Orange You Confused by This Viral Challenge Involving Showers? Because We Are
Though it's certainly been stated before, the internet is a strange place. Supporting that claim is the latest feel-good challenge that promotes eating an orange in the shower. Why? Well, we're not entirely sure.
It all started over a year ago with a Reddit thread. In that thread, users were asked to share unconventional habits that everyone should try. That's when one user said they start their mornings by eating an orange in the shower. Apparently, the shower is the best place to eat oranges because any stickiness you might normally get on your hands in the peeling process is washed away.
Now, an entire subreddit is dedicated to the quirky preference. It's simply titled Shower Orange. On that page, you'll find countless pictures and stories from people who have fallen in love with the fruit-eating method. According to the rules, grapefruits and posts containing nudity are not allowed. Clementines, tangerines, and blood oranges, however, are all welcome.
Happy valentine's day to everyone at r/showerorange from ShowerOrange
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. from ShowerOrange
While we're not hooked on the whole shower orange situation just yet, the internet's impassioned response may inspire us to see what it's all about.
Every Single Secret Movie Category on Netflix You Could Ever Want

And when it's a cold or rainy day, there's nothing more you want to do than stay in bed, watching a movie all day long. Well, the next time you're lost on what to watch next, just take a look at our list here of Netflix's secret movie categories.
The codes, which What's on Netflix found, include every type of genre you can imagine. Interested in an anime drama or quirky romance movie? There's a code for both of those categories. Remember, you need to use this URL http://ift.tt/2hSdKdR and copy and paste the code into "CODENUMBER." Too lazy? There's a website that has this all set up, ready for you.
Start looking ahead and plan out your weekend of binge-watching.
This Google Fortunetelling Website Isn't What You Think It Is
It definitely feels like Google holds most of the answers to our modern-day problems, which is why most people didn't question that it came up with a new fortune-telling website. However, the website, called Google Fortunetelling, is neither part of Google nor can it tell you anything about your future.
First you begin typing a question, but the site then autocompletes it to "Where can I find a safe place?" along with several other questions like, "Will I be reunited with my family?" and "Is there a place where I can give my children a safe future?" After a few seconds, you're redirected to another page that reminds you to think of how you can help the current migrant crisis in Europe, which includes an estimated 19 million people who are refugees coming from countries like Syria, Somalia, and Afghanistan. If you choose to share the site, it'll appear on Facebook and Twitter as if you found an incredible fortune-telling website, but it will lead people to this same page in the end.
The website is a creative way to highlight an issue that can so easily be forgotten and is a great reminder that we can all do something to help the situation.

This New Meme Making the Rounds on the Internet Will Make Every Know-It-All So Happy
The "me, an intellectual" meme making the rounds on the internet is causing us to laugh until we cry. Obviously, we (with our fancy words) are intellectuals, and this meme really speaks to us. The meme is simple to do: rephrase an ordinary word or sentence into something overly complicated and complex.
Though the meme is everywhere lately, it was originally posted to Tumblr in August 2016 by user wecknician. Most recently, the meme has taken off on Twitter, and the results are hilarious.
Read on to see some of the best "intellectual" tweets.

Muggles, Don't Even Think About Attempting This Harry Potter Bucket List
Muggles, don't even think about attempting this Harry Potter bucket list! It's only for folks who know their stuff about witchcraft and wizardry - aka extreme fans of J.K. Rowling's magical series. From collecting special items to learning one's own true wizarding colors, we've rounded up quite a few experiences that every Potter enthusiast should have in their lifetime. If there are items on this list that you haven't already accomplished, you won't need a Remembrall to remind you about them . . . you won't want to rest until they're completed!
Disney Created a Room That Can Charge Any Gadget - Without a Single Wire
Disney isn't just tinkering away at creating Star Wars Land and bringing you one-of-a-kind experiences on cruises. The latest invention from Disney Research is a gadget that can charge your phone wirelessly - without a single wire or additional product.
The three-person team composed of Disney researchers Matthew Chabalko, Mohsen Shahmohammadi, and Alanson Sample created a room that can seamlessly charge any device - and deliver power to TVs or other products that normally need to be plugged in. To begin, the team built a room with aluminum panel walls, floor, and ceiling. In the middle of the room, a large copper pipe sits with capacitors (that regulate the electromagnetic frequency) to create an electromagnetic field. With these structures, electricity can continuously run through the loop, creating a "magnetic field" that can "deliver kilowatts of power," otherwise known as quasistatic cavity resonance (QSCR). Essentially, this technology lets you enter the room and, without doing a single thing, your phone will automatically start charging.
