Watch Greta Thunberg deepfake video about ‘vegan grenades’

Greta Thunberg is a Swedish environmental activist known for challenging world leaders to take immediate action for climate change mitigation.

Recently, a video of 20-year-old Thunberg speaking about war during a televised interview has circulated on social media.

The clip shows the activist suggesting the use of “sustainable tanks” and “vegan hand grenades” in order to make war more environmentally friendly:

“War is always bad, specifically for the planet. If we want to continue fighting battles, like environmentally conscious humans, we must make the change to sustainable tanks. There are so many new concepts for battery-powered fighter jets that can carry biodegradable missiles.”

Thunberg is then shown saying how people can block the road to farms and gardens so that plants do not get harmed in war-like situations and allegedly suggests:

“If you use hand grenades, please use vegan hand grenades. No animal should have to give their life for all this mayhem and chaos.”

The viral video has since been debunked and labelled as a deepfake clip, meaning that Greta Thunberg did not suggest “vegan hand grenades” or anything of the sort.

A deepfake is a video of a person in which their face or body has been digitally altered so that they appear to be someone else, this feature is typically used to spread false information.

Many Twitter accounts have shared the satire video, including a page named @WallStreetSilv.

The original video of Greta Thunberg was digitally altered

By watching closely, viewers can recognise that the audio in the clip does not match the lip movement of the Swedish activist.

Additionally, the words “Satire” can be seen written in the bottom-right corner of the video, indicating that the footage is fake.

This video has been digitally altered and Greta Thunberg’s mouth and her voice were deepfaked. You can find a clip of the original interview here:

The original video can be found on YouTube, showing Greta Thunberg speaking on British television magazine and chat show program BBC’s The One Show – about how to tackle climate anxiety.

Since many people believed Thunberg truly advocated these ideas, the Twitter platform, now X, has also added a note at the bottom of the video claiming that it had been “digitally altered”, stating that Greta Thunberg’s mouth and voice were “deepfaked.”

Funny reactions to the satire video of Greta Thunberg

A Twitter user named @MendyHowe12 jokingly asked: “Is this an AI-generated parody, or is this real? Difficult to tell as Greta is a real-life parody. And be sure you use vegan grenades.”

Another user named @thisisorlando used a meme in the comment: “With Greta in our world, the situation is under control.”

Dwayne Johnson’s wax figure reminds us of Naomi Campbell’s sculpture

American actor and film producer Dwayne Johnson has said he will contact a gallery in Paris after a wax model of him appeared to present the actor with a lighter skin tone, as per BBC reports.

Among the talk on social media surrounding The Rock’s statue, The New York Times reports that this controversy is not the first time the French museum has come under fire for its portrayal of a Black celebrity.

A W Magazine article published in 2019 reports on “The Most Cursed Celebrity Wax Figures of All Time”, including a figure representing English model Naomi Campbell.

The article includes a photograph showing a wax figure of Naomi Campbell at the Musée Grévin in Paris, France from May 22, 2005.

Naomi Campbell’s 2005 disturbing wax figure from Musee Grevin in Paris

The Musée Grévin is a wax museum located on the Grands Boulevards in the 9th arrondissement of Paris on the right bank of the Seine.

Born on 22 May 1970, supermodel Naomi Campbell is now 53 years old. However, her wax likeness in The Musée Grévin did not entirely represent her accurate age in 2005.

Campbell’s wax model disturbed many people in public with its seemingly misshapen face and body features.

In May 2021, an employee was photographed renovating the head of British model Naomi Campbell’s wax statue at the Musee Grevin Wax Museum in Paris, ahead of the museum’s reopening following the closure as part of restrictions to fight the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other Naomi Campbell wax figures are more realistic

Aside from the wax figure presented in The Musée Grévin, other wax representations of the model have proved to be somewhat more realistic.

Naomi Campbell was shown posing beside her Waxwork at Madame Tussauds in September 1996 at Madame Tussauds in London, United Kingdom.

In December 2014, a Naomi Campbell wax statue was featured during the ‘Grevin Fashion’ Waxwork Unveiling at Musee Grevin in Paris, France.

The wax model photographed during the 2014 show also appears to be much more realistic than the figure produced in 2005.

Streamer HeelMike was ‘jumped’ in viral fight video

Kick streamer Michael Peters, widely known as HeelMike, is gaining a lot of attention online after recently being embroiled in a physical fight with streamer Adrian (SweaterGXD) and his associates.

