<h3>Your stank mouth woke up like this.</h3>

You roll over and whisper, "Good morning." She recoils from the gust of rancid breath you've just unleashed across the pillow. Nothing ruins a sleepover like morning breath. And the problem is: Where does it come from? You brushed your teeth last night. You don't have a gastric disease. Why does your breath smell like a tin of mackerel left open on a hot subway?

<h3>Read on for the six things you need to do to stop morning, and the fastest way to fix it:</h3>

Triage the night before.

Sure, you ran a toothbrush around your mouth for two seconds. But any single morsel of food left behind becomes bait for bacteria.

"Bacteria eat food particles left behind," says NYC-based cosmetic dentist Dr. Brian Kantor of Lowenberg, Lituchy &amp; Kantor, "and fuel bad breath by releasing volatile sulfur compounds through anaerobic respiration."

Translation: bacteria eat your leftovers and belch out the rotten-egg stench you wake up to.

So if you've got an important morning ahead, be thorough: floss, brush and use an antiseptic rinse. Leave no crumb behind.

Stop your mouth breathing.

The most critical thing to know about morning breath: saliva is your friend.

"Saliva is high oxygen, which kills bacteria," says Kantor. "It breaks down food particles and debris, and removes them from your mouth when you swallow."

Trouble is, saliva production decreases while you sleep. And if you're breathing through your mouth, you're creating a dry zone where bacteria thrive.

The fix could be as simple as turning onto your side or stomach. Or maybe you need a decongestant. However you fix it, a closed mouth will be less sour the next morning.

If a dry mouth is bad, then mouthwash is your friend. But not the kind that can accidentally set you back.

"Moisten your mouth," says Kantor. "Use a lot of water. And use a non-alcoholic mouthwash the night before because alcohol will dry out your mouth—and that's the last thing you want."

Look for the alcohol-free version of whatever mouthwash you use. And, while we're at it, don't try to cure your morning breath by rinsing with vodka, either.

Besides loving a dry mouth, bacteria enjoy an acidic place to feed and multiply.

"Bacteria are more likely to collect in acidic environments," says Kantor. "So what you can do is gargle with baking soda, because it's a base."

You'll find baking soda in many dental products, and all of them cut the acid and help stamp out the stench.

Brush your tongue.

You're flossing, you're brushing, but you're still waking up smelling like a bull mastiff. Turn your attention to your tongue.

"The tongue has a lot of surfaces where food particles can get lodged," says Kantor," so you want to use a tongue scraper and really keep your tongue clean."

Also, in the morning, taking your toothbrush to your tongue is a fast way to remedy whatever damage the night has done, or at least spread the minty smell of toothpaste around.

Start salivating.

Finally, when you've made it to daylight and you really want to kick that morning breath, hit it with the one-two punch: brushing, then brunch.

Brushing, flossing and rinsing clear out the root causes of your oral odour. Eating something starts your saliva flowing. Think of it like turning on the faucet to rinse out the drain.

"Every time you eat, you increase saliva," says Kantor. "Crunchy fruits and vegetables are the best. They stimulate saliva flow and they mechanically clean teeth and remove surface stains."

Translation: an apple a day might not keep the doctor away, but one in the morning could get you invited back for another sleepover.

You roll over and whisper, "Good morning." She recoils from the gust of rancid breath you've just unleashed across the pillow.

How to beat morning breath

<h1>After he realized he couldnt afford the trip, he panicked</h1>

If you’re dreading a trip with your girlfriend, that’s probably a sign that you should consider ending things. If you’re dreading a trip with your girlfriend while you’re married with a child, that is definitely a sign that you should end things. But that’s not how a travel agent from India handled the situation.

Motaparthi Vamshi Krishna, 32, was arrested by Hyderabad, India, police for emailing a fake hijack threat to avoid a trip to Mumbai and Goa with his girlfriend, CNN reports. Police say he pretended to be a woman who overheard six men planning to hijack planes in Hyderabad, Chennai, and Mumbai. Authorities beefed up security at the respective airports, but they also tracked down the IP address of an Internet cafe and used video footage to narrow it down to Krishna.

