THIS everyday kitchen bread slice could be the safest way to pick up tiny glass shards in your home |

Accidents will happen, and broken glass is one of the most frequent household accidents. The big pieces may be easily spotted and vacuumed, but the small, sparkling pieces are much more dangerous. These are usually left in the grout, in the spaces where appliances are located, and in the corners, silently hurting naked feet and paws.

The Simpsons bold predictions 2026: AI replacing jobs, smart homes turning dangerous, and fear of global conflict that feel closer than ever |

The show's previous episodes often come back to the forefront at the most unexpected times in reality. As of 2026, the community has been turning to rewatch past episodes in search of themes that remarkably resemble the issues at hand in the current world.