The gaming content creators have since been banned from Kick, the video live-streaming service, following their altercation that has gone viral on social media.

During HeelMike’s IRL (in real life) live stream on October 23, where he hosted a house party, the tension began when online streamer Adin Ross’ associates known as Citrus, Cuffem, and SweaterGXD confronted the host’s group.

@HeelMike shared footage of the streamed fights via Twitter, captioning his latest clip with the comment:

“One day ban on kick! Still on great terms with Kick and even though these guys crashed the party and jumped me I understand the short ban for violence. The fight did get pretty graphic.”

Prior to the recent viral video, @Heelmike asked Twitter: “Another fight, why does this keep happening? Mom, I’m sorry.”

HeelMike banned on Kick after viral fight

@HeelMike6 took to his Instagram story with a short vlog-style video to explain the consequences:

“I’m banned off of Kick for one day just because of how excessive the violence was, even though I got jumped.”

Explaining that he had just got off of a phone call with ‘Eddie’ – supposedly referring to Edward Craven, Australian entrepreneur and co-founder of the live streaming platform Kick – HeelMike explains:

“He is not mad at me at all, he understands. He is on my side, I don’t know what those guys were doing.”

The video creator finalizes his clip suggesting he is using this time to celebrate having some time off: “I’ll be back after the ban, I’m about to eat some steak and espresso martinis and celebrate my day off.”

In another Instagram story, the creator shared a photo of his celebratory steak and martini cocktail.

When a Twitter user commented on the situation by suggesting that all people involved should have been banned from Kick, @Heelmike responded:

“We all did. Time to enjoy my day off with steak and expresso martinis though.”

Streamers’ fight sparks crazy memes on Twitter

When reacting to the viral footage of the fight, viewers have created memes to share on Twitter.

Referring to HeelMike’s part in the violence, a user named @ColbyWhite23 edited a wrestling image to jokingly represent the streamers’ fight.

Another comical meme used an animated image with the streamers’ faces edited onto the image.

World’s oldest dog Bobi dies after beating century-old record

Bobi’s death was announced by American veterinarian Dr Karen Becker, who met him several times.

“Despite outliving every dog in history, his 11,478 days on earth would never be enough, for those who loved him,” she wrote on social media.

On February 1, 2022, the Guinness World Records recognized Bobi as both the world’s oldest living dog and the oldest dog ever. He beat an almost century-old record for the latter title, which was previously held by Bluey, an Australian cattle dog who was euthanized on November 14, 1939, aged 29 years and five months.

Bobi’s owner, Leonel Costa, was just eight years old when his pup was born. Costa, who lives in the rural village of Conquieros, Portugal, credited the “calm, peaceful environment” and life away from cities as the secret to Bobi’s long life.

Costa, 38, claimed that his pooch ate “what we ate” and was never leashed. His food was also soaked in water to remove seasonings.

It seems like a long life runs in the family; Bobi’s mother, Gira, died at age 18, while another of Costa’s dog, Chicote, lived to 22.

What is the life expectancy of a Portuguese Rafeiro do Alentejo?

The normal life expectancy of a Rafeiro do Alentejo is between 12 to 14 years, meaning Bobi was just five years off triple the lifespan.

His story is even more miraculous given Bobi’s intended fate at birth. The Portuguese mastiff and his three siblings were born in the Costa family outhouse. Since they already owned a large number of animals, Leonel Costa’s father decided to put them down.

Bobi, however, was disguised amongst the wood and escaped the same fate as his siblings. Leonel and his brothers decided to keep Bobi and was adopted by the family.

‘UFOs’ allegedly appeared over Fukushima nuclear disaster site in 2011

The earthquake that occurred in Japan in 2011 claimed thousands of lives and displaced many. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was among the most affected regions in the country, as the natural disaster caused the meltdown of three nuclear reactors.

Even though the toxins released from the accident forced people to evacuate their homes and businesses, the surviving residents have a whole different tale to share about what happened.

To date, several alleged witnesses have claimed that they saw spacecraft hover over the affected region following the tragedy and the supposed light that emitted from the unidentified flying objects “saved lives” by “minimizing” the impact of the radioactive energy that leaked everywhere.

A Japanese monk notes in the Netflix docuseries, Encounters: “Radioactive energy was leaking everywhere. I believe the UFOs came to readjust the flood of radioactive energy in order to save us. That’s my theory, anyway.”

