There Are More Than 600 Fly-In Neighborhoods in the U.S. Where You Can Park Your Plane in Your Own Driveway

A few years ago, I decided to treat my dad to an item on his bucket list.

He had always wanted to fly in a hot air balloon, but since my mom wasn’t interested in joining him, he didn’t expect it to happen.

Well, although I don’t much care for heights (or flying), I decided that I couldn’t let my dad miss out on such an adventure, so for his birthday I arranged a hot air balloon ride.

We went out to a rural part of the state where our balloon pilot lived and launched his balloons from his own front yard.

Even more amazing than that, there was a big grassy runway down the middle of his neighborhood, where all the families in the neighborhood could take off in their private planes!

I had never heard of such a thing, but apparently residential airparks, or fly-in communities, are actually more common than I would have ever imagined.

In fact, late last year, TikTok mom Sara Cormier, under the handle @TheSoulFamily posted a video about one such community near Cameron Park Airport in California, and it kind of blew the Internet’s mind.

According to Bored Panda, these residential airparks sprouted up after WWII because so many veterans had been trained as pilots during the war.

Flying enthusiasts flock to these communities, and because it’s super convenient, they don’t even have to store their planes at the airport–they actually have hangars right in their homes alongside car garages.

In her video, Sara shows how the streets of these neighborhoods are built wide enough so that the planes can actually just taxi right to the airport for take-off.

“Every road is ginormous. It’s almost as if you have no idea where you should even be driving.”

They’re so wide, in fact, that not only can a plane with a substantial wingspan drive down them, but there is room for cars to share the roads too.

Bored Panda further explains that there are over 600 such neighborhoods in the United States, and in neighborhoods like these:

The street signs and mailboxes are lower than normal so that the planes won’t knock them down with their wings, and the streets have names related to aviation, like Boeing Road.

I’m kind of obsessed with this now.

In her first video, which has been viewed almost 5 million times, Sara wasn’t lucky enough to catch a plane out on the road that day.

@thesoulfamily

Have you seen a neighborhood like this? #aviation #airplane #airport #takeoff #hanger

But after one commenter asked her to try and get one on video, she was more than happy to oblige.

Check it out!

Reply to @kinmut here you go!

In addition to these plane videos, Sara also posts a lot of other wholesome content, like her sons giving food reviews and her own personal advice to parents hoping to adopt.

One of her boys wears a NASA hoodie pretty frequently, so I think maybe the aviation bug is contagious.

What do you think of these airport neighborhoods? Does it kind of make you want to move out to the country and learn to fly? Tell us in the comments!

A Genetically Rare Chimera Kitten Was Rescued in Tennessee

I had a cat who seemed like he had two different personalities when I was growing up.

Sometimes he was sweet and cuddly, and other times he had the devil in him.

But last March a kitten was found in Nashville, Tennessee that really was essentially two different cats fused into one.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki

Her name is Apricot, and though she hasn’t had a DNA test to prove it, her rescuers believe her to be what’s called a “chimera.”

Although “chimera” sounds more like a mythological monster than a sweet, cuddly, kitten, according to My Modern Met, Apricot is half tortoiseshell and half ginger tabby, while her brother is just an ordinary tortoiseshell.

She looks like two cats merged into one, and in fact, that’s exactly what she is. Apricot is a rare chimera cat, which means she was born with two sets of DNA. She’s the result of two embryos fusing together inside her mother’s womb. In other words, Apricot is technically two fraternal twins combined into one individual cat.

How amazing is that?

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki

Apricot was rescued along with her brother, Pretzel, from inside the wall of a newly constructed home.

When the mama cat didn’t return for them, the family contacted the Nashville Cat Rescue, who quickly placed them with Kiki, a cat foster mom who also happened to have two nursing females perfect for Apricot and Pretzel.

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki

Kiki fosters lots of cats, but she had never seen one quite like Apricot.

Even so, the kittens were made to feel right at home.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki

The goal of Kiki and her partners at Nashville Cat Rescue is to stop the cycle of feral cats having litter after litter that need more and more homes to take care of them.

She cares for the cats (and some dogs, too!) until homes can be found, ensuring that the adult cats are spayed before they leave foster care.

A post shared by @kittenitwithkiki

The end goal for Kiki is to find good homes to adopt the kitties, and that’s exactly what she did for Apricot and Pretzel.

