With the light that is emitted from the integrated LED in this bath faucet, you will be able to easily tell if the water is hot, warm, or cold, without the risk of burning a finger or two.

… this unique LED faucet will instantly show you the water temperature by changing colors. If the water is hot, the LED light will change red, if the water is cold, the LED light will turn blue, and if the water is right in the middle or lukewarm, the LED light will turn green.

Cool!

One of the main problems of wearing a mask while wearing eyeglasses is that your eyeglasses tend to get foggy, which means that you’ll have to remove your glasses and wipe them frequently.

Breath fogs up the interior of their lenses and requires constant cleaning. No matter how fitted the mask, bespectacled people often find it hard to avoid steaming up their lenses.

Surprisingly, there is a very simple way to solve this problem, and it involves taping a band-aid over the bridge of your nose.

On November 12th, neurosurgeon Dr. Daniel M. Heiferman tweeted his mask hack for avoiding steamy glasses. The surgeon does not wear prescription lenses himself, but often wears surgical loupes—magnifying eyeglasses worn in the operating room. Doctors mask up during surgeries, so for years now Dr. Heiferman has been using adhesive cloth bandages over the bridge of his nose. The bandages tape the upper rim of the mask down so that the opening underneath the eyewear is mostly sealed. The surgeon shared a picture of his method, citing the bandage is also useful to anchor the mask if it is slips regularly. In a follow-up tweet he shared a tip for positioning your bandaid: “Put the cotton part of the bandaid on the bridge of your nose with half of it on the mask and half on your face. With the cotton on the bridge, I found my nose didn’t get irritated after many days of use like other tapes would.”

What a great tip!

Rachel did not like taking pictures when she was a kid, and so when it was time for their kindergarten school picture, she clearly did not like what was about to happen. To ensure that she would stay put while her picture is being taken, her mom held her (thus the hand on Rachel’s back).

Cats have been known to be the arch-nemesis of Christmas trees. Leave a cat alone in a room with a Christmas tree, and chances are the cat will take down the tree. But not all cats are like that, at least not this cat. This cat from Japan has incredible self-control.

On November 28, Twitter user TomokoDoe, posted this picture of the cat with the Christmas tree. Later that evening, Tomoko posted an update: the Christmas tree was safe.

Awesome.

You read it right. Science has figured out the number of hours that you have to spend with another person in order for the two of you to become friends.

Scientists have calculated the number of hours of quality time it takes to progress through each stage of friendship, and it's so precise that you can pretty much set your watch by it. Want to level up an acquaintance to a casual friend? It's going to take between 40 and 60 hours... Double that for a true friendship, the "increasingly elaborate insults toward your freshly minted ex" kind.

Unfortunately, you've gotta act fast. Most friendships develop within three to nine weeks of meeting,..

And that’s not all. What you do and what you talk about with that other person also matters. But no worries, Cracked.com has got you covered. Learn more about how to make friends over at the site.

Reddit user TySquii was messing around his camera one day and was taking random pictures in his house. And upon shaking the camera a little while it took a shot, TySquii happened to take this picture of the fire, which looked like a flaming sword at this moment.

Minnesota — When Katy Morlok cleaned her fridge, she did not want to just throw away the old pear that she pulled out from it. Fortunately, she found some squirrels outside her house, and upon confirming via the Internet that the fruit was safe food for the animals, she decided to give the old fruit to them.

The woman said she saw a squirrel she nicknamed "Lil Red" take the pear and run up a tree.

She was not expecting this to happen next, however.

She said the squirrel reappeared about an hour later and was noticeably off balance. She captured video of the animal repeatedly appearing to almost fall over.

"And then it kind of dawned on me ... oh no, those pears were so old I bet they fermented," Morlok told KMSP-TV. "And then he got drunk and I did not mean to do that so I went out and I grabbed all the pears."

Fortunately, the squirrel seemed okay the following morning.

It is said that birds such as chickens and ostriches are the closest living relatives of the now-extinct Tyrannosaurus rex. It is kind of difficult to believe that the T-rex evolved into a chicken, but I guess that explains why chickens could be aggressive sometimes.

Twitter user Just Jo Nah probably has been inspired by that scientific discovery.

[He] fired up his 3D printer and gave his pet chicken these beautiful T-Rex arms. If you are looking for reason to buy a 3D printer yourself, this is it.

