Got this guy for Christmas 2016, I was 7. He was probably my favorite thing ever. He is a standard upgrade Throwthings one, I remember obsessing over it and checking the site constantly. I used to put him on a bench in the corner of my room next to a green monster puppet and a full sized Poltergeist clown I made (poorly).
In December of 2019, my house caught on fire, and the corner of my room that he was in had practically melted into a giant mass. On the bench, the monster and clown had fused to each other and the bench. They had melted onto Slappy too. He is probably the only thing to survive from my room that wasn’t in my closet. I remember before my family realized he was salvageable, I went into my room to see (my parents told me not to, I pushed very hard and I still regret it), and I thought he was done for. He was pitch black covered in soot. It looked like it had just stained him.
So, soon after, my parents would check on the house often. We lived with some family that lived nearby for a while, and there was a cleanup crew working on getting all the ruined junk out. My parents very soon discovered that they were also making a pile of stuff they were going to take for themselves. That’s where most of the stuff that I still have was, along with jewelry, electronics, etc. I remember one day I got home from school, and Slappy was in the garage, covered in black, but clearly fine.
He works perfectly, cleaned up nicely, all the soot was easy to just wipe off. Only permanent damage done was on his clothes, there are some weird pink stains from the soot or something. These are recent photos. He is the sole survivor of a house fire that destroyed almost all of my belongings (all that’s left other than Slappy are some plushies and baby toys that were in my closet).
Idk, I always thought that was interesting. When I told my friends they said to burn the dummy, it freaks them out a little.

Adam Peaty has once again found himself at the center of controversy following his marriage to Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, after recently revealing a name change post-nuptials.
On December 27, the Olympic swimmer tied the knot with Holly Ramsay in a lavish ceremony at Bath Abbey, a celebration that notably excluded members of Peaty’s side of the family.
Highlights
Adam Peaty’s decision to change his name in connection with Holly Ramsay sparked fierce online debate, with critics questioning the move.
The name-change controversy deepened existing family tensions, as sources claimed Adam’s parents were “upset” by the move after also being uninvited from the wedding.
The drama intensified after the 35-year-old swimmer’s ex allegedly accused him of hypocrisy, citing a past incident involving their son.
The couple’s decision to unveil their updated names shortly after the wedding sparked a heated online debate, with critics branding the move “pathetic” and “awful,” particularly in light of pointed remarks made by Peaty’s ex about the change.

Just two days after their wedding, and as the couple jetted off on their honeymoon, Peaty updated his name on social media.
He wasn’t the only one to do so, as his wife Holly Ramsay also changed her name.
The newlyweds debuted their updated names on their respective Instagram accounts, opting for a double-barrelled surname to honor each other.

Holly announced her name as Holly Ramsay Peaty, while her husband became Adam Ramsay Peaty.
While it is traditionally more common for women to take their husband’s surname, Adam’s decision prompted strong reactions online.
Social media users were quick to share their opinions, with many questioning the motivation behind the move.

One person reacted, “Changing his name to Ramsay-Peaty… It is hard to avoid the uncharitable thought that this is a business deal as much as it is a marriage.”
Another commented, “How awful that peaty decided to make his name different… and Holly possibly wants to hang onto her name because her father has made it famous.”

A third added, “For holly, i think she still wants her celebrity surname and its a nicer name than peaty. For adam, i think hes chomping at the bit to fully immerse himself into his new celebrity family and is loving being a ramsay.”
Some even dragged the Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay into the conversation, writing, “When they must know how much their good friends the Beckham’s must be hurting from their son doing pretty much the same thing… They seem like an amazingly shallow bunch.”
Both the Olympian swimmer and his wife adopted the double-barrelled surname Ramsay Peaty, which they revealed on Instagram

The remark referred to the reportedly strained relationship between David and Victoria Beckham and their son Brooklyn Beckham, who, like Adam, adopted a double-barrelled surname after marrying Nicola Peltz and now goes by Brooklyn Joseph Peltz Beckham.

The Beckham and Ramsay families are known to be close friends, often describing one another as “extended family.”
Shortly after Adam’s name-change reveal, his ex-girlfriend Eirianedd Munroe, who shares a five-year-old son, George, with the swimmer, allegedly addressed the situation, calling the move “hypocritical.”

According to a friend of Munroe, Adam had previously refused her suggestion that their son carry both parents’ surnames when he was born in 2020.

The friend told The Sun, “It feels a bit rich to Eiri that Adam has been quick to change his name but didn’t allow her the same right for their son.”
“It appears Adam is being a bit hypocritical.”

However, while Munroe was reportedly unhappy with Adam’s name change, she is said to hold no ill will toward Holly.
The source continued, “Eiri knows she is lucky that George has a stepmum like Holly. Although she says Adam has double standards over changing his name, she can’t fault him as a dad.”
A friend of the Peaty family claimed that the move was sure to unintentionally “upset” Adam’s parents, Caroline and Mark Peaty

Another source close to the Peaty family told the publication that Adam’s new name “will feel like a massive slight to Caroline [his mom] and Mark [his dad], but Adam just wants the circus to end.”
They continued, “Holly wanted to double-barrel their surnames and Adam has followed suit. It’s what they always planned. His parents may be upset but it’s not intentional.”

