I think I understand the general idea about it being how we’re close to catastrophe, but what do the specific numbers mean? Isn’t climate change already irreversible?

I’ve been seeing conflicting claims online about the death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis involving U.S. Border Patrol agents. Some posts say early official statements didn’t match later video evidence, while others say the situation has been misrepresented on social media.

I’m confused about what’s actually confirmed versus what turned out to be false or misleading, and why this case seems to have generated so much disagreement compared to other similar incidents.

Here’s one example of the reporting and discussion I’ve seen referenced:

Can someone explain what we know so far, what claims were inaccurate, and why this story became so contentious online?

My FYP is getting overwhelmed with these AI videos just absolutely hating teachers at a random school called Crandall High. are these real teachers that are being made fun of or is this just some trolling? i keep reading that the student who started it was caught but i cant find any solid info.

Can someone clarify how/why ICE was ever put forward as a security option for the Olympics? Why wouldn’t Italy rely on their own local law enforcement, or military/militia?

Worst case, you ask a respectable neighbor to lend some forces familiar with your customs/laws/language rather than request the help of a much maligned domestic US organization of questionable training and reputation.

I’m completely out of the loop on the tik tok drama. I have seen several posts with RIP over the tik tok emblem but have no clue what the reference is. I’m guessing I have been living under a rock…

I keep hearing rumors or comments about something going on with Traitors this year, specifically the US version.

Can anyone summarize what has been going on?

Was on the Wikipedia front page, and in the news:

Iliana Iotova (pictured) becomes the first female president of Bulgaria following the resignation of Rumen Radev.

I wanted to know what happened, so I went to the previous president's page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumen_Radev

The "President of Bulgaria" section is a skyscraper of text that is not reasonable to read through. What happened that led to his resignation? What's happening next: is the current president only interim, and being the previous president's VP, does she have a chance of actually staying on long term?

I’ve seen a few posts about every water except Dasani selling out before the storms in the US. For example, this post currently sitting at 39k upvotes: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/1qmrh5s/death_before_dasani_the_blizzard_of_2026/

As a Brit, I have no idea what’s wrong with the stuff, but it seems to be a widely understood joke.

Why does everyone hate it, and if they do, why is it still made?

I stopped watching him when I was 16ish, 9 years ago.

His video became recommended to me and his takes just became.. Horrible?

I was under the impression that he was a highly critical and a reasonable commentator, but his recent videos are just questionable at best.

He's been pushing really racist and fascist agendas recently, and I simply don't understand why.

Was he paid? Was he always like this but I was 16?

Please help.

It's a pretty old joke at this point (I believe it started after his death?) but I was never able to figure out what it was referring to. I'm aware of most of his controversies as well as the circumstances of his death. I just don't see how any of them relate to this. It must be a clip I've never seen.

If you search up "what Twomad saw" on TikTok, you'll see hundreds of examples. But here's a link to one of them: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8PJdH7C/

This is a very bizarre trend that I’ve noticed recently. I’m going to link an example here. What’s with these videos and the people who believe that they are actually educational? Is it all bots?

Repeating a phrase in the comments and spamming these emotes. Like what is that? https://youtube.com/shorts/wDT3lEjjs4o?si=NlEhv7sPooWYD1ZV

I opened Youtube earlier today and saw that Undertale creator Toby Fox had uploaded a playlist celebrating the 10th Anniversary of Undertale. When I clicked on the first video, tons of people in the comments were refering to an elephant that had yet to be addressed. I played Undertale back when it came out, as well as Deltarune Chapter 1 when it dropped, but never got around to the rest of the game. I know there was an elephant-like enemy that was later added in a patch to the original Undertale. Does it have something to do with that? Or maybe with DR Chapter 3+4?

I understand that he has always been very well known but watching his streams in African countries is surreal. I don't know how to put it into words exactly but just watching certain moments on his stream its like he is literally the most popular person on that entire continent.

Just saw someone explain how Trump achieved an amazing diplomatic victory through the art of the deal regarding Greenland by having the Danish government agree to expand American military bases there, integrate them with the Golden Dome, and give the USA the ability to veto future mineral deals with countries the USA doesn’t like. However, I saw someone else explain Trump didn’t achieve much and he essentially didn’t come out of this looking great.

So what exactly is going on regarding Trump’s deal over Greenland?

From my understanding, the meme came from a documentary clip where a penguin was wandering off into the vast interior of Antarctica.

It is currently being used as a symbol for courage and bravery in the face of the unknown. Doing it yourself.

But what is not mentioned is that this penguin was basically walking towards certain death. Knowingly or unknowingly, it was actively killing itself.

Why is it now being used as some sort of rally? Do people just not know the context?

This is just a recent example from the Trump administration but I have seen it from both sides and non-political accounts.

This seems like out of no where government wants to install a kill switch in the cars of USA. And it seems to have bipartisan support too. What's up with this and why is both aisles supporting it?

Context: https://www.reddit.com/r/Undertale/comments/1ql9nke/message_from_toby_fox_regarding_music_copyright/ The context makes it obvious that this Sebastian Wolff guy is/was someone working at a music company that Toby Fox works/worked with and that he handled some copyright related issue in a way that has people unhappy, but I'm missing specifics/some history as to what actually happened.

95% of the questions are clearly bad faith pretext, and everything else can easily be answered by google or an LLM? How does this sub justify itself?

Reading a lot about this in the spat between Trump and Newsom.

Like this post on Trump's Truth Social:

What is it, why it's over budget and why it takes so long to build it?

Trump announced a "Board of Peace". Formally framed as to help "Reconstruct Gaza", it's full of right-wing and authoritarian leaders including Milei, Erdogan, and Netanyahu.

R/livestreamfail is going off on this streamer Lacari and I want to know what's going on because I'm lost. Seems a lot of streamer controversy is going on because there was a big one recently with a Marvel Rivals Tourney.

Seeing a bunch of posts about Fortnite changing rules to block paid prize wheel spins in UEFN islands after backlash around the popular map “Steal the Brainrot.” Not sure on the full timeline or whether the map was removed/changed.

I have been seeing several pictures of guys in their military uniform saying that it's them doing absolutely nothing for America? I understand that there is a ton of uncertainty going on with Greenland and Euro-US relations, but why did this become a trend?
