Typically, beachgoers are treated to pretty seashells, impressive waves, and neat sand dollars when they are exploring. One thing they surely don’t expect to find is a still intact mansion to wash ashore.
Beachgoers in Costa del Sol, El Salvador, have discovered the mysterious ruins of a villa that washed ashore on the picturesque La Puntilla Beach.
The entire thing looks to be out of some kind of fantasy book.
The abandoned villa, which has clearly seen better days, rests right where the waves meet the sand, with water flowing in and out of the ruins' lower level as the tides shift.
Tourists can climb the still-intact stairs to the building's upper floor for a nice view of the beach.

THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT

You’ve probably heard that “you can’t out-exercise a bad diet.”
While this saying has some merit, you may wonder whether diet or exercise is more important for health goals like weight loss or improved heart health.
With endless health interventions out there, ranging from the 80/20 rule to exercise-free diets, it can be hard to gauge if you should prioritize diet or exercise — or if the answer lies somewhere in between.

Pininfarina unveiled a brand new concept car this week that has some incredibly futuristic features. One of the most popular and awe-inspiring features is the use of a holographic display on the dash. That display will also utilize augmented reality technology.
Perhaps one of the most interesting features is that the concept car doesn’t have traditional doors for entry and exit. Instead, the vehicle’s roof opens up and extends forward to allow entry and exit near the rear of the vehicle.
What other crazy features does this futuristic concept car have? Learn more about the innovative vehicle here and be sure to check out some interesting photos of the car.

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Zillow is a massive database of “more than 110 million US homes for sale, for rent, and those ones that are not even on the market.”
With so many postings, it’s not surprising that people have stumbled over some real gems.
Even less surprising is the sheer number of odd postings. From tacky decor to just flat out bizarre, these listings have a little surprise for everyone.
For example, #9 looks like a nice little home that probably just needs a few updates. That is, until you continue scrolling and see the reason people probably aren’t buying it...

CONTROVERSY

An 18-year-old has been charged with computer crimes after police say he hacked into a database and put a quote from Adolf Hitler into a Connecticut high school yearbook.
The teen was a student at Glastonbury high school, where the quote appeared in May beneath the photo of an unsuspecting classmate, police said.
It read, “It is a quite special secret pleasure how the people around us fail to realize what is really happening to them.” The quote by Hitler was incorrectly attributed in the yearbook to George Floyd, the Black man killed by a Minneapolis police officer last year, which is why it may not have been noticed beforehand.
Police said the same student also was responsible for another unauthorized yearbook entry, which referenced one of the Boston Marathon bombers and drug use.
The quotes were discovered in May after the school began distributing the yearbooks. This was the school’s reaction and the charges that were filed.
