Travel Influencer Is Called Out For Her Repetitive Photoshopping

by

In today’s age of social media influencers, everyone competes to get the most likes on their photos. With over a billion accounts out there and the competition stiff for followers, some individuals will go to all means to get their ideal photo. This includes photoshopping up to the most minute of details… like clouds in the background, as did the travel influencer @tupisaravia.

Caught In The Photoshopping Act

Tupi Saravia is a travel influencer and blogger from Buenos Aires, Argentina who has gained over 295,000 followers thanks to her dreamy blue and orange hued travel photos. However, some followers recently became suspicious of the picture perfect beauty in her photos. After taking screenshots of several photos for comparison, it was clear that the same cloud formation appeared in many photos.

The Travel Influencer Confesses

When the photos were brought to the attention of the masses, Tupi Saravia all but shrugged it off. In an interview she admitted that she uses the photo-editing app, Sky Control, to add clouds to her photos. She also said that she has used “an app called Quickshot to help the composition of the photograph when the sky is burned or overexposed.”

Saravia continued to state she was shocked this was such a big deal, for she has always been open about using photoshopping apps. She even shares which apps she uses to her followers who aspire to achieve the same Instagram feed aesthetic.

Making Light Of The “Scandal”

For Saravia and many others, the fact this made headlines was comical. Some even shared tweets about their thoughts, putting a positive and funny spin to her cloud control.

Travel Influencer Gone Too Far?

While most were able to laugh at the situation, some followers were deeply upset to learn of the extreme measures taken for a like-worthy photo. With people being tagged as “influencers,” it does make one question the validity of making people believe the possibility of living in a false reality.

As much as we might hate to admit it, Instagram and the media has created a photoshop obsession for many individuals. An important lesson to think about next time you feel envy scrolling through various influencers’ feeds!

This Homemade Slip N Slide Is A Flipping Good Time

by

Summer might be coming to an end, which means it is time to take advantage of these last few weeks of sweltering days to hit up the water works. While the pool and beach are both fun in their own way, if you’re looking for some real thrills, this homemade Slip N Slide in Norway is the place to be!

The Largest Slip N Slide in Norway

This homemade slip n slide was made by brothers Christian and Svein Torp in the backyard in Oslo, Norway. The original design was only a straight slide from the roof of their house into their backyard pool. These brothers are known for being into action sports like snowboarding and water skiing, and decided to take their talents to the creation of this splash-filled design.

A Megaloop Party

Recently for a big birthday celebration of Svein, the brothers decided it was time to amp up their design, this time with a megaloop. For onlookers, the thought going down the slide and flipping without injury seems borderline impossible. However, we can thank physics for the safe riding on this fun filled spectacle.

First Person Views Of The Slip N Slide

While only invitees were able to soak up the fun on this backyard attraction, viewers around the world could feel like they were on the ride with videos shared by riders. This first person account shared on Instagram shows slow-motion footage just as he gets to the megaloop.

If a giant slip n slide is out of your reach, you can always grab some super soakers and still get in on some splashing action!

Jimmy Fallon and Kate Upton Boogie Back To The 80s

by

Jimmy Fallon is known for providing us plenty of belly laughs with his crazy videos with guest stars on The Tonight Show. Never one to back down a challenge, he and his recent guest Kate Upton decided to take on old 80s dance moves. The duo made sure to dress the part as they copied dances from aerobic videos in this hilarious video.

80s Fitspiration

In the age of Social Media, many individuals have earned a blue check next to their name with fitness instagram accounts. Millions of people follow fitness trainers like Kayla Itsines and Jeanette Jenkins to attempt their heart-pumping workout routines. While it might seem a modern concept, getting in a sweat session to workout videos was a fad that took off in the 80s. Jazzercise and other dance workouts by 80s legends such as Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons were sure to get their audience moving in a colorful, crazy way. What better way to commemorate these memorable exercises than through a joint aerobic dance challenge?

A Color Coordinated Duo

If it’s one thing that stands out about fashion from the 80s, its the bright colors. Jimmy Fallon and Kate Upton knew they couldn’t properly recreate an 80s aerobic dance challenge without an outfit that suited. The two were decked out in headbands, leotards, scrunchies, and leggings of all different colors and prints that made viewers take an instant trip back in time.

A Modern Day Twist

The dance moves that the two performed were beyond ridiculous. It’s no wonder these didn’t make it to the 21st century! However, there were some similarities to some of the dance fads of today. Upton at one point commented, “That’s kind of like the Eighties version of the dab.” After their individual routines, the two then joined forces to attempt some partner routines. In reality there should have been a “don’t try this at home” warning, for some moves just looked outright dangerous! This challenge is definitely not for those who are lacking in the coordination department.

80s Flashdance

Naturally, Fallon and Upton’s routine could not truly be complete without attempting the famous “Flashdance” scene, even using real water. Upton, being a professional model, knew exactly how to pose her body for the scene. Whereas Jimmy... well he tried.

Naughty Penguins Of New Zealand Are The Kings Of Mischief

by

If you thought cats were the most comical and mischievous of creatures, think again. The penguins at the National Aquarium of New Zealand just might take the cake for their impish acts. After the workers had had enough of the penguins misbehaving, they decided to start a monthly tradition of publicly awarding the “naughty” and “nice” penguins of the month. The latest winners became the source of hilarious tweets and memes of people deciding to “cancel Mr. Mac.”

Shocking, we know! Stealing fish from his blind girlfriend?! Not cool Mr. Mac, not cool.

