Hawaii Has Unique Soda Cans

Here's something you would probably never notice on your own- soda cans in Hawaii are different from all other soda cans. That may be the case even if you've been to Hawaii a few times and had soda. To find out why, you are going to learn more about soda cans than you ever thought you would, from Half as Interesting. The reasons have to do with the confluence of product design, raw materials, shipping, and most of all economies of scale. Everything in the manufacturing industry has to do with economies of scale, where tiny little tradeoffs are made and the value of long-term investments must be compared to the value of short-term investments. The difference is also because Hawaii is unique, and that's what we love about it, even if you've never noticed the difference in their soda cans.

Mark Twain was a Confederate Soldier for a Couple of Weeks

In 1861, 25-year-old Samuel Clemens answered the call of Missouri's governor to step up and defend his home state. This was governor Claiborne Fox Jackson, a Confederate sympathizer who was forced out of office in July of that year. Missouri never officially seceded from the Union, and its men joined both the Union and Confederate armies. The young man who would later become Mark Twain joined a Confederate unit. However, his "unit" was made up of men who didn't really know anything about the military.

In all, the famed author’s two-week stint as a soldier in the Civil War largely amounted to him larping as a Confederate.

Twain didn't see much action before he gave up and went to stay with his sister in St. Louis, and then headed off to Nevada. But the experience gave him something to write about later as a comedy of errors. His unit tried to retreat once and realized they didn't even know how to do that. Read about Twain's short but comical military service at Historynet.

Men Are Hardwired To Choose Sex Over This Activity, Says Science

Which would you choose: sex or food? The choice seems obvious. Food is a staple for living, after all.
Sure, we can survive 30 days without it, as long as we're hydrated, but without food, our brains and bodies would just deteriorate, and we would literally be dead. And let's be honest, some men already make us feel like that.

If I had to choose between the headache that is men, and never getting the chance to have pizza again, I think it's obvious which one is better.

Swinger Shares Tips for Going to a Lifestyle Club for the First Time

If you're new to the swingers lifestyle, you probably have a lot of questions. @Professor Pineapple is a great source of information and education about how to get started and what to expect.
In this clip, Professor is tackling tips for going to a lifestyle club or event for the first time. You'll definitely want to visit the website to find out the 'theme' of the night so you can dress accordingly - he says it makes it more fun and is a great way for people to approach each other about their outfits. He also advises to go with no expectations, as well as the why, and other tips for first timers.
Going in with no expectations makes a lot of sense - there's no pressure and things just happen organically. When you set expectations, a lot of times there's disappointment that things didn't happen the way you thought they would, so this is a good tip and probably the best one he shared. He also mentions that you don't have to 'play' with anybody - just go and have a good time.
Commenters shared their tips and experiences as well. @Suzy Mokry shared, "We made the mistake of going on "newbie night". We went again on "couples' night" - Definitely more comfortable. We aren't into bulls hanging around." @Passionflower61 remembers, "Good lord I went to a club in Tampa… it was extremely stimulating, hubby and I had a great time … with just ourselves!" @shellytime admits, "I was so nervous and shy the first time I went to the club we go to now" to which Professor replied, "We've all been there". Everybody's got to start somewhere!

Cunnilingus Positions You & Your Partner Will Totally Fall in Love With

Our mental image of cunnilingus tends to be pretty formulaic: the receiving partner lying on their back, legs spread and a partner bending down to pleasure them. This position is hardly the only way to do it. Obvious variations include the classic “Sit on My Face” positions, as well as the equally iconic 69. But these three positions don’t even encompass a fraction of what’s on offer in the world of oral sex.

An Approved List of Things That Can Go Into Your Vagina

Remember that scene in Broad City when Ilana sees police officers in the subway station, so she stashes her weed in her vagina? She dubs it “nature’s pocket” and it turns out she’s not the only one using this pocket in unexpected ways.
People with vaginas have attempted to smuggle or hide loaded pistols, Rolex watches, marijuana pipes, crack, lighters, money, cellphones, cigarettes, makeup, fireworks (yes, really), alcohol and a host of other drugs and stolen items in their vag. Of course, few people would actually consider inserting things like loaded guns and fireworks inside their vaginas. But sometimes, in an attempt to make things more interesting in the bedroom, some do make questionable decisions about what actually goes in there.
Sure, your vagina can stretch and accommodate quite a few things, but being able to do it doesn’t mean you should. Putting the wrong thing in can result in a host of health issues, from major injuries and tears in your vaginal canal to infections and irritation… not to speak of the embarrassment at your OB-GYN’s office.
Turns out, the list of approved things to put in your vagina is short and easy to remember.

Etiquette Rules We Should Never Have Abandoned

RSVP'ing in a timely manner 

Maybe it's because people receive so many invitations or perhaps it's because invites have become so casual, often sent via email or social media, but the fact is that RSVP'ing has become as rare as men removing their hats indoors. While the hat issue isn't a big deal anymore, failing to respond to an invite is not just a breach of good etiquette but a breach of basic humanity, says etiquette expert Diane Gottsman, author of Modern Etiquette for a Better Life and founder of the Protocol School of Texas. "People need to buy food, plan entertainment, and other things that take significant cost and time," she says. "Not RSVP'ing or waiting until the last minute makes the host's job infinitely harder." People often stress about sending a negative reply, which is one reason they may delay, but it's a lot easier to do if you know the best way to say no to an invitation.

It means that single-sex schools will no longer be required to accommodate pupils who identify as transgender for fear of legal action, nor will they have to affirm a pupil’s preferred pronoun simply because a child demands it.

Carving out time for connection amidst the chaos of parenthood is important. Very important. Without it, it’s easy to feel detached and distant.