‘Lights’ over Fukushima sparks ‘alien intervention’ theories

The videos on TikTok show alleged UFOs focusing beams of light over the nuclear plant, which some claim to date “neutralized” the situation.

Speaking in favor of extraterrestrial lives, the wild theory claims, that aliens intervened after the earthquake in Japan to help humans, as opposed to the popular opinion that their invasion is a threat to mankind.

But, besides the theory proposed by residents and UFO enthusiasts, there is no proof that aliens had anything to do with the condition of the nuclear plant accident site.

Furthermore, the videos on TikTok lack an original source, which makes it harder to believe the sighting it claims to show to be true.

Reports about UAPs are on the rise

Japan isn’t the only nation to be subject to rumors about extraterrestrial lives anymore. Nearly every part of the world is said to have witnessed unexplainable aerial phenomena or strange encounters that still remain a mystery.

Here we have an interesting collection of such unverified reports, wild theories, and alleged sightings supporting UFOs and aliens to help you expand your knowledge.

Over 40M viewers have been left both in shock and seemingly disgust at just how much ranch Kay can stomach in each and every bite of her sandwich on TikTok. 

Ranch was invented in the 1950s and now rules as the US’s most popular salad dressing. According to a 2017 study by the Association for Dressings and Sauces, 40% of Americans mark ranch as their favorite dressing.

More ranch than sandwich

Kay posted her ranch sandwich to TikTok on September 23rd and the video has since gone viral. She begins with two slices of bread. Normal. Then she adds her preferred amount of ranch. Not-so-normal. 

The TikToker poured a heavy amount of ranch from the bottle onto the bread, completely soaking both sides in enough to swim in. She then went in for a second layer, doubling the amount of sauce.

Regular ingredients followed including lettuce, tomato, red ionic, pickles, chips, and seven slices of ham.

The second piece of bread had to be swiftly flipped on top like a pancake, to ensure no spilled ranch, which only half worked. Kay’s ranch was left pouring out from the sides as she checked her hands to see how much was transferring. Of course, Kay made sure not to waste any and wiped the spilled ranch from the knife onto the dry side of the bread.

Struggling to bite into her sandwich, Kay’s hands were covered in the ranch sauce. In later videos, she continued to pour more ranch on the sandwich before taking bites. The sandwich literally fell apart in her hands. 

It’s not the first time she’s gone viral

Kay has become TikTok famous for her consumption of dressings and sauces, earning her over 100,000 followers. Videos range from her layering ranch on everything from pasta to noodles to chicken wings and chips. 

Just this past month, Kay went viral with over 9 million views on the amount of soy sauce she pours over her tray of dumplings. Kay used so much that the dumplings were literally floating in the case. 

People are both in awe and fear of Kay’s ranch dressing use on TikTok

With so many viewers on her posts, it’s unsurprising that Kay has received a lot of shocked comments too.

“these poor salad leaves are trying to swim out of your ranch,” wrote one user.

“On a serious note: Is everything alright?” asked another.

On May 14, the channel uploaded a video that has shocked some, while easing the shark fears of others.

According to the YouTube channel, the father and son make the videos in hopes of helping protect the animal all around the world.

The great white shark stayed swimming around humans

In the one minute-long video, the great white shark could be seen swimming along just behind a young boogie boarder, who seemed blissfully unaware of the animal tailing it. Coming extremely close, the shark changed its direction and swam the other way, aiming towards a surfer instead.

The shark came close to various other surfers, coming just inches away from them without anyone seeming to realize. Soon enough though, the great white shark found itself swimming underneath a surfer riding a wave.

In a following clip, the shark found itself swimming underneath a paddle-boarder too, with both of them getting caught in a small wave at the same time. 

People were left surprised by the great white shark drone video

With over 100,000 views, people were shocked to find out just how close the shark was able to get to people, without anyone realizing.

“This is so scary to look at,” commented one user.

“Shows how 99% of the time they want nothing to do with you. And if they do they’re either curious or it’s a mistaken identity. Most people will swim pretty close to a shark and not even know it,” added another.

One user jokes that “the sharks didn’t find anything tasty.” 

Sharks in Southern California.

GreatWhiteDronE’s YouTube channel aims to raise awareness “that sharks aren’t aggressive animals and that protecting sharks and all living things in the ocean is vital for the planet to survive,” according to its own video descriptions. 

In Southern California, sharks are a common occurrence but aren’t quite the image that Jaws might have convinced you of.

