YouTuber conquers cheese fondue fountain in heartwarming sequel
If you don't succeed, try, try again. YouTuber Tasty Hoon recently went viral when his fried chicken and cheese mukbang went hilariously wrong. He's now tried the combination again to greater success, this time making sure his cheese fondue can actually flow through the chocolate fountain he's set up.
Tasty Hoon takes us through the entire process of making cheese fondue in his new video uploaded on Sunday, being sure to include a respectable amount of milk to keep it liquid. Putting it in the fountain still makes him visibly nervous considering what happened last time, but his apprehension instantly turns to giddy joy when he realises it's working. Read more...

The Lincoln Project is giving liberals something no else one can
The Lincoln Project occupies a strange place on the internet, one that neither liberals or conservatives could imagine existing prior to President Trump's election.
Founded by former Republican strategists who view Trump as an existential threat to American democracy, it has an obsessive focus: Vote him and his Congressional enablers out of office. The super PAC is a nimble, reliably viral force that churns out ads and social media posts against Trump and in support of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. It combines Republicans' trademark ruthless desire to win the messaging war with the eccentric humor, trolling, and blunt force of internet speech. Read more...

University apparel emblazoned with 'CUM' is a chaotic internet mystery
Delighted and embarrassed students and other internet users shared on TikTok and elsewhere that a private Lutheran school, Concordia University of Michigan, appeared to have recently debuted a rather unfortunate and/or glorious new line of athletic wear. The new line prominently featured what people assumed was the university's acronym: CUM.
T-shirts, hats, sweatshirts, all celebrated school spirit, and then some. One of the best items was a sweatshirt with a sparkly heart and the word CUM in the middle. Posts cackling and face-palming at the apparel went viral over the weekend. One TikTok got over 760,000 views. Read more...

You might be able to test out Dark Mode in the Facebook app right now
Dark mode devotees, listen up!
Facebook caught up with the times earlier in 2020 when it announced that it would begin bringing a dark mode version of the app to iPhone. And so the company started very limited tests of the new, more eyeball-friendly design in June.
Now, it is testing the feature more widely, which means you could potentially make the switch to dark mode right now, provided you're among the chosen ones.
Facebook rolled out its redesigned web interface in May, which included dark mode. However, the Facebook app didn't get the dark mode makeover at the time.
To see if you're part of the dark mode test (that is, if you're still using Facebook), update to the latest version of Facebook. Then, within the app, navigate to Settings, and then see if a "Dark Mode" option is available. Switch it on if you've got it, and voila! Read more...
