Kids get excited when they have a loose tooth and hear about that mythical Tooth Fairy who will bring them money for their lost teeth while they sleep, but then they realize getting that tooth out is gonna hurt.

Parents try to come up with creative ways of removing the tooth quickly while causing the least amount of pain, but some kids don't need help from their parents to pull a tooth.

These kids take matters into their own hands and in the process end up creating a video that they can rewatch when all their teeth start falling out again during their golden years.

11-year-old Alexis from Colorado is one of those bold action kids, and when she finds a loose tooth she reaches for her slingbow and lets the arrow do the yanking for her!

Move over kale and almond paste, tortillas are about to become the new superfood, but not because they’re great for your body.

They're a superfood because you can use them for more than just wrapping, chewing and swallowing- tortillas can make sweet music if you use a laser cutter to etch grooves into the smooth, floury surface.

Behold the power of the almighty flour tortilla!:

This tasty project was cooked up by YouTube user Rapture Records, and it proves what Latinos have known all along- tortillas are the most versatile food product on the planet!

We’ve always had viral content in our lives, but back in the day many of stories would have been considered nothing but gossip, and just like gossip viral stories rarely get properly researched before being shared online.

Internet sites have almost made an art of releasing fake or totally untrue news stories, and even though the story went viral when released the follow-up admission that the story was a fake rarely gets as many hits.

Cracked has put together a collection of 7 Fake Viral Photos You Probably Thought Were Real which includes the truth about the square dog grooming trend in Japan, the #holdacokewithyourboobs ridiculousness, and more! (Contains NSFW language)

Somewhere along the way video games became child’s play in the minds of consumer groups and ratings boards, but back in the radically square 8-bit arcade days there were way more adults playing games than kids.

The arcade game ads of yore were cheesy in all the right ways, with garish art and big haired models who look completely out of place standing near an arcade cabinet, let alone trying to play a video game (gasp!):

Explore the seamy underbelly of early arcade game advertising with this fun and funky collection entitled Sex Sells #31: Arcade Games. It's sure to put you in the mood...for some classic coin-op action!

Some have taken to painting their satellite dishes to advertise their services, with a little help from the satellite TV company Claro.

Completing a Rubik’s cube in under a certain amount of time was a pretty big deal back in the 80s, but nowadays we know better than to get all excited about toy cube based skills.

However, many of us still get mighty excited about the world of geeky home décor, and it doesn’t get much better than retro themes for the otherwise totally modern home.

You know what looks really retro cool when it hangs around your house? A Rubik’s cube in a beaker, bottle or any other place where it seems to be an impossible fit, that's what!

Putting a Rubik’s cube in a bottle is a much better use for that maddening puzzle, and it's a retro geek chic conversation piece that may convince some people you’re a wizard.

YouTuber Mathologer has created this instructional video that’s teaches you how to take a modern Rubik's cube apart and put it together again inside a bottle. It may not be the easiest project in the world, but the end results are purely mathe-magical!

Chances are you’ve encountered this dilemma when using a flash drive or external hard drive on your computer- should I eject the drive first, or just pull the cord?

You’ve probably asked a few people that very question and met with conflicting answers, with at least one of them claiming that a failure to eject can result in memory damage to your drive.

So what’s the truth about safely ejecting from a USB port? Let Gizmodo demystify the dilemma and answer the burning question Does Safely Ejecting From A USB Port Actually Do Anything?

Countries that speak English as their primary language share many idioms, since they make sense to all English speakers regardless of nation or region.

But that doesn't mean the idioms themselves make any sense when thought of in literal terms, and frankly when they're brought to life visually they can be downright silly.

Animator Roisin Hahessy brought a bunch of common idioms to life via illustration, using the delightful drawings as a representation of what someone might imagine when they hear these idioms for the first time.

Ginger used to be seen as a derogatory term for redhead, and is probably still considered rude by some, but those who are tired of being bullied because of their hair color are owning the name and declaring Ginger Pride.

So whaddya do once that pride comes rolling in? Throw together a festival for your fellow Gingers to enjoy and declare it the summer of redheaded love!

Festival organizer Stuart Parry is no stranger to bullying, and he has decided to organize the event to show his fellow redheads that, despite what bullies might say, it's great to be a part of Team Ginge.

Some of Stuart's colorful musings on being a redhead:

"I wonder if we're approaching a time when bullying gingers is over [...] When I was much younger and out at a night club a young lady came up to me and said 'wow, your hair is lovely, where did you get it done?'"

The first ever UK festival for redhead (Redhead Day UK) started in 2013, but there's plenty of room for Stuart's more laid back festival to coincide with the bigger event, and it's about time for redheads to be proud of their fiery manes!

Superheroes rarely have time to carry on sexual affairs, so they often find the chance to hook up in the middle of a situation that requires some superheroing.

Bearing in mind that big companies like DC and Marvel are still largely creating comics to appeal to a teen or young adult market, this makes superhero hook ups some of the most ridiculous and truly unsexy moments in pop culture history.

Dorkly has put together a rather eye opening (and less risque than you'd imagine) collection featuring 7 Ludicrous Superhero Sex Scenes You Could Only Find In Comics, just try and read 'em with a straight face!

The Harry Potter series is meant to appeal to young adults, introducing teen and preteen readers to the fantasy genre while keeping the story YA friendly, but sometimes real life simply isn’t suitable for a general audience.

The world is generally an R-rated place, and to truly capture teens in an unedited format you’ve gotta go for the R.

The idea for Pixar’s franchise Cars makes total sense now, but when the concept was first presented to the animators they weren’t sure what to make of the whole talking car thing.

The first problem- how does a car pick stuff up when their only appendage is an antenna?

This amusing animated short reveals how animator Rob Gibbs and the rest of the Pixar creative crew developed an anthropomorphic car character into the McQueen we know and love today.

The Japanese writing system contains a syllabary called katakana which “is used for transcription of foreign language words into Japanese”, meaning it’s the syllabic alphabet you use when you want to write an English term in Japanese.

So California becomes Karifurunya, which sounds easy enough, but the Japanese know how to make things difficult when it comes to language.

So if they try to say English words like “sharpened pencil” with one word using katakana the whole thing becomes quite confusing.

Think you can figure it out? What do you think the word "baiking" means when used in a restaurant's advertisement?

They're not baking cookies, and the food isn't being made "by a king", it actually translates to "viking", and means the restaurant offers a buffet.

Saying Japan is strange nowadays is like saying rain is wet or the sun is warm, because everybody knows Japan loves the bizarre. But how do we further define that particularly Japanese style of strange?

(Image Link)

While that strangeness may be hard to quantify this collection of creepy-crazy-WTF inducing GIFs put together by Dorkly is definitely a step in the right direction.

Next time someone expresses doubt that Japan is “as strange as they say” you can show them a GIF of a guy floating around shooting bananas out of his nostrils.

Well played, Japan! I’ll never look at a banana the same way again!
