dog poop landmines, wooden deck, and potential for stepping on a bee, if it’s a warm day, you’re as likely to find my kids outdoors without shoes as with.

Same goes for in the house, though we do opt for socks on cold days!

But while baby and toddler toes are impossibly cute, the temptation to buy almost-equally adorable tiny footwear is definitely there. We buy babies shoes to take those first steps, thinking that it must be easier to walk with shoes on…but it turns out, that way of thinking is flawed, because studies show that walking barefoot is beneficial for a child’s development.

In their early years, a child’s sensory system is growing and changing all the time. Their brains are learning to grow, learn, and adapt, and being able to use all five senses simultaneously is the best way to encourage the process.

Our sense of touch is often seen as less important than the others, but anyone who has ever heard the term “sensory bin” knows that for toddlers, it’s definitely on par with the others.

There are two sensory systems that are super important for little, developing brains – the vestibular system and the proprioceptive system – and walking barefoot helps improve both.

Proprioception is the ability to understand motion and how it relates to our body’s positioning. Receptors in our muscles, joints, and other tissues send signals to the brain, while the vestibular system helps with coordination and balance, along with our center of gravity.

With shoes on, kids aren’t as able to receive input for the proprioceptive system, and input for the vestibular system is diminished, as well. Without tactile sensations, the feedback is muted, the sensors unstimulated – think of what it feels like to walk barefoot in cool grass, to wriggle you toes in the sand, and things like that.

It’s great, it’s new, it gets your neurons firing on whole new levels, and that’s exactly what developing babies and toddlers need.

So if it’s a safe space, even if it’s not entirely clean), forgo the shoes. It will be winter soon enough, and you’ll have all kinds of chances to show off those adorable kicks.

I promise.

Hilarious Moments from the World of Tinder

What’s going on with Tinder?

There’s dating and conversations and hookups, sure, but like, there’s also this entire weird culture around it. Flirting and game playing and pranking and…venmo panhandling? It’s a lot, so if you’re gonna open that app back up, be ready for anything.

Here are fifteen of the types of anything you might want to prepare yourself for in the world of tinder.

15. Duck buddies

Not a perfect rhyme, but a solid effort.

The first creative thought I’ve had… from Tinder

1. It’s the pits

I’d sooner commit to a lifetime of matrimony than matching tattoos.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m pleased to announce I’ve beat the game. from Tinder

Honestly, I’d swipe right on every single one of ’em.

Clueless Dads Who Never Saw The Fail Coming

Dads are many things – protective, funny, gruff, sweet, and yeah, clueless. It’s part of their charm, right?

And you tell me what’s more charming than a guy doing his best, but who never sees a big ol’ fail coming, even though the rest of us can spot it a mile off.

You can’t! Which is why you’re going to love these 12 clueless dads as much as we do.

12. What was he using to swat a fly, a hammer?

Whatever it was, seems like overkill.

11. That’s one way to scar your child for life.

Just one, though. There are more.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B2utqc-lcQT/

10. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Men, I swear.

9. That is not how microwave popcorn works.

Or microwaves in general, for that matter.

8. We’re all getting older, okay?

No judgement.

7. In case you were wondering whether there was a difference.

Because this dad didn’t think he would get busted, either.

6. That…is not going to taste right.

Is it wrong that I kind of want to try it, though?

5. How do you miss that?

It had to be on purpose, right? A joke?

4. What is with that almond milk packaging though?

It’s like they want to confuse people.

3. I choose to believe he was pulling her leg.

The other option is too dumb.

2. Someday that information will come in handy.

Dads live for moments like these.

1. I have no idea what to say about this.

Just…how do you not know that.

