All talent show lineups should include Darth Vader's theme song. Twitter user
Erin Gibson blessed the feeds with a video of her cousin's son hijacking the mic to sing "The Imperial March," Darth Vader's theme from Star Wars. The rendition gets him a lot of laughs, even though his co-performers aren't having it. At one point, he hilariously swats the girl to his right, who happens to be his older sister, away mid-song. Sometimes when I need to laugh, I think about the time my cousin’s son took over a group rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to sing the Imperial March

Did you get home from your MDW beach trip and realize that you missed all the best online sales for the holiday? Talk about FOMO. You’re in luck, though, because a lot of sales for Memorial Day are
still going on for the rest of this week (anyone in the market for a
mattress?). Some of our favorite deals, however, are big savings on
laptops and
tablets. Get some work done, stream a movie, play some games — you can do it all on one of these babies
without having to smash open your piggy bank. Some of the best stuff we found for this week includes huge discounts on
MacBooks,
Amazon Fire tablets, and even
$80.99 off an iPad. Say goodbye to that FOMO, pronto.

In several cities in India, gamers have been arrested simply for playing
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (aka
PUBG) on their phones.An astonishing
BuzzFeed News report published Monday night took a deep dive into the extreme popularity of
Battlegrounds in India, as well as government efforts to contain it. At the center of the story are four boys who were arrested for playing the game in a public space after it was banned in the city of Ahmedabad.Authorities cited the game as a powerful distraction from academics as a reason for the ban. Some
even attributed a handful of deaths to the game. Additionally, some parents have accused the game of encouraging violent or aggressive tendencies in their children, per BuzzFeed's report.

What is the purpose of a roommate, if not to eat the rest of your OREOs when you're not looking?Technically, roommates aid in taking some of the financial burden that comes with renting a living space. But at what cost? If they're going to make life a living hell by trashing the space or sending paragraph-long texts about the air conditioning, is it really worth it? We'll leave that for you (or your rent) to decide. These 13 tales of roommate drama are harrowing. Proceed at your own risk! 1
Furry alarm clock "Had a room mate who bred ferrets. They back into corners to shit and the musk smell can get pretty over powering. Not a knock on ferrets but they have to be cared for and let out under controlled conditions when there are more than six. I was sleeping, one night, when I was half awakened by a tickling on my leg. Brushed what ever it was away and pulled my hand from under the blankets with a small female ferret, its teeth firmly planted onto the little piece of ski…

Anyone who is glued to a
laptop day in and day out can attest to the fact that these mini computers can sometimes cause extreme discomfort. There's even a newly coined term for the list of health issues brought about by prolonged laptop use: laptop-itis.From carpal tunnel syndrome to neck strain and back pain, hunching over your laptop for hours on end can be detrimental to your physical well-being. But it's not like you can quit using your laptop altogether. For digital nomads and freelancers especially, a laptop is needed to, you know, survive.You can always buy a run-of-the-mill stand to avoid the so-called laptop-itis, but you'll be hard pressed to find one that you can bring with you when you're on the move.

In the tech industry, big data is the new coding.The amount of data circulating today is growing at an exponential rate, resulting in what some would call an information deluge. Even industries outside tech like retail, medicine, banking, and transportation are increasingly experiencing the big data boom.It makes sense, then, that the demand for data science specialists is also swiftly increasing. Companies big and small are constantly on the hunt for data scientists who are adept at interpreting and managing massive amounts of data. These businesses are also often willing to pay top dollar to these experts — an annual salary of $107,000 being the industry average.

Now that the long holiday weekend is over — which was hopefully filled with plenty of sunshine,
BBQs, and beach trips — it’s time to unwind from all the craziness and settle back into the work week (we feel your pain). In our mind, the perfect way to blow off some steam during the week after a
vacation is to set yourself up with some great
entertainment to watch when you get home from the 9-to-5 grind. SEE ALSO:

When you only have so much real estate on your counter, compact kitchen appliances are a must. That can be problematic when you're in the market for a new
espresso machine, as many popular models easily take up a square foot of space or more.Of course, space-saving alternatives to traditional espresso and coffee machines *do* exist. For example, you can forego the kitchen counter entirely if you whip up a quick coffee enema in the bathroom à la Gwyneth Paltrow. (That was a joke
Please don't do that.) We happen to be partial to the
Nespresso Essenza Mini, the smallest single-serve espresso machine ever made by the premium coffee company, and a pretty adorable one at that. If you buy it in the funky lime finish, you can save $51 through Amazon right now.

risked injuries as they raced down a steep hill to capture cheese on Sunday. The winner of the women's race, Flo Early, announced her retirement from cheese-chasing after spraining her ankle.Watch as they tumble for glory and for cheese.The official competition was
canceled in 2010 because of threats made by spectators. But a rogue version survived.SEE ALSO:
The cursed 'vegan lasagna' is simply not a lasagna Nowadays, contestants don't even chase after real blocks of cheese. Rather, they're fighting to capture a
lightweight foam cheese. The winner is eventually afforded a real cheese for their hard work.

Super Mario Maker 2 is so much fun.I only played about an hour of
Super Mario Maker 2 for the Nintendo Switch at a preview event, jumping between the course creator, story mode, and course world, and every time I had to switch between modes I was bummed out that I didn't have more time to mess around in the previous one.That's a fantastic sign. I never played
Super Mario Maker for the Wii U or 3DS because I didn't think I would be into the tedium of laying down platforms, item boxes, and enemies, and I felt like I absorbed enough of the custom levels by watching other people play them online. Boy was I wrong.

Memorial Day weekend marked the unofficial start of beach-read season, which means a new lightweight tablet should be at the top of your "to-buy" list. These ultra-portable gadgets make it possible to take your entire e-book library with you, but don't take up too much room in your tote bag, so you still have room in there for a crisp canned rosé (or three). What's not to love?Boasting a vivid display and expandable storage, the
