Okay, so we need to talk. I mean really talk. Because in a world where AI is writing Drake songs, billionaires are trying to colonize Mars, and people are still fighting over pineapple on pizza, actress Sydney Sweeney just added a new entry to the “Did That Just Happen?” list: She’s bottling her bathwater. But like, as soap, and selling it. Yes. That’s real. The “Euphoria” and “Anyone But You” star, beloved internet crush, and reigning queen of viral moments, has teamed up with Dr. Squatch to launch a limited-edition bar soap called Sydney’s Bathwater Bliss. For $8 a bar,…

Let me ask you something. If I told you that a drug made from human bones is circulating in West Africa, killing a dozen people a week, and somehow a 21-year-old ex-flight attendant from London is now stuck in a Sri Lankan prison because of it, would you believe me? Because this actually happened. Charlotte May Lee, from South London, was arrested earlier this month at Bandaranaike Airport in Colombo after customs officers allegedly found over 100 pounds of a synthetic drug called kush in her luggage. Not your average street drug—this one reportedly includes tranquilizers, mystery chemicals, and, yes,…

So, France’s budget minister, Amélie de Montchalin, just went viral, but not for passing a law, dodging taxes, or making a stirring parliamentary speech. No, the internet gods chose a very different reason to shine their spotlight: She was caught on camera… picking her nose, and then—brace yourself…eating it. Yep, that happened. In parliament. On camera. In HD clarity. In the now-viral clip, Amélie de Montchalin is seen flipping through documents in what looks like a fairly mundane session. She’s dressed in an elegant white jacket with a scarf, channeling every bit of French chic. But somewhere between budget lines…

So, you board a flight in 2026, shuffle down the aisle, and instead of collapsing into your usual crumb-filled seat, you’re directed to what looks suspiciously like a padded barstool at a rollercoaster ride. Congratulations, you’re flying standing class. Yes, budget airlines are reportedly on the brink of launching “standing-only” seats, officially called Skyrider 2.0, as early as next year. And no, this isn’t an Onion article. This is real aviation news from our dear friends at Aviointeriors, an Italian manufacturer who seems to have looked at medieval torture devices and thought, “You know what would make flying better? Less…

Alright, let me walk you through the wildest (and possibly the weirdest) thing the internet threw at us this week: A video of a lion skydiving with a man. Yes, an actual lion, soaring through the skies like it just ditched the jungle life for a GoPro and adrenaline rush. No, this isn’t the plot of a new DreamWorks movie. The video, originally posted by @travelling.shillong on Instagram, shows what appears to be a lion mid-air, free-falling in tandem with a human skydiver. It quickly racked up more than 35 million views, along with a chaotic mix of reactions, and…

So this is one of those moments where irony meets tragedy, takes a selfie, and posts it with the hashtag #TooReal. Scott Adams, the man who brought us Dilbert, the once universally loved comic strip skewering the absurdities of cubicle life, has just announced he’s battling the same aggressive prostate cancer as former President Joe Biden. Except, unlike Biden, Adams says he might not make it past the summer. The news came from his own podcast, Real Coffee with Scott Adams, where he didn’t sugarcoat a thing. “I’m just the dying cancer guy now,” he said, describing his condition as…

So…what happens when the person you call for help turns out to be the one you need protecting from? That’s the cruel twist at the heart of this latest gut-punch out of Edmonton. Constable Hunter Robinz, a 39-year-old Edmonton police officer and former soldier, has just been sentenced to six months in jail for using his badge to prey on vulnerable women he encountered while on duty. Yes, you read that right — six months. Not years, not even one full year, just six months. From 2017 to 2019, Robinz used his position of authority to approach at least eight…

Well folks, Canada just made a pretty wild pivot in the tech-politics world: They’ve officially appointed a Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation. Yep, AI now has a seat at the government table, and leading the charge is Evan Solomon—former journalist, political commentator, and now freshly elected MP for Toronto Centre. If that name rings a bell, it might be from his past media gigs or the occasional Twitter drama (one user joked that if Evan has intelligence, it’s probably artificial—but hey, who among us hasn’t reposted a bad meme?). So what’s the big deal? This is the first…

Grief has a strange way of reshaping the heart. For Alaina Winters, a 58-year-old retired communications teacher from Pittsburgh, love didn’t come knocking again in the form of a human—it slid into her life through a chatbot screen named Lucas. After her wife Donna passed away in July 2023 due to a cascade of medical complications like blood clots, respiratory infection, and sepsis, Alaina was left gutted. Imagine spending years building a life with someone, then one day, you’re just… alone. The silence can be deafening. A year into mourning, still tangled in grief, she stumbled upon an ad on…

Wow…. Imagine you’re the President of the United States, mid-air on a return trip from the Middle East, after making massive international economic deals, and your next big thought is… whether Taylor Swift is still hot. Yes, folks, welcome to Trump’s America in 2025. On Friday, Donald Trump took a break from geopolitics and global diplomacy to jump on Truth Social with this gem: “Has anyone noticed that, since I said ‘I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,’ she’s no longer ‘HOT?’” The former TV host and now-irritated president seemed to believe he had the power not only to sway elections but also…

So, blink. Did you do it? Good. Because in that time, a group of Purdue University students just solved a Rubik’s Cube. I mean…they didn’t just solve it—they obliterated a world record while doing so. Meet “Purdubik’s Cube,” the robot that cracked the colorful cube in a staggering 0.103 seconds. That’s faster than the average blink of a human eye, which lags behind at a sluggish 200-300 milliseconds. Take that, biology. Purdubik’s Cube is the brainchild of four electrical and computer engineering students: Junpei Ota, Aden Hurd, Matthew Patrohay, and Alex Berta. This project began as an entry in Purdue’s…

I’ve got a story that’ll make your jaw drop and your head spin faster than a TikTok trend. A third-grader in Minneapolis, just trying to get through math class, forgets his school laptop at home. No big deal, right? The teacher hands him a personal iPad to use instead. But when the kid and a classmate close out a tab, bam—up pops a video of, in the words of the kid’s dad, Levi Chapman, “a bunch of naked men lying on top of each other.” Yeah, you read that right. This happened at Las Estrellas Elementary, and now the school’s…

So, I just saw a video of a golden retriever riding a jet ski in Florida, and honestly, it was everything you’d expect and more. Yes, you read that right—a dog. On a jet ski. In Fort Lauderdale. Looking like the poster child for “living your best life.” It all went down off the coast, where a dog was perched like a little sea king atop a jet ski and was seen riding it. The pooch, sporting a bright yellow life jacket, sat there with a regal calmness that made me question my own posture and purpose in life. A…

At first, it seemed like the right decision. When Jasmine was born in May 2023, her father, a 32-year-old man from Sichuan province, China chose to do what society rarely expects of men: Stay home and raise his daughter. No salary, no office, no applause. Just 6 a.m. bottle feeds, back-breaking diaper changes, and lullabies instead of deadlines while dealing with joint pains. His job in pet food sales had been flexible. His wife’s wasn’t—she had a stable government position and was just out of her maternity leave. With no help from grandparents and no money for a nanny, “Jasmine’s…

You’d expect the biggest hurdles in a PhD journey to be academic — complex research, endless citations, the pressure to publish. But for Shorya Sood, a third-year PhD student at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi, India the challenge wasn’t intellectual. It was something far more basic, yet deeply degrading: Using the washroom. As a disabled person, Shorya uses a wheelchair. For the past two months, the only disabled-accessible toilet on the ground floor of his department — the School of Social Sciences 2 has had a broken flush. “I am physically challenged and a wheelchair user,” Shorya wrote in…
