An old man got the shock of his life last week when he went to the gym and saw Rubi Rose rehearsing for a show– which left him gawking.
The singer shared the short clip on TikTok, which shows her dancing seductively in very little clothing, and everyone is joking that they would stare too.

In the viral video, Rubi is rehearsing in a pair of very short black leather shorts, a matching crop top and knee-high heeled boots.
The I Like star is practising a routine to Asian Doll’s track Nunnadet S**t, which includes a raunchy twerk at the end.
In the mirror, you can see an older man wearing a blue shirt and shorts leaning against a treadmill gazing at her.
He watches intensely as the music star does the racy dance, while a woman next to him who looks like his wife is completely oblivious.
“He stayed and watched my whole rehearsal,” the singer revealed in the caption. The video has had more than a million views.

A third person added: “I would’ve stayed and never left.”
“He’s so real, how can you not stop and stare?” someone else added.
Another commented: “He is ALL of us.”

A new dating tactic that men are using to trick women into accepting less is making people feel ‘sick’.
Jump to…

What is the Penny Method of dating?
The Penny Method of dating involves giving a woman maximum effort at the start of the relationship and slowly decreasing it as time goes on.
However, you do it in a way that she won’t notice until eventually, she’s happy to receive the bare minimum.
After putting in a little less, you give a little more to fool the woman into thinking she’s being treated better.
For example, you start by putting in 100% before decreasing to 90%. Then, you put this up to 95% so she feels better again.
You drop this down to 85% next and back up to 90% so she feels like she’s gained, but in reality, she’s getting less effort.
TikTok user reveals dating tactic
The crazy method was shared by a TikTok user called Erika Tham who detailed a recent interaction with one of her guy friends.
He told her to imagine a girl is a piggy bank, and she explained: “In order to get her interested obviously at first you have to be feeding her hundred dollar bills.”
“But putting in hundred dollar bills is a lot of work and you don’t always want to be doing that, so eventually you reduce it to 90.”
The woman will feel the decrease in effort, but it’s only 10% so she won’t bring it up to him as she’ll seem “crazy”.
“Now here’s where it gets sick,” she continued. “The next thing you do is bring it back up to 95. Instead of feeling like they’ve lost 5, suddenly she feels like she’s gained 5.”
However, the man is still putting in 5% less effort, she added before saying the whole idea makes her “so afraid”.
“Basically you just keep repeating this cycle and weaning her off your effort until you get to the point where you’re giving her pennies and suddenly, she’s excited to receive a nickel.”
People on TikTok are using an analogy about peeling an orange to describe how we build trust with others and it’s really eye-opening.

What is the ‘Orange Peel Theory’?
The Orange Peel Theory uses an orange to represent the small favors we ask others to do as we learn to trust them.
We all ask people to do things for us in everyday life, which unknowingly helps us determine if we can ask them for bigger favors in the future.
Asking someone to peel an orange seems like a bizarre task as they may think – why can’t you just do it yourself?
However, if they peel the orange for you without question, this says a lot about their character and reveals whether we can trust them.
‘Orange Peel Theory’ takes over TikTok
It’s gone viral after a TikTok user shared a video describing the Orange Peel Theory which has had more than 1.7 million views.
“You may really enjoy eating an orange, but some people find peeling the orange to be an unpleasant task,” she said. “Maybe you get food under your nails and you don’t like that or maybe you find it difficult.”
She went on to explain the possible reactions when you ask someone to peel it for you, such as “No you can peel the orange yourself,” “Fine, you’re welcome” or “I’d be happy to peel your orange for you no problem”.
“It might not literally be about peeling the orange. More so, they’re asking you for a small favor to see your reaction, to see if later they can ask you for bigger favors. And how are you gonna make them feel when they ask you to do that for them?” the TikTok user continued.
“This is something I’ve done before and I didn’t realise why it meant so much to my heart that this person did this small favor for me. It might just be baby steps to building that trust.”
TikTok users share real-life scenarios
In the comments, people are sharing real-life scenarios where the Orange Peel Theory has come into play.
One person commented: “My husband opens drink cans for me so I don’t break a nail.”
“My big sister used to ask me to take the first bite of her apple to get it started for her,” said another.
A third person added: “Day one of moving in, my fiancé asked me one task I hate to do and I said laundry… I haven’t done laundry since.”
“It reminds me of how my mum would pack my dad’s lunch so he doesn’t forget to eat,” someone else wrote.