They stayed with Kiki and their furry foster family for a little over two months before being adopted out to their forever home at the end of May.

And if you’re heart broken that you didn’t get to be the one to adopt them–you can still buy a mug of the unique kitty, with proceeds going to support the continued care of all her feline friends.

These Wedding Rules Went Viral on TikTok and There’s a Lot of Bride-(and Groom)-zilla Energy

I’ll never forget some advice that a family friend gave on a wedding day.

I say “a” wedding day, because we attended so many together that I can’t remember if it was first said on MY wedding day, or a friend’s, but he said, “No matter what happens, at the end of the day you’ll be married, and that’s the whole point.”

It’s so true, and yet something that is easily lost in all the excitement and stress of wedding prep, and I have repeated it to friends myself.

Those words may stop a panic attack on the day, but they won’t necessarily stop most people from over-planning their perfect day, as evidenced by the recent TikTok trend #weddingrules where brides and grooms to be offered their list of rules, both silly and serious, for their special day.

This self-proclaimed Bridezilla offered a pretty standard list of rules that emerged as themes throughout the other videos.

@xoxoarshi

yes I’m gonna be a bridezilla and no i don’t care because my wedding my way. #weddingrules #fyp #foryou

♬ Elevator Music – Bohoman

I didn’t know “Don’t wear white” needed to be said outside of Schitt’s Creek, but enough people listed it that apparently it does.

Even this girl who actually DID want kids at her wedding felt the need to say “no white.”

@_roseygirl

#greenscreen my wedding rules pt.1 #weddingrules #fyp

♬ original sound – Rose

And the “no kids” policy seems like the number one most divisive rule of wedding planning.

Personally, I can see it both ways, and I just think people shouldn’t be offended by the couple’s wishes.

It definitely wasn’t an across the board thing. Some people really do want kids at their wedding, especially if it’s kids that they know.

@yomrants

tell me your wedding rules #greenscreen #weddingrules #wedding #yomrants

♬ original sound – Myah Elliott

But “no random plus ones” definitely emerged as a theme.

In addition to the standard set of rules, there are other no-brainers like turn off your cell phone and don’t show up late.

@that_emo_kid_izzy

This is list 1/2 so tell me if you want see the rest #greenscreen #gaywedidng #weddingrules #myweddingmyrules #gay #girlinred #bi #trans

♬ My wedding my rules pt 1 – Izzy

And a lot of people also stressed that in addition to not wearing white OR the bridal colors, you weren’t allowed to wear jeans.

If I recall, I may have actually explicitly told my uncle he WAS allowed to wear jeans, although it was 105 degrees the day I got married, so I’m a little surprised no one showed up in shorts.

@dalecsander

Also be nice to the caterers #fyp #dalecsander #weddingrules

♬ original sound – DAleCsander

A distaste for the weird garter toss tradition was also pretty common, and individuals planned to avoid it for a variety of reasons.

Another theme that emerged was that people didn’t want long speeches and they especially didn’t want surprise announcements like other peoples’ engagements or pregnancies.

Again that just seems like common courtesy to me, but I guess sometimes it needs to be spelled out.

Unlike most people, this person doesn’t even want a bridal party.
(And she’s dead serious on the “no announcements” rule.)

@missyeah

I woke up and chose unhappy family #weddingrules #weddingplanning #newlyengaged

♬ SugarCrash! – ElyOtto

Some people had very specific criteria, like this girl, who wants a flower wall for pictures (very cool idea), a sick Air B and B in the mountains (nice), and guests’ attire to follow a color scheme (maybe too far).

@mirandandersonphoto

I still have so many more so like for pt 2 #weddingtiktok #weddingrules #weddingideasforyou #vancouver #fyp

♬ original sound – Vancouver Photographer Miranda

Others responded to the viral hashtag, which has had over 61 million views, with silliness, like this guy who wants a One Direction themed wedding.

@williamsheats

Y’all are all invited btw #weddingrules #foryou #onedirection #louistomlinson

♬ original sound – williamsheats

This one is pretty ridiculous, but I like where she’s going with her first rule.

@reneecarrot

#greenscreen #weddingrules #fyp #foryou #OverShareInYourUnderwear

♬ Drive Forever – Remix – Sergio Valentino

And this girl doesn’t want to get married, she wants to get married in a Schitt’s Creek episode complete with Dan Levy.

