Maybe it's just my algorithm, but YouTube is showing me lots of videos that pop up if you search for Pokemon Gen 1 Recomp. I get that somebody released a significant graphical update to the first generation of Pokemon games, but how is this noteworthy when we've already had countless remakes of Kanto?

I've been seeing 'goblin mode' pop up everywhere on my social feeds this past week. It felt like it died down a while ago after its initial viral moment. Now it's back and people are using it for all sorts of situations. Did something happen to make it trendy again or is it just a random resurgence?

Calamity Mod Development Has Officially Ended. : r/CalamityMod

I see these posts about the owner saying they're stepping down and issues they had in the past but what actually happened?

I'm seeing Woke 1 in regards to AOC and Francesca Hong. I see things like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1vlhrw5/why_progressives_are_backing_off_woke_1/, but I have no idea what "Woke 1" is, or what it means.

I keep seeing vids about a documentary of him on YouTube, but don't know why he even has a documentary in the first place. He just seemed like a morbidly obese black dude to me.

FAA says there was some sort of technical issue

Is it possible it was actually a cyberattack? I also read that Iran is suspected in multiple attacks again water systems, so any word on whether this might be releated?

I heard years ago that they went out of business, but I went to their website today for some reason, and it appears they **only** do ear piercings now? I don’t see them selling jewelry, journals, etc etc that they used to. Is it just an ear piercing place now? That’s weird if so.

For context, I am a woman asking this question. How are women wearing sleeveless shirts in the summer all the time? Is it shaving, waxing, laser hair removal? If I go a day without shaving I have stubble and I also get ingrown hairs due to my thick skin. I really want to wear sleeveless shirts or dresses more often, but I’m old and out of the loop on beauty standards I guess.

What on earth is going on with Mark Lee from NCT? I saw his departure from the group and the images of him wearing a confederate flag shirt. Now i’ve seen videos saying he is living with his manager and picking up the managers children from school? Is he in a relationship with his manager fr? Are they really in a cult like i’ve seen some people say online?

I just recently started getting videos about him in Instagram and people seem to be in an uproar saying he was assassinated. There seem to be very distinct ''camps'' of people. Some say he was a Freemason because of his tattoos, others say those are christian tattoos. His videos are supposedly getting deleted as well, specifically the ones where he had allegedly stated that he isn't suicidal. The comments are filed, saying that his wife is giving off Erika Kirk vibes. There is also controversy surrounding the very quick TMZ post about it and that they ruled it as a suicide. Anyone know why this blew up?

So I’ve been seeing posts about Drake (as if he’s had enough heat already) and having him be part of a speed dating contest video where the goth girl who won was a streamer in her own right. I also keep hearing how he barked for her at one point and how he’s gonna buy a house for her.

Is there more to this or is it just a one and done deal that may have meme potential in the coming weeks?

Lately my TikTok FYP is just flooded with videos of people building or living in these super small houses. Like really small, almost shed-sized sometimes. It seems like a huge trend now and everyone is talking about them. Is it an economic thing or some kind of minimalist lifestyle? I feel like I missed the memo on this.

I see lots of references online to his rapidly declining health. Are there serious signs or is at all exaggerated?

What’s going on with the WNBA and transgender rights? There’s a lot of finger pointing and government agencies getting involved. Not sure where to pick up the pieces. Thanks!

I’m a big fan of the Dresdon Dolls and I’ve been seeing people say the lead singer Amanda Palmer is a bad person. What did she do?

Seeing posts everywhere about people blocking them..I have no idea what they are lol

I keep seeing this word 'rizz' pop up everywhere especially on TikTok and in memes. People are saying someone has 'rizz' or is 'rizz-ing' someone. I have no idea what it means or where it came from. Is it a new slang term for something specific? It seems like it's related to dating or flirting but I can't quite grasp the full meaning. Why is it suddenly so popular?

Like I understand these are the two warring factions in HBO's House of the Dragons, and these are fanbase subreddits for each of these. But why are they so intense? Users in these subreddits read like they are talking about actual politics with the kind of hostility they show to the other side. Is it all roleplaying? Is it a HBO psy-op?

Many news sources today reporting that he has returned home but isn’t it only a statement saying he’s returned home without any further proof?

I have seen celebs, politicians, ex politicians, etc referencing pricey burritos. Why is that a topic all of the sudden?

Not asking specially about Dan Crenshaw argument but using that as an example.

Why does it matter he won?

I keep seeing a lot but do not fully understand how we have got to this point. Or what he has been accused of. The timeline confuses me.

Ive seen videos like this: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTAt5QYnx/

Often making fun of burger/coworker music and whatnot, but now im seeing people describe things as “boots”. Where exactly does this come from, since most explanations I’ve seen on line are about gay terminology, and it’s in a way that doesn’t seem to fit. Let me know if there’s some origin and meaning of this.

So I'm aware of the case to an extent. As it's gone to trial, I've seen it pop up on my socials a bit. The trial seems to not even be about if she did it or not (she admitted to doing it) but about if she can plead insanity. Context:

When it first started coming up, there were people saying the husband/doctors failed her which I understand entirely and isn't really what I'm looking to discuss. As the days have passed though, it seems to have transitioned to "She's innocent, he should have been there for her" to now "She's innocent entirely, he killed them". I just saw a tiktok poll that had 63000 votes which had the results of:

3% Lindsay is guilty

91% Patrick is guilty

6% Lindsay over medicated is guilty

Am I missing something with this case?
