The record for cereal box dominoes has been broken with 7,000.. watch!

Mae Richardson Elementary School in Central Point, Oregon bought 6,877 cereal boxes to donate to local shelters. It was part of their Community 101 class, but first, they needed to do something else- break a record. The World Record for cereal dominoes is 6, 391. Unfortunately, because of time constraints they couldn’t get Guinness out there ‘officially’ so you’ll just have to know that this is the true world record!

Bad dog! This pup lit up the house!

A dog got too close to the stove top and accidentally lit the whole house on fire! A reminder to clean after you make food, especially if you have a big doggie… watch!

Australia’s ‘dancing goalkeeper’ has moves

In their World Cup qualifying game against Peru, Australia was nervous going into a shoot out. But their goalie Andrew Redmayne, or the ‘dancing goalie’ wasn’t. He has his own way of getting rid of the jitters and performing. Instead of being a sitting duck on the line, he moves about to try to already be on his toes for the ball. Watch him save the game!

How much the Naked and Afraid contestants actually get paid…

Naked and Afraid is the show where people are dumped into the middle of nowhere in the elements with a few items of their choosing and then expected to survive for days on end. Most people dip out immediately once they get hungry or mosquitoes take over their body. Don’t they know that the net the and the machete are musts?! In any event, here is how much they get paid to do the show and show off their survival abilities-

Forget getting “the boot” on your car, now you need to fear “the barnacle”

Aer you the kind of person that gets parking tickets? Well you better be more careful because parking cops aren’t just using the boot anymore, they’ve moved on to something more annoying- “The Barnacle.” It sticks to your windshield and suctions to the glass with a keypad. It has an alarm and a tracking system, so they know if you’re trying to get away! It’s the type of thing that you’ll only get if you have A LOT of parking tickets. And there is an upside, instead of waiting for an entire day for someone to come and remove the boot, you just have to call, pay your fees, and they will type in a code to unlock the barnacle in minutes. Fine. I’ll pay my tickets!

A man built a movie theatre… for squirrels

A man in Detroit realized that squirrels would never get to experience the cinema, so he built them their own little movie theatre for around $500. He used an old tablet and even made a confession stand filled with popcorn and fruit. He put a camera inside so he could so what they were up to, so cute!

Mom THINKS she bought tickets to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers, instead is sadly mistaken

Back in March, a New York mom thought she was treating her daughter to a night with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Turns out she was just one word off.

As documented on TikTok, the duo instead saw the Celtic rock band — the Red Hot Chili PIPERS, who feature three highland bagpipers and a traditional marching snare. So — no songs about California. But it is reported that the two ladies had a great time at the show. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was actually a great time. Disclaimer: we wore masks the whole time

A 67-year-old crowd surfer was dropped at a Killers show

At their show in Manchester, Brandon Flowers stopped the show to see if a 67-year-old crowd surfer who had been dropped was OK. He ran down to where the fans were and talked to the older man named, Billy. He told Flowers, “I’m enjoyin’ mi’ self!” The Killers kicked back into their set, but they’ll never forget ol’ Billy! Here he is below…