A recent report from Cal State Long Beach’s Shark Lab found that juvenile great white sharks, aged between one and five, were swimming near people around 97% of the time at two locations in San Diego County and Santa Barbara County. The research took place over two years and examined over 26 locations on the California coats.

Smelling salts have been around for a long time and have historically been used to awaken an unconscious person, but have been used in recent times by bodybuilders ahead of big lifts at the gym. Smelling salts are made of diluted ammonia, water and ethanol and offer a stimulant effect due to the ammonia. The ammonia is reported to irritate the nasal and lung membranes when sniffed, causing an inhalation reflex which makes a person involuntarily inhale and breathe faster. This sends more oxygen to the brain and increases the breathing rate, which creates adrenaline.

Kai’s dad tried the world’s strongest smelling salts

The video was posted to Kai’s TikTok account on October 10 and has since gained over 1.3 million views, with viewers massively entertained by the hilarious aftermath.

Kai tried the smelling salts first, holding his face near the top of the salts. Almost immediately, he catapulted backwards while his body dramatically shook. To bring himself back to normality, Kai had to repeatedly slap his own head, after jumping around the kitchen.

For most, that reaction would be a warning not to, but not for this date who came in for his turn next. “Don’t get too close, I’m telling you Dad,” Kai warned his father.

Kai’s dad stood around half a metre from the “world’s strongest smelling salts” and waited for a few seconds without a reaction. That’s when it hit. The father’s body flew backwards, tumbling around the kitchen and forcing himself to cling to the fridge for support while he simultaneously grabbed his chest.

“Why the f**k would anyone do that in the gym, why would anyone do that full stop?” he yelled out, as his son laughed along.

In true British mum fashion, the mum joined the shenanigans not-so-happily. She stormed in and asked the question likely in many viewers’ heads: “Are you stupid?” 

Why do people use smelling salts at the gym?

According to Men’s Health, the inhalation reflex caused by smelling salts stimulates the body’s “fight or flight” response, which causes a release of adrenaline, which in turn enhances gross motor skills (this includes lifting weights.)

The effect however doesn’t last very long and is why lifters often smell the salts almost immediately before lifting.

TikTok viewers loved the dad’s first try at smelling salts

With so many views on the clip, many were left deeply entertained by the scene and took to the comments to share their relatable experiences.

“My mate put my nose in it and I started dying on my street,” wrote one user.

“I dipped my nose deep in it and had tears in my eyes the whole workout and my face was numb,”

Another noted: “Tried those but put my nose to the bottle…indescribable.”

The dog was adopted by a Fluminense obsessive family in Brazil and it didn’t take long for her to join in on the fun. It would be hard to not be, considering she’s named after a Brazilian player.

Pretinha regularly watches and celebrates the games at home, as shown in various videos posted to her owner’s TikTok account with 500,000 followers. Her tense reaction to Fluminense FC’s last-minute goal during the September 3 match against Fortaleza is so relatable to any soccer fan that it hurts. 

Fluminense FC’s biggest fan is a dog

Diogo Barbosa scored the team’s winning goal in the 92nd minute, saving the day at the last minute. Pretinha was more relieved than her owners in a moment shared to their TikTok profile on September 5. 

Looking exactly like a human, the poodle perked up at the few almost-goals that occurred, before siking back down when they didn’t go to plan.

When they finally scored, however, Pretinha was elated, jumping up and chasing its tail in a circle endlessly. Her joy could be felt through the screen. 

The science behind the dog’s celebration

Dogs are smart and love their owners, that’s facts. According to experts, dogs are able to learn the emotions that TV shows and films give their owners and channel them themselves. 

Pretiha likely connected the act of a ball entering the goal on screen and her owners celebrating with joy. In an interview with QZ, TV sensation dog behaviorist Cesar Millan reported that if a pet sees an owner jump with joy while watching a sports game or laugh at a TV show, they’ll also channel the same energy and feel excited when they come on screen. 

“Each household has its own culture and the dog becomes part of that,” Millan told the outlet.

In an interview with Vida de Bicho, Pretinha’s owner said the poodle recognes the change in tone of the narrator’s voice, when it seems that there’s about to be a goal, and begins to watch closely to see it happen. 

Dogs are soccer lovers

A poll of 2,000 American dog owners by PetSmart found that four in five believe that their dogs are actually bigger sports fans than them.

