Avocados stay fresh for weeks if you place them in one household item
A TikToker known as Creative_explained has gone viral after sharing a simple hack to keep avocados fresh for up to three weeks, and all you need is a container and water Avocados have soared in popularity, thanks to their health benefits, scrumptious taste, and versatility in the kitchen. Whether you're smashing them onto toast, blending them into a smoothie, or tossing them into your salad, there's no denying these fruits are a culinary delight. Not only do they taste great, but avocados are also packed with healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. However, any avocado fan will be all too familiar with the struggle of keeping them fresh. Indeed, it seems as though avocados age in the blink of an eye. The window between an unripe avocado - when it's too hard and bright green - and an overripe one - excessively soft and mushy, with a dark brown or black interior - often feels fleeting. They can seem like a high-maintenance fruit, appearing to go off just after you've bought them. However, the ripening process and shelf life of an avocado can vary, reports the Express. At room temperature, unripe avocados can take four to seven days to ripen, while ripe ones can last a few days. Luckily, there are ways to extend the life of your avocado and prevent food waste. A TikToker known as Creative_explained has recently shared a video showcasing clever grocery hacks for saving money and reducing waste. Among the various ingenious methods to preserve different groceries, they demonstrated how to keep avocados fresh for up to three weeks. The technique is straightforward; all you need is a container and some water. "Fill an airtight container with water and add [the avocados] in," Creative_explained explained. In his latest viral clip, the TikToker displayed his nifty avocado preservation trick by submerging them in water within an airtight box and then tucking them away in the refrigerator.

17 Women Who Need To Get Outtttt Of Their Relationships — Like, Now
Because the internet has everything, there's a subgroup on Reddit called r/AmIOverreacting where people post about something they're currently dealing with and ask the community if they're — you guessed it — overreacting. Naturally, a LOT of the submissions are about relationship problems. And a good number of those are from women in relationships who are definitely not overreacting (but are probably being gaslit into thinking they are). Read on, and you'll see what I'm talking about. woman found texts on her boyfriend's phone where he lamented having a girlfriend. "I (29F) found this text in my BF's (29M) messages with his coworker. I'm feeling a little gutted from it. I don't want to overreact, but I also don't want to gaslight myself and under-react. I haven't once felt this way about him in our relationship, so I'm feeling really taken off guard here. How do I go about this?" —LedBubblez 27-year-old woman's 41-year-old boyfriend shamed her for her "lack of motivation" even though she's getting up at 4 a.m. every day to go to the gym. "I'm a girl who weighs 121 pounds. I'm going to the gym every day with my BF, I'm getting up for him at 4 a.m. in order to work out together. He says I'm not pushing myself at the gym. And he said he wants me to be skinny. Here is the conversation between us. Plus we have just started to live together a month ago. I'm crying and having a hard time understanding him. Am I overreacting?" —Longjumping-Neat-879 [Editor's note: By the way, not that BMI is even close to a good indicator of health, but since she's 121 lbs, she would have to be only 4'10" to be even just barely in the "overweight" category.] person's fiance spent $600 on one character in Genshin Impact (a mobile game) using a shared credit card that they kept for emergencies. There's some impressive weaponized therapy-speak here! "My fiance spent $600 on a gacha game without asking. I flipped out and now his entire family are calling me abusive and encouraging him to call off the engagement. For context, I work 55 hours a week and he drives uber during the day while I'm at work. We are paycheck to paycheck. UPDATE: Engagement is off." —Creative_Guard2809 woman's boyfriend came at her with an out-of-pocket text, despite her being the only one who cooks and cleans. "For context my (F20) boyfriend (M21) and I live together and work full time as well as split rent 50/50. I cook all the meals and clean the house even after my graveyard shifts; all he does is work, come home to play games, and occasionally invite friends over. We've been together for over five years, and he's been acting this way for the last three months. When I tell him how it's making me feel, he tells me I'm wrong and overreacting. So basically, I'm asking AIO??" —OKspace5501 woman ended up in the hospital due to sepsis from pneumonia, and her boyfriend didn't stay with her because it was the holidays. That's one thing, but his texts are another: "A few weeks ago, my boyfriend (20) got very sick, and I ended up at his house for a week to try to avoid bringing it home to my family. I took care of him the best I could with it being finals week at college. While he was gone taking an exam, I deep cleaned his room for him and literally scrubbed his vomit off of nearly every surface in his bathroom, even though I am terrified of vomit. I stayed with him until he was mostly better. Flash forward to December 23rd - 26th. I (20 F) was hospitalized due to acute hypoxic respiratory failure caused by pneumonia. I was septic on