Krishna confessed to the crime and said he did it because he couldn’t afford to take his girlfriend on the trip she wanted. He created a fake ticket for the trip and then emailed the faux hijack tip. He’s been hit with four charges, including impersonation and providing false information. If convicted he could face up to five years in prison and a fine of $150.

B. Limba Reddy, a police commissioner who led the investigation, said, “He didn’t have the money, but if he canceled because of that, it would have hurt his pride, and his friendship with the girl would’ve come to an end. So, his thinking was that if the flight was to be canceled and it was because of the airport, he wouldn’t be at fault.”

Now he’s most definitely at fault. And we can’t imagine his pride or the relationship are holding up very well, either.

<h1>"Haunting" is the new "ghosting," apparently</h1>

There is apparently no end in sight to the development of trends in dating and social media. "Ghosting" was hard enough to wrap our heads around as something that actually warranted a name. But "haunting"? No. This has gone too far. But since it's actually a thing, we figured it was worthwhile for you to actually know what it is.

Apparently, "haunting" is when a past lover does something like watch your Snapchat, Facebook, or Instagram story or likes a photo of you on Facebook (or Instagram). Wait, is that a thing? Actually, doesn't matter, because this is stupid. It's basically defined as your ex trying to re-assert themselves into your life via social media in such a way that you receive a notification. And it's upsetting enough people to become a trend.

The Internet, such as this article from Mashable, is calling for it to end because it's tormenting people's hearts by having to see their ex's name pop up on their screen. These notifications are apparently the lit match to a fuse that is an emotional bomb that has exploded. Consider this empirical evidence that people literally have run out of things in their life to complain about.

So, "haunting" is the new "ghosting" and "it needs to stop" because why? What if you just blocked that person from your social media? Unfollowed them? Adjusted your privacy settings? Don't you have that power? Or is that bad social media form, as well? Oh, wait, that's ghosting. Right?

Granted, it's annoying when your ex tries to bring themselves back into your life. But it's also a part of life. Let's grow up a little here.

New way exes are annoying on social media.

<h1>CrossFit legend Jason Khalipa shares how to get the most of your training, career, and life.</h1>

Jason Khalipa is a family man, businessman, and CrossFit athlete living in Los Gatos, CA. For the past 10 years Jason has been blazing a trail both athletically and in the business realm. From his humble beginnings behind the sales desk of a globo-gym, Jason has emerged as one of the leaders in the fitness industry, as well as one of the top athletes in CrossFit world.

While his competitive CrossFit career may be in its twilight, Jason is firing on all cylinders when it comes to his two other passions: his family and his business, NC Fit.

You don't win the CrossFit games or build a thriving international business without a crazy work ethic and a winning mindset. Jason calls it "The AMRAP Mentality" and it's guided him through his entire career, inside and outside the gym.

AMRAP stands for As Many Reps As Possible or As Many Rounds As Possible and it's a staple in CrossFit WODs. But for Jason it's a hell of a lot more than just a workout template—it's the concept of doing the best you can and putting forth maximum effort with everything that you do.

For example, Jason's beautiful daughter Ava has been battling leukemia over the last year. But somehow Jason and his family have turned this tragedy into a positive. "Our family has actually never been closer and it's really taught me about what's truly important in life," says Jason. "And we've raised a lot of money for pediatric cancer to help kids like my daughter fight this disease." That, in essence, is the AMRAP mentality.

Why you should use the ‘AMRAP’ mentality outside the gym

<h1>Take a look at yourself and make a change.</h1>

It might surprise you that one of my favorite songs of all-time is Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror.” I always loved it as a kid but it took on a new meaning for me when I was in high school.

My football coach at University School of Milwaukee, Donald Forti, made it the theme song for my senior season and we listened to it before every practice and game. The message he was trying to get across was that if you want to help your team, then do your job to the absolute best of your ability; to stop pointing fingers at others and take a look at yourself and make a change.

