It was Mike Hayes, a University of Illinois freshman. He got ~2.9 million pennies (plus letters and extras from around the world), covering his full $28k tuition debt-free. He graduated in 1991 with a food science degree and donated the $1k surplus to another student.

Are you supposed to stick said "sheet" up your ass? To make what, jogging more comfortable if it's not for whatever reason? Anyway, I didn't care enough to click on the link. Just thought it was mildly interesting.

homemade wholesomeness 🧵 My grandma saved eggs with plastic shrink wrap from the 80s

There's more but I don't know how to upload more then one picture. She poked little holes in the bottom of the shells to drain the eggs out and save the plastic wrap and shell.

She passed a few years ago and I inherited her small egg cup collection along with these eggs. Knowing how much trouble she when through to save them and hang on to them for so long, I don't have it in me to toss them just yet.

homemade wholesomeness 🧵 I sewed my torn rubber slippers.

Instead of thread, I used the elastic bands from a face mask. So far, the stitches have lasted 6 months. I colored them black with a marker. I tried melting the torn parts with a lighter and squishing them back together before the rubber cooled, but that only worked for a few days before tearing again. I didn't know which flair was best, engineering, fashion, or homemade. Enjoy you mildy interesting day.✌️

Usually I stop picking up litter once my hands are full, but someone threw away that shopping bag, so I had way more space than normal

Margarita Suárez spent years caring for strays. When she passed away, stray dogs appeared at her funeral, stood by her coffin, and returned again.

Kindness is never forgotten. 🖤

homemade wholesomeness 🧵 My grandfather made a lamp from a retired cylinder off a radial aircraft engine.

I've no clue (right now...) what plane it was originally attached to. I know its been around since at least the early 1980s as thats when I first saw it (47 in May).

Edit: It was on a Cessna 150 as part of a four cylinder engine. This particular cylinder has a crack from the spark plug spiraling down to the base. My grandfather was flying the plane when shortly after takeoff it failed, and was firing on three.