arrival, and they told me I was very lucky that I did not end up in the ICU. I was on constant oxygen and a bunch of medicine to try to fight it off. Of course I wanted him there, but I knew the timing was the worst possible because of the holidays. He told me he would come see me one of the days after he was finished with family stuff but then kept making noncommittal statements such as 'I need to pack for my trip' (he's going on a cruise in January). Along with this, he wouldn't reply for up to 12 hours to messages or phone calls, knowing I was in the hospital. He called me one time on his own and it was after I begged him to. He quickly became irritated that I wanted/needed him and I can't help but feel betrayed. The outcome of this could have been a lot worse and it feels like he doesn't care and wasn't worried about losing me. He hasn't been checking up on me and my recovery either and stated that I need to 'let go of what he said or move tf on.'" —Aggressive-living949 woman's long-term partner and co-parent sent her this article, which I won't link here because the misogyny is RAMPANT, but rest assured it's the most written-by-a-man-pretending-to-be-a-woman thing you've ever read and largely centers on giving frequent blowjobs. "We've been together for over 10 years and have two toddlers. However we are not married. We've been talking about marriage and rings recently, but now I'm questioning marrying someone who would send me a lame-ass article like this." —Pleasant-Cattle-7311 person realized that the "friend group chat" they were invited to by their boyfriend was, in fact, just their boyfriend pretending to be two other people. "Am I overreacting after I found out my boyfriend's online 'friend group' I became part of two years ago has been JUST him the whole time? I guess I should've been less oblivious, but since a little before we started dating in 2022, I was added to my boyfriend's (just a friend at the time) three-person Instagram group chat with what he explained were some of his closest online friends. The two other accounts seemed like real people because they had real followers and comments on their posts, and drastically different aesthetics/looks to eventually made a Discord server for us and that alone was convincing enough since multiple times we'd all be active at the same time. We never voice chatted, but I used to never voice chat either, so I didn't think twice. The group got closer, though, and last month, we got together and planned a research TRIP TO HAWAII for August (we live on the East Coast of the US). Like we booked everything!So imagine my surprise when I'm over at his house tonight, and his computer is open, and I just want to log into my Google Docs when I accidentally stumble across, first of all, follower bot sites, and also him logged in and chatting with me as one of the individuals I thought I had become close with, and just got this sinking feeling. I didn't jump to the idea that they could be fake either; I was like, maybe he just has their logins since they're all so close and is way too interested in their messages, but then I noticed their only chats were the group chats and the server, and the real kicker was the email address it was signed up under was his backup email with his full name. I quite literally snooped until he got out of the shower and caught me, which I'm not saying was right of me but I couldn't help myself. During my snooping I gradually became devastatingly confident that he wasn't behind just one but both accounts.I've never seen his face so red and he just absolutely panicked and started shouting at me to get out of his business. I couldn't even form the right words to say to him, in the end I just walked out of his apartment very early in the morning, I get that, but this screenshot is what he has to say and I'm starting to feel crazy. Am I overreacting about my discovery?" —Mindless_Tennis_4045 woman's new boyfriend doesn't want to hang out with her trans friend, because apparently he doesn't trust himself not to say something "out of line." "I (34f) started talking to and hanging out with this guy (31m) about 5 weeks ago. Today we had a conversation about him coming with me to my friend's house, who is trans FTM. Please read the screenshots and tell me, AIO?" —CandyKingdoms this woman's new boyfriend is just super into Trump. He said he wouldn't talk politics, but broke that promise pretty quickly. Regardless, girl, get out. "I've been seeing this guy for about a month and a half. Things were great the first month, but the last week I've felt like we're growing further and further apart (yes already 🙄), he's been really inconsiderate/disrespectful, and most recently I feel like he's trying to push me away with this text. When we first started talking, he asked what I thought about Trump. I told him I don't like him, he said he did like him, but that if it bothers me then he won't ever bring him up. Well this morning (after the last week being on edge anyway) he just randomly brought up how amazing Trump is? And wouldn't let it go. I feel like he's trying to start a fight. He says he 'forgot.' AIO?" —keepmyheadabovewater woman's partner took a photo of her on the toilet, but TBH I'm more focused on how she says he gets angry if she locks the bathroom door. "Last night, my (29F) partner (39M) walked into our bedroom, where I was in the bathroom completely naked, sitting on the toilet, ready to get in the shower. I don't lock the door because he gets angry. I told him to get out, and he picked up his phone and pointed it at me like he was