View this post on Instagram

I’ve been a stay at home for more than five years. In May, I started working part-time and this morning I had an event that started before school drop off. My husband stayed home and helped get the kids out for school. Apparently, my daughter decided to wear underwear (not just any underwear but thick diaper like training underwear used for potty training) and told my husband they were “short shorts.” Based on her smile and the fact she locked her door while getting dressed, I’m pretty sure she knew they weren’t shorts!! Swipe ➡ to see the messages that followed once I was informed of the situation, plus a picture of my daughter in school in underwear and the message I received from my girlfriend who filled me in on what was taking place! At least my husband remembered to brush the girls teeth and clean their newly pierced ears… so there’s that! 🤦‍♀️😂🤦‍♀️😂 . . . #workingmoms #worklifemomlife #headshake #funnymorning #lifeofaworkingmom #stayathomemom #stayathomemomlife #toddlers #threeyearsold #itsagoodstory #lotsoflaughs #lol #todayparentingteam #todayshow #todayshowparents #buzzfeedparenting #buzzfeedparents #scarymommy

Have you had a bad day lately?

Before you answer, you should probably look at these posts. Because after you see the bizarre ways in which other peoples’ days are going, you might feel prompted to reassess the badness level you assign to your own.

Here are thirteen people who are definitely not having a great day.

11. Bat man

Imagine reading this if you live in a country with an actual healthcare system.

My husband got bit by a bat who found its way into our bedroom in the middle of the night. Here’s our bill for the rabies vaccination with insurance. from Wellthatsucks

10. Beauty and the beach

Oh Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream…

Tried to get a beach sunrise photo. Noticed the sand "art" when editing said photo. from Wellthatsucks

 

9. Degree of difficulty

Make sure you’ve got all the info for your calculations.

When you are from Arizona and think 70 degrees on the beach in Cali doesnt require sunscreen. I. Hurt. from Wellthatsucks

8. Get to the point

There’s something extremely tragic about this but I can’t put my finger on it.

Just picked up the game today…super excited to play. Fell and broke my finger shortly after getting home with it. Fml. from Wellthatsucks

7. Sock it to me

And so begins the walk of shame back home.

Drove 45 mins to the store thinking I had my mask in my pocket. It was a baby sock. from Wellthatsucks

6. The medium is the message

I know that Chick-fil-A has been the subject of a lot of controversy already, but this has to be talked about.

Should’ve saved the money and ordered two medium fries. from Wellthatsucks

 

5. A breath of fresh air

It said “eau de toilette” right on the bottle, what was I supposed to do?

When the perfume you bought your wife for Christmas ends up in the toilet as “air freshener”. from Wellthatsucks

4. Desperate times

We’re still living in a dumpster fire but at least we’re not dealing with this nonsense anymore.

My “bounty” paper towels finally showed up that I ordered at the beginning of quarantine in March for 45 bucks before shipping from Wellthatsucks

3. The hits keep on comin’

Oh quit whining about it, you sound like a broken record.

2. Fit for a queen

Cinderella’s step sisters be like:

The dangers of online shopping. from Wellthatsucks

1. Poo to you too

That dog knows exactly what he’s doing.

Owner should be ashamed for leaving this dog in a car. But I’m hoping that poo sinks deep into the upholstery for good stinky messy measure. from Wellthatsucks

If you’re the kind of sadist who can’t get enough of this stuff, there’s an endless supply over at r/Wellthatsucks.

15 of the Best Takes on Thor: Ragnarok

Do you remember Thor: Ragnarok?

Almost feels like lifetimes ago now, but it’s been just a few years since the wild and hilarious addition to the MCU came to us courtesy of director Taika Waititi. It was a smash hit, making back about five times its budget and earning over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Disney has always been smart with the Marvel franchise, and that includes course corrections when needed. The Thor installments up to that point had been just a little too heavy and somber – the colorama Goldblum-blessed feast of Ragnarok turned that around quick, and the internet noticed.

Of course, you can’t talk fandom without talking Tumblr. Here are just a few of the best Tumblr fan takes on the film.

15. Absolutely Shakespearean

Turns out most people who spend all their time yelling about how they should be in charge don’t actually have that much to offer. Who knew.

14. No spoilers

He’ll just be a little thor in the morning.

13. Origin stories

Don’t you judge me.

12. My cosmical romance

He’s downright chipper by comparison.

https://wesawbears.tumblr.com/post/169428542144/merianymerosmartell-we-all-thought-loki-was-the

11. Green with envy

Something’s not right here.

https://theluckiestclover.tumblr.com/post/169701106876/trickerydickerydock-i-am-diana-odin-hey

10. Heavy times

I’m on my way there too, bud.

