In the brutal heat of Arizona’s desert, bobcats have learned an unlikely trick for survival, they sleep on cactus. The tall saguaros and spiny chollas give them what the ground can’t: safety, shade, and a clear view of their surroundings. Perched above the reach of coyotes and snakes, the cactus acts like a natural watchtower, keeping them cool and protected in a landscape that offers little comfort. It’s a strange sight, but it makes perfect sense. In the desert, every advantage counts, even if it comes with a few needles.

I am 34 years old and have had excruciating acid reflux since I was about 8 years old. I have been taking prescription strength medication every day for 25 years to control it and still have had terrible symptoms that sometimes keep me up at night. I’ve even had an endoscopy under general anesthesia to try to discover the cause. Recently I noticed that my symptoms tend to start after I take my evening allergy and asthma medication. Incidentally I have been taking these pills since I was about 8 years old. I’ve always been able to easily dry swallow pills without water. I can take a whole handful of pills dry with no problem, so that’s how I’ve always taken my medication. So I googled it and sure enough dry swallowing pills can lead to pills getting stuck in your esophagus and cause acid reflux. I started taking water with my pills and sure enough my acid reflux symptoms disappeared immediately. It’s been a few months now and I haven’t had a single episode of reflux when I used to have it several times a week. TLDR I gave myself acid reflux nearly every day for 25 years by dry swallowing pills

Not really sure what’s happening and I’m a little confused, I had to triple check but this is from the actual White House page, I wonder if anything happens from this… and also like why? haha not complaining if this is what kicks off MOASS but really was not expecting this on a random Sunday night

Don’t forget NY early voting runs from October 25 to November 2. Election Day: Tuesday, November 4.

I also think something is wrong with its eye. I have no idea what i should do and I don’t have time for a cat I’m pretty busy with Law school and work but I couldn’t leave it in there to be alone.

I lent my grandmother’s heirloom ring to my cousin for a family wedding photoshoot. She forgot to return it and later shared a TikTok with the ring on and a caption about “selling old jewelry for rent money.” I asked for it back and she refused, saying “you didn’t need it.” I drove two hours, grabbed it from her dresser while she was at work. She’s furious and says I stole from her. I felt disrespected and wanted my family item safe. AITA?

Found a flash drive full of photos from my high school senior trip to China. This gave me the giggles. EDIT: TIL this hat is called a trilby

The blame was passed around a bunch but they were removed the next day after the mayor and the news got involved.

She’s always striking the cutest poses.

Throw away and tweaking the story a tiny bit for sake of the kids. Title says it all. My sister and her husband died. I was the godfather and never really imagined or thought about it beyond essentially a single quick conversation 6 years ago. My wife and I have been FIRED for almost a decade. We are far from wealthy, do very little, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Well. Now a 6 and 3 year old are in our life. I could probably get by not working but my wife insists I go back to work to provide more economic security in our situation. Currently little over $1.5M investments, a paid off house but we need to either extend or upgrade to accommodate an additional room, and we are both 47 years old. I’ll be honest, going back to the office scares me. Reporting and emailing makes me nervous and I doubt I can assimilate. I am thinking something stable like teaching and get 3 months off or join my buddies HVAC business. I figure we already live on about $40k a year so if I can make $50k or so we can get by while my savings builds up. If my math is right I can put in 15 years and retire again all while having some economics stability for the kids. Anyone have experience retiring and going back to work? How was it and any tips?

Yes I'm a known ber but it's become comical at this point. 🥲

Mixed it up for the last one and used COB LEDs and red packing tape to make it a look a little more “lore accurate”. My own hands are about the size of these things right now from all the taping and squeezing I’ve been doing Glad that we all got to do this together and I had a reason to make a silly craft

