The Weird Origin Story Behind Nickelodeon’s Famous Green Slime, Explained

Image
Today, Nickelodeon is synonymous with neon green slime. The disgusting, gooey substance has become part of their brand identity. Generations of children all dreamed that one day they’d have the opportunity to be slimed. But just how did this idea come to be? Well, according to Nickelodeon legend, it largely happened by mistake. This Forgotten Nickelodeon show is responsible for slime In 1979, Nickelodeon premiered a kid-friendly version of Saturday Night Live! The show, You Can’t Do That On Television, featured a sketch where a young boy had a bucket of slop dumped over his head. According to the legend, due to long filming days (those child labor laws), the slop transformed into a green, gooey substance resembling slime. From there, Nickelodeon realized they’d struck gold, and kids received a $50 bonus for each sliming. The recipe changed over time, too. On Double Dare , it was reportedly a mixture of vanilla pudding, oatmeal, applesauce, and green food coloring. However...

Daily Horoscope: June 11, 2026

Image
There’s a low-grade restlessness in the air today that most people will feel before they can name it. The Moon is moving through a tense stretch of the sky, squaring some of the heavier hitters along the way, and emotions have a way of showing up uninvited on days like this, and expecting to be dealt with. Something about what you need versus what you’ve been willing to say out loud is getting harder to ignore, stargazer. The Sun squaring Eris is giving everyone a sharper edge than usual — that’s not a warning, just good to know going in. Let what’s true have some air today. It’s been waiting long enough. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 Not knowing what you want is its own special torture, and Mars stuck in Taurus hasn’t helped much.

Resident Evil Requiem DLC Reportedly Releasing After Code Veronica Remake

Image
A new leak claims that Resident Evil Requiem DLC won’t be released until after the Resident Evil Veronica remake. If true, that means the RE9 story expansion won’t be out until 2027. But is this latest rumor true? Resident Evil Requiem DLC Release Date Reportedly Pushed to 2027 Screenshot: Capcom Although Capcom has already released the Leon Must Die Forever mini-game in May , there have still been no updates about the Resident Evil Requiem DLC. However, a new leak now claims that the RE9 story expansion could be further out than many players might have initially expected. According to Capcom leaker Dusk Golem, the Resident Evil Requiem DLC isn’t releasing until after Resident Evil Veronica in 2027 . If accurate, it would mean the story expansion potentially releasing a year and a half after RE9 originally launched. This would be quite the long wait! Dusk Golem made the claim in a recent post on X. Screenshot: X @AestheticGamer1 “Word in the grapevine is ...

Daily Horoscope: June 10, 2026

Image
Wednesday has some tension in it. Mercury squaring Saturn puts a wall between thoughts and words for most of the day, so don’t be surprised if conversations feel harder than usual or if something comes out wrong on the first try. The Moon conjuncts Saturn in Aries, too, stargazer, which adds a heaviness that’s less about drama and more about accountability — something that’s been sitting on the back burner is ready to be dealt with. The saving grace is that Venus is still holding its conjunction with Jupiter, which means underneath all that pressure, there’s true warmth available. Today asks the people willing to feel something instead of manage it. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 When things get too still, you start poking at them, and you know exactly what I’m talking about. Not because anything is actually wrong — just because calm has nev...

Venus and Jupiter Will Almost Touch in the Sky Tonight. Here’s How to See It.

Tonight, June 9, Venus and Jupiter will appear just 1.6 degrees apart in the western sky during twilight, about three times the width of a full moon, and close enough to fit inside a standard pair of binoculars. The nights on either side will look nearly identical, so don’t stress if clouds roll in. To put that distance in perspective: hold up a single index finger at arm’s length. That’s the gap. Both planets will be visible to the naked eye, no gear required. Your best window is roughly 45 minutes to two hours after sunset, and you’ll want a clear view of the western horizon, according to Live Science . Here’s the part that’ll mess with your head a little: the whole thing is an optical illusion. Venus and Jupiter aren’t actually anywhere near each other. Venus sits about 1.2 astronomical units from Earth right now; Jupiter is about six. One AU equals the distance between Earth and the sun, which means Jupiter is five times farther aw...

An Unusually Clever Bear Is Currently Winning a Battle Against Humans in Japan

If you haven’t heard, Japan has been dealing with a massive bear problem . Bears, pushed out of shrinking habitats and food chains disrupted by climate change, are now roaming city streets and breaking into buildings looking for a meal. To fight back, robotic wolves have been deployed as oversized anti-bear scarecrows that are selling fast in rural towns. Not every community can get one. And sometimes, the bears slip through. In one instance, the ones that slip through are highly intelligent. As reported by The Guardian , police and hunters in Fukushima are searching for what Mayor Yuki Baba called an “extremely intelligent” bear after it injured four people and escaped from an electronics factory by apparently unlatching and opening a locked window. The Bear’s Talents Don’t End at Unlatching Windows The one-meter-long bear was first caught on CCTV chasing and mauling a worker in a company parking lot. A bystander scared it off with a car, but the beast ran int...

What’s Your Spirit Animal? Here’s What Your Birth Month Reveals.

Astrology gets most of the attention when it comes to mapping personality to the cosmos, but animal spirit guides have been doing the same work across cultures for centuries. From Native American traditions to Celtic mythology to Eastern spiritual practices, animals have long served as symbols of human strengths, instincts, and life lessons—guides that appear in dreams, in nature, and in the stories we tell about ourselves. The idea that your birth month connects you to a specific animal isn’t far removed from the logic of astrology. Each month carries the energy of the zodiac signs it contains, and certain animals reflect those qualities more closely than others. According to astrologer Sarah Potter, writing for Parade , here’s the spirit animal associated with your birth month—and what it says about you. January: Snow Leopard Patient, strategic, and unbothered by what the pack is doing. January’s animal walks its own path and doesn’t need your...