9. Yeet and repeat

Help comes in many forms.

https://bi-steverogers.tumblr.com/post/172313219560/thor-oh-we-should-do-get-help-peter-whats-get

8. Dereliction of duty

7. One more thing

Yup, that’s it that’s the vibe.

That’s my secret cap, I’m always confused.

https://ohthisismuchworse.tumblr.com/post/169482455885/i-almost-wish-that-thor-and-bruce-were-captured-by

2. What could have been

You gotta at least shoot this for the Bluray, I mean come on.

https://actual-jamespotter.tumblr.com/post/168229621198/i-fell-down-a-hole-of-reading-stuff-about-this

1. From the page

Finally, some screenplay excerpts for your enjoyment.

https://i-stole-a-time-lord.tumblr.com/post/170168529487/some-highlights-of-the-thor-ragnarok-script

For me, Endgame may hold the crown of best overall MCU movie forever, but this one’s in the top 5 for sure. An absolute blast.

Parents Who Just Really Want Their Kid to Go to Bed

When you’re pregnant for the first time, you might dream of giving that baby a warm bath, nursing him or her as they get sleepy, and snuggling that warm precious soul into oblivion.

Sometimes, that happens – but not most times.

As they grow into toddlers and then preschoolers and you realize that sleep is a thing human beings can only go without for so long, you’ll identify more and more with these 16 parents, who are so, so ready for bedtime.

16. I don’t understand why, though.

But he’s not wrong.

15. You’re reminding yourself, really.

And trying to make sure they’re not psychopaths in ten years.

It’s a joke. None of their lists ever end.

We’re not buying it.

5. He’s living the dream and doesn’t even know it.

Wait thirty years and talk to me, kid.

4. I don’t think Dante ever made it that far.

Think about the people with more than two kids.

3. Because the kids never went to bed.

If they think you have plans they will outlast you every single time.

2. You just bought yourself a sore back, mister.

Because you’re not leaving that room anytime soon.

1. Excellent joke.

Now go to bed.

I’ve been these parents before, and I’m sure I will be them again!

Memes That Are on the Money About Life in 2020

The economy is all over the place and things are looking pretty sketchy right about now.

I’m no expert in these matters but I propose a solution: let’s turn to a meme-based economy. Like cryptocurrencies, except not like that at all, because I honestly don’t understand how those work.

What I’m saying is let’s start treating memes like money and it’ll probably go great! Even if it doesn’t, we’ll have all these memes to laugh at, which will distract us from how not-great everything went. You can’t lose.

To give you an idea of how this would go, I’ve gathered twelve completely random memes and assigned a currency conversion calculation to let you know what I think they’re worth.

12. Mind on my money

Meme value: $1.00

Via: someecards

11. Gettin’ chipped, gotta dip

Meme value: $4.79, the retail price of a family sized bag.

Via: someecards

10. Pupper slumber

Meme value: $4 and gentle pats on the head.

Via: someecards

9. All in the phrasing

Meme value: $2 and the wisdom to know who not to screw with.

Via: someecards

8. Killing it

Meme value: the college fund your parents didn’t end up having to spend on you.

Via: someecards

7. Die laughing

Meme value: your life.

Via: someecards

6. Pain by numbers

Meme value: the price of a set of permanent markers and even more permanent emotional scarring.

Via: someecards

5. Chill pills

Meme value: $50, or a $10 copay with insurance.

Via: someecards

4. I scream

Meme value: priceless.

Via: someecards

3. Phony phone time

Meme value: dog.

Via: someecards

2. Follow your memes

Meme value: an $8 take and bake pizza.

Via: someecards

1. The grudge

Meme value: a forest worth of burn books.

Via: someecards

Some critics have claimed that my system of memes as currency “makes no sense,” and “is wildly inconsistent.” But to them I say – that’s never stopped us before.

Do you think we should replace money with memes? Why or why not?

Tell us your scholarly opinion in the comments.
