YouTube vs Fox

That’s how much this grandparent scam raked in from America’s elderly. Move over, Nigerian prince, there’s a new scam in town. A mix of emotional manipulation, phony grandchildren posing in urgent predicaments, and unwitting Uber drivers to collect cash has landed 13 dirtbags in jail. Good riddance. 

Set Netflix maturity ratings: On desktop, go to Manage Profiles > select their profile > Adjust Parental Controls and confirm your password. Pick a maturity rating (from All Ages to 18+) and hit Save. FYI: You can also block specific movies or series under Title Restrictions.

That’s how much Meta plans to spend on a massive new data center in Louisiana. President Trump made the announcement and showed off a picture of it, and it’s almost the size of Manhattan. The facility will apparently support Meta’s energy-hungry AI systems. So if your electric bill’s creeping up, blame Zuck’s robots.

That’s the chance aliens had of overhearing us during an Earth-Mars alignment. When Earth and Mars line up, NASA’s Deep Space Network beams so many signals at the Red Planet that an alien telescope would’ve had a 3-in-4 shot of catching us. Basically, we butt-dialed deep space and may have started an accidental group chat.

How much worse doctors get at spotting abnormalities on their own after using AI during colonoscopies. They’ve become over-reliant on the system’s little green box that flags suspicious areas, and when it’s gone, they start missing things. Think of it like GPS: Once you’ve had it, paper maps suddenly feel impossible.

What some fans drop every month just to binge 60-second soap operas. Forget Netflix and chill, it’s now “vertical drama and debt” for $20 a week. That’s more than an HBO Max + Netflix + Hulu bundle, with enough left over for popcorn. 

📚 Make Kindle page turns clearer: Ever flip a page and wonder if you went forward or back? Turn on the swipe effect, so it’s obvious. Tap on a page, select the Aa (font) icon, go to the More tab, scroll down to Page Turn Animation and toggle it on. 

That’s how long Vitomir Maričić held his breath, obliterating the world record. Fueled by 10 minutes of pure oxygen, the freediver stayed under nearly five minutes longer than the previous champ. That’s double a dolphin, close to a seal and just enough to find out who lives in a pineapple under the sea. (SpongeBob SquarePants)

That’s the daily screen-time limit Toyoake, Japan, wants for its residents. Kids would face curfews (9 p.m. for elementary, 10 p.m. for teens), but there are no fines attached. Voting happens next month. Imagine the uproar if any town tried this in the U.S.?

That’s how many people are stuck on the wait list for Raya. The dating app’s a hit with celebs and athletes, but you have to apply, and some people wait years to get in. And if you do? No screenshots, no bragging about who you’ve seen (paywall link). You might find a cougar or maybe a cheetah.
