Online shoppers have been sharing their most baffling Temu purchases, and the results are a mix of delight and confusion. Items like a transparent cat backpack and a gadget that slices bananas into perfect coins have made the rounds. Others are just so oddly specific that you have to wonder who thought them up.
What's the most bizarre thing you've ever ordered online just because it w…
Just outside Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, the Jurassic Jungle Boat Ride has been described by theme park enthusiasts as one of the worst attractions in the country. The experience begins before you even board: a small crowd waiting in the queue turns out to be mannequins placed there to create the illusion of popularity. Once inside, the boat glides through pitch darkness past decrepit di…
Apple has added a one-time purchase option called "Buy More Usage" to its Logic Pro software, priced at $49.99.

This writer used to scramble for extra seating every holiday, dragging in a folding table from the garage whenever guests exceeded six. Then they found an extendable dining table that comfortably seats 10 people, and it has become a permanent fixture in their home. The piece is described as a forever piece.
What's your go-to solution when your dining table is too small for guests?
Researchers have observed a quantum state where light behaves like a solid crystal while still flowing without friction, and they achieved it at room temperature. This overturns a key practical barrier that usually forces such exotic quantum experiments into extreme cold. The finding could help bring light-based computing and sensing technologies closer to reality.
Ran a ten-man drone line into a choke point last night, picked up two chassis kits and a targeting relay off the guys we dropped. The part that worked was when my forward scout actually stayed on the flank order instead of drifting into the open like it usually does. Got one clean trade before the control point flipped.
The thing that pissed me off was the respawn timer after a swarm wiped us; you lose the fight and then sit there fifteen minutes watching the other squad hold the node because their artillery drones kept the whole sector locked. Felt cheap, not hard.
Played Delta Force for the first time last night. The moment I finally got the intel case and had to cross an open stretch of ground with two teammates covering me actually felt tense, like every step mattered.

The class choices look good on paper, but once you're in the field the differences blur. I picked a recon operative and still ended up doing t…
Hannah Bayliss, known as @thatstonecottage, transformed her bathroom under the eaves, which had one sloped side and a tall other half. The space went from an "echoey wall-to-wall white" to a bright, floral makeover. Have you ever tackled a room with sloped ceilings or awkward angles?
What's your go-to trick for making a small or oddly shaped room feel bigger?
An English mayor played detective to catch a thief stealing 18th-century capstones from a village wall. Around 30 stones worth $9,000 went missing over months from a 300-year-old wall along a half-mile road in Rufford. The mayor used a hi-tech tracker and some trickery to solve the case.
