Kristen Bell’s Sloth Meltdown (by TheEllenShow)
This is a little random, but I just got lost in a sloth internet wormhole and re-discoverd this video. Its adorable.
Interesting choice. And needless to say, a woman.

Gallium
A silvery metal with atomic number 31. It’s used in semiconductors and LEDs, but the cool thing about it is its melting point, which is only about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. If you hold a solid gallium crystal in your hand, your body heat will cause it to slowly melt into a silvery metallic puddle. Pour it into a dish, and it turns back into a solid.
While you probably shouldn’t lick your fingers after playing with it, gallium isn’t toxic and won’t make you crazy like mercury does.
This is how my life feels right now.
