There's nothing quite like staring at a beautiful sunset, especially when it's over the water. There's something so serene about it and I can't help but feel my spirits lift. Who doesn't love that? I was recently walking with a friend in Brooklyn and the view over the bridge was spectacular. I went home that night with a big smile on my face.

People told us all about the feelings they can't get enough of after Redditor finallyanurse asked the online community,

"What is a thing that is universally loved by all people?"

Indeed!

"Getting water out of your ear."

To which this person replied:

"And if it doesn't cause an ear infection...well that's an added bonus."

​"Clean bedsheets."

Actuarbya

To which this person replied:

"I always change my bed sheets right before I leave for vacation. Then when I come home from a trip, after a grueling day of traveling and shuffling and sitting on a long uncomfortable flight and driving home, I jump into a scalding hot shower and scrub every inch of my body before crawling into some clean, cool, perfectly made sheets that past-me gifted future-me."

I can attest that changing your sheets before a trip is a smart thing to do.

"That first sip..."

"That first sip from the water fountain after a hard day of being a pubescent monster."

Halsieg

I think I just try to avoid water fountains to begin with. People are gross and drop their gum and wrappers there, at least here in my city!

Word.

"The sky."

MercurianHermes

To which this person replied:

"I never appreciated a clear blue sky until the wildfires here in Oregon were by my house last year. It was day after day of red-orange skies and then the smoke settled in for two weeks. I love a clear blue sky. And a clear night to see the stars."

"That cozy feeling..."

"That cozy feeling keeping you glued to the bed when you wake up, for a moment nothing is more comfortable than that."

ElectricalDirt9917

This is true! Why would you want to move? I definitely don't.

"Watching people..."

"Watching people get karma that they deserved."

slickedjax

I mean... yeah. It's pretty sweet, not going to lie.

I second that!

"Time off with pay."

VetusVesperlito

It's what we all deserve. Workers, unite!

What's your favorite feeling?

Olympic Snowboarder Chloe Kim Sparks Debate After Calling Out Fans Who Only 'Facetune' Themselves In Photos With Her

Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim is used to making headlines for what she does on the slopes. This week, though, she's going viral for something entirely different: a TikTok calling out fans who "Facetune" themselves in photos with her while leaving her completely unedited.

For anyone who's blissfully unfamiliar, Facetune is a photo-editing app that's become a social media staple, offering everything from skin smoothing and teeth whitening to facial reshaping and AI-powered filters. Some people use it with a light touch, while others opt for a much more dramatic transformation—but either way, it's a common part of posting selfies online.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.

Gay Conservative German Politician Resigns After Welcoming Child Via Surrogacy Despite Publicly Opposing It

German conservative Jens Spahn resigned from his position as the leader of the joint CDU/CSU (Union) parliamentary group in the 21st Bundestag after it emerged he and his husband welcomed a child via surrogacy despite openly opposing it.

Per the 1990 Embryo Protection Act, surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, a position long supported by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which reaffirmed its opposition earlier this year. While German law allows parents to raise children born through surrogacy abroad, arranging a surrogate within Germany is punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine.

The Vance family welcomed their fourth child, Alec Neel Vance, who joins older siblings Ewan, 9, Vivek, 6, and Mirabel, 4. Trump later shared a photo showing Vivek holding his newborn brother while Mirabel looks on.