The moment was captured by the girl’s friend and uploaded on TikTok with the caption: “Joe Burrows who?”
She added the hilarious hashtags “#blondesdoitbetter” and “#dadoftiktok” – and people think the clip is wild.
‘Crazy’ clip takes over TikTok
One person commented: “Nahhhh this is crazy.”
“Do they know each other?” another asked.

Fears have grown among people after veterinarians asked pet owners to be cautious about a mystery illness that has been killing dogs across the US.
Jump To…

What is known about the mystery illness killing dogs
Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) noted that some of the dogs who have been affected by the illness have shown coughing, sneezing, nasal and/or eye discharge, and lethargy symptoms. Pet owners are asked to visit a veterinarian if their dog happens to show any of these symptoms.
ODA further noted that appropriate vaccines, such as influenza, Bordetella, and parainfluenza can also help in some instances.
As of now, the cases that have been reported tend to fall under one of these three categories: Chronic mild-moderate tracheobronchitis with prolonged duration, that is, 6-8 weeks or longer, chronic pneumonia that is minimally or not responsive to antibiotics, or acute pneumonia that rapidly becomes severe and shows signs in 24-36 hours.
Places where the illness has been reported
As per reports, the following are the places where dogs have been affected by the mystery illness that matches the above description:

Steps owners can take for their dogs
While there is not a lot known about the illness, there are still some generic precautions that the owners can take to ensure their furry friend is alright.
Reduce your dog’s contact with other dogs. All respiratory illnesses are communicable and it is best to maintain a safe distance to avoid infection from spreading.
Keep your dogs away from other pets that might appear sick or show any of the symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, nasal and/or eye discharge, or lethargy.
Avoid communal water bowls.
Make sure your dog is vaccinated. You can also consult your veterinarian to see if there are any other vaccines that your pet requires.
If your dog is sick, try getting a PCR test to help determine the causative (viral/bacterial) agent. This will help determine a treatment quickly.
A woman opened up on TikTok about the horrifying incident where she ended up in the hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning due to scented candles.
Scented candles have been a social media trend for years and 2023 is no different. With Christmas around the corner, some people even rush to the story to get some winter-themed candles. However, for one TikTok user, the sweet smell turned deadly as it became the reason for her to be hospitalized.
Woman recalls her deadly scented candle experience
On November 14, TikTok user Emy Moore, recalled how she nearly lost her life because of scented candles. Talking to thousands of her followers, Emy recalled that she went to bed with five of her scented candles lit.
Things started to turn uneasy when she tried to go to sleep and felt uncomfortable. Emy admitted that there was something in her saying that she needed to head out to the doctor.
At first, the TikTok star found it hard to comprehend what was going on as she noticed she was forgetting things as she spoke. Fortunately, she managed to go to the hospital and the doctors informed her that she could have been suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. The staff quickly gave Emy oxygen and within a couple of minutes, she was doing fine.
What were some of the symptoms?
Some of the symptoms that Emy experienced were dehydration, confusion, blurry and double vision, shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness, and headache.
Emy further recalled that when she reached the hospital, her blood pressure was extremely high.
While she is doing much better now, Emy was certain that she would have lost her life had she not moved out of the room and gone to the hospital.

