The Dai-Ichi Yochien preschool building in Kumamoto City in southern Japan has a special innovation that lets ‘kids be kids’ – a courtyard that collects rainwater into one giant, clean puddle that kids can stomp and splash through. Instead of shuttering kids when it rains, this preschool invites them to play. When it’s not raining, the space can be used as a sports yard, and can even be converted into a skating rink in the winter....

In the modern age, with the advent of GPS in addition to the abundance of mass-produced globes and maps, the art of globe-making has seemingly long disappeared. Only two workshops in the world still make modern handcrafted globes; one of them is us….. Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, a studio based in London, England. Our studio began in 2008 when Peter Bellerby struggled to find a quality globe for his father’s 80th birthday present....

Watching the majestic osprey soar through the sky is a sight to behold. It takes a professional photographer to shoot pictures of them when they’re flying. And an even better artist to get photos of them when they’re in the middle of hunting. Enter Chen Chengguang, a Taiwanese photographer who takes artistic photos of birds. Some of his best bird photography work involves immortalizing ospreys with his camera lens. Especially his chronophotographs where pics of ospreys diving toward their prey are taken in several frames and then composited into one image....

It’s never pleasant to lose something. Anxiety slowly (but surely) starts kicking in almost immediately after realizing that the thing is lost, despite it probably being something insignificant. At that moment, it is often too late to understand that as we’re already caught up in the thought and obsessing about it. It’s even more unpleasant when you know that something you lost was actually stolen. While losing means being deprived of something, stealing adds that feeling of having your privacy breached....

Students at Chippewa Secondary School are learning how difficult parenting is the hard way and people are loving every bit of their misery.

To eat or not to eat the chicken? That is the question. Every married couple argues every once in a while. Sometimes it’s about laundry mysteriously left in the washer, other times it’s the thermostat war of 2025, and sometimes they lock horns over a raw chicken that’s been on a scenic afternoon road trip in the trunk. One Redditor refused to eat his wife’s chicken dinner after she forgot the raw bird in her car the entire afternoon, insisting it was fine and safe to eat....

In a functional family, people strive to create an environment in which everyone feels safe and respected. However, as Redditor OkOrganization9552 and his wife were getting ready to welcome their first child into the world, the dynamic in theirs shifted. The man’s mother started exhibiting increasingly hostile behavior toward his partner, injecting more and more tension into their everyday life. He detailed everything in a candid post on the subreddit r/AITAH , hoping that its members would help him make sense of the situation and would offer an unbiased opinion on his own response to it....

Before dropping her phone off at the Apple store for a screen repair, Gloria Fuentes deleted all social media, financial and banking apps from her device. She simply couldn’t get rid of a feeling that something bad will happen. Fuentes would’ve wiped out all of her photos too, but she ran out of time. Upon arriving at the store in Bakersfield, California, she handed over her phone to an employee. However, he began “messing around with it for quite a while,” the woman wrote on Facebook the next day....

Summer is a great time for kids, when they have the best opportunity to run around the streets carelessly, play with friends, and generally have nearly the best time of their lives. However, sometimes it so happens that parents actually take the words “run around the streets” too literally, and then vigilant neighbors have to step in. Today’s story, initially told by the user u/pm_me_jupiter_photos , talks about one of such cases....

Some relationships hit a rough patch, others hit the pavement. But can love survive a chipped tooth and a bruised ego? Relationships are hard enough without surprise visits to the emergency room and emotional frostbite. And nothing says “maybe we’re not soulmates” like a faceplant into the pavement. Because when one person’s dancing on tables and the other’s drawing up moral contracts, things might be heading for a breakup. And one Redditor knows this all too well, ending up single after giving his fiancée the silent treatment for getting drunk and landing herself in the hospital....

The good old-fashioned song claims that money makes the world go round, and we have absolutely no reason to disagree. Moreover, money is definitely the greatest invention of mankind. For instance, because all other inventions, even taken together, can be bought for money. At the same time, money, despite its many advantages, also has some flaws. For example, because of money, many families have been destroyed at different times. Mainly, of course, due to lack of money....

Traveling with friends can be an exciting way to make memories, but it can also test the strength of those relationships. Shared experiences like this often bring people closer, yet unexpected problems and stress can create tension where there was none before. Today’s Original Poster (OP) went on a fun trip with her friend that quickly went sour. Upon return from the trip, the friend lost her carryon and hoped for some support , however, the OP left her all by herself and still wondered what she did wrong....

Justin Bieber’s song Yummy is being reanalyzed in light of the newly released Epstein documents. The US Justice Department’s latest release of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein court files has sparked theories suggesting that the Canadian pop star may have been one of the financier’s victims. Released in 2020, Yummy was initially considered a bizarre pop hit, featuring repetitive lyrics of the song title and unsettling imagery in its music video....

Hero [heer-oh] – a person noted for courageous acts or nobility of character. Bravery, achievement, and morality are some of the characteristics that go hand in hand with the term. But true heroics are not just about doing the right thing at great risk; it’s about doing the right thing even when the world isn’t watching or applauding. Thankfully this time, unbeknownst to the hero, his great deed will be captured and hailed by hundreds....

How we perceive the world can be quite subjective. A lot depends on our childhood environments , as well as the people we spend the most time around. They shape our assumptions and values. It’s when we change our environments and enter new social circles that we realize we may have gotten some ideas about the world very wrong. Redditor u/Piguthew sparked a fascinating discussion on r/AskReddit after they asked everyone to share the traits they were raised to think were very common that reality proved otherwise....

If I asked you to name a few places where you see/hear/read about the most common conflicts between entitled people and where in most cases they get karma, probably quite a few of you would name planes. And to be more specific – conflicts about seats, where people cause quite a bit of drama if somebody’s sitting in their place, they’re unhappy with their assigned place, or they have an unbearable seat neighbor ....
