Whipped-deco clip92rank/position
Fresh and cute! Here are some ideas for whipped cream-style decorated clips.
The fluffy cream looks so real you’ll want to touch it—whipped decorations are irresistibly charming.
When you decorate clips, they become practical and make great gifts, don’t you think? You’ll need clips, whipped cream glue, pearl beads, your favorite charms, and some tools.
In the video, they create a melon-soda-inspired design that’s super cute.
It also sounds fun to come up with your own original pieces by choosing your own colors and designs!
Super hard! The 10-times quiz that’ll definitely trip you up93rank/position
Super tough! The “10-Times Quiz You’ll Definitely Fall For” is a game that cleverly uses everyday assumptions and thought patterns for fun.
By having the other person repeat the same word 10 times, a certain sound pattern gets planted.
Right after they say it 10 times, you immediately ask a question, prompting them to be drawn toward an answer influenced by that sound.
The key to this quiz is not leaving time to think.
Set a quick time limit so they answer right away and enjoy the game.
What should you do when eating ice cream or shaved ice gives you a brain freeze?94rank/position
- Drink a little warm beverage
- cool the forehead
- Stop eating cold things
See the answer
cool the forehead
Everyone has probably experienced that sharp, ice-cream headache while eating ice cream or shaved ice! This happens because the sudden cooling in your mouth increases blood flow and causes blood vessels to dilate, and because nerves in the throat get stimulated. Cooling your forehead can help constrict those dilated vessels, and the added sensation can ease the sharp pain. Try pressing the ice cream or shaved ice container directly against your forehead.
Today is Monday. Tomorrow is Tuesday. What day is the day after tomorrow?95rank/position

When trying to answer this question, wouldn’t most people say, “You’re supposed to answer Wednesday, but the trick is that the answer is Thursday!”? That’s what common sense suggests, right? In fact, if a small child answered that way, I’d be tempted to mark it correct—they’re being clever.
However, the answer is actually neither Wednesday nor Thursday.
The key to finding the answer is to focus on the word “asatte” in the problem statement.
Look closely: while “today” and “tomorrow” are written in kanji, “asatte” is written in hiragana… What does that imply?
Which of the following is a way to stop hiccups?96rank/position
- Press the ear canal
- do a handstand
- bite paper
See the answer
Press the ear canal
You know how sometimes hiccups just won’t stop? You might even get hiccups during class and feel embarrassed. It’s said that putting your fingers into your ears and pressing firmly for several tens of seconds stimulates the nerves deep in the ear and can help stop hiccups.
Speaking of 〇〇, games.97rank/position
It’s the “If you hear ___, what comes to mind?” game that doesn’t end until everyone gives the same answer.
For example, if the question is “What’s the quintessential onigiri filling?” and not everyone gives the same filling, you move on to the next prompt—and so on—so it could theoretically go on forever (lol).
The more people there are, the lower the success rate, so it gets harder.
Can everyone get in sync and name the must-have classic?
ice cream98rank/position
Ice cream made from felt looks adorable and is a great summer craft idea for kids.
Trace the shapes of the cone and ice cream onto construction paper to make templates, then cut the felt to match.
Stuff with cotton to create roundness and shape it into a 3D form.
Attach a magnet to a piece of thick paperboard and glue it to the felt to make a fun piece you can stick on the fridge.
Adding animal eyes and nose parts to the ice cream portion gives it expression and makes it even cuter.
Turning them into bear or rabbit faces sparks children’s creativity, and the finished pieces can be displayed or played with as 3D creations.
By getting creative with colors and patterns of the materials, you can boost originality, making this an idea suitable for all grade levels.
