AdvertisementThese convenience stores also double up as pit stops that live up to their name by offering customers access to ATMs and printers, as well as other services like bill payments and buying concert tickets. That said, Americans who want to enjoy some of the Japanese 7-Eleven magic closer to home won't have to wait much longer. America's 7-Elevens get a Japanese makeoverThe stores in the US will soon get a fresher variety of food similar to their Japanese counterparts.

A programmer has created an AI version of David Attenborough to narrate his life. AdvertisementIf you've ever wanted acclaimed broadcaster and documentary filmmaker Sir David Attenborough to narrate your life, you're not alone — and you don't have to keep merely wishing for it anymore. He's been posting quirky experiments with AI on X — like one that uses AI to recommend how you should correct your posture. And it's made possible by combining OpenAI's GPT-4-vision — an AI model that can describe what it sees — and code from Elevens Lab, an AI voice startup. One X user wrote, "I'm going to get David Attenborough to narrate videos of my baby learning how to eat broccoli."

☆ Cars crash into 7-Eleven stores every day, and the problem just cost the chain $91 million after a man tragically lost his legs

Vehicles crash into buildings with surprising frequency in the US: more than 100 times each day. On average, one of those crashes each day happens at a 7-Eleven. In all, there were 6,253 storefront crashes at 7-Elevens in that period — an average of more than one per day. The once-a-day crash at 7-Eleven is in fact dwarfed by the total number of crashes that take place at storefronts across the US, however. "If you install bollards, you pretty much solve that problem," Storefront Safety Council co-founder Rob Reiter told CBS Chicago.

☆ I'm an American who visited 7-Eleven in Japan, and it totally blew US convenience stores out of the water

The 7-Eleven storefronts in Japan and the US look almost identical, but the convenience stores are vastly different on the inside. There are 7-Elevens around the world, including in Okinawa, Japan. Nickelle TilleyBefore I moved from the US to Okinawa, Japan, I'd heard about the country's vibrant culture, futuristic technology, and incredible cuisine. However, I didn't expect that I'd be regularly going to the local 7-Eleven to satisfy my breakfast, lunch, and dinner cravings. Even though the stores in Japan look familiar on the outside, they offer a shopping experience that's drastically different from the one I'm used to having at US convenience stores.