@victoriagarrick4

*not me not even being engaged* #weddingrules #weddingruleschallenge

♬ original sound – Victoria Garrick

All in all, I’m mostly just glad TikTok wasn’t around when I got married.

Personally, unlike some users, I think wedding is for your family, not for you, and personally, I think everyone would be a lot happier if they just eloped.

Was This Person a Jerk For Telling Their Daughter She’s Getting What She Deserves? People Weighed In.

You deserve it!

Nobody ever wants to hear those words directed at them and now a dad is second-guessing what he said to his daughter.

He took to Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole?” page to see what readers there thought about what he said.

Let’s take a look.

AITA for telling my daughter that she’s getting what she deserves?

“I (58m) have two daughters. One from a previous marriage and another from my wife’s previous marriage. Both daughters are around the same age (think mid-twenties).

My daughter Allie has never gotten along with her stepsister Johanna. If Johanna invited Allie to a movie, Allie was suddenly super busy and had no time. If Johanna wanted to come with Allie to a party, Johanna wasn’t invited and there was no way she could bring her. She’d rip up Joanna’s things and would blame Johanna when she’d be grounded.

Just the run of the mill petty teenager bullstink. Johanna was a good sport and always seemed to take things on the chin. Her explanation was always that “sisters fight”. Until about maybe three or four summers ago Allie was home from college and was going through a rough breakup that was causing her grades to tank which put her on academic probation.

Allie was upset and was taking it out on everyone, especially Johanna. My wife and I told her to cut it out and she seemed to catch on that her behavior wasn’t gonna be accepted.

Come to find out after Allie leaves to go back to college that she’d completely destroyed Johanna’s scrapbook with pictures of her dad and destroyed a lot of the shirts she had left of his. Johanna didn’t make a stink about it in front of us but that night the house stunk of E6000 and mod podge.

You could guess what she spent the night doing. After that incident Johanna had completely given up on Allie. Allie has a birthday coming up, Johanna wouldn’t even sign the card. Allie is in town for the weekend, unless it’s a holiday or family event, Johanna wasn’t there. And honestly we didn’t blame her.

Now the issue is that Allie wants Johanna to let things go and let bygones be bygones. Johanna is getting married soon, and Allie wants an invite. It was brought up this past week at a family dinner (Johanna and her fiance as well as their son attended/Allie and her wife and two girls attended as well).

Allie brought up how the kids were the same age and how it’d be cool after the wedding if the kids could hang out. Allie also asked what she should wear to Johanna’s wedding and if she’d be a bridesmaid. Johanna pretty much laid it out for Allie that she wasn’t coming and that the kids wouldn’t be seeing each other outside of family events.

The night was pretty tense afterwards and I asked Johanna if there was any way she could forgive Allie. She said she wanted nothing to do with her and I told her I fully understand that she carries a lot of hurt from how Allie treated her. Allie came to me after Johanna left and pretty much begged me to convince Johanna to move past things.

I told her that had she been a more considerate and kind person back then that maybe she’d have a chance at a relationship with her stepsister. I told her that she made her bed and she needs to lay in it. She said I’m a a-hole and that any good father would want to see his kids reunite.

AITA for telling her she deserves this?”

And here’s how folks reacted on Reddit.

This reader said, quite simply, that everyone except Johanna SUCKS in this situation. Ouch…

Another person agreed and thinks that Allie needs to make peace with her sister.

This individual said that these actions were simply sadistic. Thoughts on this comment?

Photo Credit: Reddit

And finally, this reader pointed out that this isn’t the first time this has happened and that the dad seems to let Allie do whatever the hell she pleases. Not cool!

Was this dad too harsh?

Or were his actions justified?

Mars Isn’t as Red as You Might Think

Mars is called “The Red Planet” because of the way the surface shows up a rusty color in the images we get from the many NASA probes and expeditions we’ve been lucky to successfully launch.

What if I told you, though, that’s it’s really just the dirt – that the redness of the planet is actually only a few millimeters thick?

The close tie between Mars and the color red is nothing new; in Sanskrit, the word for ‘red’ and ‘Mars’ are literally one and the same. In Egyptian, too, the word for the planet means “red one,” and even with all of the great photographs we have now, all we see is red everywhere we look.

Image Credit: Pexels

The red is likely the result of dust particles in Mars atmosphere, which is much thinner than the one on Earth and allows for greater absorption at short optical wavelengths than at longer ones.

It also allows larger dust particles to scatter longer-wavelength light more efficiently.