79% said they watch sports with their pets while 83% said their dogs even have a favorite sport to watch. American football was a clear winner with 40% while soccer came second at 19%.

Sam Golbach reacts emotionally as ‘spirit’ spells out grandmother’s name

During their latest vlog, Golbach and his partner in crime Colby Brock took it upon themselves to spend a week in The Conjuring House. It’s the home of the iconic 2013 horror flick and supposed host to ‘many spirits’ and active ‘paranormal activity’.

In what has become rather standard practice on the Sam and Colby channel, the pair took it upon themselves to try and reach out to people or spirits from another realm. Armed with two members of staff from the Conjuring House who claimed to have had success with such activities in the past, Sam and Colby watched on in horror as the ouija style experiment played out in front of their eyes.

The staff, who admit they are not ‘mediums’ (meaning people who claim they can speak to dead people), were reluctant to put a label on the activity. They referred to the process simply as ‘a weird thing we do’, as they proceeded to hold one another by the wrists, repeatedly reciting the alphabet until they heard a noise from inside the house. They took it as an indication to stop and add to the word they were spelling out.

The mood of the video took a sudden turn, as it became clear that the name the supposed spirit inside the house was spelling out was Libby Golbach, who fans of the channel will know is Sam’s late grandmother. Taken aback and overwhelmed by what he was hearing and witnessing, Sam proceeded to break down in tears. The Conjuring House staff paused the experiment while the depleted YouTuber explained the emotional significance of his grandmother.

Sam and Colby recall Libby Golbach’s last words

Not only was Libby Sam’s grandmother, the YouTuber explained, but she is consistently credited with being one of the main reasons why the social media star has gotten where he is today.

“My grandma affected me a lot,” explained an emotional Sam, still reeling from the shock of the Conjuring House incident. “She taught me everything to do with appreciation and loving life.”

“Literally, her last words before she died were ‘onward and upward’, and that is a slogan that Colby and I used for the first five years of our career, because of how much that impacted us.

The 26-year-old took solace in the fact that his grandmother’s name revealed itself, in what he claimed was a sign that she is “still watching over” him.

TikTok reacts to Sam and Colby’s spooky ‘Libby’ run in

The emotional moment has quickly gone viral, racking up over 3.7 million views as it sits at the top of the Trending page on YouTube, just a day after being uploaded.

And the Sam and Colby stans over on TikTok were equal parts devastated and delighted for Sam, as they reacted to clips of his latest video.

“I cried first (because) of Sam being sad” Admitted one viewer. “But even after that I was still crying not only because Sam was sad but also because it made me think of my grandparents”.

“I started sobbing” wrote another devasted fan. “As soon as I saw Libby go I know it would say Golbach. They are so real and I cant even fathom how Sam, Colby and Zach must’ve felt”.

Promoting the video on Twitter, the YouTube duo claimed their “entire career has led to this moment”, promising that they “truly believe this video changes everything.”

‘My entitled sister demanded to have my “fat” wedding dress’ story explored

The story has surfaced on the r/Entitled People subreddit. The OP has a younger sister, Lucy, 23. The sister announced her pregnancy a couple of months ago. The family cheered, but Lucy said something utterly shocking when everyone settled down. “Lucy then stood up & made a toast to me. She said she was thankful for having a bigger in size & in heart sister like me to gift my wedding dress to her since she is getting married in November” the OP reveals.

Lucy’s comments humiliated the OP who burst into tears in front of everyone. The OP rushed to the bathroom and Lucy, as well as her step mom, followed her in there. Lucy accused the OP of ruining “the most exciting news of a lifetime” for her. The OP incredulously asked Lucy why she had assumed she would be getting the OP’s wedding dress. Lucy then reveals that she and her mom had decided that the OP’s wedding was not until March. They also said “Since I am fatter than them, I would not mind just loaning my dress,” the OP reveals.

Both the OP and her fiance are highly educated and the OP even designed her own wedding dress. Lucy and her mother allegedly hated this. Lucy threatens to not let the OP be her bridesmaid if she doesn’t give her the dress. The OP told her it was fine. Soon Lucy’s friends and family began harassing the OP to give up her dress. The harassment only stopped when Lucy’s fiancé threatened to leave her if she did not stop the drama. Things were quiet for a while after that, until the OP received another shocking threat.

Lucy threatens to abort her baby

Lucy suddenly called the OP out of nowhere one night telling her that she was going to abort her baby girl since she couldn’t fit into the dress. The OP, who does not have any children of her own, went ballistic.

