Danny DeVito's bizarre comedic improv pushed 'It's Always Sunny' to reverse-engineer a song.

When Danny DeVito made up goofy lyrics on 'It's Always Sunny,' they put them in a disco song

Danny DeVito is one of our boldest comedic improvisers, often elevating material with subtle—and sometimes strange—details that only he would think to try. One great example is from a 2006 episode of the long-running FX sitcomIt’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, when he added a seemingly random bit of dialogue that inspired his castmates to reverse-engineer a disco song. Well, sort of.

If you’re confused, so was Sunny creator Rob McElhenney, who appeared opposite DeVito in the aforementioned scene, a highlight from the Season Two episode "Mac Bangs Dennis’ Mom." At this point in the story, McElhenney’s Mac shows up to a nightclub as a reluctant wingman for DeVito’s Frank, who’s decked out in a garish toupee as he awkwardly tries to woo younger women. Frank launches into some hilarious dance moves and starts speak-singing the words "Go for it," the hook of a falsetto-heavy track playing in the background.

Teens invent electricity-free refrigerators that run on a common household item

Sometimes teenagers come up with the best ideas. Three teens from Indore, India have found a way to help their parents who work in the medical field. Using their brains and ingenuity, they have developed a mini-fridge that can keep vaccines and other medicines cold and preserved without the need of an electrical outlet or battery. Their secret? Salt.

Their “Thermavault,” as they call their invention, was so innovative and successful that they won $12,500 from the 2025 Earth Prize. While many teens would understandably spend the prize money on themselves, Dhruv Chaudhary, Mithran Ladhania, and Mridul Jain have decided to spend the money on creating 200 more Thermavaults and distribute them among 120 hospitals for further testing. The hope is that this new invention will help hospitals in rural areas keep vaccines and even organs preserved for transport.

Study finds the person most likely to influence you to quit your job and it’s not your boss

Many employers wonder what helps retain employees at their companies. Sure, there are the obvious factors such as pay and benefits, but there are other reasons why employees choose to stay or to hunt for a new job. One would commonly think it would be their boss, but a study is showing that there is a factor that influences workers more than their supervisors: their colleagues.

An international study published in the Journal of General Management reveals that employees who have developed close relationships with those they have trained tend to follow their lead when it comes to choosing to stay at their job or look for a different one. If they see that folks they’ve trained with are looking for a different job, they’ll likely follow suit, even if they like their boss and are otherwise satisfied with their employer.

Stylish dad's deadpan anti-influencer videos prove North Face jackets are unstoppable

“So I’m just a dad trying to find a style again, so I’ll show you my fits and I'll let you judge them,” says Dr. Deejay, or Dr. Daniel Jordan, in many of his videos on Instagram and TikTok. Jordan began working on creating his personal style nearly three years ago, and continues today.

What’s great about Jordan’s videos is that they’re warmhearted and fun, and he doesn’t take himself too seriously. In his process of finding his style, creating cool outfits, and sharing them online, he has maintained a genuine voice that doesn’t conform to many of the modern standards of content creation. He’s earnest and excited, and whether he’s in cowboy boots or hoodies or both, you root for him on his style journey. Indeed, throughout the process, he has amassed a following not just from some 393K people, but from brands that will send him items to incorporate into his wardrobe, like Buck Mason, Chubbies, G-Shock, Tecovas, and, perhaps most notably as of late, The North Face.

Ever wonder why '90s restaurants had a more fun, playful atmosphere? The answer is complicated.

The big reason why '90s restaurants were loud and fun and now everything is beige

When you think back to the atmosphere of '90s restaurants, you may feel a certain nostalgia for the flashy decor—the loud lamps and checkered tablecloths—at big chains like T.G.I. Friday’s, Chili’s, and Applebee’s. But where did it all go? According to one YouTuber’s fascinating deep dive, this "blessed mess" style has devolved into the "same dull beige," and it’s all been an act of generational rebellion, dating back much further than the boomers and millennials.

Phil Edwards explains it all in a 15-minute video titled "How restaurants lost their personality," launching with a clip from a wacky T.G.I. Friday’s commercial starring a very famous actor. "This is the definition of 'chaotic good,'" he says. "Bryan Cranston is selling you a vision of a life lived on Friday, where the walls are covered with the most random crap you can imagine, botanists are in heaven, and servers are dressed in stripes, like they escaped from the Gangs of New York. How did restaurants get so boring? We went from an insane aunt to a Beige Robot, from pictures, lamps, and brass to a millennial Airbnb with a passion for graphic Design. I mean, seriously, did Dwight Schrute design this? What went wrong?"

​Husband asked why his dog had suddenly become so protective of wife, the internet solved it immediately

Reddit user Girlfriendhatesmefor's three-year-old pitbull, Otis, had recently become overprotective of his wife. So he asked the online community if they knew what might be wrong.

“A week or two ago, my wife got some sort of stomach bug," the Reddit user wrote under the subreddit /r/dogs. “She was really nauseous and ill for about a week. Otis is very in tune with her emotions (we once got in a fight and she was upset, I swear he was staring daggers at me lol), and during this time, didn't even want to leave her to go on walks. We thought it was adorable!"

11 struggles that only left-handed people understand

For the past 42 years, August 13 has been International Left-handers Day. It was first observed by Dean R. Campbell, founder of the Lefthanders International, Inc., to celebrate their uniqueness and highlight the health and educational issues they face.

It's also a day to honor left-handed people who overcame their struggles to achieve great things, including Bill Gates, Marie Curie, Oprah Winfrey, Babe Ruth, Napoleon Bonaparte, Leonardo da Vinci, and Jimi Hendrix as well as the long list of left-handed presidents that have graced the Oval Office since the dawn of the 20th century: James Garfield, Herbert Hoover, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. And, of course, the greatest lefty-rights advocate of our times, Ned Flanders.

Younger workers have a harder time taking time off from work.

Biggest difference between millennials and boomers? One loves taking PTO. The other feels guilty.

Taking time off of work is something that is meant to be enjoyed and looked forward to. It’s meant for people to rest, recover, rejuvenate, and other words that start with “re.” Well, one poll found that millennials tend to feel one other “re” word that boomers don’t: regret. A recent survey by YouGov on behalf of Halfday, the iced tea brand, found that 58% of workers aged 29 to 44 felt some form of guilt for taking paid time off (PTO), while only 40% of workers aged 55 and older did.

The online survey of 3,767 adults showed quite the divide among generations regarding taking time away from the office. Along with the data collected from millennials and baby boomers, 55% of Gen Z said they felt some level of guilt about taking time off for personal wellbeing, followed by 48% of Gen X. It should be noted that the question regarding PTO was aimed at vacations and excluded time away from work to go to doctor’s appointments, jury duty, or sick leave.
