The Top New Year’s Resolution for 2025 Isn’t Fitness for Once

The Top New Year’s Resolution for 2025 Isn’t Fitness

In 2025, the top New Year’s resolution isn’t about getting shredded; it’s about getting solvent. Americans have officially traded burpees for budgets, and instead of tracking calories, they’re tracking expenses. After all, why worry about six-pack abs when your student loans and credit card debt are bench-pressing your financial future? Turns out, the real flex this year is a low-interest rate and a solid savings plan.

This New Robot Vacuum Has an Arm That Picks Stuff Up

[Partner] The future is here, and it looks like a robot vacuum with a tiny arm. Forget the days of having to pick up socks, charging cables, or yesterday’s questionable snack wrappers before running the vacuum. This bad boy tidies up like a judgment-free assistant who doesn’t side-eye your messy floor. Who needs a roommate when you’ve got a robot that can scoop up your chaos without a single complaint?

You Can Book a Night on a World War II Submarine Through Airbnb

If you’ve ever dreamed of bunking like a sailor on a World War II submarine, Airbnb has got you covered—literally, in about 20 square feet of claustrophobia-inducing steel. Forget king-size beds and infinity pools; this experience is all about cramped quarters and pipes that look suspiciously leaky. It’s the perfect getaway for history buffs—or people who think escape rooms are too easy.

30 of the Scariest Flights Pilots Have Experienced

Bird strikes are no joke, but imagine a whole flock deciding your plane looks like their next big target. One pilot described an incident where birds hit both engines mid-takeoff. The plane sounded like a popcorn maker, and the engines? Let’s just say they weren’t having their best day. Fortunately the pilot managed an emergency landing, and everyone walked away safely. Birds: 1, Airplane: 0.

Are Humanoid Robots the Next Big Thing in Mass Production?

If robots are mass-produced, imagine the chaos at the factory. One robot might complain about its poorly installed elbow joint, while another critiques the color palette of its chassis. By the time they hit shelves, they’ll unionize faster than you can say "artificial intelligence." On the bright side, at least they’ll probably come with a user manual for their attitude.

The Roundup

20 pivotal events history class skipped. Ants proving they’re the true teamwork MVPs. Coffee’s surprising impact on your gut health. The temperature trick to tear-free onion chopping. Apple might owe you money for letting siri spy on you. What does Lorem Ipsum mean? Mesmerizing mirrored vision of Hong Kong.
