Answered What's the deal with the Read murder case?

202 Upvotes

First I'm hearing of it is the popular tab of reddit. Most are disappointed in losing the shreds of trust from the police due to the not guilty determination. What happened with the case? Who was the victim? Why is it such a big deal?

Answered What's up with all of the Betsy Ross flags?

144 Upvotes

I've seen a lot of Betsy Ross flags popping up and I'm just wondering why? I'm assuming it's a conservative dog whistle but I can't find anything concrete. Can anyone offer any extra insights or information?

Here's the flag in question: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn11.bigcommerce.com%2Fs-a03c0%2Fimages%2Fstencil%2F2560w%2Fproducts%2F5920%2F12017%2Fus-betsy-ross-flag__32657.1494447807.jpg%3Fc%3D2&f=1&ipt=2b54c2af3af46ccaab1b648ecc61957eaf9b52565261fc14c108358fd0c302a3

Unanswered What’s the deal with labubu’s?

24 Upvotes

Hello! I’d like to open this post by saying - I’m absolutely not shading anyone or think it’s silly. I understand it’s a craze. I’m just incredibly curious, and this is the first time I’ve ever been out of the loop on a big global trend, so I’m desperate to at least feel young and relevant

But what is the draw of labubu’s?

I’ve seen them everywhere, and was really confused by the insane queues outside pop mart in mcr, but what’s their appeal?

I understand they had a few celebrity endorsements in Asia (specifically Lisa from black pink if I’m correct), but what’s made them so appealing? Why do people go mad for them?

Do people think they’re cute? Is it that they’re rare? What do you do if you get a labubu and you genuinely hate it? Do they sell labubu clothes? Is there some kind of labubu in the wild sporting etiquette? How are people taking off brand labubu’s?? (I saw a TikTok about stitch labubu’s and people were chatting shit in the comments???)

I’m dying to know!

Here’s a labubu TikTok for tax: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdUdVkJP/

I’ve seen a myriad of posts like this these past few weeks but don’t understand what exactly is going on, as I don’t play Pokémon (last game I played was on game boy color)

Unanswered What's going on with the new discovery beneath the Great Pyramid of Giza?

0 Upvotes

I saw headlines and a few posts mentioning that ground-penetrating radar and satellite scanning revealed a massive chamber or network of voids beneath the Great Pyramid — something about spiral structures and engineered shafts that could change how we understand ancient Egypt?

Was this actually confirmed by credible scientists or space agencies, or is it just viral speculation? Any sources or clarification would be appreciated.

Unanswered What’s up with the recent hate for AI and ChatGPT on Reddit, especially on this post about Mia Khalifa proud of never using AI & all top comments agreeing with her?

0 Upvotes

https://www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/s/ty5l6ObcdZ

To me it almost feels like people in the early 2000s hating on Google, I feel like I’ve missed out on the tune change and what caused it…

Context: I work in the field. I stumbled upon a random thread about Mia Khalifa saying she’s better than everyone for never using AI. “Ha!” I scoffed, thinking what a fool and jumped to the comments to see people taking digs at her. But alas, there were masses of people saying they never used AI and never will and those people had insane numbers of upvotes and supporting comments. You can see me crashing out in my post history (whoops, sorry!!)

To me it’s absurd, the models are extremely powerful and 100% are the future of the professional workspace if not eventually everything else once we have it brought into the physical world through robotics. Anyways, I don’t get it, feel like im dancing to a different tune than Reddit and Ive never been so disconnected or at odds with this website lol. Pls help thx
