Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The end of a relationship can be a hard time, so it’s not uncommon for people to experience emotional outbursts.

From throwing rocks through their ex’s windows to sleeping with their best friend, the users of anonymous secrets app Whisper have certainly tried inventive ways to seek revenge of their former partner.

(Whisper)

One inventive ex “peed in his laundry soap after eating a lot of asparagus”. They added it was a revenge that “lasts for 40 washes.”

(Whisper)

Another user took a more violent approach to having their heart broken, posting that they “busted her lover’s nose”.

(Whisper)

Some users took the experience better, using it to enrich their own lives. One user “moved out of the country”, while another cut off most of their hair because they wanted a “change”.
