I've noticed a surge of posts on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok saying He was right alongside clips of David Bowie, especially old interviews from the late '90s. One video in particular shows him predicting how the internet would radically change society, and people are quoting it like it's prophetic.

Here’s one example going viral right now:

Why is this trend suddenly everywhere in August 2025? Did something happen that made people reflect on his predictions?

I remember a few years ago there were a lot of names published from the flight logs of Epstein's plane, and it was kind of general knowledge that a lot of famous people and politicians have been to Epstein Island.

Now the same topic has popped up again and everyone is acting like it is the first time we are hearing about these names, I don't get it.

Some time ago I randomly subscribed to the Instagram account Unboxing Japan (that also has other social media pages like X and Threads), your typical "wacky Japan" repository of curious facts, strange places, unusual people and so on. I kind of forgot about it, then the other day it popped up again in my feed but with completely different content: the formatting and clip style is mostly the same, but now it only talks about immigrants making ruckus in Japan and asks followers to report any such cases to the authorities. There are a few posts about other Asian immigrants being praised (Nepali, Vietnamese etc.) but strangely all of the other posts are against Indonesians causing chaos and doing illegal activities. I wonder why they had to hijack a channel meant for foreigners to address those hyper-specific complaints, since I doubt these followers like me would ever care about this kind of stuff that doesn't directly affect them. (Also why only Indonesians?)

I keep seeing posts on other platforms about crazy sunscreen drama between two companies(?). Can someone give me a rundown? example

I was looking at some nation and political world building subbredits for a writing project and stumbled upon r/mhoc, but it seems to be on an "indefinite pause", but I can't find a particular reason why. Why?

I don't understand the current trend of rising English flags from lamp posts in some parts of England and why road markings are being painted red and white, or why the law is involved. I feel I'm missing something. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp89p759ppdo

This subreddit appeared on my front page and appears to be another porn subreddit, but looks like its supposed to be about a singer? Idk if I’m missing something but I tried searching and it doesn’t look like anyone has acknowledged this.

I’ve been active in r/TrumpVirus for months now. The sub sits at ~95k members, but the number hasn’t really moved despite steady posting and engagement. Compared to other political communities, the lack of growth feels unnatural.

So my question is: does Reddit ever quietly “freeze” or restrict subs that are strongly critical of Trump (or other political figures)? Or is this simply a case of the community plateauing on its own?

Would be interested to hear if others have noticed similar stagnation in politically charged subs.

Early 2000s rapper Eve has been popping up i interviews talking about her career etc on different platforms.

See example from Billboard here: https://youtu.be/3QTDMs3iAaw?si=B3RB9p05WK5Wnq7B

Did something happen? Is she releasing new music? Is she on some steaming show I'm unaware of?

Just seems out of the blue.

I kept hearing about BB & B complaining about the screwed business practices in California. How its too hard to be profitable and really grow in Cali compared to other states.

But wasn't BB & B losing traction anyways? Like aren't they slowly fading out of existence? Isnt it good for California that big box stores are limiting the amount of stores since it should increase the amount of mom and pop shops / small business in Cali?

Im not really an economics guy so Im lost.

I’m honestly stumped on this one, here is a screenshot of what I’m talking about.

What does that even mean?

It’s hard to google and seems to be a redditism. I’ve seen a couple of memes about it too.

One of my boomer family members said that Cracker Barrel has become woke so he will no longer be frequenting their restaurants. What happened? I read an article that just said the company is trying to modernize and their logo is slightly different. The logo is much more plain and no longer has a man sitting next to a barrel. How is this woke?

I was under the impression that shipping was a totally fine and acceptable way to enjoy media, but now it seems like it’s being made out that anyone who engages in shipping is automatically a pedophile or into incest- and I don’t get it. What’s wrong with drawing two characters kissing, if you think they’d make a good couple?

Even videos without sound, they try to find words for noises.

They’re often incorrect and random words are underlined for some reason.

I assume it’s some AI system, but it’s very annoying and distracting.

here’s and example

I've heard of Hollow Knight and know it's a sequel but why is there such excitement around this game?

I've seen this image/gif/video on Chinese Instagram meme pages and I think it looks very funny but. What does this mean? Afaik this is an emperor named Qin Shi Huang who founded the Qin dynasty. Why is he riding a strange looking polar bear? Are there polar bears in China?

I couldn't find any explanations or the origin of the meme in English anywhere online (also I can't access TikTok in my country) so it would be great if someone could explain this please!!

I’m American, so I don’t know much about English culture. Is this patriotism or racism?

So I recently came across a video by Asmongold, I noticed that a lot of people in the comments were talking about 'black fatigue'. and I'm not sure what it means or why it's a topic of discussion. Can someone explain the context? https://youtu.be/Nf1kkICG

Hi all,
There are viral images of deer from across the U.S. showing weird fleshy wart-like growths—some people are calling them “mutant deer.” Experts say it’s due to a harmless papillomavirus spread by insects, and that there’s no danger to humans or pets.
What’s the real story behind this? How widespread is it, and should we be worried for wildlife populations or pets?
Would love to hear more about what's causing it and how authorities are responding.

I saw a lot of comments on reddit and even on Felix’s instagram comments about the same thing. Where is this coming from?
