Adrover, now 19, has managed to grow a cantaloupe weighing a whopping 31.446 kg, beating his own record set in 2019 of a cantaloupe weighing 30.47 kg. It takes years for some to master the “green thumb” cross-breeding seeds and nurturing soil until their plants thrive under near-perfect conditions

Llorenç Soler Adrover, a teenager from Spain, has shaken the world with his weight-y achievement. Now, for context, an average cantaloupe weighs a little more than 25 kilograms, while a washing machine weighs about 30 kilograms, synonymous with an average bag of cement.

Adrover, now 19, has managed to grow a cantaloupe weighing a whopping 31.446 kg, beating his own record set in 2019 of a cantaloupe weighing 30.47 kg. It takes years for some to master the “green thumb” cross-breeding seeds and nurturing soil until their plants thrive under near-perfect conditions. Setting the image of a teenage prodigy in cultivating these edible monstrosities, Adrover has been practising this art for all his teenage years. The photo shows Llorenç proudly tending to the fruit as it grew, later posing beside not just one, but three enormous cantaloupes. Cantaloupes are known for their rich concentration of vitamin C, vitamin A and Potassium, now that’s no CAP, the bigger the better.

If you hear this peculiar buzz, beware
The drone measures only 1.3 cm, similar to a mosquito. Pic/Oddity Central
It’s as spooky as it can get. We are aware of how quite the annoyance mosquitoes can be, but picture this: A tiny blood-sucking nuisance is spying on you! Researchers at NUDT in central China’s Hunan province have developed a small, insect-like drone built for surveillance and reconnaissance tasks. The minuscule size of this drone allows the Chinese to access virtually any space, seamlessly blending into any environment known to man. Featured on CCTV7, the insect-sized drone measures just 1.3 centimetres and can be operated using a smartphone. While its size is its biggest advantage, it’s also its biggest limitation, making it more prone to damage, paired with a scarce battery life, and restricted weight added by the sensors and the camera lens.
Light up the sky!

Justin Bieber looked seemingly upset in the video that’s been circulating the internet for a few days, claiming that the paparazzi were invading his privacy, following him around and provoking him, claiming that the media was being paid to do so. On the bright side, the memes never disappoint. In the meme Bieber angrily says, “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business. I’m a real dad, a real husband, a real man.” Later uploaded on X by the user @fearedbuck, people have been quick to notice that Bieber used African American Vernacular English (AAVE) in his quote. He’s in cold, cold water now.
