How's your phone charge?
Do you need some juice?
You can get it from your friends phone (as long as you have the right cord..some just need to be laid together)
A woman just found this out and was shocked (i guess I never really thought about it)
If you do it, just make sure you're not transferring or syncing. But..getting some charge might be a bigger ask than you think!! That is precious stuff!
I do know that you can charge your phone with a USB port on a TV..so if travellling and your forget your wall plug but have the cord, you're all set.

You've heard about a "pay it forward" chain at a drive-thru . . . where someone pays for the person behind them. It's nice, but it also puts them in a spot where they have to decide if they'll do it for the next person.
Well, a woman is going viral on TikTok for sharing her experience of someone paying it backward.
Her name is Samantha, and she was at a Dunkin' drive thru last week. And when she pulled up to the window, the clerk told her that the guy ahead of her . . . who'd left . . . told them that SHE would be paying for HIS order.
In the caption, she said, "To the random guy in front of me . . . who lied to the employee . . . I hope you have the day you deserve."

AskReddit today asks, "What 'outdated' slang words or terms do you still use often?" You can probably tell how old people are by their responses: (sometimes it's fun to do this just to be funny)
"Gnarly."
"Stoked."
"Sweet!"
"Word."
"Sick!"
"Peace," instead of "goodbye."
"Dude," regardless of gender or era. (I still use this a lot)
"Tight!"
"Okie dokie."
"Now we're cooking with gas."
"Can you dig it?"
"Da bomb." Or, "It's the Bomb.com."
"Hella."
"Bees Knees"
"Bogus."
"Whippersnapper."
"Homeslice."
"Smell ya later!"
"Oh, snap!"
"Fetch!"
"Totes."
"Golly."
"Noiiiiice!"
"Jeez Louise."
Someone said, "I'm known as the 'Right On' guy at work."
Someone said, "I still use 'bruh' and 'slay.' It's cringe when I catch myself saying it, but it just falls out."
Someone said, I say "bananas" way too much.
Someone said, "I still call people 'cats' occasionally."
"Come on sweetheart, let's blow this pop stand."

Do you know why they say, "breed like rabbits"? Well one woman learned that lesson the hard way.
A woman in Michigan called Saginaw County Animal Care & Control, and said she needed help, because her house had become OVERRUN by rabbits.
She said she bought a few rabbits as pets for her kids . . . but they started breeding, and she couldn't stop them.
The woman tried to separate them by putting them in pens in her basement . . . but they got around that by chewing through drywall and other materials, making it "impossible" to contain them.
She thought the number of rabbits had grown to 50, but animal control removed more than 65. And it was even worse, because many of the female rabbits were pregnant.
