The retaliatory strikes on Friday was a response to the drone attack in Jordan by militias in Iran‚ that killed 3 US soldiers. The strikes...

When people think of golden retrievers they generally visualize a very happy‚ friendly dog. Most golden retrievers you encounter are just excited to be around people but apparently‚ they can get upset when you try to take away their Hot Cheetos. At least that's what one owner discovered when her dog got ahold of a snack sized bag of the spicy snack.Josie who runs the TikTok account josie_kamdan uploaded a video of her dog Ben holding a bag of Flaming Hot Cheetos that he's refusing to give up. The woman is shocked by the dog's mean mug and growl‚ but Ben is serious about eating the rest of his snack that he stole fair and square. "Give me them‚ give me your Hot Cheetos. You cannot eat them. You cannot eat them‚" she repeats before laughing and deciding it's best to let him keep them. People in the comments were also shocked to see a golden retriever show any emotion besides happy. "This is making me realize I've never seen a golden retriever mad‚" someone writes."I've never seen a golden retriever growl‚" another says.Other people had ideas on why the pooch may have been acting out of sorts–red dye. The super sneaky behavior modifier that can cause a happy-go-lucky golden retriever to turn into the devil. At least that's what some are saying‚ while others had a much more practical answer."Red dye does it again‚" a commenter laughs. "That red 40 got him tweaking‚" someone jokes. "Resource guarding. My Aussie did that with my frappuccino‚" someone writes as others back up her statement. @josie_kamdan he will not surrender the hot cheetos #dogsoftiktok #dogtok #goldenretriever #hotcheetos The behavior of resource guarding has different causes but one of the typical reasons a dog resource guards is due to anxiety according to the Humane Society. In a follow up video she addressed the comments about resource guarding and explained that he's never behaved like that before which caused her nervous laughter. No worries‚ she was able to get the Cheetos away from him with distraction and he spent zero days in doggy jail.

If you ever find yourself lamenting how long it takes to make yourself look presentable these days‚ be glad you weren’t alive in 1857. A woman who goes by @sewn.by.ellen describes herself on Instagram as a “fashion historian and historian costumer” recently posted a video captioned “Getting dressed in 1857‚” and suffice it to say‚ the process was much lengthier and more complicated than whatever you have going on these days.The Swedish content Swedish content creator begins the video wearing “chemise and drawers‚” which she describes as the layers that would be closest to her body and washed most frequently.Next is the corset‚ which @sewn.by.ellen says “creates the correct shape for the time and also supports the bust and makes my posture so much better.”If you’re already feeling sweaty‚ hang in there‚ we’re just getting started! View this post on Instagram A post shared by @sewn.by.ellen ​Next comes the “steel crinoline” which is perhaps the most unusual-looking piece of this outfit‚ given that it looks like a cage more than a garment.But evidently‚ the steel crinoline was an improvement for ladies of the day who were used to creating the exaggerated shape afforded by the crinoline with a multitude of petticoats.“The skirts in the 1850s were large and supported by several petticoats‚ sometimes up to 7 at once‚ so when the cage crinoline was introduced in 1856‚ it was a big relief for women. It’s made out of a connecting series of steel hoops and as you can see‚ it’s very light and foldable‚” she explains.Then she puts on a petticoat‚ just one‚ which fits over the cage crinoline‚ and then sleeves (the sleeves of the dress are their own separate garments because why not) and then the skirt of the dress and then the bodice followed by a bonnet.By the end‚ there is very little flesh showing—pretty much just her face—and she cuts a gigantic‚ one assumes very fashionable for the time‚ figure.The video went viral‚ having been viewed 5.3 million times. Commenters had a lot of questions‚ many of them having to do with how to handle the call of nature. “How in the world did they go to the bathroom?” asked suematkins2“All I can think is by the time I got that all in [sic]‚ I’d need to pee and I feel that would be quite a challenge‚ but it’s a beautiful outfit. I love the old fashion style!” said shannon_mcbroom.Other commenters couldn’t help but wonder about how hot the getup might be.