Summer Walker (an American singer) just did what most weird, heartbroken people wish they could do. Crush your ex’s junk under a hydraulic machine, and call it therapy. Ahead of her new album Finally Over It (dropping November 14), the R&B star teamed up with YouTube to launch the “Finally Over It Dump Truck Service.” A mint-green, heartbreak-themed mobile pop-up that literally lets fans throw out their ex’s stuff. The truck pulled up at Morehouse College in Atlanta last weekend, where students from Spelman and Clark Atlanta lined up to toss hoodies, teddy bears, and leftover emotional baggage straight into…

Some people fight for love. Some for honor, and then there’s Peter Riera, a 44-year-old Florida man who fought for egg accuracy and brought a gun to the argument. It all went down outside Harper’s Pub in Port St. Lucie around 2:30 a.m., when Riera, who, yes, raises chickens, got into a drunken debate with three people about how many eggs a chicken can lay. According to police, Riera claimed the others were trying to con him, but instead of counting to ten or walking away from a group of unknown drunken men asking how many eggs a chicken can…

Imagine still owing someone money from two decades ago, and the guilt hits you so hard, you go on national TV to find them. That’s exactly what happened to Mr. Li, a man from Huaibei, China, who’s been trying to track down his first love from 20 years ago. Not to rekindle romance, but to repay a $1,400 debt that’s been haunting him like emotional interest. Back in 1991, Li was a 23-year-old dreamer who fell in love with Ma, a 25-year-old divorcee with a child. They worked together, dated for eight years, and broke up after Li’s father fell…

You ever see a story so dumb that you start double-checking it’s not a troll? Because the Louvre — yes, the home of the Mona Lisa and roughly half of Earth’s cultural heritage got robbed of $103 million worth of jewels, and the post-heist report revealed that the password for the museum’s video security system was literally “Louvre.” That’s it. No numbers, no exclamation point, no “L0uvr3.” Just… Louvre. According to documents seen by Libération, France’s National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) found the museum’s surveillance network was trivial to access.” The password for another critical software? “THALES,” which, hilariously, is also…

Imagine opening your mailbox, expecting another medical bill, or some weird thing your neighbours’ kids placed, but instead you find a letter from your hospital that says, “We’re so sorry you’ve passed away.” Yeah, that’s not the kind of check-up anyone wants. That’s what happened to 531 living patients when MaineHealth, the state’s largest healthcare provider, accidentally mailed out death notices meant for deceased individuals. Each letter expressed condolences to the family and included instructions for how the next of kin could handle the patient’s estate. Translation: They’re basically saying you’re dead. Here’s how to wrap things up. According to…

You know how most couples save for years to afford a dream wedding? Yeah, Dagobert Renouf didn’t do that. The French tech entrepreneur didn’t just think outside the box, he freaking sold the box. When he couldn’t afford to marry his fiancée, Anna Plynina, he turned his wedding suit into literal ad space, 26 startup logos stitched right onto his tuxedo. A few months ago, Renouf was broke, “close to homelessness.” Still, he wanted to give Anna the wedding she deserved. One day, he posted on X (Twitter) joking that he’d sell ad spots on his wedding jacket to pay…

My first reaction? Nope. Absolutely not. If I ever walk into a cave and see a wall breathing, I’m out faster than you can say “Spider-Man, do something!” Because scientists in Romania just found the world’s biggest spider web, and no, this isn’t some Halloween marketing stunt or a deleted scene from Spider-Man 4: No Way Out of This Web. This monstrous web was discovered inside Sulfur Cave, right between Greece and Albania. It stretches over 1,100 square feet, basically, a whole apartment made of silk, and houses more than 111,000 spiders. Yeah, one hundred thousand eight-legged freeloaders. Heck, imagine…

Guys, I’ve been away for a while now (I went on a pilgrimage trip with my grandma. Even though I do not like temples and stuff, I had to go as she’s 70 years old) So, sorry for not writing daily. Alright, this story, you could say, life gave him one last breath, and he used it to tell the truth. 22-year-old Daniel Waterman was in the passenger seat when his girlfriend, Leigha Mumby, 24, allegedly lost control on I-95 in Flagler County during Super Bowl weekend. Except according to Daniel, it wasn’t an accident. What happened is… she’d just…

Florida just found a new battlefield in the culture war over a prefix. A Gainesville elementary school teacher was placed on administrative leave for asking to be called “Mx.” instead of “Ms.” or “Mrs.” “Not every hill is worth dying on.” Heck, I didn’t even know there was something called an Mx, and the hell do you pronounce it? I looked it up, and it says the term is pronounced as “mix,” and has been around since the ‘70s, but apparently, it just met its Florida Man moment. According to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, this “violates state law,” specifically…

So people in Japan are paying $25 to dress as maids and serve tea to the actual café staff. It’s called the “Café Where You Can Become a Maid” (because of course it is), and it’s a pop-up event by a creative team promoting maid cosplay culture. For 4,000 yen (around $25), you get 90 minutes of pure role-reversal chaos. You wear an elegant long maid dress, not the short, cutesy Akihabara kind, and serve cake and tea to staff pretending to be ojou-sama, the classy anime lady archetype who calls people “my dear.” Also guys, there are no changing…

How do you know for sure if you want to raise kids or just have them? Because you cannot walk away once you have one. Anyway, let’s talk about this woman who woke up one morning and decided that motherhood was holding her back from her wanderlust era. In a now-viral video, the young mom casually says, “I really don’t care,” as she talks about dropping off her 7-year-old daughter for the last time to be picked up by her new adoptive parents. She claims it’s a turning point, not because of emotional growth, but because she’s about to sell…

Have you ever heard something so absurd that your brain just… blue screens? That’s me right now, reading that a court literally said a rape “did not last long enough.” Like there’s a timer somewhere that decides when a crime officially becomes tragic. In Sweden, an 18-year-old Eritrean refugee named Yazied Mohamed was convicted of raping 16-year-old Meya Åberg while she was walking home from her McDonald’s shift after missing the bus. The attack happened in a tunnel—yeah, a literal horror-movie setup for the poor girl, and the family reported it immediately. Mohamed got three years in prison. But the…

You know the world’s changing when people start lining up to help the cops, and all it took was free lunch and a legal high. The Ocean City Police Department in Maryland got the shock of their lives after putting out what might be the easiest public service request ever. “We’re looking for volunteers (21+) to smoke cannabis for training purposes.” Within just four hours, they were completely overwhelmed with applications. Apparently, half the city was ready to light up in the name of justice. The event…part of the Maryland Highway Safety Office’s annual DUI Conference, was meant to help…

In what has to be one of the most bizarre jealousy-fueled crimes in recent memory, a 60-year-old man from Songyuan City in Jilin Province, China, attacked his wife because she got a discount on pork. According to reports, the man, identified only as Zou, became convinced that his wife, Zhao, was having an affair with their local butcher, and the reason? She’d been paying a little less for her meat lately. Zou and Zhao had been married for over 30 years and were known in their neighborhood as a quiet, stable couple. But earlier this year, Zou noticed that Zhao…

In one of the most ridiculous cases of long-term fraud you’ll ever hear, a 70-year-old man from Vicenza, Italy, has been accused of faking blindness for over 50 years, all while pocketing more than €1 million ($1.16 million) in disability benefits. Yeah, half a century of “can’t see” and somehow he never missed a paycheck. Authorities say the man was declared completely blind after a workplace accident decades ago. But when police ran cross-checks on disability claims, something didn’t add up. So they did what any good investigator would. They followed him around. And oh boy, the man wasn’t just…