With a room like this, you can decorate it however you want but still be able to charge wirelessly. You can learn more about QSCR in the video below, or read the team's findings in a paper submitted to the journal PLOS One.
Instagram Is Finally Letting You Share Multiple Photos in One Post
Instagram is finally bringing a long-awaited feature to the app: sharing multiple photos and videos in a single post. The feature begins rolling out today to both Android and iOS users.
Instead of picking the one photo that sums up your vacation, you can now choose up to 10 photos or videos to share in one post. Once you select the photos or videos you want, you can edit them at the same time or do it one by one. To be clear, the group of photos doesn't appear like a collage. It looks more like a gallery that your friends can swipe to see more of.
Ahead, see how to use this feature and what it'll look like in your Instagram feed.
Someone Created a Song Using Music Notes in the Shape of a Unicorn and It's Too Cute
Enjoy a unicorn made out of music notes http://pic.twitter.com/f4oMZDa50b
- Andrew Huang (@andrewismusic) February 21, 2017
What happens when you create a song using music notes in the shape of a unicorn? Magic, of course. Popular YouTube blogger Andrew Huang recently used music software to test out this experiment. The end result pretty much sounds like what you'd expect! It's feminine, sprightly, and sounds like it's straight out of a feudal fairy tale.
In just two days, Andrew's tweet amassed more than 100,000 retweets and 158,000 "likes." Even his followers have since taken to trying the experiment themselves. One Twitter user, for example, did the same project except he changed the instrument to a drum kit and found that it still sounds pretty damn awesome. Listen to the whimsical ditty in its entirety, above.
25 Awesome Experiences Today's Kids Will Never Understand
Some children alive today have never used a phone with buttons or a bulky computer. The internet has been available to the public for more than 20 years.
If those facts don't make you feel old, think about this: most of your favorite childhood activities have become completely obsolete thanks to modern technology! Today's kids will never experience the glories of Game Boy, a VCR, a boombox, or even a physical encyclopedia. Whether they're better off gone or you'll think back with fondness, let's remember these 25 childhood experiences that technology has made extinct.
These New Smart Condoms Will Help Your Boyfriend Perform Better in the Bedroom
Just when you thought you'd seen it all, allow us to introduce you to i.Con, the "world's first smart condom." Created by British Condoms, the condom works as a wearable ring that men can attach over regular condoms during sex. The smart condom can then be used to measure and keep track of his thrust speed, how many calories he's burning (while thrusting), plus how long his romantic rendezvous lasts, and so much more.
According to the official website, the i.Con comes equipped with a micro USB port that you can plug into your computer for a quick, one-hour recharge. The condom can reportedly survive up to eight hours of "live" usage, which should be more than enough time to get the job done. The i.Con will also come with a one-year warranty for those of you who are left feeling, well, unsatisfied.
Fellas, if you're brave enough to review the stats of your sexual performance, all you have to do is use the i.Con app, which allows users to download their recent performance data. Once the data is downloaded, the smart condom automatically erases the previous stats to make room for your next session. Also, there's no need to be concerned about finding an i.Con in the right size. British Condoms says the smart condom ring comes with a band adjustment feature "to suit everyone's girth," big or small.
The i.Con is set to launch exclusively in the UK this year, but the company says it fully expects to expand the product worldwide due to high consumer interest. If this sounds like something you know someone in your life should try, sign up to be one of the first to know when the device is available here.
This Grammar Quiz Will Make You Feel Like a Genius - Until You Realize It's So Wrong
If you're looking to feel good about yourself, take this grammar quiz that's currently everywhere on Facebook. The Playbuzz quiz includes 25 questions "testing" your grammar skills. However, there's one glaring problem: the quiz will give you a passing score even if you answer plenty of the questions wrong.
The quiz, called "Can You Get a 25/25 on This Advanced Grammar Test?," was posted on Feb. 19 by Xander Maxwell. In it, you're given a question and need to choose the proper grammar to use. But if you answer most of the questions right, you'll be given a 25/25. Take it for yourself below.