“I’m grateful to live in more casual times. It looks kind of hot and restricting‚” wrote cynthiaparbury. “I can’t wrap my head about [sic] women in that day having hot flashes w/ all those layers!” said duggbar“What about the summer - so many layers of clothes” wrote danielline.philipine.And then there were those who commented on how long the whole getting dressed process must have taken. “I would be late for work every day‚” theghostofmisswillmott said. (Some commenters replied that women likely weren’t heading off to work in these days.)“Makes you appreciate how easy we have it today in terms of easy-to-wear clothes. I don’t like taking longer than two minutes to get dressed‚” said myladyscribbler.“By the time she finishes she has to put on her nightgown‚” said shivashab. “I am from 1850‚ and I am still getting dressed for work‚” quipped sinneahartmusic.The historically accurate dress was made by hand by the creator who has degrees in fashion studies and museum studies and who says she sews both as a hobby and for work. The video and its popularity serve as a fascinating reminder that having to pull it together to look presentable for your Zoom call when all you want to do is sit around in your pajamas‚ you know‚ hypothetically‚ is really not all that bad.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a cat? To watch the world from less than a foot off the ground‚ seeing and hearing things humans completely miss‚ staring out the window for hours while contemplating one of your nine lives?Well‚ thanks to one person‚ we need wonder no more—at least about what-they're-seeing part.The TikTok channel Mr. Kitters the Cat (@mr.kitters.the.cat) gives us a cat's-eye view of the world with a camera attached to Mr. Kitters' collar. And the result is an utterly delightful POV experience that takes us through the daily adventuring of the frisky feline as he wanders the yard. In a video titled "Spicy cats‚" which has more than 74 million views on TikTok‚ we begin with the cutest cat sneeze ever. Then we hear Mr. Kitters' meow as we walk with him through the grass before the scene switches to a thrilling‚ yowling cat chase he witnesses across the yard (while tucking himself even more securely under the bush he's in). The best is seeing his kitty paws as he walks and then digs in the mulch. And there's apparently something very exciting that needs to be pounced on right along a chain link fence. Watch and enjoy: @mr.kitters.the.cat Spicy cats 🌶️ #fyp #cat #meow The commenters made their delight known."I love how he saw the cat fight and was like that's not my business today‚" wrote one person."WHEN HE DIGS WITH HIS LIL PAWS‚" declared another."People: Cats only meow at humans." Mr Kitters -Meows at everything-" wrote another. And of course‚ countless people responded simply to the sneeze with "Bless you."Mr. Kitters has other POV videos as well. This one demonstrates how chatty he is and shows his black cat buddy as well. @mr.kitters.the.cat “What do you want?” “Nothing!” #fyp #cat #meow It really sounds like he says‚ "Let me in‚" doesn't it? And this "extreme sports" video is riveting. @mr.kitters.the.cat Extreme sports 💀 #fyp It's funny how something as simple as putting a camera around the neck of a cat can draw in tens of millions of people. We're all so curious about the lives of the creatures we see every day‚ and the adorable quirkiness of cat behavior is a big part of why we keep them as companions in the first place. Seeing the world through their point of view is just one more way we can enjoy and learn about our pet friends.This article originally appeared on 6.15.23

Some kids can wow us with their abilities‚ from being precocious philosophers to musical prodigies. Whether a child's extraordinary talents are due to "nature" or "nurture" is always a big question mark‚ but there's no question that some kids stand out among their peers for the things they can do. Sometimes they even stand out from grownups. Take young Aldie‚ for example‚ whose ability to articulate his feelings exceeds many adults. When you find out he's barely 4 years old‚ hearing him calmly talk about his emotions and good choices is all the more remarkable.Aldie's mom‚ Jonisa Padernos‚ tells Upworthy that she's felt he was "really special" since he started talking in full sentences at 20 months. "Believe it or not‚ he had no major tantrums in his toddler years because he was always able to express [himself] with his words‚" she says. Padernos started young‚ asking Aldie questions and giving him time to answer without interrupting. "I’d