Uh...for the record, Tony Stark is NOT a real person.
And a widow is not the same thing as a spinster.
This person was really, really confused about the meaning of the word "prequel."
This is a wild claim...and a very good comeback.
This person forgot about talking.
Maybe don't call someone a "dumb fuck" if, y'know, you're the one who's wrong.
It's one thing to confuse "there" and "their"; it's another entirely to defend it to this level.
Ditto with "to" and "too."
Similarly, confusing pepperoni and pepperoncini could be reasonable...except this person fully thought pepperoni was just called "red circles" or "hot salami."
The first person was so wrong that the other person had to bring alligators into this, like we're still in elementary school.
Two of the people here were reallyyyyyyy confused about math. Or how many pennies are in a dollar.
Hint: you're wrong.
This person was actually correct in saying this isn't 3/8 (though it's pretty darn close), but they somehow thought half an inch was smaller than 3/8 of an inch.
I'm not sure how basic this math is, considering you couldn't get it right, bud.
It's a little concerning that this note is from a teacher.
Had this person never used a charger before???
Someone explain PEMDAS to this poor fool.
I don't know where this person got their info about humans not having instincts, but I think they need to go back to school.
This is also weirdly specific and incorrect info. Where are people learning this stuff???
I should've known this reply was gonna be nonsense when the person spelled school "skl."

And this genius accepted an arcade token as legal currency.
Cheese DOES go bad, for the record.
Whoever made this "map" needs to go back to school.
As well as whoever taught this to actual students.
And every single person that didn't realize 1, 2, 3, etc. ARE, in fact, Arabic numerals.
How on earth did this person think this lane was a spot?
This Bible store really misunderstood this quote.

This person REALLY misunderstood how to use a crockpot.
I'm a little concerned for this person.
This brain fart is as embarrassing as it is hilarious.

This person probably should've pulled out a calculator.
Along with this person.
This person really, really tried to contribute.

Hello nepo babies: Here are the richest celebrity kids
It used to be enough for a child to be adorable, maybe make a red carpet appearance or two, and then fade quietly into normal life. But in today's fame-fueled economy, being born to celebrity parents doesn't just open doors-it opens vaults. Today, kids with famous last names don't wait for trust are the fund. The concept of generational wealth isn't new, but the celebrity version of it has taken on a life of its own. Kids born into fame now drive search traffic, land sponsorships, and influence global markets without ever needing a LinkedIn profile. Related: Martha Stewart aesthetic sets the tone for summer For some, simply being born is enough to launch a billion-dollar narrative. It's no longer about what they'll do one day. It's about the economic value they bring the moment they enter the world. Royal titles, superstar parents, and massive social followings mean that their net worths can skyrocket before they even learn to write their names. So who's topping the toddler rich list in 2025? A new study takes a closer look at just how financially powerful these celebrity children have become. And the findings reveal a whole new side to modern fame. According to a recent report by baby brand Posh Peanut, Princess Charlotte tops the list of the richest celebrity children with a staggering estimated net worth of $5 billion. While she's still years away from earning her own income, the combination of royal lineage and worldwide fascination with the British monarchy gives her an unparalleled economic edge. Her older brother, Prince George, isn't far behind, with an estimated net worth of $3.8 billion. And though their wealth stems largely from projected influence and inherited power, celebrity kids in the entertainment world are catching up fast. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's son, Rza Athelston Mayers, is only three years old, yet already holds an estimated net worth of $1.2 billion. Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, follows with $755 million and nearly a million monthly Google searches. Related: Here's Kim Kardashian's key to business success Even Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's children, including North, Saint, and Chicago, each sit at an estimated $525 million. In total, the top 10 list includes names like Stormi Webster, Daisy Dove Bloom, Ella Clooney, and Shiloh Jolie (who leads in online popularity with 3.2 million monthly searches). These figures aren't based on earnings or assets in the traditional sense. The research used 2025 data to estimate net worth by analyzing the public profiles of celebrity children, including their parents' wealth, projected brand value, and popularity based on monthly Google search volume. The numbers may be speculative, but they reflect a very real cultural reality: being born famous now comes with serious financial weight. Beyond the jaw-dropping numbers, the study points to a deeper societal shift: kids aren't just growing up in the being defined by it. A spokesperson for Posh Peanut summed it up bluntly: "The astronomical valuations placed on celebrity children, particularly those connected to royal or entertainment dynasties, highlight how modern celebrity culture increasingly treats children as economic assets rather than private individuals." They added, "This phenomenon raises important questions about childhood privacy and the psychological impact of extreme public scrutiny." Psychologists have long warned that growing up in the public eye can distort a child's sense of identity. Constant media attention, fan commentary, and brand pressure can affect emotional development, self-esteem, and the ability to form healthy boundaries. Even when parents have good intentions, the spotlight doesn't dim. Every outfit becomes a style moment, every appearance a headline. And when childhood is treated as content, the line between fame and personhood gets dangerously blurred. It's a high-stakes balancing act. Parents, some deliberately, some inevitably, are navigating a fine line between legacy-building and exploitation. Meanwhile, brands and media continue to feed a cycle where fame begins at birth and marketability matters more than milestones. As influencer culture grows up, quite literally, the new power players of the next generation may not need to do anything to stay relevant. Their last name, their lineage, and their online presence are already doing the work. In a world where virality matters more than credentials, the next business moguls may be barely out of diapers.