Emy’s story came as a shock to many as they were not aware that scented candles could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, One user wrote: “This is the second carbon monoxide video I’ve seen today. Glad you are okay that’s so scary!” “New fear for a hypochondriac unlocked!! Thanks!” wrote another.
“I also had carbon monoxide poisoning and I too had that second sense that something wasn’t right. It’s crazy,” another user shared their story. “I didn’t know this could happen, thank you for spreading ur story, u probably saved my life,” read one more comment.
“I got carbon monoxide poisoning from my broken muffler in the car and it’s THE WORST FEELING EVER physically and emotionally,” wrote another. “Had no idea this could happen “silly little candles” glad you are okay,” said another.
Target’s inclusive Christmas ornaments have become the center of social media conversation after a viral tweet dubbed them “woke.”
The ornaments feature nutcrackers with Pride flags and a Black Santa in a wheelchair. They’ve become the center of online rhetoric after a popular X, formally known as Twitter, account shared photos of the Christmas ornaments inside of a Target store.
Social media users, and product reviewers alike, have been sharing different opinions about the ornaments online, while the conversation also made its way to Fox News last night.
Conversation over the ornaments was sparked when X account @endwokeness shared photos of the Target products, writing: “Target outdid itself this year for Christmas.” The photos featured nutcracker ornaments with the LGBTQ+ flag and Black Santa Clauses in wheelchairs.
It’s important to note that Target also stocks various other versions of the Nutcracker, including more traditional ones, along with a white wheelchair Santa and standing Santa clauses too.
Fox News host Jesse Watters reportedly widened the conversation offline on Thursday, telling viewers: “Gay nutcracker, complete with a rainbow hat, a trans flag – full price, $12, but right now it’s on sale for $8.”
“Target also sells Santa ornaments, but Target Santa is in a wheelchair and is Black,” he continued. ““Yes, you have Black Santa in the wheelchair— we don’t have anything against Black Santa, or disabled Santa. I think if Santa has a disability then that’s fine,” Watters added, before asking Outkick host Riley Gaines: “But why do you think Target is selling this type of merch?”
Gaines responded, as reported by Mediaite, by asking who Target is targeting with the products and adding: “I think the majority of people, parents especially, they can acknowledge that gay nutcracker, Black disabled Santa has gone way too far.”
X users weighed in on the products, many siding with their stance, dubbing Target’s Christmas ornaments “woke” in tweets. “When will companies finally start to realize it? Go woke, go broke,” wrote one user.
Support for the Christmas ornaments too
Others however have voiced support for the inclusive decorations, denouncing ‘woke’ remarks. “I don’t see the problem. If I were disabled I’d appreciate this. It’s now ‘woke’ just because you validate something that isn’t common,” reads one tweet.
“I truly don’t understand why people get upset with the diversity Target offers,” reads another tweet.
Reviews of the ornaments display similar opinions too, with one user writing that it “shows inclusivity and love for all during the holiday season,” and adding that “it’s a shame so-called Christians forget that Jesus loved everyone.”

Target pulled Pride products earlier this year
Earlier this year, Target similarly became the focus of outrage over a Pride Month range released in June. It led to products being pulled after staff faced abuse and even bomb threats.
After backlash, Target reviewed and removed various products, citing the safety of its staff as the reason. A spokesperson at the time said: “Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work. Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”

