And tons of people are posting pictures and videos of themselves eating them.

You know, like Russian roulette. But with chips instead of guns.

Some consumers are calling the spicy chips "a solid slap in the face," and hundreds have taken to posting videos of themselves taking the challenge on YouTube, the Financial Post reports.

The Roulette edition was launched in Canada last month, but — sadly — it's not clear whether they'll come to the U.S. or not.

Reddit Co-Founder On Sexism In Tech: "We're Missing Out As An Industry"

During a BuzzFeed Brews with CBS This Morning interview, Alexis Ohanian gave advice to troubled executives from Snapchat and Tinder.

BuzzFeed

With young male executives from Snapchat, Rap Genius, and Tinder all coming under fire this year for various sexist behaviors, there has never been more attention on the tech community's longstanding discrimination problems. During Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian's BuzzFeed Brews with CBS This Morning interview on Monday, BuzzFeed FWD Editor Charlie Warzel asked Ohanian about the advice he would give to these young founders. Ohanaian, who is an active investor with over "eighty tech startups," had strong words for the three executives and quickly agreed that there is a problem with sexism in tech.

"From one white guy to another, we've been afforded a tremendous amount of privilege that we just got," Ohanian said. "It's a life lottery ticket. If we believe in tech, and we really believe in technology, we need to behave like leaders. When you're an executive or a founder at a startup, you have to hold yourself to a higher standard and you have to be willing to do the things like taking accountability for your actions, even if they were stupid emails in college."

Ohanian went on to say that these problems are not only discriminatory, but bad for business as well. "We're missing out as an industry," he said. "It's not in the best interest of your company. You're missing out on so much talent you could be getting."

In March 2013, Ohanian published a blogpost criticizing users of Reddit and members of the tech industry for harassing developer Adria Roberts

"It's irresponsible to continue to act as though we are victims," he wrote.

Watch the video below to hear Ohanian's complete thoughts on the subject.

Murdering fireflies to make face paint.

Fireflies or lightning bugs are THE summer bug. They light up the night sky with their glow and probably lit up your face and arms after you squeezed their juice out of them. It's OK, we all did it.

Spending hours outside with streams of water.

Yard sprinklers are MAGICAL. Honestly the most fun you could ever have in an afternoon. And you still remember how the grass stuck to your skin. ~ Memories ~

Hoping to god you don't hit a rock.

The only thing better than sprinklers is a SLIP N' SLIDE. Add some soap, and live your damn life in the best way possible.

Being the first to jump into the lake.

Lakes are the best place for summer activities, and if you don't agree, you're wrong. There's nothing better than a weekend spent on the lake. And if you were the FIRST into the lake of the year, you deserve a damn medal.

The U.N. Now Recognizes Same-Sex Marriages For All Of Its Staffers

“I am proud to stand for greater equality for all staff,” U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement accompanying the announcement.

The United Nations is now providing full benefits to all staffers in legal same-sex marriages, regardless if their country of citizenship officially recognizes their union, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced Monday. Previously, the U.N. only recognized marriages from countries where same-sex unions are legal.

The new policy quietly went into effect June 26 and only impacts those at the U.N. secretariat, which employs about 43,000 staffers worldwide. Other U.N. organizations, including UNESCO and the World Food Program, already recognized employees in same-sex unions regardless of where they took place, according to Huffington Post.

"Human rights are at the core of the mission of the United Nations," Ki-moon said in a statement accompanying the announcement. "I am proud to stand for greater equality for all staff, and I call on all members of our UN family to unite in rejecting homophobia as discrimination that can never be tolerated at our workplace."

The UN-GLOBE, which represents LGBT U.N. employees, welcomed the announcement but told Huffington Post that further barriers remained.

"Let me reiterate UN-GLOBE's belief that the fairest policy would have been an affidavit policy, as it would have covered general service, national, and even some international staff who, under the newly adopted policy, may not be able to secure visas, nor have the resources, to travel to a country where legal unions are performed," said UN-GLOBE President Hyung Hak "Alfonso" Nam. "But for now, I would say this: at long last. Let us just enjoy this moment, this huge victory."

According to First Aid Kit .

This is First Aid Kit.

They're a Swedish folk duo formed by sisters Johanna, 23, and Klara Söderberg, 21, and they're two very talented peas in a pod. Here, the siblings tell you just why being super close with your sis is the absolute best.

instagram.com

You just have that undefinable sisterly intuition.

Johanna Söderberg: Playing music and singing together is so easy for us. We have similar singing voices and we phrase in the same way. When we sing we don't even have to talk about it, we just know instantly what the other person's going to do. I know what she's going to say before she says it.

Via giphy.com

You can always be honest with your sister...

JS: When we write songs we can be really open with each other and be really honest. We don't have to be scared that one of us is going to react a certain way so we don't have to compromise as much. It really helps when you're being creative with someone to know them so well.

Via giphy.com

...and she'll be sure to keep you grounded when life gets hectic.

JS: We have to tour a lot and it can be kind of scary to be away from home that much. Having each other, having someone that you know that well, makes you aware of how crazy things are. She's someone who's always been there and someone who knows you. I'll be the one who will say, "Klara, no, you're not that cool."

Klara Söderberg: Oh wow, thanks! [laughs]

JS: [Laughs] But not in a bad way! We keep each other down to earth.
