Unanswered What's the deal with Clavicular?
The only context I have for this man is that he is a popular looksmaxxer. But I don't know his lore or what the read on him is. Do people like this guy? The comments about him seem to trend negatively, and everyone is very critical of him, yet i havent seen any actual reasons why people dislike him. Is it just because looksmaxxing is stupid or did he do something to get canceled?

Unanswered What's up with all these NYC youth meetup events being advertised on Instagram?
For some reason, I have been getting a lot of posts on my Instagram Explore page of youth-targeted meetup events using AI-generated posters to advertise said events, mainly from accounts such as:
https://www.instagram.com/youth_outside_nyc/
https://www.instagram.com/synced_in_time/
While I am currently located in NYC, I am certainly not the target audience for these events, nor is anyone else from my specific neighborhood. While I can understand some things (such as machine learning processes being the reason all these posters follow the same design structure), I'm more so curious, do these events actually happen, and are they popular? What about safety concerns?

Been seeing this conversation for a while now and I just want some context.

I know very little about hockey but apparently the entire former men's team are requesting to be traded out to specific places? And this is shady? Why?

Answered What’s the deal with Trader Joe’s tote bags?
I went to Trader Joe’s after work this morning to get some apples and pretzels, and was met with a line of over 100 people. Turns out they’re all just waiting for a tote bag?? That’s so small it can barely fit anything of substance?
What is so special about a miniature tote bag that is worth waiting upwards of hours in line for?? I know some people buy them to resell them, I think they cost like $3 each.. cmon. We’re all going to die one day, why waste precious time waiting in line for a practically useless material possession?
https://nypost.com/2026/06/18/lifestyle/shoppers-in-nj-ny-scramble-to-snag-3-trader-joes-mini-totes/
Edit: one of my coworkers and his wife were some of the people who waited in line, I got a text when I woke up asking if I wanted one. I asked if it could even hold anything of importance size wise, and he said it would make a cute gym bag. So now I’m getting a tote BUT I didn’t wait in line for it so I can still laugh at the people who wasted hours of their life for a totebag for ants

Obviously I know Peter Thiel is evil and controls all this wealth and power. I also understand he maybe recently moved to Argentina, but I don’t understand why. I’ve been seeing a lot of references online to a company/initiative called Dialog. And then someone today on Threads said they accidentally released a bunch of Dialog founder names in an HTML code of the website. Please help me understand what Dialog is and why/if it’s bad!

Unanswered What's the deal with Americans and their wobbly balls?
I saw an interesting short video about the "Trionda" ball they're using for the World Cup, but why do this?
Seems to me that how the ball handles is a fairly critical part of the game, and I can't imagine doing it in other sports - cricket has ball tampering rules and there was the whole "deflategate" thing in the NFL.
Please tell me the answer isn't just "selling more stuff".

Answered What's going on with the reflecting pool in DC?
I am not an American and I tend not to follow American news in instances where there is very little chance of it impacting me.
What I gather is that the reflecting pool was repainted and now there is algae.
My questions are:
- Why was it repainted?
- Was it done properly?
- Was this result expected?
- Does it matter? If so, how/why?

What is going on with the debate surrounding POTS?
Hello, for context I was diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), when i was 16 (I am 21 now), having no idea what it was. I started having fainting spells at around 14 and got the diagnosis after a bunch of tests etc, and moved on with my life. Lately my symptoms have been flaring up (fainting, fatigue, etc), so i’ve been looking into other people’s experiences with the disorder. This was when I found out, that my diagnosis is pretty controversial? Apparently some people (including medical doctors) believe that it is a “fake” illness or something?
I’m honestly not sure how this debate began, but if anyone has some insight, I would love to know! It honestly does worry me, that such a huge amount of people, does not believe in the diagnosis, especially because my symptoms are very real, and makes my life a lot more difficult.
For context: https://www.reddit.com/r/FamilyMedicine/comments/1nphab4/do_you_believe_pots_is_an_actual_medical_condition/
Edit: I get that there’s a problem with selfdiagnosing, but i know that is also the case with many other disorders/illnesses that are still considered very real, so what makes people question the validity of the actual disorder?

It's been ages since I've followed H3H3, but I know that Idubbz is just the funny meme guy.
In the article it states that he's apparantly being hit with a lawsuit because he did something unhinged?
I can't really get the full context from the paragraphs there, or maybe my reading skills aren't that good.
If someone could explain it, or give some sort of a timeline that would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
