People do things differently when they think they're all alone and say things to themselves that weren't meant to be heard by others, and sometimes the things we say and do when we think we're alone become dirty little secrets.

Heck, most people don't want anyone else to know they sometimes talk to themselves, much less that they sometimes do gross stuff involving bodily fluids.

The questions on AskReddit are usually answered with funny and awkward stories, but the stuff people were seen doing when they "thought nobody was watching" (NSFW) is cringey humor from beginning to end and proves even pets do weird stuff when they think they're alone-

Hearing your voice the way others hear it can be a bit jarring at first, and I know plenty of people who claim they can't stand the sound of their own voice, which is a sad way to feel about your unique noise.

But many of these people are basing their opinion on a recording of their voice, which can distort the true sound coming out of our vocal chords.

So before they unfairly judge their voice they should hear what other people are hearing by using the technique vocal coach Chris Beatty demonstrates in this video:

The answer is found in something as simple as this. I’m going to use these file folders as sound deflectors …that will block that preview of sound that comes up the side of the face.

Some people act as if they have genitalia on the brain, claiming clean images are obscene if they look the least bit like private parts, which makes me wonder how they manage to eat a banana without feeling ashamed.

Which is why I'm always skeptical about claims an innocent image is secretly filthy, but you've gotta admit there is something vaguely NSFW about the meat on that turkey sandwich, and once you see it you cannot unsee the booty.

After AV shared his smutty turkey sandwich on Twitter people LOLed and shared the pic until it went viral, but some didn't see the beauty in the sliced turkey booty- so they made it more PG.

But not everyone saw smut when they gazed at the turkey slices- this guy saw gators and proved not everyone is willing to admit they have a dirty mind!

Female body ideals have changed many times over the last few centuries, sometimes changing multiple times within the same era, but male body ideals tend to change far less frequently.

According to artist Nickolay Lamm the ideal male body type has only changed about five or six times in the last 150 years, and the ideal male body type is now more average than ever before.

From the Fat Man's Club of the 1870s to the skinny rockers of the 60s to the beefcake 80s and back to normal again, Nickolay created 3D models to illustrate some of the main male body types seen as ideal over the last few centuries.

It's incredible to think about a pet cat living for a quarter of a century without suffering from any serious medical problems, and a cat living into its thirties seems like a tall tale considering they only live for about five years in the wild.

But the cats who have broken the world records for age are proving cats can have more than nine lives- and might someday reach the ripe old age of 40.

The nonplussed cat in these pics is named Nutmeg, and his owners Liz and Ian Finlay claim he's 31 years old, which would make him the world's oldest living cat since the previous record holder Scooter died in 2016 at age 30. 

But there's one problem with Nutmeg's world record- there isn't any documentation of his actual age because he was a rescue:

When Liz and Ian Finlay found him in their garden in 1990, the Cat Protection League estimated he was at least 5 years old. They have given him his forever home ever since. In 2016, he celebrated his 31st birthday. That's 141 in cat years.

Nutmeg nearly didn't make it to 31. He had a stroke in 2015, but was saved by Dr Gillis and her team at Westway Veterinary Group in Newcastle on Tyne. The Finlays hope they will have him for a few years more.

Most movie directors do a great job of bringing their vision of the script to life on the big screen, their control over each shot in the film quite obvious, but a good director also knows when to leave in the happy accidents.

Which is why a surprisingly high number of popular films still contain happy accidents, because Titanic wouldn't have been the same without Leonardo DiCaprio getting tongue tied when he asked Kate Winslet to pose for a sketch.

And remember when Star-Lord dropped the ball in Guardians Of The Galaxy?

That was Pratt literally fumbling the ball in a blooper too fun to cut, but at least he didn't break that prop, unlike Kurt Russell in The Hateful Eight- who smashed a $40,000 antique guitar by mistake:

Quentin Tarantino was loaned a 19th century guitar for Jennifer Jason Leigh's outlaw Daisy Domergue to play in The Hateful Eight. A prop was provided for Kurt Russell to destroy...only for him to smash up the real, $40,000 one by mistake.

Leigh's horror on screen is genuine, and Russell was suitably mortified about obliterating an irreplaceable antique.

"Nature Boy" Ric Flair is one of the most electrifying wrestlers ever to enter the ring, and between his fearless high flying moves and mega-macho smack talk between bouts Ric was born to be a wrestling superstar.

Back in 1995 Ric got to represent as America's greatest wrestler in an epic match versus Antonio Inoki, the most popular wrestler in Japan's history, but there was one catch- the match was in North Korea.

The show, which took place on April 28 and 29, 1995, was dubbed the International Sports and Cultural Festival for Peace by the North Korean government. For a country that is usually intent on keeping outsiders away, inviting 300,000-plus people to cram into Pyongyang's massive May Day Stadium over the course of the two-day event seemed to be an about-face for the notoriously secretive regime.

"American tourists are almost never granted visas," wrote The New York Times's Sheila Melvin in 1996. "Yet less than a year after [Kim Il-sung's] death, North Korea was allowing outsiders to attend an International Sports and Cultural Festival for Peace. Perhaps it was an effort to showcase a North Korea ruled by Kim Jong Il."