To this day I listen to this song every Monday to keep me motivated for the upcoming week. It’s that consistent reminder to control what you can and block out any outside noise.

From a training standpoint, this message was a game-changer for me. Due to my competitive nature, I used to be too concerned with what others were doing. And because of ego training, I made stupid decisions and got myself hurt repeatedly. When you’re focusing solely on beating others, you rarely make the right decisions for yourself.

But these days I’m laser-focused on beating my former self and I don’t let anything distract me from that objective. I actually look at the Men's Health cover that I was honored to be on this past January and I say, “Today I’m going to kick that guy’s ass.” Nothing else matters. Because I know if keep getting better, I can keep helping you get better.

This “man in the mirror” mentality transcends the gym. I truly believe that what’s holding most of us back from reaching our potential in anything, lies in that space between our own ears. And if you make the commitment to better yourself just a little bit every day for the rest of your life, nothing can stop you.

Here at Men's Health, we believe in every one of you guys. And the content we make is designed to make you a better man today. Keep showing up and make a change.

<h1>The popular dating app isnt just a one-stop shopping place for easy action.</h1>

There is a widely-held belief out there that Tinder is supposed to be the one-stop shopping place to go to get yourself some easy action. Just pull your phone out and start swiping.

However, that might not be the case. Depending on what you’re looking for in your dating apps, that could be taken as good or bad news.

Tinder's on-site sociologist Jessica Carbino (Who knew Tinder had an on-site sociologist?) looked over a mountain of data that was acquired from a pair of surveys Tinder conducted to compare their users with offline daters. The surveys were filled out by over 7,000 Tinder users, and 2,500 offline daters, between the ages of 18-36.

What she concluded was that people swiping right and left were more likely to be trying to find a committed relationship than their offline contemporaries. When it comes down to specifics, she said that people on Tinder were doing a better job of narrowing down potential daters by asking them several questions after they started talking. She also found, somehow, that Tinder users are five percent more likely to tell their partners “I love you,” during their first year of dating.

The survey also pointed out that 30 percent of men who aren’t using an online source say that it’s “challenging to commit.” In comparison, only nine percent of Tinder users said they find it hard to stay in a committed relationship. According to The New York Times, those percentages were similar for women.

Carbino theorizes that’s because online daters are able to see who’s on the market, as opposed to offline daters just visualizing it. “When you are dating online, you actually have a very clear idea of what the marketplace is like,” she said. “You are able to have a visual idea of the pool in front of you, whereas the people who aren’t dating online are simply speculating as to what the pool may be like.”

Like the analysis from nearly every freakin’ study you’ve ever read about, a fellow researcher (in this case, Jennifer Lundquist, a sociologist at UMass) said more studies were needed to determine the accuracy of these surveys. She noted that there’s no longer a stigma around online dating, meaning that the offline dating group could be skewed, and also said that it’s possible Tinder is just trying to rehab their hook-up image—it was Tinder’s surveys after all.

However, for now, it seems like even in an era where technology makes most everything easier, if you want to try and get some you have to put in your own work. Just like your father, and your father’s father, and your father’s father’s father. We’re getting closer, though.

<h1>Play up this factor and she won’t even notice you’re not the most handsome guy in the room.</h1>

In the world of competing to win a right swipe, you might think your photo can make or break your chances.

But even if you’re horribly awkward in front of the camera—or if your mug doesn’t quite measure up to Chris Hemsworth levels—you can still gain her attention. You just need to play up your awesome creativity, a new study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science suggests.

In the study, researchers looked at how creativity might affect a person’s attractiveness. Rather than trolling Tinder, they showed a group of volunteers a library of photos of both men and women, and had them rate each face purely on attractiveness.

With the hot or not scales in place, they then showed the same batch of photos to a second group of volunteers—this time adding a little info to each image that gave clues as to whether the person in the photo might have a cool, creative personality. The volunteers then and rated attractiveness based on their overall impression.

