Video: Golden Retriever ‘Asks' for Permission to Swim but Doesn't Wait for It to Be Granted
TikTok video shows Golden Retriever running away to swim before his owner could reach him
Golden Retriever Whaler is an obedient boy, but he still plays by his own rules. His owner took to the TikTok account @whaler.and.flapjack to share how the dog asked for her permission to go swimming but ultimately took it upon himself to make the decision. He waited for his mom to permit him, but even before she could agree, he ran straight towards the water.
The video began with the owner documenting her and Whaler's interaction at what appears to be a lakeside. She stood on one side of the fence while Whaler looked intently at her from the other side that faced the water. The pet parent clarified that her Golden Retriever was staring at her in hopes of receiving permission to go swimming. However, the owner confessed that the dog would opt to dive into the water irrespective of what decision she makes.
As Whaler kept his eyes focused on his mom, she took it as an opportunity to inform him that he wouldn't go swimming. She advised him to join her on this side of the fence and not sprint the other way around. But it looks like the Golden Retriever already had his eyes set on his ultimate goal, which is to jump into the clear water. Just as the owner rushed to bring him with her, the dog took a sharp turn and leapt towards the lake.
No matter how much the owner expressed her disapproval, she failed to catch hold of Whaler, who ran faster than the speed of light. Meanwhile, netizens declared the Golden Retriever's victory. One user noted, 'They always wait til you get a little closer to take off running.' Another person hilariously commented from the dog's perspective, stating, 'Bye mom.'

Budget-friendly spin on classic summer treat goes viral: ‘Road trip luxury'
A budget-friendly recipe is going viral for channeling an Italian delicacy with just two ingredients that can be found at most roadside rest stops: coffee and an ice-cream sandwich. 'It's July and you know what that means: It's gas station affogato season,' New York-based travel expert and television host Samantha Brown recently posted on social media. Advertisement An affogato, which means 'drowned' in English, is typically served with fresh espresso poured over vanilla ice cream. But Brown, host of the PBS show 'Places to Love,' was forced to improvise while on a recent road trip stateside. 'You're seeing everyone in Italy, Positano, the Amalfi Coast, but you're at a Gulf station off the [Massachusetts Turnpike],' she said. To make the experience 'fancy,' she grabbed a cup of black coffee and an ice-cream sandwich from the gas station. With her ingredients resting on top of an air pump, Brown dunks the frozen treat into the cup and takes a big bite. Advertisement 'Delicious,' the mom of two exclaims.

Viral "Poop Rule" Might Help ADHDers Declutter
Decluttering your space can feel like a Herculean task that you'd much rather put off than tackle. But one simple and comically named rule of thumb may help you make some headway. It's called the 'poop rule.' When trying to decide if you should keep or get rid of an item, ask yourself this question: If the object had poop on it, would I wash it off or throw it away? This 'rule' went viral after ADHD content creator Becka Karle, known as @adhdorganized on TikTok, posted a video on the social media platform about it in July. The video racked up 175,000 views on TikTok before making the rounds on other social media sites. Karle told HuffPost she first heard about the poop rule from a therapist she was seeing to help manage her attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms. At the time, Karle was downsizing her home, having a hard time going through and purging items she had accumulated over the years. Difficulty staying organized is a common challenge among people with ADHD (more on that below). Her therapist told her to pick up each item in her hands and actually picture poop on it. 'Like an old toiletry or something would be gross, right? So my therapist was like, 'Would you wash poop off that?' And I was like, 'Absolutely not. It would be all in the cracks, you know?'' Karle said. 'And she was like, 'Exactly. Now, what about a shirt that you wear to work a lot?' And I'm like, 'Honestly, I probably would wash it.'' Karle said the poop rule worked for her because she's 'a very visual and literal person' and it kept her 'accountable.' In the comments of Karle's viral video, one TikTok user compared the poop rule to Marie Kondo 's own tidying technique but with a twist, writing, ' Kondo's 'Does this spark joy?' made more visceral? Love it.' And in a viral post viewed more than 5 million times, Cooper Ownbey, an archival researcher and scriptwriter, wrote on X, formerly called Twitter, that Kondo's method never worked for her but that 'an adhd tiktoker just changed my entire life by introducing 'the poop rule.'' the marie kondo 'does this spark joy?' method of decluttering never worked for me, but an adhd tiktoker just changed my entire life by introducing 'the poop rule: if this object had poop on it, would you wash it off, or throw it away?' — Cooper💫 (@cooperownbey) August 23, 2024 @cooperownbey / Via People with ADHD may struggle with organization and maintaining their home due to something called executive dysfunction, which is a core symptom of the condition. 'Many folks with ADHD have challenges consistently using our executive function skills — the brain-based skills that help us translate complex task-oriented thoughts into goal-directed actions that help us 'execute' a behavior,' Carvin said. Executive function skills help you do things like remember to complete certain tasks and the steps necessary to get them done, to keep track of information and items needed to do tasks, to plan and prioritize while also responding to changes in demands, and to manage your attention, time and emotions while executing a task without losing interest or motivation, Carvin explained. If you have a hard time with executive dysfunction, organizing and tidying your home can be hard to do 'especially without getting distracted, tired or bored,' Carvin said. Carvin said she would recommend the poop rule as a decluttering tip 'for the right client with the right sense of humor' because it 'helps to simplify the complex decision-making process around decluttering that ADHDers might struggle with because of executive dysfunction.' 'The strategy addresses the decision to keep an item or not in a clever, concrete and clear way that could work well for the right client,' she added. You don't need to have ADHD to benefit from the poop rule. If you find it useful, you can employ it to help make those tricky decisions about which items are important enough to hold onto and which ones you'd be better off donating or getting rid of during your next decluttering effort.

Sydney Sweeney ‘good genes' ad courts controversy
An ad campaign from American Eagle featuring actress Sydney Sweeney has sparked backlash over what users on social media have deemed racist undertones — or overtones, some say. Much of the criticism has swirled around the campaign's title: 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,' a play on 'good genes.' 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,' she says in one video. 'My jeans are blue.' As part of the campaign, American Eagle is launching a pair of jeans produced in collaboration with Sweeney to raise awareness for domestic violence. The proceeds from each pair's sale, the company says, will go towards a volunteer crisis intervention text line. Many online commentators, however, honed in on how the blond-haired, blue-eyed actress was repping a prominent American brand in such fashion at a time when the Trump administration has attacked diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and moved to aggressively deport immigrants. Sayantani DasGupta, a lecturer at Columbia University, said in a TikTok video that the campaign was 'really imbued with eugenic messaging' and compared its tagline to remarks President Trump made in 2020 about how Minnesotans had 'good genes.' 'It is both a testament to this political moment, and it's contributing to and reinforcing this kind of anti-immigrant, anti-people of color, pro-eugenic political moment,' she said of the campaign, adding that she planned to teach it in one of her courses in Columbia's narrative medicine program in the fall. DasGupta's video has garnered more than three million views. In another video, the reference to genes is overt: Sweeney, clad in denim, is shown painting over a mural of herself with the words 'Sydney Sweeney has great genes.' Despite the backlash, American Eagle stocks have jumped, up 20 percent over the past five days. Many observers have deemed it a meme stock. The campaign also bears similarities to a 1980s campaign by actress Brooke Shields for Calvin Klein, which also relied on plays between genes and jeans.
