As the name implies, clickbait is a form of false advertisement online. It usually comes as a link to a website with a sensationalist headline, and it has become the laughing stock of the internet.

"You won't believe what this celebrity said." "Ignoring that symptom will cost you your life." You've seen it, you hate it, you get the idea.

Luckily, there's a fun little project that tries to put an end to this dirty practice by showing just how redundant and cringey it actually is — Stop Clickbait opens up these publications and reduces them to a single line. It then shares the phrase together with the original title next to it, and the stark contrast proves that we do, in fact, need to stop clickbait.

    Not sure what's worse, that someone gave their 2 year old a $12000 backpack or the fact a $12000 backpack exists

    The last time the British let the public choose a name, they named a research submarine 'Boaty McBoatface'. They're lucky they didn't end up with 'Monkey McMonkface' this time.

    Or just make sure to drink enough water with your alcohol and stop before you are absolutely wasted. The single "good" part about drinking is the stage where you are a bit tipsy, anyway.

    I don't get why some people are so anti kid-leash. It keeps the kid close while giving them more freedom than holding their hand would, everybody wins.

    In the Cayman Islands, for instance, offshore companies are not taxed on income earned abroad, and there is no taxation of Cayman international business companies. The Cayman Islands has no income tax, no corporate tax, no estate or inheritance tax, and no gift tax or capital gains tax, making it a pure tax haven.

    Cardinal rule, check as many reviews as possible from as many sources as possible before going. Once at the restaurant, ask to use the restroom before being seated. Check the cleanliness of the restroom, the windows and the menus, those three things are frequently left to the last to clean (one parent was part owner of a restaurant).

    What a load of manure. If you have a good butcher who knows how to cut meat and how to properly prep and cook those cuts, one can have a very delicious meal from nearly any cut

    Good gawd people!! Your body and brain work best when there is fat in the diet, especially from natural resources. The sugar companies created a highly successful campaign to take the heat off how bad refined sugar is for humans. They blamed eggs, meat and dairy. Want to reduce fat snd especially bad cholesterol?? Cut out refined sugar, which is hiding in so many commercially produced foods. There is a condition called rabbit starvation diet, it comes from the fact that rabbits are very very lean, especially wild caught rabbits.
