Women Share What They Would Do If Men Had a 9:00 P.M Curfew…and the Responses are Heartbreaking

Being a woman is wonderful, but it doesn’t come without serious risks. Too often those risks can be traced back to something that has to do with men and their behavior in public. You know the ones. The men who scream obscenities, “accidentally” bump into our bodies, call us names for rejecting their unsolicited advances, or do whatever it is they do to objectify us and exert their power over us are a problem. So are the ones that stand by and silently watch it happen. It’s why, as women, we live our lives defensively.

We expect and prepare for the worst whenever we leave our homes. We avoid activities we love because we can’t feel safe doing them at night. This is why we avoid public transportation when possible. It’s the same reason we make it a point to travel in packs wherever we go. It’s why we carry mace, or something more stopping with us. We keep our keys in our hands ready to scratch, poke holes in, and gouge anyone that makes us fear for our safety.

When Danielle Muscato went on Twitter and asked women what they would do if men lived under a 9:00 p.m. curfew, as is enforced against women in a few regressive nations, the answers where wholly depressing, and sadly unsurprising.

Photo Credit: Twitter

It’s not that women want to go out and do all kinds of crazy things at night, but if they do, that’s okay. Women want to do the simple things that we should be able to take part in that are missed. Going for a nighttime jog, maybe even with headphones on, would be great. Catching a bus without fear. Going to the grocery store alone at night. They are the kinds of things women immediately relate to, and miss themselves.

Photo Credit: Twitter

What we learn by reading what thousands of women answered is that the world feels, and too often is, dangerous for women.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Without fear of men, women might open doors at night. We might stop off at someplace new for a coffee. Maybe we would even smile more – because isn’t that what so many men keep telling women we need to do anyway.

These 12+ Restaurant Designs Are Truly Terrible

The first thing we notice about restaurants is how they look. This could mean the layout, the signage, the menus, any number of things. So even if the food is delicious, the aesthetic could totally turn you off and make you eat somewhere else.

The people behind these restaurant design fails clearly didn’t think things through…Take a look.

How Often Should You Be Pooping?

The number one question on a lot of people’s minds when it comes to going number two is, “How often should we be going poop?” Is it once a day? Or maybe once in the morning and another time at night? Is there an actual average amount of times per week a person should be pooping?

According to experts, it’s not so much about how often you poop, as it is how regularly you go. Being on some sort of routine is really what counts the most. Whether you go after every meal, or only three times per week, you are still within normal ranges according to Lifehacker. What’s normal for each individual person is far more important than what is normal for everyone else.

What you need to be aware of is when your routine changes. If you’ve been sitting upon the throne regularly every morning for as long as you can recall, and suddenly it becomes an every other day event, or less, you may want to check with your doctor. It could be a sign of IBS, celiac disease, or something missing in your diet. Only a doctor can tell you for sure.

Also, if you are having some trouble going and feeling like you need to “force one out,” don’t! Let things happen naturally. If you’ve been trying to go for more than 10-15 minutes, get up and give it a break, as pushing too hard can lead to hemorrhoids, according to Men’s Health.

So, the upshot is: whether you’re dropping one thrice daily or just three times a week, you’re going poop enough, just so long as you’re on your regular schedule.

The 10 Fastest Animals on Earth Will Make You Feel…Very Slow

What is the fastest animal on Earth? Usain Bolt is definitely the fastest human animal, clocking in at around 25 mph, but compared to animals in the wild, he’s barely moving. Don’t believe us? Check out this list of 10 animals faster than an Olympic champion.

10. A day at the races

Photo Credit: YouTube

Quarter horses reach speeds up to 55 MPH. A lot of different animals come in close to this mark, but quarter horses have a higher top speed than all of them, and they can finish about as fast as they start which is pretty impressive.

9. Catch me if you can

Photo Credit: Wikipedia

On the African Savannah, the Springbok eludes prey by running at high speeds for long distances. They actually get up to 60 MPH, and can stay near that speed for miles if that’s what it takes to avoid being dinner. Like their cousin, the black wildebeest, they have really funky muscle fibers which allow them to be so dang fast!

8. They say I used to be faster

Photo Credit: BBC

The pronghorn used to be considered the second fastest land animal in the world back in the 1940s, but better technology has changed that. However, they’re still way faster than Usain Bolt. They can technically hit 62 MPH, but tend to hang out around 40+ MPH.

