Bands such as the Beatles, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Metallica, Guns N' Roses and Nirvana especially are the most popular amongst my peers.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/thunderfart_99/" target="_blank">thunderfart_99</a></p>Woah.
<p>Astronomer here! There is a star about 200 light years away from us called the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_140283" target="_blank">Methuselah star</a> which appears to be about as old as the universe itself. Specifically, the universe is thought to be about 13.8 billion years old, and the star is, based on its composition estimated to be 14.46+/- 0.8 billion years old. So presumably if you err on the side of that minus, it's younger than the age of the universe, but still, the fact that it's been shining for a good 13+ billion years is astounding!</p><p>For reference, our sun has been burning for about 4.5 billion years, and has about 5 billion more to go... so this star has already lasted longer than our sun ever will.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Andromeda321/" target="_blank">Andromeda321</a></p>Kristen Bell Just Asked Her Kids To Guess How Old She's Turning—And Their Answers Are Hilariously Brutal

It is considered impolite to ask a woman's age.
But chivalry didn't apply when Kristen Bell was the one who did the asking.
The Good Place actress just turned 39 and indulged in a guessing game with her two young daughters, Lincoln, 6, and Delta, 4, whom she shares with her husband, actor Dax Shepard.
She asked for it.
When we think about people or certain groups of people I truly believe that everyday, EVERYDAY one of our main private thoughts in all of our inner dialogues has got to be... "Why in the world are these people allowed to breed?!" And this new generation of selfie obsessed, Kardashian addicted youngins just gives me the shivers. You have to get a license to just about anything, to fish even... why not be tested for approval for child rearing?! I want to that initiative on the ballot box.
Redditor u/EvisGamer posed an important question to us all... How would you feel about a law that requires anyone under the age of 25 to pass a specialized test in order to have children?
