After a week or two of witty banter via messaging, you finally meet up IRL with the person you’ve matched with on Tinder (or Hinge, the League, Grindr, or any of the other 10 million online dating apps). You shower, pick an outfit, and text your best bud saying you’re stoked for this date. Then, within seconds of sitting down for dinner, you can tell there’s zero chemistry. Maybe your date doesn’t look like their pictures. Maybe their monotone voice is a huge turn off. Maybe having a conversation face-to-face is like pulling teeth. Whatever the reason, you’re not into it.

The ketogenic diet has been touted as a major weight loss program, where Instagrammers have documented their keto weight loss success stories to encourage others to join in on the craze and tackle their health and fitness goals. And the pictures don’t lie—keto has changed some people's bodies in incredible ways.

On my first night in Spain—the first proper holiday I've taken as a freelancer in years—somebody lifted my iPhone from my back pocket. I found out afterwards that this area, while scenic, was known for its pickpockets. I immediately felt like a naive, oblivious tourist who had been all-too-easily grifted, and it's safe to say my night was ruined.

In February, Matthew Gruenke, a young man from Wisconsin, filmed himself eating breakfast with two friends at a Wendy's fast-food restaurant. The ten-second video is mostly unremarkable; Gruenke points his phone's camera at the food and then his two friends, both of whom are caught off-guard by his filming, before turning the camera on himself. He posted the video to his account on TikTok, the Gen Z-friendly video platform, likely expecting little of the recording. In under two weeks, the video has racked up more than one million views and 117,000 likes. It currently has more than 2,500 comments; some of the the most-upvoted comments are compliments that refer to the three friends as "kings."

If you haven't been paying attention to the stock market over the last few weeks, good on you.

But if you have been paying attention to the stock market over the last few weeks—wild slides followed by an enormous uptick and then more seemingly unflagging losses—you're probably not feeling so ... good.

If you skip an hour of sleep, you'll likely wake up feeling more groggy and crankier than usual, but what if you end up missing out on two or three hours? Or what if that single skipped hour or two turns into a regular habit, where you are losing sleep on a nightly basis?

It was nearly dark, but firefighter Paul Malenczak could still make out the wisp of smoke funneling through a window in the third story of the apartment building. Moving fast, he climbed a nearby fire escape in his coat, helmet, and breathing apparatus. He broke a window and stepped inside, right where the smoke seemed thickest.

On the first day I had an Apollo—a watch-like wearable vibration machine whose makers tout it as a stress reliever—I witnessed someone nearly lose a few of their fingers.

Back in November, Mike Gold, a powerlifter from New York, filmed himself attempting a set of squats at his gym in preparation for a meet. According to his account, he failed to correctly "screw on" one competition collar on his barbell while getting ready to squat. In turn, while walking out with the barbell resting on his shoulders, one collar soon slid off, and along with it, roughly 60kg in plates. The collar and the plates on the opposite side quickly joined the others on the floor.

Wodapalooza, the four-day Miami-based CrossFit Sanctional competition, doesn’t elect a king—you have to win the competition to get a crown, as Pat Vellner and Tia-Clair Toomey did at this years' installment of the event—but if it did, Noah Ohlsen would be the clear favorite.