Reportedly, the swimmer’s entire family, except for his sister Bethany Peaty, were uninvited from the wedding due to the ongoing feud.
According to multiple reports, the falling out between Adam and his parents began during preparations for his and Holly’s engagement party in December last year.

Tensions escalated further last month when Caroline was not invited to Holly’s bachelorette party, despite Holly’s mother, sisters, and family friends, including Victoria Beckham, being in attendance.
Adam’s aunt, Louise Williams, publicly criticized Holly at the time, calling her “divisive and hurtful” for excluding her mother-in-law.
Louise also reportedly sent her nephew a scathing text message moments before the nuptials on December 27, writing, “I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still.”
“Shame on you both. Shame. Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.”

The controversy deepened further when Gordon Ramsay, during his father-of-the-bride speech, appeared to make a subtle dig at the absence of Adam’s family.
Referencing his wife, Tana Ramsay, Gordon told Adam, “Look at Tana, and that’s what you have to look forward to.”
He added that his wife “will be a good mum to them both,” before turning to his daughter and remarking, “Shame you don’t have the same.”
Addressing Gordon’s cryptic remarks, an insider told The Sun in a recent interview, “This was the Ramsays’ plan all along. They wanted Adam’s family gone, and they have succeeded.”
“Caroline did everything and more to help Adam. She and Mark sacrificed a lot to get him where he is. Adam ought to be ashamed of himself for going ahead with the wedding without them after everything they did to support him.”
“Gordon in control of that relationship surprised he hasn’t made him sign a contract regarding money and income,” wrote one netizen

As winter fully sets in and temperatures drop, Heidi Klum opted to go topless while enjoying a sun-soaked vacation with her husband, Tom Kaulitz.
The 52-year-old supermodel has been vacationing on the tropical Caribbean island of St. Barths (Saint Barthélemy) since Friday, December 26.
The couple jetted off after a snowy Christmas in New York City with Klum’s four children – Leni, Henry, Johan, and Lou, and Tom’s brother, Bill Kaulitz.
Highlights
Heidi Klum sparked heated debate after being photographed topless during a beach vacation in St. Barths with husband Tom Kaulitz.
Netizens were divided, with some defending her choice as culturally normal in parts of Europe while others criticized her for “seeking attention.”
The supermodel has previously addressed her stance on her topless moments, calling them a “very strategic” choice.
Heidi’s back-to-back bare-breasted photos from the island have gone viral, with netizens calling her a “n*dist at heart,” some even attributing it to her German heritage.

On Sunday, December 29, Heidi Klum arrived at the beach wearing a cherry-print white bikini set under a sheer floral cover-up, paired with white sunglasses, a beach bag, and Birkenstocks.
However, soon after, the model ditched her bikini top, leaving her breasts completely exposed, an appearance that was widely photographed by paparazzi on the scene.

A third explained, “Tons of European women over a certain age grew up with topless bathing being the norm… It’s nothing to be shocked by. It’s not even done to show off. It’s the feeling of freedom and having an almost all over tan.”
They continued, “People need to stop being prudish. And with regard to her age, she looks a lot better than many young twenty something women… Age shouldn’t matter, nor what you look like. If a country permits it, then it shouldn’t matter.”

During his father-of-the-bride speech, the 59-year-old Michelin-starred chef began by commenting on how beautiful his daughter looked in her bridal attire and called his new son-in-law “a lucky man.”
Referencing his wife, Tana Ramsay, Gordon told Adam, “Look at Tana, and that’s what you have to look forward to.”
According to a report by The Sun, Gordon added that his wife “will be a good mum to them both.”

The television personality then appeared to make a subtle dig at the absence of Peaty’s family, looking at his daughter and saying, “Shame you don’t have the same.”
The Peaty family feud came to light just days before the couple’s wedding.
According to multiple reports, the falling out between Adam and his parents began during preparations for the couple’s engagement party in December last year.

At the time, his mother, Caroline Peaty, was said to be upset that some extended family members were not invited and was also allegedly uncomfortable with the presence of a camera crew filming the event for Ramsay’s docuseries.
Tensions escalated further last month when Caroline was not invited to Holly’s bachelorette party, despite Holly’s mother, sisters, and family friends, including Victoria Beckham, being in attendance.

