In 1983, Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer, showed up in work boots to compete in Australia’s toughest ultramarathon alongside elite athletes. Unaware that competitors were meant to sleep during the race, he kept running continuously. Against all expectations, he won by a margin of 10 hours. In 1983, Cliff Young, a 61-year-old potato farmer, arrived at the start of the Westfield Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon looking entirely out of place. The race, stretching nearly 600 miles across Australia, was typically reserved for elite endurance athletes with specialized training, equipment, and support teams. Cliff turned up in loose overalls and rubber work boots, and most observers assumed he would not even make it through the first day. Yet Cliff had spent much of his life herding sheep on his family farm, often covering long distances on foot for hours at a time. His running style was nothing like the others—short, shuffling, and unorthodox—but it was steady and relentless. Crucially, he was unaware of the standard race strategy, where competitors ran in long shifts and then slept for several hours. Cliff simply kept moving. While the favorites stopped to rest, he continued through the night. As the days passed, it became clear he was not just surviving the race—he was leading it. Spectators began lining the route to watch the slow, determined figure pass mile after mile. After 5 days, 15 hours, and 4 minutes, Cliff Young crossed the finish line in first place, finishing about 10 hours ahead of his nearest competitor and shattering the previous record by nearly two days. When he learned there was prize money, he reportedly gave it away to the other runners, saying they had all worked just as hard. His distinctive running style later became known as the “Young Shuffle.” Initially mocked, it was eventually studied by ultramarathon athletes for its efficient, energy-conserving motion over extreme distances.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone brought the foreskin of Donald Trump's penis from South Park to Jimmy Kimmel Live. Parker: "We did a deepfake of the president, and it kind of got famous.... "This was actually it -- this is how we did Donald Trump's weener. For the show, we put it on like this. And there's his little guy." Kimmel: "If he doesn't burn down the Smithsonian, I hope that winds up there one day."

Japan just turned thin air into fuel. No oil rigs. No drilling. No pipelines stretching across oceans. Just water, CO₂, and a process that flips combustion on its head. ENEOS Corporation, Japan's biggest oil refiner, pulled it off at their Yokohama lab. They built a demo plant that sucks carbon dioxide straight from the atmosphere, splits hydrogen out of water using renewable energy, then fuses them through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis into liquid hydrocarbons. The result? Real, usable synthetic petroleum. The kicker: this fuel is "drop-in ready." That means it works in the cars you already drive, the planes already in the sky, the pipelines already in the ground. Zero modifications. They didn't just brew it in a beaker either. They ran actual vehicles on it. It works. Think about what that unlocks. Countries with no oil reserves could manufacture their own fuel using nothing but sunlight, wind, and the air around them. The geopolitical chessboard would flip overnight. Sectors that electrification can't easily touch, like aviation and heavy shipping, suddenly have a clean fuel path. There's a catch, though. The process is hungry. The same electricity it takes to brew one liter of synthetic fuel could push an EV about 200 km down the road. ENEOS quietly shelved the project in 2025 because the economics didn't math out yet. But the science? Proven. The blueprint exists. Someone, somewhere, will crack the cost problem. And the day they do, the oil map of the planet gets redrawn. Source: ENEOS Corporation / TheTownHall(.)News

@DMQuinnell this is pretty funny if you haven’t seen it 😆

The older I get, the more I understand people who move to the countryside, grow their own vegetables, get a dog, and only talk to about three people. That life gets more appealing every year

WHAT IS THE PHASE OF LIFE CALLED, WHEN YOU DON’T WANT TO LEAVE THE HOUSE? AND YOU DON’T WANT ANYONE COMING OVER TO THE HOUSE ??

I just discovered I've had $10 coming out of my account every month since January to a zoo I've never been to & it's because I was drunk at New Year's, went online & sponsored a wombat called Trevor. The worst part is that he hasn't even written to me yet...

Has sport really got that desperately important that player safety is so ill considered they nearly lose limbs? Ffs wake up! #NRL Brisbane Broncos reveal timeline of Deine Mariner's leg injury that led to urgent surgery - ABC News abc.net.au/news/2026-05-0…

This isn’t real but the fact that everyone thinks it might be is really saying something about the times we live in.

This game is madness. So the guy that was offside was obstructed… okay then 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ #NRLRoostersBroncos

@fesshole I also have just learned this! … about my big toe 😱

I was well into my 40s, having raised three kids, before I realised that the first little piggy that went to market, wasn't going shopping.

The Secret of My Laughter - A student asks His Holiness the Dalai Lama the secret behind his famous childlike laughter. His answer is disarmingly simple: a relaxed mind, no ego, and the understanding that we are all the same human beings. He explains how seeing yourself as "something special" creates stress and anxiety, while honesty, humility, and transparency are the true foundations of inner peace. Video originally recorded on May 31, 2014.

@Kangaroo_Court @elonmusk I’d love to see the response you get. If any at all. You’ve been very in and out on my feed too which I thought was odd.

Hey Elon Musk @elonmusk, why have you slowed my account? Grok says you have as attached: #auspol
