A Little Bit of Awesome: 8/27/2020 Edition

A 14-year-old kid in Tennessee named William Cabaniss has been raising money for charity by bottling and selling his own vanilla extract. He says he loves the stuff, so he’s just following his passion. He came up with the name Vanilla Feeds Tomorrow, and he works with a group called Second Harvest. Every bottle he sells raises enough to buy 42 meals for people who need them. He’s bought over 27,000 meals so far.


Sankavi, an 11-year-old girl from Canada set a Guinness record by solving 30 Rubik’s Cubes while hula-hooping. Here are a few moments from her record-setting day.
The previous record was 25, she crushed it with 30, and she did it in just over 50 minutes.


This guy and his parrot screeching together, just to annoy his wife.