The dust on Mars is high in reflectivity, represents bright soil deposits, and is rich in iron – which is to say, it contains large amounts of ferric oxides.

The most common type of dust is made from nano-crystalline red hematite, and is made up of small enough particles that the rapid Martian winds have no trouble sweeping large amounts of it around and even up into the atmosphere.

They also continually sweep over the surface, changing the landscape and features in both color and shape on a regular basis.

Image Credit: MARS GLOBAL SURVEYOR MOLA TEAM

Then two scientists, one of whom was Carl Sagan, figured out why – the red layer we see on Mars’ surface is just a thin dusting of, well, dust and sand. It easily travels short distances, moving from higher to lower elevations or staying on like elevations, and is often blown off areas with steeper slopes onto flatter ones, changing the brightness of the color briefly.

The layer of dust that gives Mars its color, then, is only a few millimeters thick – even at its thickest, in the Tharsis region, it’s only around 7 feet deep.

More recent expeditions involving landers and rovers on Mars have proved, of course, that the red of Mars isn’t uniform at all, with much of the planet appearing more orange or even a butterscotch yellow up close and personal, with rocks and other deposits showing up an average brown, tan, or gray upon closer inspection.

Image Credit: iStock

If we could wave a magic wand and calm the planet’s atmosphere for long periods of time that dust would settle, and all of those other colors would be visible across the planet, much the way that blues and greens and whites dominate images of Earth from outer space.

Scientists are still looking to figure out the process by which those red hematite particles form, and in big enough quantities to turn the far away pictures red in the first place.

Which means that Mars will probably forever remain the red planet, because it’s the only color that reaches our eyes.

Until, of course, we have the opportunity to relocate there ourselves. Then, we’ll be able to see all of Mars’ true colors for ourselves.

Here’s More Proof That Micromanaging Bosses Never Come Out Ahead

If you’re a manager, you already know there are all manner of employees out there. Especially when you’re managing in food service or a minimum-wage industry, your people run the gamut from teens who are learning a first job to people who are willing to do just the bare minimum in order to get that paycheck.

So, when you nab a teenager who is company-minded and willing to stay for the long haul, most managers know to treat that person like the star employee they are.

That’s not what happened in this story, though, which stars a kid who had been working at a pizza place for 5 years, 4 of them in management, and continues on the same way even as he tackles a full University schedule.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

Then one night, he overheard the general manager telling a manager-in-training they could leave early, even though s/he was supposed to close so that OP could leave by midnight and make it to an early class.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

The GM said no problem, the manager-in-training could leave and OP could just leave at the regular time and he would finish up the next day.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

OP did exactly as he was told, but there was quite the mess left for the next day – something the GM was apparently not expecting (probably because he never did any of the work).

Image Credit: Cheezburger

The GM reprimanded OP, even though he’d only done as he’d been told, and suspended him for two weeks.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

Realizing what he had done, he called him on a Friday night and demanded that he come in to work because there was no on else to cover the shift.

Then he turned in his notice and was never scheduled again – though he did learn that the GM himself had to cover 18-20 hour shifts in his absence.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

Sometimes you have to know when to walk away from a job that just doesn’t appreciate you.

And if you’re a manager like this guy, you spend a lot of time regretting the ones that get away.

Treasure That People Found While Metal Detecting

There’s a little show called Detectorists that centers around a couple of old friends and their frequently fruitless hobby scanning the countryside with metal detectors, ostensibly in search of some great unknown treasure.

The show, of course, isn’t really about metal detectors, it’s about friendship and fulfillment and life and love and all that good stuff. But still – it did get me wondering about people who actually spend their time doing these things, and what they might find out there.

Lucky for me, I don’t have to search long. Reddit is here with plenty of answers.

15. Spoils of war

Dang sun, that’s a whole gun!

We found an entire civil war Burnside Carbine, a soldier’s silver spill, two spurs, hundreds of bullets and more at a Civil War river crossing I found! from metaldetecting

14. Dog tags

Very nice of you to return them.

Bob is heading home to Wisconsin tomorrow. from metaldetecting

13. More dog tags!

Godspeed, Junior.

I just sent home "Jr" to California. The family are thrilled and I can rest easy knowing the right thing is done. from metaldetecting

12. The lost ring!

What a nice little story.

