'Skibidi' and 'Delulu' Are Officially in the Cambridge Dictionary
Summary TheCambridge Dictionaryhas officially added the slang terms 'skibidi' and 'delulu' to its online edition, reflecting the growing influence of internet culture on the English language. 'Skibidi,' a playful, gibberish word popularized by the viral YouTube seriesSkibidi Toilet, is defined as having multiple meanings – from 'cool' to 'bad' – or sometimes no meaning at all, used simply as a joke. Colin McIntosh, Lexical Programme Manager at Cambridge Dictionary, noted that such additions capture the evolving ways people communicate online and offline. Meanwhile, 'Delulu,' a shortened form of 'delusional,' is defined as believing things that are not real or true, often by choice. The term, widely used on platforms like TikTok and X (formerly Twitter), has been embraced in humorous and self-aware words are among more than 6,000 new entries added this year, alongside other social media–driven slang and culturally relevant terms such as 'tradwife,' 'red flag,' 'mouse jiggler' and 'work wife' to name a few.

Study finds Powys residents are 3 hours from public toilets
A recent study has found that Powys residents on average would have to walk nearly three hours to their nearest public toilets. Research by the bathroom supplies company Showers to you, analysed data from ToiletMap to reveal the regions with the longest distances between public toilets. It found Wales ranked third among UK regions for the longest average travel times between public toilets, averaging at a 11-minute drive between facilities. Powys topped the list with a 17.6-minute drive to the public bathrooms or a nearly three-hour walk, with the average distance being around eight miles. However, the study also found that the county had many more public conveniences than others with 1,179 compared to 867 in Ceredigion. Powys has also had recent investment in public toilets from the Welsh Government which will upgrade multiple facilities across the county. Powys County Council said the challenge came from the size of the county and the sparseness of the population. A spokesperson for Powys County Council said: 'There are publicly accessible toilet facilities available throughout the Powys, with at least one facility in each of the main towns. 'The council has a Public Toilet Strategy, which aims to sustain and improve access to public toilets. However, as the largest and most rural county in Wales, Powys faces unique geographical challenges in providing widespread access to public amenities.'

VOCIC Launches AX12 Electric Toilet Lift Seat Enhancing Bathroom Safety and Independence
Ontario, California--(Newsfile Corp. - February 21, 2025) - In everyday life, something as simple as using the toilet can become a challenge for the elderly, Pregnant women, and individuals recovering from surgery. The VOCIC AX12 Electric Toilet Lift Seat is designed to restore independence and dignity, making bathroom use safer, easier, and more effortless. By providing gentle, motorized lifting support, the AX12 reduces strain on the knees and joints, minimizes fall risks, and offers a secure and comfortable solution for those with limited mobility. Whether for aging individuals, post-operative recovery, or anyone needing extra support, the AX12 empowers users to navigate their daily routines with confidence and ease. VOCIC Launches AX12 Electric Toilet Lift Seat To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: How Does the AX12 Stand Out? When it comes to bathroom mobility aids, there are four main types: toilet seat risers without armrests, risers with armrests, standalone toilet safety frames, and electric toilet lift seats. While each option provides some level of assistance, they often come with trade-offs in stability, convenience, and ease of use. The AX12 Electric Toilet Lift Seat is designed to eliminate these limitations, offering a superior, motorized solution that prioritizes safety, comfort, and independence. Toilet Seat Risers Without Armrests: These simple seat risers increase the height of the toilet but lack additional support, requiring users to rely entirely on their own strength to sit down and stand up. They provide minimal assistance and can be unstable, especially for those with severe mobility issues. Toilet Seat Risers with Armrests: While these risers add armrests for extra support, they still demand significant physical effort from the user. The fixed height may not suit all individuals, and the installation process can be cumbersome. Stability can also be an issue, as some models shift under weight. Standalone Toilet Safety Frames: These frames offer external handrails for gripping, helping users push themselves up. However, they take up more bathroom space and require the user to exert effort when standing. Additionally, their non-integrated design may lead to instability if not properly secured. Electric Toilet Lift Seats (e.g., AX12): Unlike the other options, the AX12 features a motorized lifting mechanism that smoothly raises and lowers users with minimal effort-simply at the press of a button. With secure installation, anti-slip design, and a compact, space-saving structure, the AX12 ensures a safer, more comfortable, and effortless bathroom experience. [ This image cannot be displayed.

This design aims to enhance stability and comfort, making sitting and standing transitions smoother and more secure. Safety Features for Stability and Support: The AX12 is designed with removable armrests, allowing easier side transfers for wheelchair users while providing additional support when locked in place.
