Literal fish are swimming inside the hood of a Chinese man’s Li Auto L9 luxury SUV in Liaoning. One may think the image is AI-generated, but several Chinese media outlets have confirmed its legitimacy. The genius behind this contraption, in an interview, said he came up with the idea when he was — surprise, surprise — on a fishing trip and forgot to bring a container for the fish. He noticed the transparent layer of plastic on his hood, as a way to store fish. The car owner has faced a lot of backlash online for reasons being the constricted area, and the potential overheating of the car hood, making it an insufferable environment for the fish. Liaoning’s traffic police have also declared such vehicles unfit for road.
Wrong grave, Capitalists

If you look closely, the insanely popular Labubu doll was found lying over Karl Marx’s grave in Highgate Cemetery. Some call it the “glorious triumph of capitalism”, paired with tweets saying “capitalism won,” critiquing the sheer irony in one frame.
It’s that gosh darn phone after all!

First, it was digital cameras; now it’s flip phones. Why is Gen Z de-screening their lives amidst a technological surge? Well, it’s more about the vibe than an actual detox. Gen Z might switch to flip phones, but you can be sure the whole Internet will hear about it. As 17-year-old American TikToker Makayla Aubrey shares, “Flip phone summer, Life will be so simple.” At the same time, the aesthetic offers a much-needed break from the constant overstimulation online. See you on the
flip side!
Does grief truly unite us?
Gen Z social media users have been no strangers to the trauma dump trends; it’s a way to cope, in fact. The trend gets its name “I grieve different” from the 2022 Kendrick Lamar song ‘United in Grief’, exploring loss and, well, grief. Gen Z has taken to the Internet (again) to share their trauma to this song, sometimes ironically. It allows them to draw from the same pain, most importantly, uniting in grief.
