Guy Jumps Into Tub Full Of 1,250 Bottles Of Hot Sauce

‘It’s in my butt!’

It seems like Cemre Candar will do almost anything for attention. So long as it involves pouring huge amounts of random substances in a bathtub and documenting the results on his YouTube channel. But he outdid himself in his latest video by pouring 1,250 bottles of hot sauce into a tub and then dunking himself inside with disastrous results.

One thing the YouTube star apparently didn’t count on was how the scorching, spicy hot sauce would seep into his skin. That because apparent when just moments after dipping himself into the hot tub, he screamed out, “It’s in my butt!”

Candar has racked up millions of views with his other videos, such as when he poured more than 500 pounds of liquid chocolate into the same tub, marinating in 1,500 liquified Oreos and dunking himself in 600 pounds of beer. But this may be his biggest hit yet, with nearly four million people on YouTube alone having already watched the clip. It’s also sweet validation for people who aren’t huge fans of his over-the-top approach. Though for anyone who thinks it was a total waste of time, Candar says the bottles of hot sauce were all about to expire, “so no money and hot sauce were wasted in this video.”

A former Miss World contestant was disqualified for being a mom. Now she's fighting back.

Some beauty pageants, like the Miss America competition, have done away with the swimsuit portions of the competitions, thus dipping their toes in the 21st century. Other aspects of beauty pageants remain stuck in the 1950s, and we're not even talking about the whole "judging women mostly on their looks" thing. One beauty pageant winner was disqualified for being a mom, as if you can't be beautiful after you've had a kid. Now she's trying to get the Miss World competition to update their rules.

Veronika Didusenko won the Miss Ukraine pageant in 2018. After four days, she was disqualified because pageant officials found out she was a mom to 5-year-old son Alex, and had been married. Didusenko said she had been aware of Miss World's rule barring mother from competing, but was encouraged to compete anyways by pageant organizers.

NASA's solar probe sent back its first findings, and it's more incredible than we thought

One mystery in our universe is a step closer to being solved. NASA's Parker Solar Probe launched last year to help scientists understand the sun. Now, it has returned its first findings. Four papers were published in the journal Nature detailing the findings of Parker's first two flybys. It's one small step for a solar probe, one giant leap for mankind.



It is astounding that we've advanced to the point where we've managed to build a probe capable of flying within 15 million miles from the surface of the sun, but here we are. Parker can withstand temperatures of up to 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit and travels at 430,000 miles per hour. It's the fastest human-made vehicle, and no other human-made object has been so close to the sun.

Since the mid '90s the phrase "God Forgives, Brothers Don't" has been part of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point's football team's lexicon.

Over the past few years, the team has taken the field flying a black skull-and-crossbones flag with an acronym for the phrase, "GFBD" on the skull's upper lip. Supporters of the team also use it on social media as #GFBD.
