I was searching for a new water bottle and this was among the google results.

And it’s not the only empty bottle or can for sale.

I understand selling vintage or rare ephemera but I these are currently produced items used by a non famous person.

Is it an art project of some sort?

I was on KnowYourMeme looking for something unrelated and saw this page was receiving attention:

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/anatomy-of-a-gamer

Apparently this is a fairly popular meme on Twitter/X for some reason? This really creeps me out, some commenters tried to defend it by saying it's 'ironic' and others just posted disgustingly creepy stuff. I don't use Twitter/X, has this kind of thing been normalized​ over there?

So what I’ve been kind of understanding is that it’s a massive surveillance bill that attacks our amendments I feel like I’m not fully understanding it as in how much of a big deal this is and how this affects us?

Trump immunity case highlights: Ex-president's lawyers and DOJ argue before Supreme Court (nbcnews.com)

This seems like it could shape up to be a landmark case but I'm not particularly clued up on the legal importance or ramifications.

If anyone would be able to ecplain what potential rulings may be possible and their significance, that would be great. Also I'd be interested to here your opinions on the case more personally/

Thanks

I was probably living under the rock. In my eyes Rowling was a beloved author of children’s book.

Why it seems like internet hates her now? There are a lot of articles that say she hates trans people,… and I’m confused.

Could someone explain it to my like I’m 5? Some time line will help too.

Thank you.

I’ve seen a few headlines mainly on Reddit in passing about something or someone called ‘baby reindeer’ and it sounds like something serious occurred.

Posted on r/pics and seen a couple of other places in comments.

I used to love watching Rooster Teeth stuff years ago back when I was in high school, starting off with RWBY before finding their other things. I eventually just lost interest in most of what they were making and haven't followed what they are up to in years. This morning I see that they are shutting down and this was their last stream?

I also got this in my YT recommended and the comments are all talking about how Bernie is back?

What's going on and what happened?

I wasn't quite sure, because I guess since it was live-service to begin with you should've expected it to be killed some day, but I found at least 10 other games who have done the exact same thing since 2000, so like, why wasn't there a big deal for those? I mean I've never heard of Soul of the Ultimate Nation or Tabula Rasa but according to what I looked up they were also paid MMOs that got shut down.

Girlfriend told me her friend messaged her and said "I want to do an experiment, what's the first thing that comes to mind when I saw alphabet letter tattoo?". My girlfriend asked me and I had no idea so she sent back "The letter J" And her friend messaged her back saying "No, you're supposed to say Owen Gray!". Neither of us know who that is and there is limited reference material, on Tik Tok we found so many videos referencing Owen Gray and small hands and we just don't get it still.

1. What is the significance of the alphabet tattoo? It seems like some people think it's hot??
2. What the heck is with the fixation on small hands?

I noticed that this question was last asked two months ago on this sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1b1s4iz/whats_up_with_the_wilbur_soot_allegations/.

Has anything significant happened regarding the allegations since then? Has there been any progress? Has anyone from the band addressed the issue?"

Here is the thread as a resource

I haven't been keeping up with the NBA for a couple decades now but what is going on with Embiid? I tried Googling and saw some news headlines that said he was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy and others that say he played really well in a game. I also heard about flagrant fouls or something? What's the connection?

I get the basics, it’s a game that sold pre-orders on sex appeal and toned it down for launch. But is there any merit to the “release the uncensored version” type of comments? Does that even really exist/did it ever? How could any adult gamer truly think Sony (or Microsoft or Apple) would allow uncensored adult content for this? Also tf the game even about, everything is just about the horniness of it now, what’s gameplay supposed to be?

Is Project 2025 a legitimate plan to reduce the size of government or is it a threat to democracy? Project 2025, for those who haven't heard of it, is a conservative plan that seeks to reduce the size of the federal government. However, from what I've read, it seems that for every department or government position that it seeks to eliminate, there will be a replacement. Some parts of the plan would require additional government positions to enforce the plan. Also, some actions (such as those on abortion) are not aligned with many people's view on either side of the aisle.

Saw a couple TikToks with video of the Falcons owner appearing to have a serious conversation after the manager drafter Micahel Penix for QB. Many comments talked about how it was a horrible decision, joking about the manager getting replaced and overall confused or suprised reactions. I don't follow the draft at all or know anything about the Falcons or Penix, so why these reactions?

As far as I can gather, right now due to the state of the game he refused to level up to make him the first level 300 in the game.

I played Escape from Tarkov years ago and quit but now it is showing up everywhere on my feed. Something about new pay to win? Even though the premium edition of the games was already $120+ USD. From what I read they are adding a new addition that breaks some laws or something. The subreddit:

So, lately I have been coming across the same opinions, echoing how cats are pests for the enviroment, actually murder machines and should never be let out of a house or just people wishing general harm on the species. Example comment section: https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/2MO3hwJ5nU

Where does this sentiment comes from, all of a sudden? Why now, did something happen or a famous person said something somewhere?

Edit for future readers: so basically what I'm getting is that the common house cats allegedly cause enviromental harm in areas they were not originally native in. Which includes at least areas in the US, hence the uptick in sentiment.

Please be aware that the question had nothing to do with the factuality of these statements, only the small segment of reddit where I have seen this attitude.

Has the kremlin squashed any more news from getting out?

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/03/25/europe/ russia-moscow-concert-attack-suspects-court-intl Has anyone heard anything else about this? I can't find anything that isn't from a month back? I'm assuming the four men are dead?

i keep seeing the same screenshots on tik tok/twt of a girl (presumably a kpop idol) at a conference (? meet and greet, q&a idk) but theres never any real explanation in the comments just brain rot and "omg the *insert kpop group* groupchat must be blowing up right now"

If you look at the comments section of this video, you will see a lot of people praising Vladimir Putin of Russia. A lot of people are saying that they have growing respect for him, and that Zelensky is somehow some greedy, evil villain in this situation.

I find it quite ironic that this praise of Putin is coming from the right-wing, considering that Putin is a dictator who is anti-free speech to the point of jailing and murdering his critics, and was literally a Communist at one point. Doesn't he stand against everything that the right loves?

I'd love to see why right-wing Westerners love him so much. Thanks.

It seems like every week on /r/movies there's a new thread about how an old classic is returning to the theater. I'm all for seeing old movies in theater again, but this seems like a trend. What's going on with that?

For example: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/lord-of-the-rings-trilogy-theaters-2024-tickets-1235881269/

Does anybody know what happened to this sub? It has 3M members but only 3 posts in the past month. It used to practically fill my feed and now it's like a ghost town.
