Because expecting parents remain determined to showcase the gender of their child in extreme ways (presumably in an attempt to get anybody but themselves and the grandparents to care — I’m just here for the bottomless mimosas and goodie bag), this is a video of an over-the-top gender reveal that
Because space is totally nuts (I know because I’ve been there), this is a timelapse video of the aurora borealis as viewed from the International Space Station. FUN FACT: did you know the Northern Lights are actually the souls of everyone who died recently escaping the planet? Thanks for coming