The result is this.

For those who already have a 3D printer at home, he has uploaded a blueprint so you can make a set of arms yourself, and you won’t have to search where to order them online.

As you may know, chickens with doll arms have been featured here some months ago, but this one clearly looks better.

Well, what do you think?

Whether in video games or in cartoons (except horror ones), children are usually depicted as cute and adorable. But children in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla are not, and this game isn’t even a horror game.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a pretty great-looking game. The decent graphical fidelity is bolstered by solid animations and a fantastic art direction. And in the game, the characters look great. Do they look like characters in The Last of Us Part II? No. Not even close, but they are serviceable by modern AAA standards, or at least the adults are.

Over on Reddit, one user shared the most terrifying thing you'll see on the Internet this week: a collage featuring various children from Assassin's Creed Valhalla. As you can see, they don't look anything like children.

As you may know, this problem isn't exclusive to Assassin's Creed Valhalla. For whatever reason, children have plagued developers for many years. This isn't the first game to boast demonic children, and it won't be the last.

Spooky.

Multiple-awarded pianist Hayato Sumino, known professionally as Cateen, shows us that a simple tune, when delivered to the hands of a master, can be turned into a musical masterpiece.

Sumino’s take on the nursery rhyme starts off as a simple one, then turns into Mozart-like music, then ragtime, and then becomes Lizst and Chopin-like. The music ends in a style similar to Tom & Jerry.

Sumino started playing the piano at age three.

Awesome!

Compared to the average person, the person who suffers from type 2 diabetes has a greater risk for heart disease and reduced vascular function. This disease can be managed, however, with proper medication, diet, and exercise. 

Exercise, specifically, can lower the risk of heart disease, not just to people with diabetes, but all people. But how should people with the said disease exercise? This report published online recently in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology offers an answer.

Frances Taylor, a doctoral candidate in exercise and sports science at Australian Catholic University in Melbourne, led the study.

Taylor's team compared how blood flow and blood vessel dilation in obese adults with type 2 diabetes responded to shorter, more frequent or longer, less-frequent exercise sessions.

[...]

"Our findings suggest that more-frequent and shorter breaks may be more beneficial than longer, less-frequent breaks for improvement in vascular function in those with [type 2 diabetes]," they concluded.

How come some people say “how come” instead of saying “why”? Where did the phrase come from? How is it different from a simple “why”? Mignon Fogarty tries to give answers to all of these questions over at QDT. For now, here’s her answer to where the phrase “how come” came from.

Well, ”how come" is believed to be short for "how did it come about that," "how is it that," or "how comes it.”

For example, here’s a line from the British poet Edmund Spencer’s “Sonnet 30” that uses the older, longer phrase:

How comes it then that this her cold so great is not dissolved through my so hot desire . . . (That’s from 1611.)

And here’s an even older one from Machiavelli’s “The Prince,” published in 1513. 

How comes it that the Church has attained such greatness in temporal power . . .

Even in that type of use, it can be “how come” instead of “how comes” For example, here’s a line from a British book from 1817 talking about young animals:

How come they to run so naturally?

But we love to shorten things. “Pantaloons” became “pants” and “omnibus” became “bus,” and “how comes it that” became “how come.”

How about you? Which one do you use more often?

When it comes to looking for people lost in the woods, thermal imaging can sometimes be rendered useless, especially when there is vegetation that covers the subsoil, and when the sun heats up the trees to the same temperature of the human body. When these things happen, the accuracy of the thermal camera decreases. 

Researchers from the Johannes Kepler University used artificial intelligence to improve thermal imaging camera searches of people lost in the woods.

Testing of the system showed it to be approximately 87 to 95 accurate compared to just 25 percent accurate for traditional thermal images. The researchers suggest their system is ready for use by search and rescue crews and could also be used by law enforcement, the military, or wildlife management teams.

Awesome!

He came to the stairs. He saw the stairs. And, he conquered the stairs.

Check out this short video of this tiny beagle slowly climbing these two wooden steps. The song from Rocky III, Eye of The Tiger, plays in the video, which makes the clip badass and cute at the same time.

The same puppy also tried to climb from the bed onto the sofa, although without the same kind of success that was had with the stairs.

The video is on Laughing Squid.