Fans think Walt Disney World Resort in Florida is shutting down but the confusion seems to have stemmed from the temporary closure of some areas of the theme park.
Walt Disney World Resort is gaining a lot of online attention across social media as a viral video shared on TikTok suggests the theme park holiday destination may be closing down, but the speculations have been debunked.
Viral TikTok has fans thinking Walt Disney World is shutting down
Walt Disney World Resort makes the perfect family holiday in Orlando, Flordia, consisting of four theme parks and two fun-filled water parks, along with countless opportunities for dining, shopping, and recreation.
Some fans seem to think that the fun holiday destination may not be open for much longer after a viral TikTok video posted by @consciousjoosee suggested that Disney World is shutting down.
The creator introduced the video by saying: “Looks like Disney World park shuts down indefinitely.”
While Disney‘s theme parks are undergoing various changes in 2023, the closure of the parks is not one of them.
Walt Disney World Resort in Florida recently announced the temporary closure of one of its water parks – Typhoon Lagoon.
Typhoon Lagoon’s last operational day was on Sunday, November 5 2023 but Walt Disney World Resort is not closing.
The TikTok video references some outdated and factually incorrect articles, with some revealing that only specific rides and areas in the resort complex are closing.
Disney World fans debunk the crazy closure rumors
The viral TikTok video shared by @consciousjoosee was posted on November 6 and has since reached over 730,000 views, more than 33,000 likes, and a comment section filled with confusion.
Many Disney fans in the comments were quick to debunk the information.
A Walt Disney World visitor named @Charlie bluntly wrote: “I’m literally in the park right now.”
Another comment by a user named @tray stated: “I’m in Orlando. Idk what park you are all talking about but it’s definitely open.”
@Nette3 revealed that only certain areas of Walt Disney World are closing: “I just googled it and it’s closing certain parts of the park.”
Walt Disney World Resort’s 2023 changes
Aside from the false speculations that Walt Disney World is closing, the Destination D23 2023 event revealed exciting changes for the theme park holiday destination.
The temporary closure of Typhoon Lagoon was recently announced, as the water park is undergoing refurbishment as of November 6, 2023. The reopening date has not been shared yet.
At the Destination D23 2023 event, it was announced that Asha from the new Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Wish” will soon be coming to EPCOT.
Destination D23 2023 also revealed that The Hatbox Ghost is coming to the Haunted Mansion attraction in Magic Kingdom Park in late November 2023 and Ahsoka will become part of the popular Star Tours attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
A new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge is coming to Adventureland at Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World and the World Celebration neighborhood in EPCOT will begin welcoming guests in December 2023.
A new nighttime spectacular at EPCOT called “Luminous The Symphony of Us” will debut on December 5, 2023.
From October 16, 2023, Walt Disney World Resort guests visiting EPCOT are able to voyage into an all-new adventure with Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana.
Destination D23 2023 also revealed that Test Track will be reimagined at EPCOT and a new show based on “Zootopia” is being created for the Tree of Life theater at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.

A wild video captured by a Florida local showed a shark being casually transported handing from the back of a truck on a freeway.
Seeing birds while driving home from work might be expected, but a shark? Not so much. One Florida resident however was left startled to see a whole shark attached to the back of a vehicle ahead while driving down the Interstate 95 in Hollywood, Florida.
The highway shark was caught on video
The Florida driver captured the strange encounter on video on Tuesday, featuring the blue shark strapped into the tailgate of a driving truck. Half of the shark however was left unable to fit and ultimately hanging off the back.
After documenting the bizarre moment, the resident sent the video to WPLG Local 10. The outlet posted the clip to its YouTube channel with over 700k subscribers.
According to Local 10, the man who took the video estimated the shark to be nine or 10 feet long. He also said he believed it could be a bull shark.

Florida’s rules on shark fishing
In Florida, shark fishing is legal, but only for certain sharks and there are limits on how many and how fishers should harvest the shark.
According to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, fishers are allowed to harvest only one shark per day. If fishing from a vessel, the limit is two sharks per vessel each day.
There’s a long list however of prohibited shark species that are not allowed to be harvested and should be released immediately back into the water. That list includes hammerhead sharks and tiger sharks.
“Prohibited shark species must remain in the water with the gills submerged when fishing from shore or from a vessel, and prohibited shark species must be released without delay when fishing from the shore. If hook removal will delay the release, cut the hook or the leader as close to the hook as possible,” reports the commission.
Even shark species that are allowed to be harvested have rules around which ones can be, with minimum size limits on various species.

Other shark videos online
Unsurprisingly, sharks often find themselves the main star of viral videos online.
Last month, drone footage of a shark coming scarily close to paddleboarders went viral on YouTube. The footage, as reported here at HITC, captured a shark swimming alongside a young boogie boarder, who was blissfully unaware of the animal behind it.
The shark in the video also came close, and even underneath, surfers riding waves in the Southern California sea.
A Reddit message showing ‘2131953663’ is appearing on the discussion platform and sparking crazy theories as users guess what the figures could mean.
The ten random digits appearing in Reddit comments are causing confusion with some people on social media thinking the numbers could be a ‘UFO scam’, while others are convinced it is a phone number and some simply think the message could be a mobile glitch.

