An etiquette expert on YouTube claims we've all been buttering bread wrong our entire life. "Wrong" as in you're doing it like an uncultured peasant.
He says taking a piece of bread and buttering the whole thing at once is WRONG. The right way to do it involves a four-step process:
Step One: Take a piece of bread or a bread roll, and put it on your plate.
Step Two: Use a knife to put a small amount of butter on your plate that's just for you. You shouldn't take it from the dish and put it directly on your bread - that's disgusting.
Step Three: Take your piece of bread and break it up into smaller, bite-sized pieces with your hands. (if it's Wonder Bread this is the place to roll it up in to little balls..kidding)
Step Four: Butter each bite-sized piece individually before you eat it. Never butter them all at once.
He claims that's the classy way to do it. Now you know.

More "Futurama" is in the future thanks to Hulu. It's been almost 9 years the last episode aired September of 2013. 20 episodes have been ordered from the original creators, Matt Groening and David X. Cohen.
Matt said, quote, "It's a true honor to announce the triumphant return of 'Futurama' one more time before we get canceled abruptly again."
Most of the original voice cast will be returning, like Billy West as Fry, Katey Sagal as Leela, and Lauren Tom as Amy. The only main absence is John DiMaggio as the foul-mouthed robot Bender.
There are reports that he's finalizing a deal, but also that his parts are being recast. If you look at John's Twitter page, he's been retweeting fans that said he's irreplaceable and urging for a deal to be made. So we'll just have to wait and see.
The new season is expected to come out in 2023. All past seasons are currently available to stream on Hulu.

A 20-year-old guy in Akron thought it was a good idea to call in a fake bomb threat to Ottawa police on during the protests.
He claimed he was going to set off a bomb in downtown Ottawa, because he doesn't agree with mask mandates. So they obviously had to take it seriously. But it turned out he didn't have a bomb, and the whole thing was a hoax.
That's not the dumb part though. Turns out he called the wrong Ottawa.
He just googled the number for Ottawa Police and ended up calling a precinct in the small town of Ottawa, Ohio instead. It's a town of around 4,000 people, about 60 miles outside Toledo.
A police spokesman there said they were surprised he didn't recognize the "419" area code, since about a quarter of the state uses it. Last we heard, they were still deciding what to charge him with.

A team at the University of Tokyo used chemicals found in wine and chocolate to create a new fabric that neutralizes B.O.
They say it might lead to new clothes that you could wear multiple times without washing. (wait..you can't do that now?? sniff sniff)

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - A study found chimpanzees give each other first aid. Researchers in Germany saw a chimp catch an insect, then crush it up and spread it onto a cut on another chimp's foot, possibly to relieve pain. Then over the next 15 months, they found 76 more examples of the same group of chimps doing it with other wounds.