Popularizing The Penguin’s Bad Behavior

The tweet shared by @puppy_eggs criticizing Mr. Mac’s devious exploits gained over 334k likes! However, this is not the first time the penguins have become famous for their devilish acts. Back in June 2017, someone shared the first “naughty and nice” penguins which became shared throughout the internet. However, unbeknownst to most, this wasn’t a one time award. The nicest and naughtiest penguins are actually awarded every month at the aquarium!

The Funniest Crimes Of The Penguins

Each month the Aquarium shares the awards for the naughtiest and nicest penguins on the Aquarium’s Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. The following are some of our favorite “crimes” over the past few years.

To be honest, we all are guilty of being a Mo on the weekends.

Turns out there are even Casanovas in the Animal Kingdom! Whereas Dora, we totally feel you.

We are laughing just at the thought of Dave pecking at this poor visitor. Should have shaved for the occasion!

A Happy (Feet) Ending

Although this might change your thoughts on penguins (wait, they’re not like the singing and dancing creatures from “Happy Feet”?), it ultimately goes to show animals have just as much of a personality as humans do. We can only be thankful that our own employers don’t have the same “naughty” tradition!

Green Shirt Guy Is The American Hero We Needed

by

There are certain situations that we find so uncomfortable and upsetting, that sometimes we don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Alex Kack of Tucson, Arizona, chose the former, as he burst into sidesplitting laughter during a City Council Meeting that Trump Supporters tried to disrupt. His response was so strong that he became an overnight Anti-Trump hero on social media, known as “Green Shirt Guy.”

Tucson Meets To Become A “Sanctuary City”

Tucson City Council called for a meeting to discuss putting the “Sanctuary City” measure on the city’s November ballot. This would make the city the first official immigrant-friendly city in all of Arizona, a contentious and relevant topic with the recent detainment camps and deportation raids in USA.

Trump Supporters Butt In

During the meeting, a woman and man wearing MAGA hats began protesting the “Sanctuary City” measure, spewing lots of anti-immigration opinions. Most people in the room began to boo the couple, and even began leaving the meeting. All the while, Alex Kack, who was wearing a green shirt and sitting near the couple, began to laugh uncontrollably, catching the camera man’s attention. He continued laughing as the two were escorted out by police to allow for the meeting to resume.

Twitter Applauds Green Shirt Guy

The infectious laughter of Kack turned into a trending hero on Twitter with the hashtag, #GreenShirtGuy. Even celebrities like Chrissy Teigen, Kathy Griffin, and Patton Oswalt shared their love for the reaction on Twitter. Kack’s laughter turned into the Gif and Meme we all needed, putting a positive spin to the moments when we want to just scream and yell at the ridiculousness of it all. A few golden Twitter moments are below.

Finally finding Trump’s Kryptonite…

An all-to-accurate representation of the international community’s response to America during these troubling times…

Move over Superman, America has a new hero in town.

And everyone wanted to be just like said hero, leading to the mass purchasing of the exact green shirt from Original Penguin.

What Green Shirt Guy Was Really Thinking

Alex Kack is a local activist who works on various liberal causes, including Peoples Defense Initiative and Tucson Families Free and Together. He is working towards passing the “Sanctuary City” measure, for he believes “Families deserve to be together and all people deserve the right to feel safe.”

As for his nonstop laughter, Kack admits to laughing at the absurdity of the situation, for “Who has the time in their day to come into a public space just to spread hatred and negativity? Like honestly what happened that made them so ridiculous and hateful?”

Words well spoken. We are hoping the green shirt becomes the ultimate antithesis to all Red MAGA hats.

Amazing Tweets That Reached The 200k Retweet Elite

by

Celebrities can easily nab thousands of retweets just for their star status alone. But when one of us *commoners* makes a tweet that gets hundreds of thousands of likes and retweets, that is a TRULY impressive feat. We decided to round up some of our favorite amazing and hilarious tweets from the past two years that reached the retweet elite.

Retweet For Safety!

You can truly never go wrong with puppies in a tweet. This girl shared her adorable pupster taking safety precautions, and naturally we had to hit retweet. You know, just in case your followers needed a safety reminder or an instant cuteness boost in the day!

An Unbeatable Wifi Password

Ever go to a friend’s house and ask for the wifi password, only to be in shock at the complexity of it? It’s even more agonizing when you have to retype it a seemingly hundred times just for it to be correct. This guy felt that with this… strange and inexplicable tweet from Grammy and Oscar Winner Lady Gaga. Maybe she was warming up her vocal chords?

They Say Love Don’t Cost A Thing…

There are times you should shoot your shot and take the courage to ask someone out. However, when a girl can see your financial (in)stability, your chances of a yes drop significantly. They say love don’t cost a thing but a nice date out to dinner does!

The Art Of The Bargain

One older sister took the liberty of sharing her brother’s legendary note to their mom after missing the school bus in the morning. We have to give him serious credit for his vocabulary usage, development, and even well-thought pro con list. Thankfully, the sister shared later that yes, their mother did indeed let him stay home. To bad we can’t do the same for going to work!

Retweet For The Love Of Travel (And Our Bank Accounts)

Scrolling through travel accounts on Instagram can inspire us to do our own exploring. Nevertheless, one quick flight search and seeing the price of traveling to another country can be enough to set us back in our tracks. Instead of thinking of travel possibilities for the future, this Twitter user was reminiscing on the good ole days. You know, back when Pangea connected us all. Over 224k of us missed the old earth formation and hit retweet!
