Physical sensations are part of our everyday lives, but not all of them are created equal. Hugging a friend, for example, feels way better than a papercut.

There are a lot of great sensations, though. One of my favorites is the feeling of the short fur just under my cat's chin, which she loves to have scratched. Her fur is super soft, and it brings me joy to scratch her chin because she so obviously loves the interaction too.


In search of more of these great sensations, Reddit user Zahfier asked:

Trump Lashes Out At Jeanine Pirro After His Own DOJ Blames Shoddy Renovation For Reflecting Pool Damage

President Donald Trump lashed out at D.C. Attorney General Jeanine Pirro after the Justice Department dropped vandalism charges against Olympian David Hearn and instead blamed faulty renovation of the D.C. Reflecting Pool for its recent damage, saying he disagrees "100 percent" with her.

The renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas Just Had a Reunion With Two Of His 'Home Improvement' Costars—And Fans Are So Here For It

From Friends to Supernatural to Harry Potter and more, if there's one thing that dedicated fans want, it's cast reunions and reunion episodes, if not whole spin-off shows, and the fans of Home Improvement are no different.

Despite Tim Allen's (dad Tim Taylor on the show) repeated public appearances in which he declared that "everyone was on board" with the idea of a Home Improvement reunion, if not a full-blown reboot that focuses on the kids all grown up, not everyone's destined for a life of Christmas trilogies and toy-centric childhood films that never stop creating sequels.
