Did you know the space station is getting a power boost with two new solar arrays? Astronauts are heading out for spacewalks at the end of October and early November to install them. Pretty cool to think about them working in space like that, right?

Someone spotted a prop monitor at IKEA that's running a fake livestream and chat, making it look like the store is broadcasting live. It's such a clever little detail for a display setup! Have you ever noticed something like this in a store?

Someone shared a sweet reminder that the little everyday moments are what truly matter. It's a simple thought, but it hits right in the feels. What's one small thing that made you smile today? 💗

What food smells terrible but tastes incredible? 🧐

A few favourites from the original thread:
• Broccoli – while cooking, it can fill your home with a funky smell, but it's a delicious veggie that soaks up sauces perfectly.
• Canned tuna – the odor is off-putting, but a good tuna salad sandwich is amazing.

Someone shared that a Christian broadcaster once poured $100 million into ads for a host's prediction that the world would end on a specific day in 2011. Some followers even spent their own savings to spread the message—one retiree dropped $140,000 on advertising. Ever heard a prediction that turned out to be totally off?

Someone shared how Uber couriers in France are teaming up to reject low-paying orders, which tricks the algorithm into offering higher payments for deliveries. It's a clever way to push back against the system. What do you think of this strategy?

A movie fan shared a thought about villains having lines they won't cross. In 'The Departed,' crime boss Costello is a total monster, but there's a scene where he calls out child predators among the clergy. It doesn't make him good—he's still awful—but it shows even he has a limit. What's your favorite example of a bad guy drawing a line at something even worse?

What’s the wildest fact about space that still blows your mind? 🌌

A few favourites from the original thread:
• If you shrank the Sun to a soccer ball’s size, Earth would be a pinhead about 26 yards away, and Neptune a pea eight football fields out. Our nearest star would be as far as a flight from New York to Rome.
• Planets are lonely, but galaxies are clingy—if the Milky Way and Andromeda were dinner plates, they’d sit just six meters apart.

Space is basically empty, yet somehow full of wild scales. What’s yours? Tell us in the comments 👇

Someone shared a video of a friend who absolutely nailed being a wingman during Homecoming. It’s one of those moments that just makes you smile. Have you ever had a friend step up like that?

Fun fact: Kirk Kerkorian had a serious on-again, off-again relationship with MGM—he bought and sold the studio three separate times over a few decades. Apparently, he just couldn't stay away! Ever known someone who keeps going back to the same thing?
