The (Real) Story Of Thanksgiving

That awkward moment when you realize there's people in your home state that really start to salivate when they see a dead frog.

Hello Vinglers! Within the past few months, Vingle has undergone quite a few changes in how our communities run, including the addition of features like Talk and Q&A! We know many of our older members have been waiting a long time for one particular update, and we’re happy to announce it is here! Our new community government system is finally ready, with a lot of exciting changes. Be sure to update your app to experience it all! We’d like to introduce to you, the role of President! Presidents’ roles and responsibilities will be much greater than our previous Moderators, and they will have a much larger Staff to collaborate with! The Roles and Rights of Presidents: - Presidents have access to the Citizen Desk, a system that facilitates content management to check if there is spam/ads, improperly sexual or violent content or irrelevant content among cards that are submitted to your Community. For help, check out the Content Guideline!) - In the future Presidents will have the ability to create Labels, which can organize content into specific groups. For an example, check out the Labels in Japanese Anime. - Presidents will make sure the community remains a safe place for all members, by keeping an eye out for disagreements or problems between members. - In the future Presidents will have the ability to enlist the help of other members for roles such as Editor in Chief, Whiz, Host, and more! We will fully explain these roles when they are introduced :) - The first President of a community will be known as a Pioneer to mark their achievement! As an example, you can check out VingleEnglish who is the president of the Kpop community and Funny Community. Don't worry, official Vingle accounts will retire from their post to make room for Vinglers, it's just an example :) If you would like to run for President of a Vingle community, please fill out this form Further positions that will support the president and the community will be introduced, so please look forward to having lots of opportunities to participate! For the Vinglers who kept up the responsibilities of Moderators all this time, your hard work has not gone unnoticed! You’re the reason why Vingle communities are such a positive place that continues to grow. We’re excited to see how our communities thrive with the new system, and we’re so happy you’ll be a part of it!

Looking for a tasty new cookie this Christmas? Cooking Classy's got you covered. Check out these scrumptious Twix-inspired shortbread cookies, filled with gooey caramel and drizzled with chocolate. With a sprinkle of sea salt, too, if you're into that. These look absolutely to die for! Can I eat... all of those? Please? If looking at these photos made you as hungry as they made me, head on over to Cooking Classy for the recipe. Your family and friends will be mighty happy you did.

Do you know how your country is stereotyped? I've heard that traveling internationally is always interesting because it forces you to see how the rest of the world (or, more accurately, specific countries) tend to view you. What do you think of when you see the countries on these charts? Are they accurate? Personally, I would've preferred my Australians to be bouncing around in a kangaroo's pouch, but hey, beggars can't be choosy.

Back in my day, it was more or less impossible to mess around with your school photo and have the administration go along with it. However, Oregon high school senior June Dela Chica was able to convince the school photographer to have a little fun with her picture - to epic results! She recreated the hilarious face of Mulan's matchmaker! Yeah, she rolled up to Picture Day looking like THIS. At first, the photographer was a bit hesitant - even a little grumpy, but June was prepared to lay down a convincing argument: "I remember her saying, 'I don't know if you can take this photo. Are the admins okay?' I replied with 'The admins said if I'm okay with showing my face like this to hundreds of people then go on ahead. And if it's really THAT bad I can always retake it.' She shrugged and replied with a simple okay.” If you could choose to rock ANY look on Photo Day, what would you pick? Mine would be zombie make-up. No second-guessing.

One thing we all want for the holiday's besides happiness and amazing gifts would have to be amazing hair. With all the holiday parties around the corner and family gatherings taking place, looking great is a must -- especially when it comes to your hair. Braids will always reign supreme, even when it comes to those special occasions. To give yourself options this holiday and make sure your looks as good as you do, keep scrolling to see holiday hairstyles featuring braids on both medium and long hair. Which braided style happens to be your favorite?

Am I the only one who can't help but let out a big WTF?! at everything that's been going on so far this year? We're overdue for some good news. Tell me something positive, Vingle.

This is so magical that I might even do the same thing. Only a few hours left to make your resolutions, guys. What are you hoping you'll achieve next year?

I love learning the different perspectives of the United States people from outside of the country have. Michael Bay and world domination. U-S-A! U-S-A! What do people usually assume about where YOU'RE from? (It could the reputation of your city, your state, or your entire country!)

My father's favorite chocolate was always Turtles. Every Christmas, every birthday, even Easter Sunday, and every Valentine's Day, we all knew exactly which candy we were going to surprise him with. As my sister became more and more invested in her vegan diet, however, she eventually upgraded her Turtle gift into this truly decadent vegan Turtle cheesecake, topped with pecans, caramel sauce, and hot fudge. Check the ingredients labels, and you should be able to find some vegan hot fudge at the grocery store. Caramel sauce might be a little trickier. However, don't worry. I've made sure to include a homemade recipe for both, so you can make them both from scratch, if needed! -------------------------------------------------------- Vegan Turtle Cheesecake 2 (8-ounce) packages vegan cream cheese (I recommend Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese's original flavor.) 2 cups vegan sour cream 3/4 cup sugar 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds 1 vegan chocolate cookie pie crust (Keebler's Chocolate Ready Crust is surprisingly vegan!) 1/4 cup toasted pecans 2 eggs worth of Ener-G Egg Replacer (or any other binding vegan egg replacer of choice) 1 batch of hot fudge topping (see below) 1 batch of caramel topping (see below) 1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. In your largest mixing bowl, blend the vegan cream cheese, vegan sour cream, and sugar using an electric handheld mixer until smooth. 2. Add the vanilla, flour, and flaxseeds and mix for about a minute. It’s important to make sure there aren’t any lumps. Pour your creamy filling into the chocolate crust. 3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick to make sure it’s solid. Pull the cheesecake out of the oven when it is solid to the touch and passes the toothpick test or when the top starts to crack a little and begins pulling from the sides. 4. Cool on a wire rack for around an hour and then top with pecans and sauce (see recipe for sauces below). Refrigerate overnight and then enjoy this wonderful treat! For the Hot Fudge Topping: 1 cup Silk vanilla coffee creamer (or any other non-dairy vanilla coffee creamer) 1/2 a bag of vegan chocolate chips (I use Ghirardelli, but there are lots of others.) 1/2 cup of sugar 1 tablespoon Earth Balance vegetable spread 1 teaspoon vanilla 1. In a sauce pan, heat the creamer, chocolate, and sugar at medium heat until it starts to boil. Remove from heat and whisk in Earth Balance and vanilla until the mix is smooth and creamy. 2. Let the sauce cool for 30 minutes. (If you have time, put it in the fridge. It will get firm just like fudge!) For the Caramel Topping: 1 cup of light corn syrup 1 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup Earth Balance 1 cup Silk vanilla coffee creamer 1. In a saucepan, heat the corn syrup, brown sugar, and Earth Balance to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 5 minutes and continue to stir. Combine in creamer, then remove from heat and let cool.

Wanna Be Soapy so Badly lmaoo CTTO.
