“Look, comrade sweetie — you asked what a calorie deficit was.”
A Soviet-era grocery store meme: grandma shows her granddaughter an empty fish counter and says, “Look, sweetie — you asked what a calorie deficit was.”
The joke is that in Soviet times, “calorie deficit” wasn’t a diet plan — it was just everyday shopping.
Black oily rain has covered the city of Rybinsk in Russia’s Yaroslavl region.
The large billboard says:
“Chelyabinsk Region
We are one of the country’s most promising tourist centers.”
A nurse from the Moscow region won 16 million rubles — about $200,000 — in the lottery thanks to a vision board.
She kept it in a visible spot: on her refrigerator. The board showed her longtime dream — owning a house.
She now plans to spend the winnings on building one.
A woman has apparently turned her apartment building backyard into a pigeon buffet.
First, she orders 40 bags of grain straight to her apartment — no exaggeration. Then she throws the food out the window with a scoop.
But the real nightmare starts after that: every day, seagulls fly in to hunt the pigeons feeding there. They catch them, finish them off, and eat them.
Now the whole courtyard is covered in droppings, feathers, grain, and dead birds.
A whole pirate ship is on sale in Russia for just 1.5 million rubles ($19k).
It is actually a 1,700-square-foot house in Udmurtia, complete with a deck, hold, and masts — basically a place where you can live out your “Blackbeard” fantasy.
Russia is being asked to recognize the incel movement as extremist.
Vitaly Borodin, head of the Federal Project on Security and Anti-Corruption, said he will ask the Prosecutor General’s Office to give the movement a legal assessment.
He claims incel ideology contradicts “traditional values” and should be checked, including for possible foreign funding.
Incels are “involuntary celibates” — mostly men who blame women and society for their lack of romantic or sexual relationships. Some online incel communities have been linked to misogyny and extremist rhetoric.
Vitaly Borodin is a Russian pro-government activist known for filing complaints and demanding checks against artists, bloggers, and public figures. His group, FPBK, stands for the Federal Project on Security and Anti-Corruption.
Jesus Christ has died of alcoholism in Tatarstan.
A Russian man with that legal name died in his apartment. Shortly before his death, a court had ordered him to restore his previous name — Evgeny Petrovich Chekulaev — because he had multiple convictions for robbery and armed robbery, and his new name was deemed offensive to believers.
In the end, he never managed to complete the name change.
18-year-old Adam Kadyrov, the son of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, has been awarded the title of Hero of the Chechen Republic for the second time.
This time, it was for “outstanding services to the state, selfless service to the people, active and fruitful work aimed at comprehensive support for the special military operation, and in connection with Russia Day.”
VR-assisted childbirth has started being used in Russia, according to Baza.
The technology is already being introduced in state maternity hospitals. During contractions, women in labor are given VR glasses showing relaxing landscapes — the sea, forests, sunsets, and mountains — helping shift the brain’s focus away from pain and anxiety.