The result? Average-looking dudes become more enticing when women perceived them as more creative. In fact, the effect was so strong that they were rated just as attractive as the most Brad Pitt-esque men in the bunch.

As a kicker, the men perceived as both physically attractive and creative were rated the most alluring of all.

According to the researchers, these findings might have something to do with evolutionary biology.

“Creativity is thought to be a signal that an individual can invest time and effort into a particular task or can see things in novel ways that may be useful for survival,” study author Christopher Watkins, Ph.D., said to MedicalXpress.

Interestingly, the study found that women experienced the opposite effect—average-looking women with a good imagination and creativity were perceived as less attractive than average-looking dull women to men, suggesting that they still rank looks as paramount when assessing the attractiveness of females.

The bottom line? Next time you’re writing a profile for a new dating app or trying to pick up the attractive woman in your weekend soccer league, don’t fret if you’re not the best looking guy around. Just play to your personality—letting your creativity and uniqueness shine through can be what really catches her eye.

But even if you’re horribly awkward in front of the camera—or if your mug doesn’t quite measure up to Chris Hemsworth levels—you can still gain her attention.

How to appear more attractive to women instantly

<h1>Apply it to your neck and your pain may disappear.</h1>

People who suffer from a severe form of headache called cluster headaches now have a new, noninvasive treatment option: a mild electrical zap to relieve the pain.

The device, which just received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), is called GammaCore. It promises to relieve the pain of cluster headaches by providing electric stimulation when held against the neck.

Cluster headaches aren’t common, but can be debilitating, leaving people in severe pain and unable to function. Less than one percent of the population—primarily men—suffer from them, and most experience them in episodes, disappearing for months then returning day after day.

The GammaCore device interferes with pain signals transmitted through the vagus nerve, which connects the brain and the gut. And it seems like blocking that path can lead to effective relief: A study published in Headache last year found that 27 percent of people with cluster headaches felt better 15 minutes after using it, compared to 15 percent patients who got a placebo.

Previously, the primary treatments for cluster headaches included inhaled oxygen and the medication sumatriptan, according to NBC. Unlike pre-existing remedies, GammaCore can be used as often as you need, isn’t invasive, and doesn’t come with the side effects of other treatments, said Stephen Silberstein, M.D., director of the Headache Center at Jefferson University in a press release.

GammaCore is now on the market in Europe and should hit the U.S. this summer. If you suffer from cluster headaches, you may want to touch base with your doctor now to see if the device may be a potential treatment option for you.

<h1>All you need is your bodyweight and a bench or ottoman</h1>

Here's a great anytime, anywhere workout that you can knock out in 25 minutes or less when you're crunched for time. All you need is a bench, though you can modify at home or in a hotel room with an ottoman.

The 50-second work periods will test your muscular endurance and also eat up the sugar stored in your muscles to put your body in a fat-burning state post-exercise. The short 10-second rest periods will keep your heart rate up the entire session, crush calories, and leave you with a sweat-soaked shirt by the time you're done.

Do each move for 50 seconds with 10 seconds of rest between moves:

3. 1.5 Bulgarian split squat, left side

4. 1.5 Bulgarian split squat, left side

That's 1 round. Do 3 to 5 rounds based on your schedule and fitness level.

Only have 10 minutes to train? Then just do 2 rounds. A recent study showed that a 10-minute circuit done once had the same post-workout afterburn of the same circuit done 3 times.

Yes, the longer workout burned more overall calories. But the big takeaway here is that something is always better than nothing, especially when you hit it with enough intensity.

<h1>​You may subconsciously be trying to show off your status, researchers say.</h1>

Forget expensive vacations and luxury items: Being busy is the new status symbol, according to a study in the Journal of Consumer Research.

In the past, Americans boasted about leisure activities like golf and island hopping, but now they tend to engage in humblebrag about how they’re too busy with work to even take a vacation, researchers say.

During a series of studies in both Italy and the U.S., researchers looked at how busyness at work impacts perception of status. They found that Americans are increasingly finding social affirmation based on the humblebrag that they “have no life” because of overwhelming work.

