The movie came out yesterday, but tonight a lot of kids in the audience were quoting bits of it as if they'd seen it a hundred times. Did I miss something? It was like a hive mind in the theater, kids from across the theater were cheering at the same random parts and quoting it along with the actors. Did it leak online or something? It felt like call-and-response Rocky Horror screening stuff!

I know there were meme references and those parts I understood, but genuinely it seemed like a whole different thing tonight. It's the most fun movie experience I've had in a while, just a lot of people packing the theater, all having fun.

Maybe it is just my age group but seems like over the past month or two everybody and their cousin has incorporated "cooked" into their daily vocabulary. I understand what the term means (done for, tired, past the prime, etc.), but where did it come from and why is it so popular lately? I don't really think the word is that funny, at least in my opinion ranges from not funny to just very slightly funny depending on the context

Since I need a link to an example: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1jrk43o/its_over_the_market_is_cooked_hope_you_enjoyed/

stuff like "FACT CHECK STATUS: TRUE" and "NOTHING EVER HAPPENS" i keep seeing these and they seem to attract the most hateful people. they are usually accompanied with this illustration of a person "soyjak"?

r/NotMeantToBeFunny (https://www.reddit.com/r/NotMeantToBeFunny) has been full of nothing but Chinese users, memes, and gore featuring both adults and minors.

As the sub name suggests, this sub was originally meant for posting things that weren't meant to be funny, but were anyways. I joined the sub back when that was what it was used for. Reddit stopped putting it in my feed for a while, but now it's back and now it's nothing but Chinese users sending shitposts and gore. If you sort by 'Top posts of all time', you can see what the sub used to be used for.

What happened??

Here's the most recent example, but if you're ever on the front page I'm sure you've seen dozens and dozens more

Starting a couple months ago basically every tweet this guy ever makes is now being screenshot and posted to reddit. He's on the front page of the site every single day. But who tf is he and why should I care about his tweets? His twitter bio says he's just a software engineer, doesn't mention any positions of importance or anything like that. If you google the name, this guy has no results that would lead you to understand why he would command a following, there's no information on him at all besides the result that provides his twitter page. I get he's saying the things that makes people clap and say yay he thinks the same things I do, but so are a lot of rando twitter users, why has reddit latched on to this random person specifically and singularly? I don't understand why this specific individual is relevant at all

Considering he's a software engineer, is it possible this is a guy who has a network of bot accounts set up to promote his tweets here in some sort of play at being a grassroots pundit or something? Or does this random individual who popped up out of nowhere really have a devoted cult following? And if he does actually have a cult following where did that come from?

Not trying to be rude, I’m just genuinely confused. I’ve seen a bunch of people posting about him lately and it seems like every second day I hear or read something about him.

I gave a couple songs a listen and they’re… fine? but nothing that immediately grabbed me. Is there a backstory I’m missing or something that makes this hit harder for people?

Why is he getting so much attention all of a sudden?

I’ve noticed people, a lot lately, backing into a lined parking spot when usually people just pull straight in. The disturbing things are one, the people doing it can’t drive/ back up for shit as they take forever and are forwarding and reversing to get the car straight to fit into the spot. Stupidly, I might add, when they’re at the grocery store say, they know god damn well they're coming out with a cart full of bags that they have to load into the trunk/hatchback and now they have to maneuver behind their car and between another car or curb or wall etc. to get access to the back of the car.

Secondly, if there are spots back to back with no one parked near them, instead of pulling through the one spot and parking in the spot straight on, they still fucking back in!

Did this trend pop up on a social media trend, some influencers sight or where? I totally don’t get it.

So I watched the Netflix miniseries Adolescence recently, and in my personal opinion, I found it to be really well-done and effective. I've personally been exposed to "manosphere" discourse and a lot of incel forums so I felt like it was a pretty good look at an outsiders perspective on the matter and how it ties into the increasingly obvious negative effects social media has had on children, like come on, no 13-year old boy can handle the absolute onslaught of addictive content they end up inevitably being fed online and come out normal.

Now, recently the Labor Party has announced their endorsement of the series, and it has been very positively received by critics circles; however, the online discourse has been shockingly negative about it, and I don't really get why? I'll put a few examples below for reference and I want to hear your opinion on the matter:

• This reddit discussion argues that the show was unrealistic and will just make inceldom increase.
• A Twitter poster complaining that the show is too harsh to white boys and unrealistic.
• Another outright calling the show "blood libel"
• This Twitter post complaining about it being inaccurate on knife crime.

I've followed him for years, and his content fits right in with the "unpacking lolcows" genre on YouTube.

Lately, he's been collaborating with Frankie Fey (formerly Skumbagovitch), and the comments are flooded with outrage, alleging drama, misconduct, and shady behavior from both past and present. But no one's clearly stating what he actually did, let alone providing any proof.

