TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Blind skateboard sets world record, paving the way for others

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Blind skateboard sets world record, paving the way for others

This is an incredibly inspiring story. A blind skateboarder from Michigan named Daniel Mancina recently broke a world record for longest “50-50 grind” on a skateboard. He slide 20 feet, 5 inches on his board down the rail.

Now you might be wondering how does he safely skateboard when he cannot see? Good question, he actually uses a cane before he sets out to conquer whatever area he’s skating on. That way he can plan out where the obstacles are and figure out which way he’s going to go. Take from someone who skateboarded all through high school it’s already hard enough when you CAN SEE, I can’t even imagine doing it blind. So major congrats to Daniel for figuring this out.

And now he’s even helping other blind skaters by building adaptive skate parks for visually impaired kids who want to take up skateboarding. He’s going ot host workshops, lessons, and hope to get skateboarding into the 2028 Paralympics.

Amazing

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do bats hang upside down?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do bats hang upside down?

It’s that time of year where you start seeing spooky decorations everywhere including bats! Very popular Halloween item. But why do bats hang upside down?

One popular theory on the internet is that since bats do not have legs they would never be able to produce enough energy to get off the ground and fly like a bird would. So hanging upside down gives them an advantage to just drop down and start flapping their wings to fly. No ground needed!

Very smart, those bats.

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Bakery Worker helps mom avoid birthday disaster for 3-year-old

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Bakery Worker helps mom avoid birthday disaster for 3-year-old

Residents of Florida are still recovering from Hurricane Ian and one of the hardest hit areas, Fort Meyers, has been struggling to get back to normal. One thing people forget about is all the small businesses that have been affected. Whether it’s their storefronts being flooded out or just not able to get shipments for the last few weeks.

One example is this story of a mom in Fort Meyers who was looking to buy a birthday cake for her 3-year-old daughter’s birthday. All the grocery stores and bakeries were out of cakes. Luckily she came across one bakery worker who went out of her way to find a simple cake they had in one of their freezers and a leftover tiara. She scrapped together a cake for the little girl who ended up loving it.

Here’s the photo of all of them with the cake. So cute!

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do passports only come in certain colors?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do passports only come in certain colors?

I always thought it might be cool to have a colorful looking passport. Maybe a neon green… or Pink would be popular. But there is a reason why there are only 4 colors they come in. Dark shades of Red, Green, and Blue. The reason being that these darker colors look more official and if they get dirty over the years from all the traveling it’s not a noticeable.
