TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Out of Work Cleaning Lady Gets Surprised With New Penthouse Apartment
This might be my favorite Tell Me Something Good story of all time.
A cleaning lady in New York City recently lost her job during COVID, and had to move in with her sister after working at the same upscale apartment building for 20 years.
All of her customers who live in the building love her. So they decided to pool their money and move her into the PENTHOUSE on the top floor. They’re also covering her rent for two years, and the big reveal was all caught on video. She thought she was there to clean the place, but then the owner of the building handed her the keys. Her reaction is incredible. Love it.
Loyal cleaning woman who hit hard times during the Pandemic was given an apartment thanks to all the people who lived where she worked. She’s given a 2 year lease. from r/nextfuckinglevel

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why is ice slippery?
With the snow coming down this afternoon I thought this would be a good mystery for today.
Anytime you see ice even though it’s solid frozen water there is always a layer of liquid on the surface which makes it slippery. Even in the coldest temperatures hundreds of degrees below zero, there is still a tiny layer of fluid. That is what cause you to fall if you’re not careful.