“I told her that if she was aborting her baby over a dress then she did not deserve to have any children & her baby girl could be a gift from God to another person who would actually love her & not place fabric over her” the OP reveals in the story.

The OP hung up on her sister and swiftly called Lucy’s fiancé, informing her what she was about to do. He was in utter shock and went to talk to her. They got into a huge fight and he has been staying in the OP’s guest room ever since.

Reddit users weigh in

“If you give in to this OUTRAGEOUS MANIPULATIVE DEMAND, then where will this ENTITLED B**CH STOP?!?”!” one fuming Reddit user wrote.

“OP does your sister really think that she will have any need for the dress if she were to have an abortion to fit into it…. Like does she actually think her fiancé would be interested in her after such disgusting behavior?” a second person pointed out.

“Nowhere. She will never stop. She literally blackmailed her sister by blaming an abortion on her. She is sick and should never, ever be a parent,” said a third person.

Nickmerks signs $10m Kick contract

Nick took to his social media pages to post a grand video announcing his Kick Deal. The streamer and content creator is seen dressed as a Roman warrior in the video announcing that he will now be streaming on Kick.

Like xQc, who signed a $100 million contract with Kick, Nick has signed a non-exclusive contract with the platform. This means that he can still stream on Twitch but a good chunk of his content will be moving to Kick.

Talking about the deal, the 32-year-old influencer said that he will be using Kick to reach new audiences.

“Building a community is everything I’ve ever wanted to do,” he said about the deal. “By expanding on Kick.com, I’ll be able to reach new audiences and welcome even more fans into the MFAM (his gaming event). We will compete on big stages, host big events, and share new content in new ways. This is a major move for me, and I can’t wait to share this new experience with the community. It’s all for them.”

Nickmercs landed in hot water over a tweet in June 2023

In June 2023, the father of one landed in trouble after his tweet response to a viral video. Nick responded to a video showing a brawl outside a California school board meeting that held a session discussing whether or not Pride Month should be recognized in a school.

Nick wrote, “They should leave little children alone. That’s the real issue.”

Many labeled his tweet as “anti-LGBTQ.” But he addressed the controversy in his stream. Defending his statement, the star said, “It wasn’t an anti — I guess — gay tweet. That wasn’t what it was. If you think that I hate you because you’re a certain way, you couldn’t be any more wrong.”

Fans react to Nick’s $10 million Kick deal

“That video was short, sweet, and fucking COOOL!!! Let’s go !!!! Can you bring @DrDisrespect with you too!?” one fan said.

“Congrats my brother. I can’t believe the Tim, Nick, Doc streams are going to be back,” a second one said.

“Green looks good on ya bro,” said a third Twitter user.

Great Falls Montana’s houses are buried under towering tumbleweeds

If you are wondering what a tumbleweed is, it is exactly like it sounds. It’s a plant found in arid regions that breaks off during late summer and becomes a free-floating agent. The plant is also called Russian Thistle owing to its origins in Russia. Tree Hugger notes the species arrived in the US in 1873 when Russian migrants brought flax seeds to America not knowing that they were apparently contaminated with what we now call tumbleweed.

The species is now found across the United States barring the states of Alaska and Florida. Twitter began talking about tumbleweeds after Accuweather posted a video of houses in Great Falls, Montana. The video showed piles of tumbleweed deposited outside houses with some being so high that the house appeared buried in it.

The tumbleweeds gathered outside the houses after 95-mile-per-hour winds blew them into the area. The video shows dry tumbleweeds taking up the house’s front yards, back yards, and the street too.

Are tumbleweeds dangerous to humans?

Yes, tumbleweeds can be hazardous to humans. It is commonly known that tumbleweeds can be a huge fire hazard. They catch fire quickly due to their dry nature and are known to spread wildfires.

They can even cause allergic reactions. Their pointy structure can puncture the skin of both animals and humans and cause dermatitis and more skin diseases. Moreover, the blog Lawn Starter notes that research entomologist Lincoln Smith notes that “In California’s Central Valley, tumbleweeds aid several insect pests of many vegetable crops like the beet leafhopper.”

Given that they are invasive weeds they can quickly destroy the ecosystem of the area they take over. They can harm both the crops and animals in the region.

Twitter reacts to the Montana tumbleweeds video

“Reminds me of huge leaf piles I used to like to jump into as a kid,” one user said.

