A disease that looks like something right out of The Last of Us has been infecting rabbits in the US, terrifying residents. The affected animals appear to have tentacle-like growths sprouting from their bodies and faces. The black, twisted, horned growths slowly take over the rabbits’ bodies, turning them into nighmarish monsters. Anyone who has played or watched The Last of Us series would recognise them as a Codycept-type sickness.

Florida is now home to the Burmese pythons, and it’s down to vigilante hunters to take them out for a healthy reward. Due to the exotic pet trade in Florida, the area has become overrun by the invasive, massive Burmese pythons. The enormous snake has absolutely no natural predators, and it can grow up to a length of 22 feet. The average is around 16 feet. People taking them on as pets have been releasing them when they’ve become too much of a problem.

What started off as a simple desire for dip ended up with an ambulance and stitches for Carly Pearce in a whole ranch dressing debarkle. The situation started as country singer Carly Pearce tried to open up a ranch dressing. It was in a glass bottle, and as she twisted off the top, a bit chipped off. She slipped and cut her finger in the process. Posting a TikTok after the event, she explained what happened.

Sarah Michelle Gellar almost had her acting career cut short when McDonald’s sued her at only 5 years old. It is legal to mention other brands in advertising, but there are still strict rules surrounding what can and cannot be said. Burger King took a risk and explicitly mentioned their competitor, McDonald’s, in a TV advert starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. The advert was a simple one, but it led to Gellar being sued.

Devastating floods have swept across the Texas Hill Country landscape, claiming more than 130 lives. In the wake of the destruction, it appears that some amazing examples of dinosaur footprints have been uncovered. A total of 15 dinosaur footprints have been uncovered by the Texas floods. They have been left by a huge animal, and are perfectly preserved in the soft and sandy earth they were originally printed.

Whenever I go to a wedding, I get seated at the rogue table. It’s the one with the long-lost family members, the wild childhood friends, the conspiracy theorists, and the ones who were sucking on a liquor bottle even before the ceremony. I fit there, and take no offense at the wedding guests the seating charts put me with. But not everyone is as socially self-aware. Getting a wedding together is such a heinous prospect, it can sometimes break up a relationship before the knot is even tied.

I didn’t know people still had surviving Tamagotchi, let alone that they were able to have a wedding and get married. It was an early sign that I wouldn’t be a great pet owner, with the rate at which I allowed my Tamagotchi to die when I was a kid. The cheap, plastic toys from Japan took the world by storm when I was still in school. It was the early years of handheld video games, and these simple pixel pets were a revolution.

Jellyfish are the new anti-nuclear protesters, using their soft little bodies to shut down a power plant in France. It’s not the first time it’s happened, either. A nuclear power plant produces a huge amount of heat in the process of producing electricity. To maintain safe working levels, constant water flow is needed to cool the equipment. This is often taken from local water sources and filtered before being used in cooling tanks. Typically, the water used is free of too much livestock and debris.

McDonald’s is one of the most recognisable brands in the world, with the golden arches and life-shortening meals. But, they don’t all conform. In fact, one McDonald’s has gone goth and sports some very moody black arches. On the whole, McDonald’s across the world is a safe bet. Almost every single one has pretty much the same menu, with minor local variations. The Big Mac is a staple, and they typically look exactly the same.

There are a few places it’s incredibly inappropriate to bring a baby, and one of those is a concert. During his show in Mexico City, singer Maluma stopped his show to call out a mother who had brought her baby to his show. It wasn’t because the baby was disturbing anyone, but rather that the show was possibly harming the baby. The mom was quite close to the stage, and the decibels were high.