Most people are familiar with disorders like Autism, Down syndrome or ADHD, but there's a chromosome-based disorder out there so rare it doesn't even have a name and leaves kids looking like toddlers for the rest of their lives.

Tandy Palmes's son Angus is thought to be the only child in the world affected by this strange disorder, which caused him to stop growing at the age of three, so she went on This Morning to discuss the disorder:

Tandy explained to presenters Sarah Greene and Rylan Clark-Neal that doctors were concerned about his health after he was born, and sent him for testing to get to the bottom of things

"We had no idea there was anything wrong, although they had their suspicions," Tandy said.

"They took us in an ambulance to one of the Manchester hospitals and did some genetic tests and three weeks after that they told me they found this chromosome abnormality by accident."

The condition means that Angus, who is 13 years old, remains in the body of a toddler after he stopped growing when he was just three.

Cats don't normally have a hard time telling their humans when they're hungry, and some cats will practically claw their owner's skin off to get their way when their food bowl is empty.

But Mini, the adorable tabby cat in this video, has worked out a system with her owner that facilitates conversation between the two and serves as Mini's catchphrase- the "Ya hungry?" system.

You used to be able to go to the beach, ditch your stuff on the sand and jump into the ocean without worry, but nowadays people of all ilk will steal your stuff while you're busy splashing around, which is just plain sad.

A man named Rich and his family staked a claim on New Smyrna Beach, Florida on the Fourth of July, 2014, putting up a canopy and setting out chairs to make their day at the beach more comfortable.

His kids were in need of a nap so they went to their nearby lodgings and left their stuff on the beach, which isn't exactly smart but is otherwise an extremely common thing for families to do when they hit the beach.

Rich returned a bit later and was horrified to find Kathleen Duffy and Linda Duffy Kelley in the process of breaking down his canopy and stealing his family's stuff, and when he confronted them they attacked.

Luckily he was filming the confrontation... (barely NSFW due to language)

Code words exist so that people who hear them and aren't in the know are kept in the dark, and whether they're being used by spies or professionals they help keep secrets that might otherwise cause problems if exposed.

For instance, if you're sitting in a hospital waiting room and you hear a "code red" alert go out over the intercom you're likely to picture someone dying, but a "code blue" somehow sounds less jarring.

Medical professionals will likewise use the term "unremarkable" to indicate there are no abnormalities, a word which would make some patients feel a bit deflated if they read their medical report.

Folks might also freak out a bit if they read words like "Dyscopia", "Horrendoma" or "Status Dramaticus" in their medical reports, but these are merely code words used by medical staff to describe patients.

Magic tricks are scary if you have no idea how magicians make stuff disappear, and kids are so willing to believe they think magicians have magic powers until someone spoils the tricks for them by telling them how they're done.  

But puppies don't know what's going on one way or the other, so their reaction to Jose Ahonen's magic tricks isn't so much "ooh" and "aah" as "what did you do to my treat, human?!", although the Chihuahua was definitely scared of Jose's magical abilities. Then again, Chihuahuas are scared of everything...

Dealing with the death of a pet can sometimes be harder than dealing with the passing of a friend or relative, because that pet is such a big part of your home and everyday life, but grieve and move on we must.

But what if you could use cloning technology to create an exact clone of your pet at the cost of $150,000 - could you bring yourself to spend that much money on a dog? And is that clone really going to be the same as the original?

When Nina and Edgar Otto's beloved Labrador Lancelot passed away back in 2009 they found they couldn't live with the loss- so they paid the $150k and had Lancelot cloned from samples of his DNA.

BioArts, a firm in San Francisco, is responsible for this amazing story and they worked in conjunction with a South Korean team at the Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The new dog was named Lancelot Encore (because of course it was) and the animal was created by injecting DNA into the eggs of a surrogate pup.

Since then their dog Lancelot Encore has sired a litter of puppies and dog cloning has become virtually mainstream, with companies like Viagen Pets offering their dog cloning services for a mere $50k. But the question still remains- can the clone ever really compare to the original?

Sesame Street has included fun musical segments in every episode from the very beginning, but the all time fan favorites are the song parodies like "C Drives Me Crazy", "Hey Food" and "Barn In The USA" that stick with us well after we're all grown up.

The songs on Sesame Street were also designed to teach us stuff, like the alphabet, good manners or a foreign language, and the only thing that has changed over the years is nowadays the parody are often better than the original!

Here's Ernie improving on that smash hit song Despacito with his lil rubber homie El Patito.

The old saying "don't fly too close to the sun" applies to our adventures in the dreamlands just as much as it does to our dreams and ambitions in real life, and as Freddy Krueger taught us dreams can be dangerous.

This is especially true if the dreamer is under anasthesia, because as this Safely Endangered comic shows, the dreamer may just be like "screw it!" and choose to permanently move to the Land of Nod.

But what this comic doesn't show is the point when the dreamer regrets their decision as that sweet dream fades to black... Dream safe folks!