“This isn’t going to get better until land use practices change,” another one chimed in.

“Clear the place, that’s dangerous if it catches fire,” a third one pointed out.

“That is so crazy! Never seen that before!” said a fourth person.

Wife finds a tape exposing husband’s criminal past

The OP of the Reddit story believed she couldn’t have found a better partner and lived a great life until she found out a dark secret he had kept hidden from her.

The original poster and her husband went to the same community college and church. They graduated college and moved to a new city together. Her husband proposed to her and they got married, starting a new life that offered her everything she wished for.

She had known her husband for a long time and believed he was a good human. They were content in their marriage and with their respective lives.

One day, when the wife was cleaning the attic, she found some of her husband’s tapes from the late ’90s, and little did she know her life would be upended after playing one of them.

Reddit user considers calling the cops

The wife plays the videotape unaware of what was filmed on it. A few moments into it, she realizes the footage was from an infamous music festival from the late ’90s that holds the reputation for the disastrous occurrences in its premises.

As the tape continues to play, the OP finds her husband along with a few other people misbehaving with a girl in unimaginable ways. She says there wasn’t a hint of regret on her partner’s face when he was committing the “unforgivable crime”.

The distraught wife started finding reasons to excuse herself from her husband, unable to digest the fact that she shared her life with a “monster”.

She contemplates calling the police on her husband and producing evidence of his act but takes a step back simultaneously because she’s married to the man with whom she shares a perfect life.

The OP may be torn between having her husband arrested and saving her marriage, but fellow users are only thinking about the tape hidden in the attic.

Users think the wife should file for a divorce

A significant number of users are bothered by the fact that the husband treasured the disturbing tape as if it was his prized possession. Others think it’s high time the wife focused on her life and stayed away from him for good.

“How come nobody is talking about the tape he kept,” asked one.

Another said: “The fact that he even kept a video of it is what makes me think he’s proud of it.”

A third one wrote: “Use the tape as part of the divorce evidence.”

“Get a divorce lawyer! Turning it to the police won’t do anything since the statute of limitations is up. But get FAR FAR AWAY FROM HIM!,” another commented.

The tea alarm is completely fake. It was a hoax made up earlier in 2023 which continues to fool people online months later.

It all began when a TikTok user called @imjoshfromengland2 shared a viral video in May titled: “Let me show you the British Tea Time Alarm.”

“A lot of you know we have a thing that’s right here called a Tea Time Alarm in the UK. Basically it’s gonna go off in the next 15 seconds,” he said.

“When it goes off, every British person has to have a cup of tea or make their way to have a cup of tea. Does that make sense?”

He then waits for the alarm to go off and says “There it is” before making his way to get a cup of tea immediately.

‘Tea Time Alarm’ fools people online

The video got more than 3.3 million views at the time and is still tricking people on the internet five months on.

It appears to have caught the attention of a number of people in America this week who actually thought it was real.

One person wrote: “My UK pals… there’s a Tea Time Alarm??”

“Are people just f***ing with me or is there an actual Tea Time Alarm in Britain that goes off like 3x a day and everyone has to stop what they’re doing when it goes off and they have to drink tea?” said another.

They hilariously added: “What happens if you don’t drink tea can you get arrested or something?”

“I’m sorry… WHAT? This is like a state alarm… Like will they arrest you if you don’t make tea?” another person said on TikTok.

People in the UK think it’s hilarious

People in Britain think the whole ‘Tea Time Alarm’ prank is totally brilliant and it really plays into everyone’s sarcastic humor.

“Love how people genuinely think we have tea alarms,” someone wrote on TikTok.

Another said: “The amount of people taking this seriously is brilliant.”

Others are adding to the joke, with many telling fake stories of disasters that happened when the alarm went off.

“The Tea Time Alarm went off when I was in labor and basically had to deliver my own baby as all the midwives were busy drinking tea,” someone said.

Another joked: “My nan didn’t drink tea in time, she got arrested (life sentence).”

Killer whale dragged Dawn Brancheau by her ponytail before drowning her

Dawn Brancheau had finished training the whale and they even had a “good session” before the tragedy struck.

The trainer was known for having long hair and on the day of the incident, she fashioned it in a high ponytail. She was petting the whale on the nose when her ponytail swung in front of him, according to Chuck Tompkins, curator of zoological operations at SeaWorld Orlando.

The whale is said to have grabbed her by the hair and kept her underwater until her last breath.

