💬 Quoted… “This photo was taken 11 years ago.”

What if our phone’s apps told us what we actually wanted to know? Well, that’s the premise behind designer Soren Iverson’s viral (and fake) “satirical UI” series, which imagines how our favorite apps might look with some… interesting improvements.

  • These include suggested features like Tinder notifying you how long ago a photo was taken, an Uber driver sending you a “bite request” (exactly what it sounds like), LinkedIn providing a “Nepotism Warning,” and iMessage telling you how many times someone has viewed your message.

👪 Stat of the Day: The median sale price of a home in Southern California is around $785,000. Which makes the Los Angeles 450-square foot, one bedroom house that sits atop a bridge currently going for $250,000 an absolute steal.

  • Usually, homeowners would own the land underneath their house. Not so in this case, since the bridge and stream under the house are both public land. But that’s not proving to be much of a deterrent – the real estate agent managing the property said he’s hosting open houses that see between 40 and 50 people per day.

🤯 Did You Know?... There’s nothing better (or more available) for heating a space than the human body itself. If it's -49°F outside, body-heat can keep an igloo nice and toasty at an internal temperature between 19-61°F.
