🤲 Amazon’s touchy new robot: Vulcan has a “sense of touch,” which is either a sci-fi dream or the start of our future metal overlords politely handing us our orders. Amazon swears it’s “not replacing workers,” just lifting the heavy stuff so humans can … watch? For now, it’s just in Spokane, but Germany’s next.

Ever scroll through Instagram or Facebook and wonder, Why am I still seeing goat yoga videos and political or family drama from 2009? Our social media feeds are Frankenstein monsters built from everything we’ve clicked on, liked, hovered over or even winced at for half a second.
The “BlueWhale” uses special sensors to spot underwater and surface threats, and can help clear mines. The cool bit? It’s fully autonomous and runs on batteries for weeks. Basically, a Roomba’s scarier cousin with serious military vibes.
Has already been bet on one unregulated site over who’ll become the next pope. Gambling on religious events is banned in Italy, so locals are placing $20 pizza bets instead. As for front-runners? Cardinals Parolin and Tagle. Because nothing says divine intervention like odds-making and mozzarella
It dropped out of nowhere and yeah, it looks pretty realistic. We’re talking Miami vibes, chaos everywhere and so many butts it might as well be a beach club. ICYMI: The game’s been delayed another six months to May 2026, so this trailer is Rockstar’s way of keeping the hype alive. You have to see it.
Took on the Atlanta Marathon, with some hoping to punch their ticket to Boston. But the course came up 554 feet short. Yep, someone goofed the route.

The salary offer a high school junior has already locked in for after graduation. Elijah Rios isn’t heading to college. He’s heading to the welding shop (paywall link). In a world where internships are unpaid and “entry-level” means three years of experience, Rios’ gig, $24 an hour with overtime, a 401(k) and benefits, feels like spotting a unicorn.
How long Utah’s been crowned Best State in America by U.S. News. From Footloose punch line to economic powerhouse, Utah’s glow-up is the stuff of chamber-of-commerce dreams. It’s got a booming tech sector, top-tier math scores and a 6% smoking rate; Utah is basically a straight-A student in a startup hoodie.
How much profit Berkshire Hathaway made on Apple. Berkshire’s $35B Apple buy ballooned to $173B by 2023, then, plot twist, Warren Buffett dumped 67% of it in 2024. Turns out, Tim Cook might be the most profitable “employee” Buffett ever had. Buffet even called him better for Berkshire than himself.
How much MrBeast made from YouTube revenue in the past week, according to Viewstats. He launched the app himself to track creators’ estimated earnings, views and subscribers. And yep, you can look them up, too! It also shows what’s going viral, so if you’ve got a channel, steal some inspo.
What some folks are dropping on hand-painted portraits. In an age where AI can remix your face in 0.5 seconds, more Americans are actually paying real humans to immortalize them the analog way. It’s slower, pricier and way more intimate. Also, no filters, just your raw, regal essence (and maybe your dog).