Even some celebs are getting in on it. About 12 percent of self-deprecating tweets—most from celebrities—included humblebrags about hard work and no free time.

In another experiment, participants were asked to guess the social status and wealth from a number of Facebook user updates. Those who showed relentless work were seen as more favorable than those with tons of vacation pics and other leisure activities.

The effect is reversed for Italians, who still view a leisurely life as indicative of high status.

The researchers also found that use of products and services related to busyness can convey status. For instance, online grocery delivery was seen as a status symbol because it’s associated with lacking the time to shop yourself.

Conspicuous consumption is now more about the preciousness and scarcity of time than about goods, the researchers concluded. People with scant available free time were seen as possessing desirable characteristics—basically, they were seen as “in demand,” and that gave them a certain high-status allure.

But that status can come at a steep price.

Apart from the fact that humblebragging is annoying, overworking can be extremely hard on your health. It tends to raise stress levels—especially if you really aren’t taking a vacation or weekends off—and that taxes your immune system and increases risk of serious health issues like heart disease and cancer.

So if you’re packing your schedule to prove that you’re in demand—consciously or unconsciously—taking a step back might be just what the doctor ordered.

<h1>New guidelines would exclude more than 9 million Americans</h1>

Heart health often feels like something only those “at risk” have to worry about. But who exactly is considered at risk depends on which heart health guidelines your doctor is following, according to a new study in JAMA.

In 2013, the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) released their recommendations for statin therapy, a cholesterol-lowering preventive treatment for heart disease. The guidelines substantially increased the pool of people who would be eligible to take the drugs.

Then in 2016, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) released their own set of recommendations, which upped the risk threshold for cardiovascular disease and required that a patient have at least one existing risk factor (like hypertension or diabetes) in order to qualify for the preventive heart health therapy. In other words, it raised the bar for which risk factors were serious enough for concern.

But is that a good thing? After analyzing the two groups covered by each set of guidelines, the researchers in JAMA concluded that a lot of young adults with high longterm risk of heart issues may be excluded from getting preventive meds—even though they still have some serious long-term risk factors.

Here’s how the numbers break down between the two sets: Under the 2016 guidelines, about 17.1 million adults should start taking statins (on top of those already on the meds). But if doctors stick to the 2013 ACC/AHA recommendations, 26.4 million U.S. adults should start taking statins—that's a difference of about 9.3 million people. So put another way, the 2013 guidelines covered about 24 percent more people.

Among those included in the 2013 at risk group but not the 2016 guidelines, 55 percent are adults ages 40 to 59 years with an average risk of heart issues over 30 years greater than 30 percent, and 28 percent have diabetes. Both of these factors can signal high risk for heart issues.

So the jury is still out on what constitutes high enough risk to start taking statins as preventive therapy. Until a greater medical consensus can be reached, your best bet is to talk to your doctor about what works for your particular situation. And in the meantime, be sure to take advantage of med-free ways to keep your heart healthy, like through regular exercise and a heart-healthy diet.

<h1>This wearable is better than any of Googles Android products.</h1>

Verily, the health company formerly known as Google Life Sciences, owned by Google's parent company, Alphabet, has released a smartwatch with the most robust health tracking system ever—but it's not for sale. Sorry, guys.

Called Study Watch, it’s designed to track physiological and environmental sensors—such as electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate, electrodermal activity, and movement—over a long period of time. The watch will work as a wearable research tool for clinical studies and personalized healthcare.

It looks just like a normal watch, and Verily designed it to ensure people wear the thing 24/7 to get the most accurate tracking. Its battery lasts up to a week, and it encrypts and processes data in the Cloud, cutting down the need to sync it.

For now, Verily has partnered with the Personalized Parkinson’s Project, a multi-year study to identify patterns in the disease's progression and work toward more personalized treatments. Duke University and Stanford Medicine are also using Study Watch in long-term study that will follow approximately 10,000 participants for four years to better understand the transition to certain diseases, like cancer.