Did you score a perfect score? You might be totally right - or you're just lucky enough to have answered a certain number of questions right. The quiz was posted to the Facebook page Teacher Problems, where people are congratulating themselves on getting a perfect score and feeling so smart. POPSUGAR's own copy chief took the quiz herself and figured out the trick to it: if you answer completely wrong or mostly wrong, you'll fail the rest. If you answer completely right or mostly right, you'll pass the quiz with a score of 25/25.
Infuriating? Yes. But if it gets people thinking about grammar, we're kinda into it.

This Puzzle Is Like Where’s Waldo? but So Much Harder
For some people, puzzles are a great way to distract their mind and zone out for a bit. For others like ourselves, they're a great reminder that nothing will drive you crazier than trying to find or solve something that's supposedly easy. Whichever type of person you are, we bring you a puzzle that's making the internet question its sanity.
The quiz, which was originally published on Jan. 4, 2016, shows a cute illustration of a bunch of pigs in a field. The catch? Try to spot the four-leaf clover among all the pigs. Try your best below. To see the answer, just click on the photo.
The illustration was created by Hungarian-based artist Gergely Dudás, or Dudolf, who regularly posts fun puzzles like these on his Facebook page. When Dudolf originally posted this image on his Facebook page, it received more than 9,000 reactions, 1,000 comments, and 4,000 shares. However, a recent Imgur post is bringing attention to this puzzle (and others) again.
Hopefully that didn't drive you too crazy!
The New Meme That Will Literally Leave You Asking the Question "What in Tarnation?"
What started as a simple post on Tumblr is now a glorious meme on the rise. In 2016, a Tumblr user made a joke about the Farmers Only dating app and used the colloquial phrase, "What in tarnation?" Then, in early January, another Tumblr user shared a meme of a dog wearing a cowboy hat with the same caption. Understandably, people found it to be pretty funny and the post ended up getting thousands of shares.
Now, people have applied the same caption to anything vaguely country or cowboy hat related. While the meme is especially effective when it involves household pets - as most memes are - it's since been taken to ridiculous lengths. Check out some examples ahead to find out what in tarnation we're talking about.
Does This Rare Space Phenomenon Remind You of Anything in Nature?
In September 2016, the Hubble Space Telescope captured a gorgeous planetary nebula that had an uncanny resemblance to the shape of a butterfly. As it turns out, however, the formation isn't as delicate as a butterfly. In actuality, it's a massive "cauldron" of gas traveling at an insane speed.
According to the press release, the nebula resulted from a dying star. After its death, it became enveloped in gas and created those two clouds of glowing ultraviolet radiation. As for the unique butterfly shape, it's believed that the gas was ejected in a perpendicular manner at such a high speed that it formed those "wings."
Though the stunning image isn't entirely new, it's currently trending thanks in part to a Reddit post that slightly altered the shot. In a few hours, that post amassed hundreds of comments on the platform. Some users, however, noted that they liked the original Hubble shot even more!
Watch This Student Beat the World Record For Most Finger Snaps in 1 Minute
A Japanese college student just beat the Guinness World Record for most finger snaps in one minute. In a mesmerizing video, Satoyuki Fujimura is able to snap his fingers a whopping 296 times, beating the previous record of 278 times.
Satoyuki took the stage of a local show, Tantei! Knight Scoop, to perform his quirky and record-breaking talent. In the video, he closes his eyes and moves his fingers at such an insanely fast speed, so much so that his hand appears blurry pretty much for the entirety of that minute. According to Guinness World Records, Satoyuki's mother taught him the skill when he was a teenager.
What Life Was Like Before Cell Phones
Image Source: NBC
Most of us have carried a cell phone around for more than 13 years, so it's hard to remember going through life without one. But there was a time when we all used to memorize our best friends' phone numbers and use a pay phone. While today's kids can't even fathom the idea of not having the latest smartphone, we relish reminiscing about the golden days. Ahead, take a look back at the lives we led with only landlines.
- Waiting by the door for your friend when she said she would pick you up at a certain time.
- Planning a time for your crush to call you late at night and picking up on the first ring so your parents wouldn't catch you.
- Checking the answering machine to see if anyone left any messages while you were out.
- Begging your parents for a second phone line so you could talk for hours to your friends.
