We are inundated with signs, advertisements, and commercials everywhere we turn. Some experts estimate that the average American sees upwards of 10,000 ads a day. That’s a lot of signage! Thankfully, not all signs are trying to sell you something. There are some hidden gems among all the noise that help brighten our day and make us laugh. Of course, there’s a Facebook group called Absurd Signs dedicated to the most hilarious signs found out in the wild. These photos are sure to put a smile on your face and break up the monotony of boring ads and informative plaques that we see every day of our lives.

#1: No Shrinkage Here!

This Subway decided to give up and just put the most unhinged message on their signboard one winter. It reads, “Our subs are six inches even when it’s cold outside.” Oh my! This store’s manager must have been on vacation because there’s no way corporate would have approved this message.

At least it’s true, right? A Subway six-inch sub will always and forever be six inches. Until you eat it. Other people’s six-inchers? Not so much. There’s no shame in that, but it’s not really a fair comparison. Have no idea what we’re talking about? Bless your innocent heart and soul.

We’ve all shaken the hand of someone with a weak grip, and it’s never a good first impression. But have you ever wondered if there’s even more, a hidden meaning behind it? Well, that answer can be found by looking no further than into the world of body language! Learning how to read and use body language can be a game-changer in both your personal and professional life, and looking back, there are so many times in life knowing all this would have helped. In this article, we’ll give you the inside scoop on some of the most important body language hacks everyone needs to know. So sit up straight, uncross those arms, and get ready to learn how to speak volumes without ever saying a word!

#1: Excessive Blinking

Blink and you might miss it! If you notice someone blinking excessively after they’ve finished telling you something, it could be a sign that they’ve just told a lie. This phenomenon is known as “rebound blinking,” and it’s a common indicator of deception.

When we lie, our bodies often react in subtle ways that can give us away. Rebound blinking is one such way. It’s a natural response to the stress and discomfort that comes with telling a lie. Essentially, the liar blinks excessively after they’ve finished speaking as a way of relieving the tension and anxiety they’re feeling.

It’s that time of year to pack your sunscreen and bathing suit and set out for a vacation. Got to get that time in before the kids go back to school, right? To get to some of those remote destinations, however, sometimes requires a plane ride or two (or three) and going through border control of various countries. This can bring on a whole new level of headache; as shown by this Reddit thread, not all flights are over as quickly as we would like them to be. So read on if you want some inspiration to help you appreciate your next plane ride–or if want to be put off from flying forever!

1. How to Make Your Flight Attendant Cry

At least this writer probably can’t remember this moment and only heard about it. Still, big oof. I don’t envy the poor flight attendant; she must have felt horrible. Even as an accident, no one wants to be responsible for a baby being hurt and potentially scarred.

On the positive side, the scar only lasted for a year, and it seems this Redditor made a full recovery. Being a flight attendant seems like one of the most stressful jobs you could have, given the kind of things they have to deal with. Imagine being up in the air with no access to help of any kind until landing; it’s completely their responsibility.

Have you ever traveled to Europe and found yourself biting your tongue? You know, those moments where you’re just dying to tell your European friends what you really think about their culture but don’t want to be rude? Well, fear not, my friends, because we’re here to spill the tea on some things about Europe that Europeans might not be ready to hear. From their obsession with soccer to their confusing love for mayonnaise, there are some things about European culture that just leave us scratching our heads. So we thought we would share some of our observations since Europeans don’t ever have a problem sharing what they think about us…

#1: That European Summer

Whenever I hear Europeans talking about how they don’t really need air conditioning, it kind of blows my mind. I mean, how do you survive without it? Do you just sleep in a bathtub full of ice cubes or something? When all you have ever known is not having air conditioning, it makes sense they’re used to it.

But seeing as the world is only going to get warmer and warmer, these different countries might need to reconsider their hard stance on not incorporating air conditioners into their homes, office, schools, and supermarkets. We’re pretty sure it’s going to be crucial in a few more years…

When you look across the dinner table, do you ever feel like something’s just… off? Trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship, but sometimes gut feelings and nagging doubts can ruin it. Could body language be the silent whistleblower you’ve been ignoring when words fail to provide answers? Could it be how your partner avoids eye contact or your nervous fidgeting that has become a new habit?

#1: Computer Engineer Barbie

The Computer Engineer Barbie doll, introduced in 2010, aimed to encourage young girls to pursue careers in technology. Clad in a stylish outfit with a laptop and smartphone accessories, she represented a positive role model for aspiring young females. However, controversy arose due to the accompanying book, Barbie: I Can Be a Computer Engineer, where Barbie appeared to rely on male colleagues for actual coding tasks.

This portrayal sparked controversy, as it perpetuated gender stereotypes. Mattel decided to discontinue the doll amidst public backlash, ultimately recognizing the importance of promoting more accurate and empowering representations of women in STEM fields. The incident highlighted the need for greater awareness and gender equality in the tech industry and influenced subsequent efforts to empower girls in science and engineering.

Everyone thinks that when they were young was the best decade that ever happened. Well, as a child of the 80s and 90s, I am here to tell you that only one group is right, and it’s us. The 80s and 90s really were an amazing time: giant hair, boy bands, Brendan Fraser in his prime. What’s not to like? We’ve gathered memes and images from around the web to prove to you that the 80s and 90s really were the best of all possible decades. Read on to see if you agree or if we’re just looking back with nostalgia-tinted glasses.

Stay Golden

You know you’re an 80s expert when you see four older women together and immediately think of the iconic quartet of women who make up the Golden Girls, and of the iconic theme song for the TV show. I never even watched the show, and I still immediately started singing along when I read this.

The craziest thing that I recently learned about the Golden Girls is how young they actually are. I always thought they were ancient, partly because their hair and clothing reflect what I remember very old people wearing back then. In actuality, though, the characters, other than Sophia, were fairly young—in their 50s and 60s.

Sometimes it feels like the Internet is full of depressing things: just a non-stop barrage of bad news, angry people, and cynicism. Some days it’s enough to make me want to delete all my social media accounts, throw my laptop in the garbage can, and move to a hut in the mountains to tend sheep and befriend small birds. And while I haven’t written off that idea completely yet, every now and then, I come across a little ray of sunshine online that changes my mind—an island of positivity and kindness that proves that not everything on the Internet is bad. And I want to share one such island of positivity with you: a series of wholesome, uplifting comics by a digital artist named Eckyo. Check out his work below and see if it doesn’t restore your faith in humanity, even a little.

#1: Today Is a Gift

Tell me if either of these situations sounds familiar to you: you are so worried about what is going to happen in the future that you cannot focus on what is happening now. Or you spend all of your time fretting over and regretting what happened in the past.

This sweet little comic is here to remind us that that’s no way to live happily in the here and now. Or, as Master Oogway and a thousand inspirational posters have said: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.”