You might still benefit from the watch’s finding, even if you can’t buy it. Luckily for you, we can also recommend some pretty great substitutes.

<h1>Thankfully, the two have settled their feud</h1>

The Rock and Vin Diesel are finally on good terms again after a strange, months-long feud that emerged during the filming of their latest movie, The Fate of the Furious. However, thanks to TMZ, we now know why their flare-up started in the first place.

Per the popular Hollywood gossip site, The Rock and Diesel were arguing about "real estate" during the movie's making, meaning the amount of screen time each actor received in the film. Apparently, The Rock was particularly incensed and felt snubbed about his slightly lesser role, but ultimately ceded that the franchise has been a vehicle for Diesel, first and foremost.

No doubt Vin Diesel feels vindicated by the movie's box office performance; Fate of the Furious ultimately ended up breaking box office records in its opening weekend, and is performing as well as you would hope for the eighth installment of a revered blockbuster series.

According to TMZ, it seems that this movie won't be the last that The Rock and Diesel do together, either. With the days of "candy ass" apparently behind us, The Rock is reportedly "1000% in" for the next adventure. Keep the car running.

<h1>This breakthrough uses the “neighbor effect” to help stem the virus’ growth.</h1>

A major scientific breakthrough has happened in the field of HIV research. Researchers are now able to create HIV-resistant cells, a new study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reveals.

What does that mean, exactly? Scientists were able to attach HIV-fighting antibodies to immune cells, which creates a cell population within the body that is resistant to falling prey to the HIV virus. These resistant cells rapidly take the place of diseased cells, which means it’s markedly more effective than other HIV treatments and therapies.

Cells without that tethered antibody protection were overrun with the HIV virus and ultimately died off, which leaves the protected cells to survive and multiply, all the while passing on that protective gene mutation to the newly-minted cells. This is colloquially dubbed “the neighbor effect.”

The research was conducted by The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) in San Diego, California, where lab workers first tested their hypothesis against rhinovirus, most notorious for causing the common cold. “This is really a form of cellular vaccination,” said study senior author Dr. Richard Lerner, Professor of Immunochemistry at TSRI.

From 2005 to 2014, the annual number of new HIV diagnoses dropped by 19 percent, but the disease is still an issue. In the U.S. alone, more than 1.2 million people are living with the virus and one in eight patients doesn’t even know it.

The numbers are in for the eighth installment of the high-octane Fast franchise, Fate of the Furious. Though it should be a surprise to pretty much no one, The Rock and Vin Diesel's blockbuster vehicle is a smash hit. However, the extent to which it is currently dominating the box office is raising eyebrows and breaking records.

The F. Gary Gray-directed film has set the new standard for an opening weekend at the box office, besting the mark set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Fate of the Furious pulled in $532 million, while Force Awakens nabbed $529 mil.

The movie's promotional cycle was marked by controversy, as a strange feud erupted between The Rock and Diesel, stemming from a disagreement which led The Rock to refer to Diesel as a "candy ass" on Facebook.

In recent weeks, the two appeared to bury the hatchet, perhaps paving the way for their film to capture the attention of millions. While the story didn't exactly crush in the United States, it did massively well on the global market, where it accrued $433.2 million of its total haul, per CNN.

This means it also broke Jurassic World's record for an international opening. In 2015, the dinosaur thriller made $316.7 million.

<h1>Could this next model be Apple’s best?</h1>

According to a rumor first reported by iDrop News—who themselves were relaying the information from a source linked to the Chinese manufacturer that actually builds iPhones for Apple, Foxconn—there is a high likelihood that the iPhone 8 (if that’s what the marketing geniuses opt to call it) will have a full touchscreen on the front.

The rumors could further serve to titillate those in the public who treat phones like a new gaming console (and, judging by the masses lined up outside of Apple stores on their release dates, there are a lot of you). These rumors include a 5.8 inch OLED display—the biggest ever for an iPhone—with a touch ID underneath, slightly curved glass, an “invisible” selfie camera beneath the display, virtually the same dimensions as the iPhone 7, and wireless charging, though the reports on the charging method are admittedly a bit vague.

