01
How to win friends and influence worms.
The Falmouth Worm Charming Championships 2026 just went down, which is a totally real thing with a simple premise: To attract as many worms from a given plot of ground within the set time. The winning team drew 41 worms to the surface - their strategy? They sang to them. Houseplants everywhere are so jelly right now.
02
Coming soon: "Gearhead Barbie."
Squeezed by crazy high gas prices, a Georgia handyman took a discarded, hot pink Barbie Dream Camper, outfitted it with a two gallon, one piston engine and zips around town looking like the badass-princess-with-a-hammer that he is.
03
Teaching an old bridge new tricks.
Artist JR, the "French Banksy" created an immersive, inflatable 'cave' over Pont Neuf, Paris' oldest bridge. Opening to the public on June 6, the installation is as tall as a six-story building and features an AR experience inside because he probably needed Snap to help pay for it.
04
It's a fashion ad. And it's weird. That's it, that's the headline.
Prada collaborated with experimental Los Angeles artist Jordan Woflson on its latest campaign, featuring pouty models and celebs doing their best Zoolander 'blue steel' next to creepy, nightmarish creatures. The line between real ad and Satruday Night Live parody has never been blurrier.
05
Move over, Mothra v Godzilla: In Japan, it's all about wayward bears v robot wolves.
Facing a growing problem with bear attacks in rural Japan, more and more concerned citizens are upping their scarecrow game by installing robot wolves that feature scary red LED eyes, motion detectors, and 50 audio clips to ward off wandering bears. The robot wolves are 100% custom made and the company making them cannot keep up with demand. FYI in case the coming AI apocolaypse has you contemplating starting up a new Etsy business.
06
Speedrunning loses its religion and goes corporate.
Dear readers, you'll remember last month's issue featuring the trend of 'Scientology Speedrunning." With that now being cast as an alleged hate crime, Tik Tokkers have moved on to Ikea, where competitors speedrun through the store to complete a bingo-style game using letters from all the hard-to-pronounce Swedish furniture names. Much more innocent, still entertaining, and ultimately slightly depressing to think this is news.