A message with figures showing ‘2131953663’ is appearing on Reddit, the American social news aggregation, content rating, and discussion website.
A Reddit user named @JustxAxKitsune shared their confusion on the discussion platform, asking: “Someone commented it on one of my posts, but the mods removed it. What does it mean?”
Another user agreed with the Reddit question, writing: “Same. A bunch of deleted comments now just say that instead of deleted.”
The original post has now received over 60 comments with many people sharing their confusion and others guessing what the numbers could mean.
Amongst the uncertainty, one user said that the numbers could simply be a glitch in the Reddit website coding:
“My best guess is that in the Reddit code, there is a class like ‘Deleted Post’ with an attribute like ‘Replacement Text’, and someone accidentally changed the replacement text to point at an object in code that isn’t meant to be read to text directly, so it’s returning the hashcode of the object.”
Similarly, a user suggested that ‘2131953663’ is an “automated code for deleted comments.”
Another Reddit user suggested: “So probably they were trying to update that to something else and updated it to the wrong thing.”
In an attempt to fix the supposed mobile glitch issue, one person advised: “You might not see it if you’re on another platform/device.”

Some Reddit users think ‘2131953663’ could be a phone number
While some Reddit users are convinced the message could just be a mobile glitch, many people have guessed that ‘2131953663’ could be a mobile number.
A user shared their experience: “First thing I thought was a phone number. Really strange, interested to know what it means.”
Another person wrote: “Looks like a phone number in the West Hollywood, Beverly Hills area.”
One person advised others not to call the number: “Phone number, 213-195-3663, don’t call it I don’t even know where you’d be calling.”
However, a Reddit user responded that ‘2131953663’ is “not a valid phone number” since “exchanges can’t start with a 1.”
Jokingly, someone else suggested: “Text it and ask if they are still on for golf tomorrow.”

Balenciaga is the king of weird and wacky designs but this new clothing item might just be the worst one yet. I give you, the towel skirt.
The beige cotton number literally looks like you’ve popped to Walmart, picked up a towel and wrapped it around your waist – but it costs $925.

Balenciaga’s $900 Towel Skirt
Much to people’s disbelief, the item isn’t a joke. It’s a real skirt from the fashion house’s Spring 24 Collection which dropped on the website this week.
The knee-length unisex towel skirt is made of terry cotton, the description reveals. It has a regular fit with a mid-waist, two buttons inside and an adjustable belt.
Great, if you want to look like you’ve just got out the shower! Anyone who wears this seriously has no drip.
It’s complete with the Balenciaga logo embroidered tone-on-tone at the front apparently, but you can’t actually see that in the picture.
If you didn’t know otherwise, you’d literally think someone had forgotten to get dressed this morning. Balenciaga, what were you thinking?
‘They must have run out of ideas’
Pictures of the skirt have gone viral on Twitter where everyone is dumbfounded by the bizarre design.
One person wrote: “Oh they must have run out of ideas.”
“I could get the same towel at Walmart,” said another.
A third person added: “Balenciaga is just a social experiment at this point.”
“Praying for anyone who would buy this,” someone else tweeted.

‘Lemon Pie’ story takes over TikTok
The story begins with a girl breaking up with her significant other because she is “in no condition to love right now”.
“You’re perfect, it’s me,” she says. “I love you more than you could imagine, why is why I have to break up with you.”
You soon discover that her nickname is Lemon because she stole lemons from a tree and used them to make a pie.
They talk about how much they love each other and Lemon says not to contact her anymore, but the other texts again and asks why she wasn’t at school.
“Will you promise to never take me out of your heart? Will you promise when you get married, imagine me in the audience,” she replies cryptically.
“I love you. I’ll love you, forever,” Lemon adds. Then, she stops replying.

Emotional tale takes a tragic turn
A while later, the ex-partner receives a message from Lemon’s mom saying she died from coronary artery disease, leading to heart failure.
“You were the last person she texted. I thought you’d deserve to know,” she wrote. “I’ll forward you the details of the funeral.”
The following texts are heartbreaking as the lover continues texting Lemon at key milestones over the following years, saying they met someone and proposed.
Seven years later, the person is diagnosed with heart cancer and says: “Maybe our hearts are linked after all.”
Right at the end, they pick some lemons and say “very soon I will see you again” as they are given just two weeks to live.
i literally cannot stop crying over the lemon pie story on tiktok. i am sobbing profusely.