7. What’s that up in the sky?

Photo Credit: Wikipedia

Anna’s Hummingbird is a cute little winged thing that is crazy fast once it gets going. It can fly up to 61 MPH over short distances, but when measured by how many body lengths per second (bl/s) it travels, which is up to 320, it’s faster than the space shuttle.

6. I’m not as fast as you think I am

Photo Credit: BBC

Cheetahs are pretty fast, to the tune of 65 MPH, but that comes with a disclaimer. Domesticated cheetahs raised at zoos have gotten to that speed, or close to it, but in the wild, cheetahs tend to run much slower, because it allows greater maneuverability when hunting.

5. My speed is uncommon

Photo Credit: Wikipedia

The common swift can hit speeds of up to 70 MPH when it’s just cruising around at level flight looking for statues to sit on. They may go faster, but there haven’t been many reliable readings of their speed. Even if they don’t though, it’s still pretty impressive!

7. Don’t let the gray on my head fool you

The gray-headed albatross is regarded as the fastest bird at level flight, clocking in at 80 MPH. That’s insane! But here’s the real scoop on it — the record could be the product of a performance enhancer. It seems that the specific gray-headed albatross that was clocked doing 80 MPH had a tailwind of 40MPH, possibly even up to 50 MPH helping it along.

8. I’m fast when I want to be

Photo Credit: la reserva

The Hybomitra hinei wrighti horsefly might reach 90 MPH, according to one researcher. However, while his observations are considered interesting, it’s going to take more than one horsefly chasing a plastic pellet from an air rifle to count as an official record.

9. I want to fly like an eagle, but faster!

Photo Credit: EMNRD

There have been claims that the Brazilian free-tailed bat has gone up to 100 MPH, but they’ve been met with great skepticism. Seven bats were studied, and while all could go at least 55 MPH, five almost reached 70 MPH, and supposedly this one super buff bat clocked in at 100 MPH. Kinda makes you wonder if it had a performance enhancer like that gray-headed albatross did.

10. I’m always first to dinner

Photo Credit: NPS

If you count when the peregrine falcon goes into a stoop, which is a wicked crazy hunting dive for dinner, they can go over 200 MPH! Granted, they only fly around 50 MPH at level, but the diving for dinner thing blows the doors off everyone else.

Whether a dive technically counts or not is up to debate, but either way, that is amazingly fast!

This Little Girl Has Gorgeous and Unusual Eyes Due to a Rare Genetic Disorder

Wherever Mehlani goes, people can’t help but notice her big, beautiful eyes. Her mother, Karina Martinez, must constantly stop what she is doing to listen to strangers tell her how beautiful her daughter is. What parent wouldn’t want their child to receive all this positive attention?

Well, when it comes to Mehlani, those big, beautiful eyes are the product of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome. It is a very rare condition, according to the NIH, that has made her eyes develop differently from most people’s. It’s so rare, Karina had never even heard of it until she was told Mehlani had it.

Photo Credit: Buzzfeed

Her condition makes the iris of her eye appear misshapen. And with her condition comes a high probability of glaucoma, pressure inside the eye that can damage the optic nerve if left untreated – which she does currently have. It also makes Mehlani’s eyes very sensitive to light, and could eventually lead to blindness.

Photo Credit: Buzzfeed

While Karina loves that people think her daughter and her eyes are beautiful, she sometimes wonders if she should tell them why. Usually, she just smiles and thanks everyone for the compliments, even if it makes her feel uncomfortable.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Like most moms, Karina also worries if children will be nice to Mehlani as she gets older. She says some kids are already commenting on how big Mehlani’s eyes are. Most of all, she just wants her little girl to know she is beautiful and loved.

Photo Credit: Twitter

Since her tweets went viral, Karina and Mehlani have received an outpouring of love, and Karina has been contacted by a lot parents who have kids with the same condition. She’s very glad to know that she and Mehlani are not alone!

We (and everyone else) wish all the best for the lovely, little Mehlani!

