It all began as a joke — Russian marketing expert Dmitri posted an ad on telegram offering to pay Rs 1 lakh (approximately) to whoever agreed to sell their soul and sign the contract in blood. Yes, you heard that right! No one would have imagined anyone to come forward and sign it until a 26-year-old woman named Karina expressed interest in the ad. Dmitri kept his promise and posted the receipt for the soul sale, along with a picture of the woman holding the blood-signed contract.
While Dmitri had no use for the “soul” he had just purchased, Karina went on Telegram to share that she did not care much about the “sold soul”. Instead, she immediately spent the money on a collection of Labubu dolls, and a ticket to the concert of a Russian folk singer Nadezhda Kadisheva.
The Russian Orthodox Church was definitely flabbergasted by the decision taken by Karina, expressing their concerns by stating that the woman had chosen evil. They further predicted “moral and personal decline, illness, suffering, and even death” for her.
Need toilet paper? Watch an ad first

To tackle wastage, China has been devising newer innovations when it comes to dispensing toilet paper — ranging from facial scanners connected to toilet paper dispensers to using AI dispensers that only dispense strips of paper every 10 minutes. Recently, videos on social media are featuring a technology that asks you to watch an ad when you scan the QR code on the toilet paper dispenser everytime you want a fresh strip.
While the aim to reduce waste is noble and addresses the unique problem of overuse by tourists — what if the washroom users don’t have a
phone on them or run out of battery or Internet?
Chilled means ice!

Adding to their unique-but-weird food combinations of dry yoghurt and Kit-Kat bars with ketchup, Gen Z has now started adding ice-cubes to their beer. They claim that it makes the drink “refreshing”, but millennial brewheads think that they should stick to their Coke Zeros. The trend is being openly opposed by brewheads who are asking them to just put the glass in the freezer instead of putting ice in their beer and “ruining” it.

Teenagers have now decided to break up by slow burn, which is totally foolproof due to its non-confrontational technique. For non-communicators, it might be the best news ever. As a result, they only let the problematic behaviour continue until it throws them off and disgusts them, which they claim to be the “most clean cut way of moving on”. As avoidants rejoice, anxiously attached people everywhere suffer even more with non-chalance.
Kafkaesque bunnies

“Mutated” bunnies with “black quill or toothpick-like structures” sprouting out from their faces have been spotted in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. The rabbits are infected with a disease called cottontail rabbit pallinoma. While a cure for the disease has not been found, the tumours are said to be non-infectious. Who’s got their tail now, huh?
No pretzels for SNACKS!

An American mother was left shocked when she got policed for feeding pretzels to her kids as a school snack. Teachers from the school condescendingly sent her a note, “Please make sure to only send fruits, vegetables, meat, cheese, or yoghurt for their snack.” The list of banned snacks included biscuits, popcorn, and pretzels. “Why are we policing pretzels?” she exclaimed.

Bionic and the Wires, a UK-based band formed by John Ross and Andy Kidd in 2023, has been creating tunes with various fungi. They create tunes by plugging plants and mushrooms into sensors, which turn their electric signals into musical notes. These sensors are plugged to the bionic arms of the fungi, which cause them to strike down on the instruments.
