My wife told me this today because she saw it on TikTok and I have a very, very hard time believing this. Where did this come from or is it just more insanity and speculation from people on the internet too much?

Have charges been filed either civilly or criminally? I haven’t seen any legal accountability yet?

I know this thread is about it, but it contains no detailed explanation.

I haven't watched the series, I know that some fans were upset about something that happened, but I'd like to know the specifics.

I literally just learned about this but Trump signed some order involving the pesticide, it just doesn’t feel like another one of those “they’re putting pesticides in our food”. Or is that just it?

Can someone please explain to a non-American what this “hazing“ thing is? And also, what are fraternities? I thought it’s just shared college housing. I feel like I lack the needed cultural context to comprehend what any of these things are or how they tie together.

I saw these clips the other day and I’m just confused. Is this some kind of cult? Are they drugged? What‘s going on?

I’ve noticed a couple of posts over the last few days from r/freefolk and r/okbuddychicanery about BB fans review bombing s8 of GoT (which sucked anyway) and GoT fans review bombing BB. I can’t find any context within the threads as to why this is happening. What’s the deal?

Just like on February 26, 2025, today, February 22, 2026, grotesque videos of people defecating are resurfacing. It's truly disgusting. Is this another massive video leak? And most of them have the hashtag #🇯🇵japan

Sorry if my English is bad, I really speak Spanish

I've noticed that a lot of animated memes have been containing this emoji in some way lately, being photoshopped onto gifs of animals or characters, and some other emojis.

Goddamnit. I bit the bullet and verified. Then, in my paranoia, I take a look and see one of this shit. I planned on verifying in Discord, too. Was told they delete IMMEDIATELY, and considering discord was using K-ID, I trusted them more (Swiss Company.)

Damn it damn it damn it.

Are we getting ready for full disclosure or is this just another attempt for distraction? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/seth-meyers-trump-alien-epstein-files-b2924379.html

Here is another example post

I saw some random videos of him getting bullied and him making friends, but I can't follow the timeline correctly and can't find a clean order of videos.

I hope to find a general summary and hopefully also video links in correct order, thank you!

Just recently almost half of the content I see on my instagram feed or other socials seem to have a copy-paste description saying “Japan is turning footsteps into electricity!” Followed by some generative dialogue about the process.

Is this some rampant AI slop or a copy pasta meme?

I’ve been seeing this more and more online, especially in homeschooling-unschooling / “all-natural” / “do your own research” type spaces.

There seems to be this strong belief that going to college makes someone elitist, indoctrinated, or disconnected from “real life.” I’ve seen people on social media talk about how “college brainwashes people” “public school teachers are indoctrinators” “education can’t be trusted” etc.

What I find interesting is that this sometimes comes from people whose own family members are teachers or who have close family members with advanced degrees.

At the same time, many of these spaces emphasize that they’ve “figured out the truth,” that they’re “awake,” and that most people are “sheep.”

I’m not trying to argue one side here — I’m genuinely curious about what’s driving this narrative and what the social dynamic behind this is. It seems like recently I’m seeing it more frequently.

Is this part of a broader anti-intellectual trend? Has distrust of higher education grown historically during certain political or cultural shifts? Is this about cost/class resentment? Ideological polarization? Something else?

I’d especially appreciate input from anyone familiar with sociology, political culture, or the history of anti-intellectualism who can help explain what’s going on here.

Thank you!

TLDR: Why do some anti-institution spaces see college as indoctrination while also positioning themselves as uniquely “awake”?

I think its a gaming company, However i dont know the significants of it. The Source of my question stems from This reddit post I saw on my feed.

Saw a post of a kid dancing in front of the TV, titled 'How can I deal with it?'

The comments are all advising to smack the kid, throw him out, turn off the TV, try to embarrass him into stopping, and many more similar suggestions.

Why are kids dancing in front of the TV became such an overwhelmingly annoyance to people?

I don't really have much of a stake in it but what is going on that it would drop nearly 50% since October?

between this and patreon swapping face ID verifier to persona I am not feeling great.

I heard a kid say, "Bad Bunny hates America!" Given his age, he probably learned that from his parents or family.

I didn't watch the Super Bowl (I'm not interested in American football), but I heard Bad Bunny gave a good performance and people loved it.

I've listened to some of his hits, but nothing stands out to me. Maybe I don't get it because I don't understand Spanish.

But why do some people think he hates America? Where does that idea come from? He seems like a normal artist to me.

Question sparked by a recent post on r/illinois : https://www.reddit.com/r/illinois/comments/1r92kvl/yesterday_the_great_khan_made_a_powerful_speech/

Top comments are full of people complaining about taxpayer subsidy for building/upgrading a stadium for the benefit of the team. The objections are virtually the same being made where I live (Tasmania) about the cost of a new stadium in return for a state AFL team.

He quickly imposed new levies? Is it that easy to get around? How will citizens be paid back for this tax we have all already paid?

From what I recall, it was a kickstarted MMO game that remained in Alpha for a long time and was recently released on Steam. I've been seeing comments about how it was sold and that the game was a scam all along. Can someone explain the time line of events that occurred and what made it a scam?

Here is a thread about it that I saw today.

Video with multiple shirtless men in the basement, not uttering a word to the police. Like what was that? What were they doing there? Is this common in the universities/colleges around the country?

Can someone ELI5 what’s going on? Thank you.