Aunts and uncles are often like bonus parents in a child’s life. They’re the fun ones, the safe ones, the people who step in with extra love, guidance, and support when it’s needed most. Sometimes, those bonds grow even stronger than anyone expects.
For one woman, that bond with her nephew deepened in a life-changing way when he began calling her “mom.” She shared how her brother and sister-in-law slowly pushed the boy aside after having children of their own, treating him like an outsider. His grades slipped, his behavior changed, and he began spiraling. Seeing this, she and her husband took him in, gave him stability, care, and unconditional love. Years later, when the biological mother discovered the boy viewed his aunt as his real parent, family tensions exploded. Keep reading to see how it all unfolded.
It’s always comforting to have relatives you can rely on—people who show up, offer support, and genuinely care when you need them most

Kids can feel deeply neglected when parents are emotionally unavailable or consistently absent from their lives
Kids naturally look up to their parents for almost everything. From learning how to ride a bike to figuring out right from wrong, mom and dad are often a child’s first teachers, role models, and safe place. The parent-child bond plays a huge role in shaping confidence, emotional security, and self-worth. When children feel supported and loved, they’re more likely to thrive both emotionally and mentally. That relationship lays the foundation for how they see themselves and the world.
Things become deeply painful when parents begin neglecting a child’s emotional or physical needs. An abandoned child is not always one who is physically left behind, but often one whose parents stop showing up emotionally. It happens when caregivers no longer provide attention, care, or basic support for growth and development. This kind of neglect can quietly damage a child’s sense of safety. Over time, it can leave lasting emotional scars that are hard to heal.
The American Psychological Association explains child neglect as the consistent lack of attention, care, or affection that a child needs to grow normally. This includes emotional warmth, physical care, and encouragement. Neglect often stems from indifference, lack of awareness, or personal struggles faced by caregivers. Even when unintentional, the effects can be serious and long-lasting. Children may internalize the neglect and believe they are unworthy of love or care.
Studies show that children and teens who experience parental rejection often carry heavy emotional guilt. The more rejected a child feels, the stronger those feelings of guilt can become. Many start blaming themselves for the lack of love or attention they receive. Research suggests that children with anxious attachment styles or feelings of non-acceptance are especially vulnerable. This can lead to long-term issues with trust, self-esteem, and emotional regulation.

It’s important to provide children with a warm, supportive, and welcoming environment where they feel safe, valued, and heard
That’s why it’s incredibly important for nearby adults—relatives, teachers, or guardians—to step in with compassion. Children who feel abandoned need consistent support, patience, and understanding. Giving them time, space, and opportunities to talk helps them process their feelings safely. Listening without judgment can make a world of difference. Sometimes, just knowing someone cares is enough to begin healing.
When supporting a child in this situation, it’s important not to immediately correct their feelings about their parents. Telling them how they “should” feel can shut them down emotionally. Their experiences and emotions are real to them, even if complicated. Instead, allow them to express what they feel freely. Validation helps build trust and emotional safety.
Making a child feel genuinely welcomed is another powerful step. Simple gestures like including them in daily routines, family meals, or conversations can help them feel they belong. Feeling accepted can slowly replace feelings of rejection. A welcoming environment gives children a sense of stability they may have been missing. It reminds them they are wanted and valued.
Positive praise can go a long way in rebuilding a child’s confidence. Acknowledging their efforts, strengths, and small wins helps them feel seen. Encouragement doesn’t have to be grand, sometimes a kind word or reassurance is enough. Over time, positive reinforcement helps reshape how they see themselves. It teaches them that they are worthy of love, respect, and care.

There have never been as many fake images online as there are currently. Experts warn people that “AI slop” is only going to become a bigger problem in the coming years. Yet, sources suggest that there are already more than 15 billion AI-generated images online.
It’s not surprising, then, that people online are starting to doubt the authenticity of images. It can make picking your next travel destination a bit tricky. This summer, an elderly couple were scammed with an AI-generated video of the non-existent cable car ride in Malaysia, Kuak Skyride.
But some destinations may look or sound too good to be true, yet are 100% real. In one thread online, folks have been sharing the most beautiful places in their homelands that people often mistake for AI slop. When one netizen asked, “What place in your country could be mistaken for having been created by AI, even though it really exists?” locals had many answers.
From the Giant’s Causeway in Ireland to the perfectly shaped city of Neuf-Brisach in France, see which places around the world might be so beautiful that some folks mistake them for a scam.
Neuf-Brisach. I spent my childhood there, playing hide and seek in the fortifications.

It’s really beautiful there, unfortunately huge part of the national park is missing trees, since few years ago, there was a huge forest fire. (And then last year and I think this year again).
Český Ráj (czech paradise) is another beautiful place, full of sandstone formations, place worth to visit.

The whole (and huge) chapel made of human bones in Sedlec near Kutná Hora, Bohemia.
The bones in the Sedlec Ossuary come largely from the 13th–15th centuries, when the local cemetery became very… popular burial ground within Central Europe because the abbot of the Sedlec monastery scattered holy soil brought from Jerusalem across the graveyard. The Black Death and later the Hussite Wars overwhelmed the site with tens of thousands of bodies.
And if you played *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, well… you know it’s basically all your fault.

Kummakivi, literally named “Strange rock” is a huge rock balancing on top of another. It’s from ice age when ice was moving a lot of rocks around.
Cannot be moved by hand even though looks like it might fall over any minute.
