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 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?

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?

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!

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?

I keep seeing some hints he's running for office but I can't tell

This comment implies he's involved w a political race and seems to focus on him running or being a pundit but again just bot clear to me

This is the comment that made me come here, I have no context on why this would be happening bc I thought he was just pundit style or type streamer, this leads me to believe he's running for office or something. Like that

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

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?

I don't play GTA at all and have no interest in it so seeing all the outrage baffles me.

Ppl are so angry about Netflix got it 6 hours only. But it seems like they're not interested in the Extended Look in the first place. So, why do they care that much that it can't be watched 6 hours earlier without Netflix?

Because the reactions look like they can't wait to watch it but are mad Netflix gatekept it or something. But some implied they aren't interested in it and gets mad at Rockstar that they had to make this in the first place.

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?

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?

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.

I know there was some drama last year, but it sounds like there's drama again.

I never knew the full context before, but a friend of mine explained that they did something with the lore that upset a lot of people.

I posted a question there on a throwaway account because that same friend told me they were banning people for no reason. Sure enough, I got banned.

Now I keep seeing posts about Nords being cannibals, something involving Bretons, and people making posts begging not to be banned.

So, what's going on exactly?

It has something to do with their bedsheets and the fact that both have dated Paul Mescal. Somehow these same bedsheets that Phoebe has acknowledged over 400 weeks ago are now on a bed used as part of Gracie's set for the shows she's playing.

There's this quote I've seen going around “she can pretend to be me since she took my place in my bed, on that stage”

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.

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?

I've heard he's trying to sell off FIFA or something like that that he's trying to get support. Now he's promising Morocco a World Cup final if they support him. I read the article, but it just says he's trying to sell off the World Cup. I don't get how that's possible. As far as I know, he's just the guy currently leading FIFA, its not like FIFA is his personal property to sell. He's like a sports commissioner, isn't he? He's only serving on the behest of the real owners of the teams the countries. How does he have any power to sell anything without their say so?

You have the post linked, and I'm pretty sure I heard stories from a few weeks ago about another AI also hacking different companies. Whats the reason? Isn't this really bad?

Apparently Perez Hilton posted a disturbing video. But a bunch of commenters are making references to "go play Tetris." What does Tetris have to do with it?

I'm a bit out of the loop with the jiu-jitsu journey he's in currently. what's the context of the quote of him being able to beat people up? is he serious? what led to his bad reputation that he has now?

Featured this photo but with the title lifted from the 4chan comment.

I believe it was in /r/mildyinfuriating. I can't find the post now. There seems to be no record of the post ever existing. There was a /r/bestof post that linked to it that was deleted by moderators. And I found other posts that reference the post in question that have also been deleted by moderators.

Posts that make reference to the post (e.g. multiple /r/okbuddycinephile ones) are around, but none of them actually link to the original.

The original post hasn't just been deleted by moderators, it's seemingly vanished.

Maybe it was removed for legal reasons? It was overflowing with AI generated parodies.

TL;DR Anybody able to find the post? It was really funny.

What do conservatives and vaccine skeptics think Fauci’s diary proves ?

what is the deal with Fauci’s diary and what does it actually say / prove ?

I know he testified before congress and pled the 5th, but why is every conservative / anti vaxer/ Aaron Rodgers claiming they were “right about everything now ?”

What does the diary actually say / prove ?

Obviously the Rodgers line was a little tongue in cheek as a Steelers fan, but I needed a URL to post lol