Couples tie the knot during a festival on an Amsterdam ring road
AMSTERDAM (AP) — Securing a coveted slot to exchange wedding rings on Amsterdam's usually traffic-choked ring road seemed like a good omen for Zuzanna Lisowska and Yuri Iozzelli's future life together. 'It just seemed like super fun idea,' Lisowska said. 'And, you know, statistics were on our side. There were 400 couples who wanted to do it, so we feel really lucky to have been chosen.' Friends and total strangers cheered and clapped as they told each other 'I do!' as part of a day-long festival on parts of the A10 highway that circles the Dutch capital closed to traffic for the day. 'It's a nice party we didn't have to organize,' said Iozzelli. Their only regret was not being able to bring their pet rabbit. 'It was too hot,' Lisowska said after exchanging rings with Iozzelli. The city that is known for partying said that some 600,000 people tried to get access to the ring road festival last month when more than 200,000 free tickets were made available. Curious city folk, from parents pushing strollers to students and grandparents, stopped to watch the weddings and enjoyed the one-off opportunity to see the road without the usual cacophony of cars. Among them was communications student Kyra Smit. 'It's really fun because it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing,' she said. 'It's so fun that you can say to people, wow, I'm married on the rings, so I really like this.' The day was packed with events from music performances to readings, meetups and a fun run, shortened because of the heat. Organizers even placed a temporary forest of more than 8,000 trees on the blacktop. The municipality laid on extra water taps and places where revellers could slap on sun block as temperatures soared to 30 degrees Celsius (86F) and upwards on the road surface. The city's official birthday is Oct. 27, reflecting the first time a variant of its name was used in an official document, and is staging celebratory events in the year leading up to that date. The festival on the ring road is the biggest so far and gave Amsterdam residents a new view of their ring road. 'It's quite strange because normally you drive here and now you're walking, so that's a totally different situation,' said Marjolein de Bruijne, who works close to the A10. Error!

YouTube Will Add an AI Slop Button Thanks to Google's Veo 3
I told you that AI slop was coming for your YouTube content, and did you believe me? I don't know, maybe you did, but if you didn't believe before, you certainly will now. According to YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, who gave a keynote at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity on Wednesday, YouTube is getting a new tool that generates Shorts from 'scratch.' By scratch, I mean with the help of Google's recently unveiled Veo 3 AI generator. That's right, a one-stop shop for AI slop is incoming, which should be great if you like not ever knowing what's real or fake. Mohan, like many executives in tech and otherwise, is decidedly very excited about the potential for AI to shake up the game. Here's what he said during his keynote, per the Hollywood Reporter. 'Communities will continue to surprise us with the power of their collective fandom. And cutting-edge AI technology will push the limits of human creativity. My biggest bet is that YouTube will continue to be the stage where it all happens. Where anyone with a story to share can turn their dream into a career… and anyone with a voice can bring people together and change the world.' Sure, that's one possibility, I guess. The other possibility? A new and heaping mountain of junk content that neither enriches your general selection of YouTube fodder nor protects the already embattled line between reality and fiction. I hate to be the resident slippery slope guy, but how far are we really going to take this? According to Mohan, pretty freakin' far. 'The possibilities with AI are limitless,' Mohan said during the keynote. 'A lot can change in a generation. Entertainment itself has changed more in the last two decades than any other time in history. Creators led this revolution.' people are using veo3 to bring history to life in the form of vlogs 🤣 via HistoryVisualizedbyAI on YouTube — Tanay Jaipuria (@tanayj) June 15, 2025 It's a little ironic to extol the creator-led content revolution on one hand and introduce a watershed tool that helps vacuum up all of their content and regurgitate it into AI slop on the other, but hey, who's counting? Oh, that's right, Hollywood is. As noted by the Hollywood Reporter, YouTube has already struck a deal with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA) that gives artists and athletes control over their likeness. But that's just some artists who are okay with capitulating to the apparent tsunami of video generation. Hundreds of other actors have already voiced their concerns over the potential for AI to ruin their careers and plunder their intellectual property. As a result, they've called for regulation on generative AI and its implementation. You may have gathered from the simple fact of my writing these words right now that those cries for a legal framework haven't really gone anywhere. They may never, to be honest, which brings me back to YouTube's plans for a future AI slop faucet. Here we are, on the precipice of real and fake, looking out at the horizon of God knows what, waiting for the deluge of AI slop to send us kicking and screaming into the ravine of existential AI pain. I'm not saying YouTube's generative shorts are going to be the lynchpin in that frankly depressing, slop-filled future, but there's no denying it's a nod in a sloppy direction. I guess we may as well get used to it. I mean, it can't get any worse than MrBeast, right? Right?