taking a picture, which I assumed was a joke until he turned his phone around and there was the picture of me, butt ass naked, on the toilet. He said something along the lines of, 'Blackmail, I'm sending this to your boss.' I got angry and he deleted it but I didn't care, the damage was done. I shoved him out of the room and locked the door. Went and finished my shower and went downstairs to take my meds, ignored him talking to me, and went back upstairs to go to bed. These were the texts that followed. The relationship has been rocky for a while but I think this was the last straw and I am currently looking at apartments and planning a way out. He doesn't think any of this was a big deal. Am I overreacting?" —Repulsive_Dark_4273 person was left at the airport alone after their boyfriend got through security before them and got on the plane right before they shut the because he wanted to save $30 on their Lyft. "Me and my BF were in Seattle for Thunderdome and we're from ATL. He wanted to save money on the ride to the airport and booked us a Lyft to a random hotel so we could catch their shuttle instead of having to take a direct ride to the airport, which saved him $30. We get to the airport, and we're cutting it REALLY close. I'm in a separate security line, and he clears it about 3-4 minutes before me. He stated that he was going to go the the gate and try to make sure we both made it on. I got to the gate four minutes later, and the door was closed, and he was nowhere to be found. I checked my texts and from a minute prior he sent me the message 'run.' I had already been running but missed the flight by one minute. The flight left at 4:05 p.m. and the next one out wasn't until 11:05 p.m. Based on my personality, I wouldn't have gotten on the plane unless I was sure he'd be on there with me. Now I'm stuck in Seattle for 6+ hours by myself. It feels like he was being selfish but maybe I'm looking at it the wrong way. He called while the plane was pulling off to give his side of the story and said the gate agent told him I would be able to make it if I got there in the next two minutes, but he didn't even stay to make sure I made it on the flight. My feelings are hurt and I'm genuinely questioning if I want to stay with him after this." —Exotic_Platypus_4926 woman had to get an abortion alone because her boyfriend was too tired after an overnight the real kicker here is the "LMAO." "Just to give some background, my boyfriend did work a 12-hour overnight (6 p.m. – 6 a.m.) and then was supposed to drive me to my appointment at 9:30 a.m. He went to bed for a nap and did seem really tired, said I would wake him up 15 minutes before we had to leave. So eventually, it's time to wake him, takes a bit more effort than usual to rouse him, but he does get out of bed. Took two steps out of the bedroom and hit me with the 'I think I'm too tired to drive you.' Usually I'm a problem solver, but this morning I really didn't want to argue with him or anything, so I just said OK, grabbed my things and started leaving. On my way out, he said sorry and asked if I wanted him to call his mom to drive me. I said no, clearly crying at this point. He said he loves me. I quietly said it back. Thankfully I have wonderful parents who both left work early to support me. And this was the text exchange when he had woken up and I had finished my procedure. I really don't think I'm overreacting, none of my family does either. If anything, I seem to be the only one that kinda wants to forgive him." —ReallyAwfulSkiier Canadian woman wants to boycott any trips to the US, what with all the "51st state" threats and trade war tariffs from Trump. But her American boyfriend is giving her crap about it because his friends have upcoming weddings. "I (31F) and my bf (31M) are a Canadian and American couple living in the UK. I'm back home in Canada right now visiting family, and obviously things are quite tense with Trump threatening to destroy our economy and try to wear us down into submission. I called my boyfriend yesterday to let him know that I will be boycotting any trips to America over the next four years, or at least until the tariffs/jokes (I know they're not jokes) about Canada becoming the 51st state stop. I added that I hope his parents don't think I'm being rude if I don't go home with him next time (his mom has a green card from China, so getting travel visas for her isn't always easy), but he has an uncle in Canada, and I'd be happy to visit them there — or even go along to China with them next year when she plans her visit (FWIW I lived in China for a year and his parents don't vote Republican). He responded by asking if I'd really miss his friends' upcoming weddings with him (they haven't announced where it'd be yet). And when I said yes, he said, 'Well, that is certainly a take,' and that we don't need to discuss it anymore. I could tell he thinks I'm overreacting and I pointed out how many Canadians are cancelling their trips to the US, but he argued that's because their partners aren't American. I kind of feel like he's doing the classic American thing of playing down what his country is doing to affect others. If I miss weddings, I will feel bad, but I don't think Americans not seeing the gravity of this is surprising, given how insulated they often are from the effects of their country's policies on others. I don't want to create unnecessary tension, but I also don't think I should have to set aside my principles just because it's inconvenient. I know this might seem extreme, but to me, it's a matter of standing up for my country