Kit Kats in Japan are associated with the phrase Kitto Katsu (きっと勝つ), translated as “You will surely win”, and thus a good luck charm for students. Katsudon (pork cutlet rice bowl) is also known as a good luck food, so people would eat it the night before important events like exams, interviews, etc.

Saccharin was accidentally discovered…

Saccharin was accidentally discovered by a Russian chemist who forgot to wash his hands after working in the lab and noticed his food tasted quite sweet, and after ruling out the possibility of the food being made that way, he concluded that it was due to the chemicals coating his hands.

While many states have an official food or state fruit, Oklahoma is the only state with an official meal. The full meal is upwards of 2000 calories. A bill to repeal the official meal due to health concerns failed to pass.

These High Fashion Designs Are Totally Out of the Box

There are people who pay no attention to high fashion (even if they follow the trends once they reach the plebs), and there are people who absolutely love to see what each designer puts on the runway for the new season.

No matter which you are, I think we can all agree that fashion is also a form of art, and therefore usually has something to say.

When it comes to these 15 designs, though, the jury is still out as to what – Instagram account @hintmag is bringing us the absolute weirdest things on the runway.

15. Y’all I want to be kind.

But this is absolutely horrible.

14. I don’t know where to look first.

And I kind of feel like I shouldn’t look at any of it?

13. I actually love this.

I would have nowhere to wear it, obviously, but still.

12. The gold is stunning.

What if your assets don’t fit in there, though?

11. This is made from recycled ocean plastics.

Sensible AND beautiful. What more could you want?

10. This is as fabulous as it is bizarre.

Those shoes are to die for.

9. I do love hydrangea.

That gold neck thing looks like a dog’s cone, though.

8. Not your basic black.

Those sequins really make it pop.

7. The shoe fits either foot.

There’s some kind of metaphor there, I think.

6. When you want to hide in a garment bag.

And honestly, who hasn’t?

5. 100% I would wear this.

It’s full of secrets.

4. This isn’t for Casual Friday.

This makes a statement.

3. If a 2yo girl designed a dress.

This would be her dream.

2. How is she not cracking up wearing these?

I would not be able to manage.

1. Can one sit in this? Drive?

I’m thinking it’s just a standing dress.

It’s almost like they’re pulling our legs, but we know we’re not expected to actually read that. Right?

Have you ever seen someone actually wearing something like this in real life? Tell us the story in the comments!

Radioactive Diamond Battery Can Practically Run Forever

I’m being a little bit hyperbolic with the title of this article, because the diamond-powered battery in question can only run for around 28,000 years, not forever forever, but when we’re talking about the framework of a human lifespan, well…forgive me.

Basically, if it started powering something today and humanity went extinct, there would still be evidence that humans existed far, far into the future.

The offering comes from U.S. startup NDB (Nano Diamond Battery), and is a “high-power diamond-based alpha, beta, and neutron voltaic battery” that gives devices “life-long and green energy.”

Also? They say it could become a reality in homes everywhere within the next couple of years.

They built the nano diamond battery by combining radioactive isotopes from nuclear waste with layers of paneled nano diamonds. Diamonds have a good heat conductance that moves heat away from the radioactive isotope materials quickly enough to generate electricity.

Basically the layers and layers of diamond and radioactive waste panels equal higher total amounts of energy.

It uses less energy, uses nuclear waste, lasts for years, and only requires the smallest of diamonds…is there a catch, though?

If there is one, it’s to do with logistics. It will require a huge number of batteries in order to power even regular-sized devices, for one, and the other revolves around the safety of utilizing a battery that runs on nuclear waste.

NBD, though, thinks they have the answers we need, right on their website.

NBD believes these batteries will soon power huge things like spacecraft and satellites, as well as regular things like our many, mane LED displays, and be able to be passed down through generations with no loss in efficiency.

Expect to see a working prototype by 2023, people.

And prepare to be amazed.

17 Crazy Professional Fashion Outfits

I 100% support the idea that fashion is art, and is one way that human beings (not just designers) express who they are on a daily basis.

As a human being who doesn’t really get fashion, I stare in wonder – sometimes horrified, sometimes impressed – at the outfits that sometimes parade down a runway.

Which is why I’m in love with the instagram account @hintmag, which finds the absolute wildest pieces of art/fashion and puts them online.

Please, enjoy.

17. This is a real pain in the heel.

Nailed it.

16. These are beautiful.

I’m a little confused about who loves lungs that much, though?

15. These are something else.

Make sure and scroll through them all.

14. Is she…a potato?

I’m open to other options.

13. I don’t need my bag to be looking at me.

There are enough things who shame me the way it is.

12. Once you’re bored of the dress you can have breakfast.

For like, a few months straight.

11. Just pop this on for your partner’s work party.

Everyone will be talking.

10. You’re warm and fabulous.

As long as it’s winter, you’re good to go.

9. My kids would wear this in a hot second.

I probably would, too, ngl.

8. Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “sweater puppies.”

Or maybe it’s just the same meaning. Hmm.

7. That’s definitely a conversation starter.

I’m not going to guess what sort of chats you’re going to have, though.

6. It’s a table! It’s a skirt!

It’s luggage! It’s a dress!

5. Got something to say?

Wear it right on your sleeve.

4. Why sleep in your tent when you can be the tent.

Just skip a step.

3. Yes, give me my space.

Now I don’t even have to ask.

2. Now this is an idea I can get behind.

No more short/tall people shaming!

1. A built in, matching mask.

Who would have guessed how attractive that would become?

Sometimes I can’t tell if these designers are just messing with us, to be honest.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever seen someone wearing? Tell us about it in the comments!