- Taking photos on disposable cameras and getting superexcited to develop them.
- Honking when you arrived at someone's house to pick them up.
- Looking up directions on MapQuest, printing them out, and deleting your history so your parents didn't know where you were going.
- Calling your crush using *67 and saving *69 for when you received prank calls.
Image Source: Warner Bros. - Only making long-distance calls after 5 p.m. or on Sunday nights because of reduced rates.
- Using a calling card.
- Calling 411 or using a phone book to look up businesses.
- Writing your home phone number in friends' yearbooks and playing phone tag all Summer.
- Actually meaning it when you wrote "don't ever change" in your yearbook (because you didn't have the Facebook app and had no idea what people were up to during the Summer).
- Annoying your friends' parents by talking to them on the house phone 24/7.
- Dealing with immense boredom when you had to wait anywhere, especially at the doctor's office.
- Getting tangled up in the phone cord when talking to your friends on the landline.
- Actually having to commit to plans because you couldn't last-minute flake over a text.
- Passing notes instead of Snapchats.
Image Source: Photobucket - Feeling embarrassed when your parents were late to pick you up from carpool and you didn't have any way of calling them to find out where they were.
- Using a pay phone on the regular when you were out and needed to make a call (and never forgetting to leave your house without a handful of quarters).
- Memorizing the most important digits - mom, dad, BFF, Pizza Hut.
- Trying to come up with hilarious songs and jokes to leave as your family answering machine greeting.
- Getting to know your friends' and significant other's parents because they always picked up first and asked you all sorts of questions.
- Hailing cabs.
- Scheduling specific times to call relatives.
- Having no clue what your friends were up to at any given moment.
- Getting cut off from a three-way or group call if the person who started it hung up.
Image Source: Paramount - Having to page your mom the number to a pay phone at the mall so she could call and figure out where to pick you up.
- Getting in trouble for "tying up" the phone line.
- Hearing someone pick up an extension to spy or tell you to get off the phone.
- Becoming annoyed whenever you heard a call-waiting beep.
- Asking permission to go online so you wouldn't block the phone line or getting kicked offline because someone called.
- Using a newspaper to figure out movie times or picking one when you got there.
- Having serious FOMO when you were on family vacation because you had no idea what your friends were doing.
Sure, we now have fun and faster ways to communicate, but nothing will beat growing up with a regular telephone!
This Video-Game-Obsessed Couple Announced Their Pregnancy in the Cutest Way Possible
These days, it's hard to announce an engagement, let alone a pregnancy, without making it over-the-top creative and fun. It's not easy, which is why we're loving this couple's pregnancy announcement that uses Super Mario. The couple posed with game controllers in their hands, ready to play a game - except they're waiting for "Player 3" to finish loading. See the adorable announcement ahead.
My friend and his wife decided to share their big news from gaming
The photo, posted to Reddit by user thedavereynolds, quickly drew the attention of the site. Some people noticed that the dad is technically holding the Player 3 controller and that neither the Wii nor N64 is on. These inconsistencies don't bother us at all because it's such a cute reveal!
A Teen's Selfie Looks Normal Until You Take a Closer Look
Selfies are pretty harmless - that is until a ghost photobombs your photo and sends the internet into a meltdown. A teen's recent selfie looks seemingly normal, until you notice a man who doesn't look like he belongs there at all. According to the family, he doesn't.
The photo, posted to Facebook on Feb. 25 by Jessica Ogletree, also includes the story behind it. Ogletree mentions the photo is of her 13-year-old daughter and was taken near a fishing area in Tifton, GA. The daughter is smiling, and her brother is in the background. Move your eye to the right and you'll see it: a gentleman wearing a cap, smiling, and blending in with the background. Ogletree makes it clear that this man was not part of her group - nor was he in the same area as them. See the entire post below.
The internet's pretty freaked out over the photo, considering the post has more than 3,000 comments and 6,000 reactions and shares. Most of the comments are people who believe the ghost is real. Of course, others think someone photoshopped the photo to include the man in the cap. One commenter even pointed out seeing other ghosts in the same photo.
Whatever you believe, you have to admit this photo is pretty creepy.
Get Your Wallet Ready Because Apple's AirPods Aren't Optional - They're Necessary
When Apple first announced the AirPods, I, like everyone else, was completely confused by them. Why did they look like Q-Tips? Why did they cost so much money? More importantly, Apple, how could you take away my headphone jack?! But after testing out a pair of AirPods for the past few weeks, I can see why they're worth it and why you might consider buying them for yourself.
