Stephanie Murphy shares her "average" home in viral TikTok video Lets normalize “average” because there is nothing wrong with it Everywhere you look on social media you see big gorgeous houses in perfect condition and its hard not to compare yours to them But its not the norm and half the time its staged and its filled with love and tons of memories and at the end of the day thats all that matters This article originally appeared two years ago The way Yoda talks could be an excellent tool for parents Longtime TCM host Ben Mankiewicz was the moderator of the event and finally got to ask a question that has been on people's minds for years: Why on earth did that little green Jedi master talk backwards The longer version (that fans actually wanted to know) is that Yoda's way of speaking is almost a Jedi move in itself His speech is a psychological trick that can benefit parents who have children who struggle with listening—especially preteens "Because if you speak regular English or it’s really hard to understand what he’s saying He was basically the philosopher of the movie." He continued “I had to figure out a way to get people to actually listen—especially 12-year-olds.” This is a tactic that some parents have used whether knowingly or not—and there's science behind it parents change their speech to a whisper when reprimanding their children in public settings to get their attention and correct unwanted behavior Turns out this technique may also be beneficial inside the home as well According to The Wichita Eaglein 2008 "Wichita State audiology professor Ray Hull would say the children heard something unusual and irresistible: an adult they can understand Because the trick to get children to listen to really hear and comprehend whether they're toddlers or high school students isn't speaking up the average adult speaks at a rate of almost 170 words per minute But the average 5- to 7- year-old processes speech at a rate of only 120 words per minute The gap between what a child hears and what he or she understands can appear to parents and teachers as inattention the empire strikes back GIF by Star WarsGiphy In 2013, the International Journal of Speech-Language Pathology researched the affects of rate of speech on comprehension abilities of typically developing school-aged children in Sweden researchers were able to show that when children were spoken to in normal the children were much more likely to comprehend the information given at the slow rate of speech Sipping Tea Time GIFGiphy Yoda isn't parenting real human children but the way he speaks captures the attention of audience members young and old But if you don't want to slow down and speak backwards speaking at a lower volume may also do the trick Lucas likely didn't set out to give some solid parenting advice when explaining why he made Yoda speak in such a strange manner but surely there's a parent out there who just may want to give this method a try Her tongue-in-cheek warning reminds us all why you don't mess with the latchkey kids There's something to be said about the now well documented sibling dynamic between Millennials and Gen Z many Millennials grew up with Gen X siblings learning early on not to disturb the sleeping bear Unfortunately, some folks in the younger generation, i.e Gen Z, didn't get this memo. One brave...or naive Gen Zer decided to declare that Gen X is "the worst generation" seemingly unprompted Gen X minds their business grumbling through life unless someone summons them Yoda is not happy about this. media2.giphy.com In a stitched video, millennial Laura High gave a succinct cliff's notes version of why it's best to not speak negative thoughts on Gen X aloud We all love Gen X...we all love Gen X," she said before bringing the camera close enough to whisper you do not seem to understand who Gen X is Gen X is Boomers if they knew how to turn a document into a PDF They get quiet and they get revenge," she warned The millennial then shared the secret kept by her generation: "we do not summon the latchkey kids unless it's our literal only last resort." She advised the unknowing Gen Zer to go to the edge of the woods to leave offerings to appease any Gen Xers that would likely be offended by the video "There is a reason millennials leave Gen X alone My fellow Gen Z’s will learn soon… very soon," one commenter said. "Elder Gen Z raised by two Gen X parents I do NOT back the younger half of Gen Z on this I’m running into the woods on their behalf and leaving Ferris Bueller for my dad and a DQ blizzard for my mom," another echoed "Last thing she will hear from the woods we call Karen Hashtag over," said a third If you've never played Red Rover with Gen Xers just know you were lucky to have your head still attached to your shoulders after the game was over There were no tears allowed and no telling your parents "I will accept ding dongs (in original foil) and a VHS of “the last star fighter” I will also except a mix tape if it include at mix of metal "We will also accept any of the original Star Wars trilogy or Die Hard…though John Hughes films will likely will be the safest choice."

Itaperuna named a street after the Italian dictator. The state prosecutor's office intervened immediately, requiring the name to be changed within 30 days The prosecutor's office of the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro (MPRJ) has launched an investigation into the municipal administration and the city council of Itaperuna which recently named a street in the city after the Italian dictator, founder of the fascist party, Benito Mussolini. The prosecutor also ordered the change of the name of the street within 30 days, believing that "the odious homage offends democratic, republican and human dignity principles". The purpose of the judiciary's action is "to protect the honor and dignity of minorities and to veto public tributes to Nazi, fascist or extremist figures". Mussolini, the prosecutor's document reads "he was a notoriously fascist, he persecuted Jews and other minorities, through genocide, torture and various atrocities". 2000 - 2025 Nova Agency. All rights reserved A Brazilian grandmother is claiming to be the oldest person in the world after supposedly celebrating her 120th birthday. Deolira Gliceria Pedro da Silva, from Itaperuna, marked her birthday on March 10 with a lively celebration featuring samba dancing and a live band - a remarkable feat for a woman who has allegedly lived through two world wars, the rise and fall of empires, and more than a century of history.   The woman's family say they have official documents proving she was born on March 10, 1905, in Portiuncula - making her a staggering 120 years old.  If verified, this would make her the oldest living person in the world, surpassing the current record holder, 116-year-old Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas. Her family are now working with Guinness World Records to get her astonishing claim officially recognised. The organisation have not yet commented on this. Family doctor Juair de Abreu Pereira confirmed that Deolira's birth certificate is already in hand. 'We already have her birth certificate, which is one of the required documents,' he told local media.  'We are waiting for another document to make the official request.' Deolira has outlived five of her eight children.  Her daughter Dona Ivani - who is set to turn 90 later this month - is among her surviving children. Deolira's extraordinary legacy includes 17 grandchildren, along with an ever-growing number of great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Her family believe her incredible journey is far from over and can see her living another decade.  Her granddaughter Doroteia Ferreira da Silva said Deolira's active lifestyle and strong spirit could see her reach even greater heights. 'It's hard to surpass my grandmother, you know?' Doroteia said.  'She was very active at home, taking care of the house and yard, raising pigs and chickens. I think grandma will even reach 130 years old.' Researchers from the Centre for Human Genome Studies and Stem Cells at Sao Paulo University are already studying Deolira's genetics to uncover the secret to her remarkable longevity. Dr Mateus Vidigal, a leading expert in the study, explained: 'The Genome Sao Paulo University has studied Brazilian centenarians in order to analyse and understand the contribution of genetics in longevity and quality of life.' Meanwhile, her doctor Dr Pereira offered some clues to Deolira's extraordinary health: ''She always had a balanced diet, which contributed to good swallowing and digestion. 'In addition, she has quality sleep, essential for cognitive health. 'She does not present comorbidities, such as hypertension or diabetes and she does not use medicines.' If Guinness World Records confirms the claim, Deolira will officially become the oldest living person in the world - a testament to her extraordinary life and enduring strength. According to official Guinness World Record information, the oldest person living is Sister Inah Canabarro Lucas. She was born in Brazil, on June 8, 1908, making her 116 years old, as verified by supercentenarian research organisation LongeviQuest, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, on January 4, 2025.