22+ Plot Holes from Movies That Will Leave You Shaking Your Head

Just because a movie is good doesn’t mean it isn’t without its flaws. Some of the most beloved films in history have more (plot) holes than a piece of swiss cheese. The folks at Buzzfeed recently asked their community about what movie plot holes left them scratching their heads and throwing their popcorn at the screen. Here are the results:

1. Up

The house in Up didn’t begin to float away until the balloons were outside the house. Why does that make a difference? Shouldn’t the house have floated when the balloons were inside? Right?

Photo Credit: Disney

2. All Star Wars Movies

Different planets have different levels of gravity and different atmospheres, but everyone’s running around without a space suit. Shouldn’t someone have exploded? Or at least be mildly uncomfortable?

3. The Last Jedi

Speaking of Star Wars, how was Paige Tico able to drop a bomb on the dreadnought. Since there’s no gravity in space, shouldn’t the bomb have just floated away?

4. The Harry Potter Series

The Marauder’s Map shows the location of everyone in Hogwarts. So why didn’t anyone notice Peter Pettigrew was 1) alive and 2) spending a lot of time with Ron?

5. The Karate Kid

In this inspiring flick about overcoming insurmountable odds, Daniel wins by kicking his opponent in the head. A move which is against the rules outlined earlier in the movie. I guess cheaters sometimes win?

6. Monsters, Inc.

In the original, the two monsters meet in elementary school. In Monsters University, they meet in college. Maybe they forgot?

Photo Credit: Disney

7. Aliens

We all know that Ripley is buff. But holding on to a ladder with one hand to avoid getting sucked into space? Nobody’s that buff.

8. The Little Mermaid

Ariel was able to sign the contract with Ursula, but she didn’t use her writing skills to tell Prince Eric what was going on. Seems like he could have used a heads up.

Photo Credit: Disney

9. 17 Again

Mike’s kids don’t recognize him when he’s 17-years-old again. Even though there are pictures of him at that age around the house.

10. Raiders of the Lost Ark

The Nazis would have found the Ark with or without Indiana Jones. It’s his own movie, and he has no influence on the main plot.

11. Signs

The alien’s weakness is water. So why come to our planet, which is 71 percent water?

12. The Harry Potter Series

Harry spends a lot of time trying to get people to believe that Voldemort has returned. Wouldn’t using the Pensieve have confirmed his story? And saved a lot of time?

Photo Credit: Warner Bros.

13. The Halloween Series

Apparently Michael Myers know how to drive, despite having been institutionalized since he was 10. When did he get a license? Or access to a car?

14. Pleasantville

Where did the visiting basketball team come from? The entire town is only two streets.

15. Cinderella

The entire plot hinges on the fact that her shoes will only fit her feet. How can an entire town not have anyone else with the same shoe size?

Photo Credit: Disney

16. Tangled

The whole plot involves Rapunzel seeing the lanterns on her birthday. Couldn’t the witch have just said her birthday was on a different day?

Photo Credit: Disney

17. High School Musical

Gabrielle gets stage fright before singing her big song. The only problem is, she wasn’t even supposed to sing the first line.

Photo Credit: Disney Channel

18. Ant-Man and the Wasp

How does no one notice an entire building disappearing and reappearing? Hank’s lab keeps moving around the city, and the FBI never notices.

19. Hocus Pocus

Allison, Dani, and Max could have saved themselves a lot of time and trouble by using salt to form a protective circle.

Photo Credit: Disney

20. The Meg

If the submarine just let the megalodons out, how did Jonas see one five years before?

21. A Quiet Place

If the Earth has been taken over by aliens who hunt by using sound, why would they decide to have a baby, a tiny human guaranteed to make an uncontrollable amount of noise.

Photo Credit: Paramount

22. A Quiet Place

Why live on a farm in the first place? They can make all the noise they want to at the waterfall, which would cover up day-to-day sounds.

23. Mamma Mia

In the first movie, Donna essentially says her mother is dead. So who’s in the sequel? Her mother, who is alive and well.

People Keep NOT Recognizing Tony Hawk, and It’s Pretty Hilarious

Tony Hawk is one of the best skateboarders of all time…not to mention a video game tycoon and author. But believe it or not, many people don’t know what he looks like. For reference, here he is:

But Hawk keeps running into people who have no idea that they’re dealing with the man himself. The skateboarding legend has taken to Twitter to share some of the funny stories of people not recognizing him in public.