The autopsy report revealed that the trainer sustained fractures to her jawbone and other parts of the body. Her spinal cord was also said to be severed during the drowning.

To make things worse, Tilikum was apparently very aggressive after the attack and the rescuers couldn’t reach Dawn immediately. They had to coax the humongous whale into another pool and lift it out of the water using a platform before freeing Dawn from its grip.

Video shows Tilikum in water with the trainer before the attack

Dawn and Tilikum had just finished a good session before the attack and their final moments together can be found in the videos of their last performance.

An extended video from the show at SeaWorld captures the whale following the trainer’s commands and receiving his treats before she entered the water to do the “relationship session.”

Dawn was reportedly lying next to the whale when he suddenly dragged her further into the water.

At first, the guests thought it was a part of their act together until they realized the whale wasn’t letting go of the trainer.

The orca had claimed more lives before

Less than half of the trainers at SeaWorld were allowed to go near the orca or train him owing to the whale’s violent past.

He weighed over 12,000 pounds and was the biggest orca in the organization.

Apparently, he and two female killer whales had pulled another trainer underwater at a park in British Columbia in 1991. Another man was found dead on Tilikum’s back in 1999 after he snuck into the whale tanks at SeaWorld. Authorities reportedly said he was bitten by the killer whale.

HomeGoods’ viral Christmas candle

It’s a simple round white candle in a flat fluted glass dish with a gold rim that will match any home interior.

On top are five green Christmas trees made of wax, complete with white patches to look like snow and red baubles.

The whole thing is designed to look like a wintery forest and has multiple wicks, but it’s definitely too beautiful to burn.

It’s the perfect minimalist Christmas decoration this holiday season, and it doesn’t cost too much either!

How much does it cost?

The beautiful candle is priced at just $9.99 and is available at HomeGoods stores across the US and Canada right now.

However, you might not find it at all locations as HomeGoods stores all hold different stock. It’s sadly not available online either.

HomeGoods is owned by TJX Companies, which also owns TJ Maxx, HomeSense, Marshalls and Sierra Trading Post.

This week, an adorable dog advent calendar for your furry friend which is on sale at Costco is also going viral.

TikTok is going gaga for the candle

People on TikTok are totally obsessed with the viral Christmas candle.

One person wrote: “I would never light it and that thing would become an heirloom.”

“I wanna get one and light it on Christmas Eve while I wrap presents,” said another.

A third person added: “Why is this so freaking cute! I need it.”

“I can’t find this anywhere and I’m so mad,” someone else wrote.

‘Haunted’ restaurant known for ‘ghosts’ captures strange sighting on camera

The Library Restaurant located in Rockingham House posted security footage on its official Facebook page to show something unexplainable.

The post suggests the restaurant is haunted because it is “well known for its ghosts and notably the ones in the Library basement.”

The restaurant claims the alarms inside the building went off when the motion detector sensed something move in the “dead of night outside the window.”

The post reads: “It is not lights from the car – because you can see how others are picked up and there is no horizontal wind blowing. So what can this be!”

The police visited the property to check what activated the alarm as it’s hard to explain the security footage.

Ghostly image spooks people out

About 18 seconds into the security footage, you can see a fast-moving mysterious white cloud fly past the camera. The video appears normal except for the brief appearance of something resembling smoke.

While some social media users find the sighting extremely creepy, a few others think it could be smoke from a vape or a cigarette that has now been confused with a ghost.

“Yeah, this is supernatural stuff,” said one user.

“The Library Restaurant is right – those are some TALL columns. Even if someone was smoking or vaping, it wouldn’t reach that height. What’s confusing is that the motion sensor INSIDE was tripped,” said another.

A third one said: “Stay out of the basement!”

Another added: “The building’s exterior should be inspected. The building settling could cause a puff of dust and a vibration causing a motion detector false alarm.”

Building is known for paranormal activities

The Library Restaurant holds a reputation for its spookiness as rumors claim it is haunted.

The co-owner of the restaurant, Adrienne Waterman, told NBC Boston: “I have myself seen things fall off shelves, everyone has seen that you can always try and rationalize that type of thing.”

Apparently, the restaurant’s basement has tunnels that lead to the ocean, which is believed to be the source of “uneasy energy”.

A few residents have backed the restaurant’s claims about paranormal activities by sharing their own experiences at the building.

“I have been to the Library many times, and I assure you, there is a female ghost in the bathroom area in the lower level,” said one resident.
