    1. From the London team: This Is How Lesbians Have Sex

    This post finally answers a burning (ha!) question that has mystified society for ages. Per Luke: "Flo is doing more in the way of original illustrations. Her tongue-in-cheek lesbian sex guide was funny, and distinctive, and did 2m views!"

    2. From the Mumbai team: 23 Pictures Only Gujjus Will Understand

    Nirali's deft exploration of the cultural idiosyncrasies of gujjus -- aka people from the great state of Gujrat, India -- is a tour de force of puns. As she says: "SpongeBob is literally a dhokla." Truer words were never spoken.

    3. From the Sydney team: 21 Harsh Truths Every Coffee Snob Needs To Hear

    From freelancer Chris Rodley, this post has had a deep impact on the way coffee snobs are comporting themselves in Melbourne and Sydney. LOL JK! Just scroll down to read the comments, which include gems like "Coffee isn’t only the drink it’s also an experience of the atmosphere as well" and a TON of well-actuallying about the difference between flat whites and lattes.

    4. From the Sao Paolo team: Itaipava coloca robô para responder público e passa vergonha no Twitter (The beer brand Itaipava set up a Twitter bot to respond to a hashtag campaign, and the result was public humiliation)

    I honestly didn't do a great job translating that headline, but you get the point: ill-conceived Twitter ad campaign ends poorly. Many questions here, but for me, the biggest is: What's up with that tattoo? Is she a member of the Illuminati? If so, please tell my family I love them because

    5. From the Berlin team: 23 Gründe, niemals nach Chemnitz zu fahren (23 Reasons You Should Never Visit Chemnitz)

    Thank you, Sebastian, for bravely warning the world about this obviously terrible town.

    6. From the Español team: ¿Puedes adivinar la posición sexual por medio de los emojis? (Can you guess the sex position by the emojis?)

    This quiz is even better if you don't speak Spanish. I don't know what "Con la pierna en el hombro" means, but it sure sounds exciting.

    7. From the Mexico City team: 20 Pasos para llegar al orgasmo (con Thom Yorke) (20 Steps To Reaching Orgasm, feat. Thom Yorke)

    Continuing a theme! Based on Shyamantha's reporting from a few weeks ago, this post from Raquel Miserachi may, at first, seem like parody, but as you read on, it becomes alarmingly clear that Radiohead's entire oeuvre, is, in fact, an elaborate and detailed manual describing a wide range of sexual positions.

    8. From the Paris team: Le festival de Cannes sur Instagram vs. dans la vraie vie (The Cannes Film Festival in Instagram vs. Real Life)

    Cannes! Just the name alone conjures visions of glamour, star-studded glitz, crowded sidewalks, allergies, half-empty discotheques after midnight and sad, empty, soul-sucking rental apartment refrigerators. Wait, what were we talking about again?