Wow, this was really cool. Landlady saw me metal detecting in the yard and told me she had lost a treasured silver ring she got in Bali 5 years ago in her garden. I found it in an hour, she was almost crying. Detectorists are your friends! from metaldetecting

11. VERY old money

I wonder what that’s worth?

Found 320 year old silver today in the Netherlands! from metaldetecting

10. 15th century jewelry

That’s definitely something for a museum.

Update: The ring I found earlier this year has been identified as late medieval dating around 1450. Due to its age and material I am obliged to report it and auction it to museums. from metaldetecting

9. An 1851 dollar

This had the equivalent buying power that about 30 bucks has today.

My buddy threw his detector down and started this wild and crazy dance. I tried to ask him what he found, but he couldn’t speak. He had to point to it. from metaldetecting

8. Beautiful Squidward

Where did this come from and why?

Random find of the day… Squidward! from metaldetecting

7. Hammered coin

Let’s celebrate by getting hammered!

It’s finally happened. My first hammered. Henry III silver hammered coin ~1250, England. from metaldetecting

6. Real old 7up

Hate to break it to you but that’s probably flat by now.

Not gold, but still a really cool find! from metaldetecting

5. The silver metal

It’s first place in my heart!

Found my first bit of silver! from metaldetecting

4. Diamond ring

Look at it shine.

Finally! It wasn’t a pull tab. from metaldetecting

3. Carnival medallion

Was it law for a while that you had to put an eagle on absolutely everything?

Found in my front yard, live about 5 miles from where the carnival was held! One of my favorite finds so far. from metaldetecting

2. The upvote

As the prophecy foretold!

Was about to give up when I found this mega upvote. from metaldetecting

1. A treasure trove

What a weird way to propose.

From 1 beach with my girlfriend the other night. Both rings are 18k, 1 with diamonds. That’s 7 rings in total! All were shallow with the equinox 800 and 15×12 coil from metaldetecting

The real treasures are the friends we made along the way. Also treasure.

12 People Talk About What It’s Like to Be Transgender

There’s a lot to be said for feeling comfortable in your own skin.

History is filled with people who didn’t, and suffered for it.

But there have also been a great many people, and probably more than we know, who “passed” unnoticed, as the gender they identified with.

A famous example was 19th century Irish surgeon James Barry, renowned in his day, and serving the British military in the rank of Inspector General before he died.

It was only after he died and was being prepared for burial that people discovered the truth.

It’s a difficult thing. No one should have to announce who they are, but no one should have to hide themselves either.

Like James Barry, these 12 transgender people are hiding in plain sight.

1. It’s no one’s business but yours

But it can’t be easy to hide a part of yourself from the people who are close to you.

Image credit: Whisper

2. Feeling safe is so important

No one likes to be talked about. But people love to talk.

Image credit: Whisper

3. Some people just want to feel seen

But, just like society has become more accepting of the gay community,
someday maybe the “stealth thing” won’t feel needed.

Image credit: Whisper

4. Imagine having to navigate romantic relationships

Do you just put it out there? Bring it up on the first date?

Image credit: Whisper

5. Restrooms are stressful even without bathroom bills

Even CIS people hate public restrooms.
Imagine what it must be like for the transgender community.

Image credit: Whisper

6. For some, stealth is fine

As long as you can live your best life as yourself, I say go for it.

Image credit: Whisper

7. It can weigh heavily on your mental health

Whether because you’re keeping a secret, or because you’re not living as your true self.

Image credit: Whisper

8. It’s such a difficult decision to make

You never know how people will react. And you can’t take it back.

Image credit: Whisper

9. Sometimes you get lucky

Especially if your aesthetic fits your form.

Image credit: Whisper

10. It can be a long journey

Sometimes the hardest person to come out to, is yourself.

Image credit: Whisper

11. It’s good to know who you are and what you want

The next step is figuring out how to get it.

Image credit: Whisper

12. So buy the dress, because the second step seems to be Halloween

What better time to be yourself?

Image credit: Whisper

These Cringeworthy Sign Fails Have Us Feeling Very Human

When you run a business, it’s all about building the brand the best way you can. And one of the best ways to do that is through your logo and your signage.

There’s nothing worse than when something goes wrong–it seems like it could cost you a lot of money to do over. Some businesses choose to live with it rather than paying to have it redone.

And who can blame them. When you mess up your only job, how do we know you’ll get it right the second time?

Here are 14 classic examples of cringe-worthy sign fails from the subreddit r/NotMyJob.