Setting Them Up Is So Easy
Unlike several tech products out there, setting up AirPods is so easy. Open up the AirPod case near your iPhone and a pop-up screen should appear. Tap "Connect" and you're done. Once this step is done, just pop the AirPods into your ears. You'll hear a ding that lets you know it's connected to your iPhone. Press play on your music and you're set! I opened up Spotify on my first try and my iPhone already recognized my AirPods and started to play music through them, no additional setup required. Need to talk to someone or order your morning coffee? Take out one of the AirPods and the music automatically stops playing.
The AirPods Don't Fall Out
I'm someone who's barely on time for anything, which means I'm usually running to catch the bus to all sorts of events. The first time I ran, I clung onto my AirPods for dear life and probably looked like a complete weirdo running with my hands to my ears. I decided to test them the next day and didn't hold onto to them as I ran - and they stayed perfectly snug in my ear. If I ran with Apple's previous headphones or any other ones, they fell out or got tangled in my hair. Speaking of which . . .
Say Goodbye to Earphone Tangling
As someone with a lot of piercings, long hair, bracelets, and complicated jackets, I've always had a struggle with regular headphones. They get tangled in my hair or get caught in a button, which then sends the headphones and, sometimes, my iPhone into the air. Or they end up in a tangled mess by themselves. But with the AirPods, that never happens, and it becomes one less thing to worry about. Sometimes, the AirPods do get caught in my hair when I'm putting them on, but that's more a messy-hair-day problem than the AirPods' fault.
They Don't Look That Weird
OK, yes, the AirPods look like bizarre Q-Tips hanging from your ears, but they aren't the weirdest headphones out there. Personally, I hate the insanely large look of some over-ear headphones, and then there are trendy metallic headphones that will sometimes shine the sun into my eye on the bus. So really, earphones and headphones come in all shapes and sizes depending on your needs, so you shouldn't feel weird about the look of the AirPods. You get used to them, and if you have long hair, you can hide them.
Talking on the Phone Has Never Been Better
I know that as a millennial, I'm supposed to despise talking on the phone. But sometimes, you can't avoid it (looking at you, Mom). And unlike Apple's EarPods with a microphone, I don't need to hold the AirPods mere inches from my mouth for anyone to hear me. The sound is clear and more personal; no need to shout on the phone so the other person on the line can hear me.
The Battery Life Is Actually Great
Apple currently advertises the AirPods as having five hours of battery life on a single charge. But, in reality, the AirPods hold out for much longer than that. Since I only use them when I'm commuting, they can last me as long as five days. And if you own an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, you can charge your phone and listen to music without using the dongle. The one downside of the battery life is that you don't get much of a warning that the charging case needs a recharge, which has left me without earphones a few times.
The AirPods Are Worth the Investment
As someone on a budget, I find it insanely hard to make investments on longer lasting products. Yes, I know this $6 pair of tights will get a run on the second day I wear them, but they are cheaper than a $30 better pair of tights. The same logic applies to my headphones; is it annoying to constantly shell out $30 to $40 every few months for new earphones because the cable is frayed or only one ear works? Yes, but it's a cheaper option to the "fancier," high-end earphones. With the AirPods, however, the investment feels worth it. There's no chance of the cable fraying or listening out of one ear for a while. And if you lose one, you can replace one for $69. A hefty price, but that might make make you extra careful not to lose them.
But not everything is absolutely awesome about the AirPods. Siri works nicely on the AirPods, but it's not really something I see anyone using all the time. I'd rather listen to "Closer" by the Chainsmokers 10 times in a row than to say "Hey Siri, next song" in public. That's not the only downfall of AirPods either - the Bluetooth connection can also randomly get disconnected. Sometimes, I put my iPhone in my back pocket, and the music goes in and out because the Bluetooth connection isn't strong enough. Or I'll take out my AirPod out to order something and the music will stop for a second before resuming. Not the most ideal situation, but also not totally uncommon with Bluetooth devices.
Is this another pricey Apple product? Yes. Is it one that's worth your money? Yes, absolutely. You can buy AirPods online through the Apple Store for $159 and other retailers.