always ask his opinion or feelings towards something and I don’t rush him to answer‚" she says. "I give him time and just listen. I make sure I also tell him how I feel and explain to him because I think kids copy us‚ and if we do that‚ they would think that it’s normal to feel all those emotions as long as you can express it with words and [are] able to process it."Check out the conversation between Aldie and Padernos at bedtime as he goes through a recap of his emotions that day‚ which has racked up more than 17 million views on TikTok. @mom_aldie Bedtime conversation. The last part made me ❤️🥹 #fyp #momlife The way Aldie shared what he was feeling about his mom not letting him go outside‚ how he helped his papa make a better choice with his emotions‚ and how he described the different emotions he feels is more than most adults can muster when they've had "a hard time doing emotions" during the day. And the way Padernos listens and reflects and reassures him is so‚ so beautiful. People in the comments agreed."Emotionally intelligent‚ articulate and able to string super sophisticated sentences together‚" wrote one commenter on Instagram. "I taught 7-year-olds that weren’t this advanced - heck‚ most adults aren’t this emotionally intelligent. I have confidence in his future and the consequences are working beautifully Mama. We have to raise kids other people will like too. 😍👏""Wowwwww….. I’m so amazed by this baby’s EVERYTHING … the emotional intelligence‚ the vocabulary‚ empathy‚ the processing skills…all of it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️" wrote another. "The most mature conversation I’ve heard about emotions - tbh I don’t think I’ve ever been as honest about my feelings as this little one was 🙌🏽 feeling so inspired by both of them. ♥️🫶🏽✨" shared another. There's a lot that parents can do to help their children develop this kind of emotional intelligence‚ and this interaction between Aldie and his mom is a prime example. "My advice is just be present‚ encourage kids to tell you how their day was or anything‚ listen and give them time to express without rushing‚" says Padernos. "Be patient‚ consistent and honest when communicating with them. Always remember that kids mirror us and so we have to show and express our emotions so they will be encouraged to also express their feelings to us. And when we get mad or frustrated‚ also let them know and explain why and apologize if you feel that you’ve let your emotions get in the way."While not every child will be able to understand and articulate as clearly as Aldie did at such a young age‚ most kids are far more capable of understanding and processing emotion than we give them credit for. Proactively teaching them how to communicate what they're feeling and explaining how emotions work can go a long way toward helping them develop the self-regulation tools they'll use throughout their life.

There remains some mystery around what life was like in the 1800s‚ especially for teens. Most people alive today were not around in the Victorian era when the technologies now deemed old-fashioned were a novelty. In this rediscovered 1970s clip from the BBC‚ two elderly women reminisce about what it was like being teenagers during a time when the horse and buggy was still the fastest way to get around.While cars were just around the corner from being the common mode of transportation toward the end of the 19th century‚ it's pretty wild to imagine what these women experienced. Frances "Effy" Jones explained how‚ at age 17‚ she was encouraged by her brother to check out this new machine in a storefront window. Turns out that machine was a typewriter and‚ after being trained on how to use it‚ Jones would sit in the store window typing while people outside gathered to watch. Before long‚ classes began popping up for women to learn how to use a typewriter‚ starting a new movement for women of that era.The second woman‚ Berta Ruck‚ told the BBC that she would get into a bit of trouble at boarding school for drawing instead of completing school work. This talent took Ruck to art school in London where she rode buses around town‚ attempting to avoid mud getting on her long skirt. But the woman explained that it never worked and she would spend hours brushing the mud from her skirt before wearing it out again. I'm sure you're thinking‚ buses? They weren't the buses we would see nowadays. These were double-decker horse-pulled carriages.I know‚ that's hard to imagine. That's why you should check out the video below:This article originally appeared on 08.29.22
