The lady doing this picture-perfect 30-second plank is a grandmother who recently turned a full 100 years old. Clearly, planking has something to do with her longevity.

For those old enough to remember, the PlayStation 2 was pretty big news back in 2001. If you’re wondering just how big it was, just look at this kid who just received one for his birthday.

Distracted boyfriend.

Goths are known for hanging out with other goths, but this rule doesn’t always hold true. Honestly, it’s freakin’ adorable how birds mate for life and form deep relationships.

Still fits!

This 93-year-old grandmother and her grandson (and the doggo!) created this awesome photo op inspired by Up. Good thing it takes a lot of balloons to actually lift a house.
So cozy.

This cool dog’s story went like so: «About a year ago my friend was in California for work, for six months. Jokingly he asked me to drive his dog from Detroit to San Diego because he missed his dog.

I don’t think the cat really minds the rain. I also don’t think the umbrella is going to do much. But it’s downright heartwarming that this kid has made such a kind gesture.