Furthermore, the report states that there are currently two iPhone 8 prototypes being tested, one that’s innovative, and another that is more standard. The first prototype would have Touch ID on the back, the other would have Touch ID underneath the display.

Leaked technical drawings of the soon-to-be-here phone have made their way on to the Chinese social media network, Weibo. We won’t establish the narrative for you—it’s up to you to decide whether it looks ugly or impractical or whatever. Consider, for the sake of establishing perspective, that not that long ago people were lugging around clunky Motorolas and beepers.

Oh, and also consider that the schematics could be fake. Get hyped at your own risk.

<h1>This re-imagined Chevrolet Camaro has more power than the new Dodge Demon</h1>

Last year, a Tallahassee-based company called Trans Am Worldwide unveiled a little car called the Trans Am Bandit edition at the New York Auto Show. The outfit had purchased the Pontiac name and badge rights, taken a fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro and used it as the jump-off to give the world what a Pontiac Trans Am would look like had Pontiac continued to make Screaming Chickens.

The Bandit Edition came with an 840-horsepower LT1 engine, custom seats, hand-painted decals and Burt Reynold’s signature on the dash. It’s hard to top such a magnificent creation, but Trans Am Worldwide owners Tod and Scott Warmack have done precisely that.

Meet the 2017 Trans Am Super Duty. It’s based on a sixth-gen Camaro, the all new Alpha platform (which also underpins Cadillac’s super-sedan ATS-V). Chief designer and engineer Tom Sawyer gave the front and rear fascia’s a complete facelift, resulting in the most OEM-looking Pontiac Trans Am that Pontiac didn’t build. Impressive as the aesthetics are, the performance is where things get properly bonkers.

Using the same 7.4-liter V-8 LT1 base engine, there’s now a Magnuson Supercharger atop the block. There’s some other engineering magic in there too, thanks to a premier NASCAR engine builder from Virginia, and the powerplant now produces a whopping 1,000 horsepower and 1,046 lb-ft of torque. We’ll give you a moment to digest those absurdly awesome numbers.

That’s more horses than the highly-anticipated Dodge Demon (a mere 840-hp), more than the Camaro ZL1 (650) and more than a Ferrari 488 (660). With specs like those, it’s unclear what will scream louder when you mash the accelerator to the floor: the Trans Am Super Duty or you.

Pricing has yet to be set, but expect it to be in the six-figures, which does include the cost of the donor Camaro. Want one? Act quickly. Trans Am Worldwide will only be making 50 of these monsters. We stopped by to chat with Tod Warmack about his latest offering.

This 1,000HP 2017 Pontiac Trans Am is delightfully insane

In the battle of social media supremacy, things are starting to take a turn for the worse over at Snapchat. As Mashable reports, Instagram Stories—the Snapchat-like feature on Instagram that was rolled out in August of 2016—now has more daily active users than Snapchat. According to Instagram, over 200 million people now use the feature per day. Last month, Snapchat announced that their daily active user base was comprised of just 161 million people.

In a matter of months, Instagram's new initiative has managed to surpass its main competitor, despite the fact that it has been widely recognized as a Snapchat clone. Apparently, the ease of having two apps in one has been a draw for many would-be Snapchatters. And, unfortunately for the company, things may only go further south. In conjunction with Instagram's announcement to celebrate the user milestone, they also unveiled a new line of features set to debut on Stories: geostickers, sticker pinning, and selfie stickers.

If they sound familiar, it's because these are things you already have had with Snapchat. However, for someone who would rather streamline their social media presence than deal with two separate accounts, Instagram's aping is certainly convenient. Could this spell the beginning of the end for Snapchat? Either way, it appears that their future as the go-to social media story app is considerably less bright.

And it doesnt look like things are about to get any better

Instagram is completely crushing Snapchat right now

<h1>The tech giant is apparently aiming to expand its scope even more</h1>