and not supporting a government that's actively trying to harm it." —deleted user woman's boyfriend ditched her to go snowboarding with his friends (rude) but then texted her a copy-pasted apology that was clearly written by AI (extremely rude). "So he was supposed to come over Saturday night but said he was too tired and would come over Sunday morning. Sunday afternoon rolls by, I text him [to see] where he is, and he says he's out snowboarding with his friends. I proceeded to get a little upset that he ditched me and didn't even tell me, and then he sent me this; it's edited, but I can see the edits that he copied and pasted. I haven't spoken to him yet because well we stopped talking for the night. I was rereading our messages, and then I noticed this one was edited so I clicked on it and noticed this was the beginning of it. WTF? He obviously copied and pasted something. I'm mad and offended. But I never use AI, so IDK if I'm just overreacting or if I do have a leg to stand on here…?" —itssofiababyxo woman suspects that her boyfriend put a hidden camera in her room(?!?!?!) because he's jealous. "So I have DnD (Dungeons & Dragons) Thursday nights, and my boyfriend spent the night at his so I could have my space to fully get into character and everything. Anyway as soon as I hop into a call with one of my players to talk about the session plan and what I need him to do, my boyfriend messages me that. I'm a little suspicious because I'm like, how'd he know? This is weird? So I start checking my room for stuff. Then I say goodbye to my player to watch YouTube before the session, and he calls me right as I'm saying bye. Then he starts to interrogate me and ask leading questions like 'Were you just writing?' 'Did you call anyone?' 'Who'd you call?' Now I know he has jealousy issues, and he has accused me before of flirting or trying to get guys' attention when I'm just chatting with people (sometimes even girls because I'm bi). I hang up on him because my session's about to start and I don't want to get into a full-blown argument defending myself, but I quickly search my room before the session because I felt off. I suspected the block but wasn't sure till I searched it up and found one looking the exact same and come to find this camera in this one. I send it to him saying this wasn't cool and to not talk to me or come to my apartment or I will call the police. He calls me, acting confused like he didn't know what it was and said he'd gotten it from his mum because she's married to a state trooper so he said he gets those, and when he asked for ports she just gave him a few. But then I found it was potentially hooked to my wifi." —Jazzy-Dragon-13 woman's boyfriend said the most out-of-pocket thing in front of all his friends. "My BF (25M) and I (22F) were invited to a birthday party of his friend. The people at this event were all close friends of his from his contract job and I barely know these people. Everything was going fine and my BF was clearly having a great time. But at some point, I was telling a story from my school days when my BF interrupted and said, 'You know, [my name] is prettiest when she shuts up.' Everyone laughed, and my bf just kept going, saying, 'You guys don't know what I go through. She never stops talking. ISTG, sometimes I tune her out for my own sanity,' or something along those lines. I'm usually really introverted, but when I warm up to someone, I'm the type to talk a lot. So when he said these words, I felt SO embarrassed and humiliated, especially since he said it so casually in front of people I didn't even know. I tried to brush it off but I got quiet after that. Later, after the party was over, I told him how hurtful his comment was. He rolled his eyes and said I was being too sensitive and that it was just a joke and I was making a big deal out of nothing. He said I embarrassed him by acting cold for the rest of the night and that I should learn to take a joke. He also told me if I couldn't learn to lighten up, maybe I shouldn't come to events with his friends anymore, even though he was the one who asked me to come in the first place. I feel so awful and confused. Am I in the wrong for getting upset and killing the vibe?" —Aggressive-Cost2007 finally, this woman probably doesn't need to leave her she sure as heck shouldn't sleep in his bed until he replaces these pillows. "Ok, I (28f) went over to my boyfriend's (25m) house for the first time (been dating about a month), and I had somehow never noticed his pillow situation before. When I noticed, I made a comment about how long he's had the pillows. Apparently, he's been using them since he was a kid. So, I asked him if he had any other pillows, and he said he just had the pillow on the left of the first picture but that his cat usually sleeps on it. I said I don't really want to sleep on those pillows, and I'd prefer to sleep at my own place (with clean pillows). His response? He waited for a minute and then said he would be sad to see that I would choose something as small as pillows come between us spending the night together, but that if I needed to go, he understood. I ended up going home and spending the night at my own house instead. I asked if I could bring my own pillows and gently suggested he get rid of his. He said it was totally fine for me to bring a pillow, but that he wouldn't get rid of his, as they are 'sentimental.' Thoughts? I feel like I can't even kiss him or anything while we're sleeping because I don't want him to get his gross pillowness all over me and my clean pillows. 😂" —plantsandpoison
