đ¤ Whoopsie on the blockchain: Get this. Paxos, PayPalâs crypto partner, accidentally minted $300 trillion worth of PYUSD stablecoins, more than double the worldâs GDP. It was only an internal test gone sideways and got deleted 20 minutes later. No hacks. No lost funds. Just ⌠a minor blip involving more imaginary dollars than Earth can handle. Sounds like a ghost story for economists. OoOoOhâŚÂ
FDA chokes out Dechoker: A Colorado couple made $8.2 million selling âDechoker,â a plunger-for-humans they claimed was FDA-approved. Spoiler: It wasnât. The FDA told them to stop in 2023, but they kept selling on Amazon anyway. Now the feds have seized their cash. The Dechoker didnât even clear airways, just mangled tongues, and it was more of a Tom and Jerry prop than lifesaving device. If you have one, throw it away.
đ§ Your wish, its command(o): Microsoft turned your PC into an eager intern. Say âHey, Copilot,â and itâll start doing stuff. Like actual tasks: updating settings, installing apps, flipping modes. No clicks. No confirmation. The âHey, Copilotâ wakeâword feature is optâin (not on by default). To use it: Update to the latest Windows 11 > Open the Copilot app > Tap your avatar (bottom left) > Settings > Scroll down to voice mode > Toggle âListen for âHey, Copilotââ on. Voila, start bossing it around.

đ Space commune, anyone? Jeff Bezos says by 2045, millions will live in space by choice. Robots will âcommuteâ to the moon for us, handling all the dusty jobs while humans float in orbit. He swears itâs the next plow moment, not postapocalyptic sci-fi. Sam Altman agrees. Muskâs already packing. Me? Iâll be waving goodbye from Earth.Â
đˇ Full circle moment: How about good news? A shy kindergartner promised her teacher sheâd say hello again after high school. Twenty years, two degrees and two kids later, Calyssa found that teacher, thanks to a single TikTok photo. Turns out, both were student moms from UC Davis and had the same grit. Sometimes the internet actually delivers a happy ending.