My dad turned 50 last week. His wife was on my (M17) case to write a nice card and pick out a present for him. So I gave him the list I wrote to keep track of all the times he made me miss extra curricular activities so her kids wouldn't miss theirs. That was my present for him. I didn't even get a card or write in one. That was my gift to him. I knew it was going to piss him and his wife off but I kept track of that stuff and it has always bothered me because he became such a lazy dad to me when he started dating his wife. They asked me what the hell kind of milestone present that is and I told them it was the gift of having his eyes opened to the way he prioritized her kids over me. She told me it was so incredibly arrogant to keep a list like that and obsess over the times he did something to show her kids he cared. I told her he could have figured out a way to do nice things for both of us but as soon as they met he cared more about her and proving himself to her than he did about being a good dad. BG is as follows: My mom isn't around. Don't know why. My dad never gave me an answer about what happened to her. I only remember him though and he met his wife when I was 7. They dated for years without living together but started all the way back then he would get me kicked out of activities for no showing because he said he'd take his wife's kids to theirs and for some reason he couldn't get all three of us to our activities. Dad had me in football from 5 to 7. I got kicked off the team after 6 no shows without explanation. Each of those times was because he dropped her kids off at theirs and he said he didn't have time to drop me off at mine. Then he had me in karate. I went for a month and then he didn't take me for two months. They told him I couldn't go back if I wasn't going to be there every week because there was no way for me to learn. He signed me up for another football team and the same thing happened. He didn't take me to one of the games and several practices so I got kicked. I asked for art classes and he said sure, that'll keep you busy and out of my hair. I lasted four months in those classes before several no shows meant they told dad I couldn't come back because I was missing important lessons. He signed me up for basketball, same thing happened. I only went once though. Swimming was the same and the last time I did get to go he didn't pick me up on time. I got into dance classes when I was 14 and thought this can work. I'll walk. But then he'd pick me up and say he'd drop me but then he wouldn't. And I didn't get to connect with anyone to get a ride off their parents because I wasn't in dance long enough. Instead of being at something for me, I had to sit in the car or watch his wife's kids do their stuff. The kid he dropped off last is the one he stayed to watch or parked outside the activity of. And they had loads of activities. My dad and his wife only moved in together when I was 14 so he was doing all this for kids he didn't live with and fucking me over in the process. Then he refused to pay for anything because he decided to take over paying for his wife's kids. I hold it against him. And yeah I tried to talk to him in a calm and mature way but he brushed me off. So I resented him more for it. I told his wife when she bitched at me for my attitude and she was like so what. That told me all I needed to know. But the birthday thing. I gave him the list and they made a big deal out of it. But instead of giving me the cold shoulder they decided to bring it up multiple times since and they've bitched so much that I'm tired of hearing it. I told them I didn't care about my dad's birthday or his feelings because he won't confront that he didn't deserve shit from me. AITAH?

my dad, for the better part of almost 10 years now, has been OBSESSED with Donald Trump. He’s obsessed to the point where he’s been going to rallies every time he can, has all the MAGA merch, and even met Trump irl, having a framed photo of them both in his bedroom(along with my grandpa and my dads friends) I have never liked Trump since i found out who he was (like 6th grade when i was 12) and ive been able to look past it for a while because it didn’t necessarily affect my life and i just chalked it up to “well maybe he (Trump) is doing something good enough for my dad to ride for him so hard (no pause)” But now, in october of 2025, i can’t put up with it no more. Every american reading this knows very well Trump is modern day Hitler and it’s been a deplorable year (ICE, big beautiful bill, refusal to release the epstein files, cutting SNAP, appointing racists and pedophiles and racist pedophiles, among many other things. My dad hasn’t changed his mind in the slightest about him and he’s a big fan of all the evil Trump is doing and allowing to happen. I don’t want to associate with people who support open air racism and classism, and yk like everything else Trump has done to my country. I have younger siblings and it makes me feel scared knowing my dad is proud of himself smiling next to a sexual predator (Down below is the picture)

Sorry SNAPs people, Trump and Billionares are busy stealing everyone's money for their own things. https://preview.redd.it/6i9bkx8zkixf1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b2847f238cf5082afe938a19db60d04b70c8a45

I went to bed last night worried because my 20 year old cat is on his way out…I had no idea how bad today really would be. My cat is still here, but I received a phone call telling me that my mom passed away. It was completely unexpected and a shock. She was in her early 70’s and healthy, no diseases or heart issues, still very active, living independently, etc. Apparently she told her boyfriend she was going to lay down for a bit and she never woke up. When they checked on her she was gone. The police called me because I’m the next of kin. She never remarried after divorcing my dad, and I’m her only child. I’m over 600 miles away and I feel completely and utterly clueless what to do. The police said there didn’t appear to be any foul play involved, and that the medical examiner’s office would be doing an autopsy and calling me this week. My aunt (my mom’s sister) lives close to her and is going to help as much as possible. I’ve been going in and out of both crying and disbelief all day. I can’t believe I’ll never hear her voice again. I thought I’d get another 15+ years with her. My mom is the reason I know that voicemails have a 4 minute limit. She would fill the whole message every time, often telling me about grocery prices and every little thing that happened to her that day. I’m worried about all the legal stuff and I’m hoping I don’t screw it up. I’m worried about my kids missing school for several days because we need to leave the state for a funeral. But mostly I’m sad that my mom is gone.

Update thread! 24 years later, mystery solved and thank you reddit for the assist— I found the guy in the photo. In a cruel twist he is returning the favor by putting one of my high school photos on his desk. Fair is fair. Pleased so say both him and the woman are both well although not together, and yes, that was a Lexus LS and it is also most likely still running extremely well. So all 3 stars of this photo are still going strong. He will be in the comments if you want additional context as I don’t want to speak for him. We had a good laugh and he was a great sport about it. So this one came full circle. Original thread below. https://www.reddit.com/r/mildyinteresting/s/iE6EtvZvTS

How many times have you sat on your remote only to have it change to a channel that you dont subscribe to? For every time that has happened to you I created this print.

Joke by me! (Natalie Cuomo)

As SNAP benefits are cut, this should be something we demand of state governors to do with their state’s national guard. Food banks & other forms of community aid will feel the stress caused by these cuts. There will undoubtedly be understaffing and shortages, this is one way we can prepare for this
