The age old sentiment when it rains, it pours just got a massive booze-infused upgrade, cause now it's apparently raining tequila. Yep, what a time to be alive, dudes. Better yet this odd nature-defying situation was not concocted by the mind behind that crazy little flick called 'Cloud With a Chance of Meatballs.'
Nope, in an effort to capitalize on Germans' general well-documented distaste for their consistent rainy weather and love of tequila, the Mexico-based ad agency Lapiz went ahead and started up with vibrating tequila at such high frequencies that it turns to mist, using ultrasonic humidifiers, and then as the mist condensates and reforms as a liquid, it proceeds to fall from the cloud as separate raindrops of sweet-distilled tequila. Ahem, anyone else out there thirsty?

As weed keeps getting more and more legal, edibles keep getting more and more common. This is a good thing for many. Legalizing weed has incredibly positive effects for many, whether you need pain relief, stress relief, or you don't want to go to jail for basically no reason.
But in the moment, you know that moment when you realize that maybe eating the whole brownie was a bad idea, and you've got dinner with your grandparents in 20 minutes, and, oh, shit, why did I eat the whole thing, it can be a bad thing. But there's a reason why eating weed can be more intense.
AsapSCIENCE explains why this is the case, and as a bonus, they also explain why you get the munchies.

Everyone knows that the Oscars were a total disaster.
But how can we make sure that that doesn't happen again? Better typeface.
No, that doesn't mean replacing all type with Comic Sans, it means making things easier to read. This includes making everything from voting to taking your medicine easier to do. And it's really easy to do. Wouldn't that be great? It might even prevent this.
This video from Vox breaksdown how typeface affects readers and monsterous, world-changing consequences, but also how easy it would be to change these things.

Don't you wish you could throw caution to the wind, hit the roof, and start parkouring around. Me too. I mean, I could do this I just don't want to.
This parkour chase puts you in the driver seat for a death-defying chase on the Moroccan rooftop.
Here's me doing it:

When a movie is played around the world, most people only think about the difference in terms of dialogue. Is it dubbed or subtitled is usually a go to question, and then people claim they don't like either. Who wants to read movies anyway?
But Pixar always goes the extra mile, and instead of just leaving their audio team to dub in different languages, animators actually make changes to the films to make them more relatable to international audiences. They're overachievers.
Some of those differences are laid out in this video from the Oh My Disney YouTube channel. Check it out.

Crazy times deserve a crazy food, and Kit Kat is going for the gold.
A Kit Kat specialty shop is opening in Tokyo and to mark the occasion, they’re making special Kit Kat sushi, which is exactly what it sounds like.
According to Kotaku, “Kit Kat sushi will come in three flavors: Maguro (tuna), Tamago (egg), and Uni (sea urchin). Their actual taste is slightly different, but the treats were created in the image of the sushi that inspired them.”
But don’t worry, there isn’t actually fish in them. The Kit Kats are served over puffed rice and covered in white chocolate, and are only made to look like sushi. The tuna is raspberry flavored, the Tamago is pumpkin, and then Uni has melon and mascaraone cheese. All are wrapped in seaweed.
None of these should be that surprising. Japan is world renown for their extensive flavors of Kit Kats. Like these:

Japan might be about 14 hours ahead of New York, but sometimes it feels like the whole country is light years ahead of the world.
Bathrooms at Tokyo Narita International Airport now come equipped with wipes for your smartphone because those things are disgusting and, man, you need to clean it. Why are we just doing this now?
The company that installed them, NTT Docomo, Japan’s largest telecommunications company, said the wipes will be available until March 15, at which point you’ll be forced to clean your phone on your own time and hopefully not get sick. After all, “cell phones carry 10 times more bacteria than most toilet seats” — a man in Uganda even contracted Ebola after stealing one, according to Live Science.
NTT Docomo also provided a handy how-to video for using Japanese toilets and information about the wipes, which also include helpful information, like WiFi passwords. Sanitary, informative, and efficient, these wipes are what 2017 are all about.
So remember, if someone asks how often you should clean your phone, respond “as often as possible” because you now have no excuse.