The comment section has some of the angriest backlash l've seen toward a YouTuber who, as far as I know, hasn't done anything criminal.

Now FF is mass-liking comments that push back against the hate for TT. Here's the video that started the rabbit hole for me: https:// youtu.be/S6G1mlgb6g8?si=_115zPUuxdJQBiy7

I keep seeing posts about rising tension between the US and Iran. I’m not heavily knowledgeable about the military, would love to know what this means for people in the military and civilians.

Saw the YouTube Stream (https://www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMxAwtE?si=Xe0BXoVx6rIaNPc7) being shared more but don't really understand what impact this has. Are they actually stopping anything from happening? Is anyone actually forced to stay around and listen to him?

I am getting a lot of ads for playlists recently on instagram. How are they making their money and why is it suddenly so frequent?

Been hearing way too much about this and don't understand the hype. Wasn't chatgpt also previously capable of generating images? Why the hype now.

I saw an icon on the top right off my reddit app and it took me to r/Fields? It seems to be a knock off of r/place. Most of the posts are saying to bring back r/place. I never knew that r/place shut down. Can someone give me context please? Is it an April fools joke?

I'm not a big Tekken player but I follow it casually enough that seeing posts have been really weird.

There's been a few posts about Morgan Wallen on SNL this past weekend. I know he walked off stage at the close of the show but what did he do? Why don't people like him? All I really know about him is he's a country singer.

Edit: Got the answer. Thank you u/SpiritualCamera, u/Toby_O_Notoby, u/upvoter222!

All I've seen the past few months are the occasional clips of her talking about how being famous is exhausting sometimes and how she doesn't consider herself qualified to be a political leader. In the comments of these videos, she usually gets crucified. What's up with that? Is there something else about her I don't know?

I’m confused on what is vibe coding?

Is it spamming ai to fix a problem, getting errors, and then inputting it back into ai until a solution is found. Or, is it using ai to generate section of code, understanding it and then doing that over and over with minor adjustments to get a final product.

I was under the assumption as long as you know what the code does on a high level it is not vibe coding. Sometimes there might be a better solution to the code ai provides but it’s much easier/time saving to get a section of code and try to edit it to perfection.

Also if your a developer would you recommend hard coding without ai or using ai but understanding the output.

A lot of the comments are about the lawsuit against billy mitchell. What was he not honest about and what really happend?

EDIT: Answered! It’s Facebook propaganda. Thank you everyone.

My mom sent me this post on facebook, saying I should be infuriated by this? I’m confused because there’s no sources and I’m confused about the connection between social security, illegal immigration, and human trafficking, and how this exposes Joe Biden/the Democrat Party. The post:

“LAST NIGHT ELON AND DOGE STAFFER GRACIAS EXPOSED JOE BIDEN AND THE DEMOCRATS:

MUSK: "People think that Biden was asleep at the switch. They weren't asleep at the switch. It was a massive large scale program to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to change the entire voting map of the United States and disenfranchise the American people and making it a deep blue one party state from which there would be no escape."

GRACIAS: "Human Traffickers made $13-15B off of this. This is a human tragedy. We created a system that created an incentive for people to come here and get taken advantage of by these traffickers."

MUSK: "This is not made up by the right. This is absolutely true...The real reason for these attacks and the burning of the cars, is that we're going to turn off the payments to illegals...I think this is the biggest voter fraud in the history of America by far. If the machine behind the Kamala puppet had won then they would have legalized all the illegals and there would be no swing states." “

I found this article about the town hall meeting Elon Musk and DOGE employee Antonio Gracias held last night, March 30th, 2025: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/03/31/doges_antonio_gracias_social_security_fraud_illegal_votes_and_human_trafficking.html

I remember hearing about a pilot doing this a week or two ago, and now a friend of mine has had the captain reject *two* planes today while trying to fly from NYC to Columbus, OH. Is this a new thing in response to some recent events or is it something that has always happened regularly and only now just become newsworthy?

I don't know about any drama surrounding the actor, so I don't get why fans of the series are blaming him for the movie being stuck in limbo following on from Across the Spider-Verse.

We know that there have been a bunch of other issues with the film, such as the animators on Across the Spider-Verse being overworked and subject to intense crunch culture, extensive rewrites, I've even heard some people say that Beyond the Spider-Verse hasn't even been written yet and they left Across the Spider-Verse on a cliffhanger without knowing what was going to come next.

All these issues are arguably more the fault of Phil Lord and Chris Miller, so I don't get why Shameik is being treated as the sole reason for the movie being stuck in development hell, besides obvious explanations like racism or lazy and impatient people needing an easy target to focus their frustration on.

Can anyone explain what's going on to me? :O

I’ve been seeing drama because of ‘leaks’ all over X (Twitter) and can’t seem to understand the root of what’s going on. It’s information overload.
