People Are Hamstering in Their Cars, and Risking Their Sunroofs

1 week ago | vice.com | Ashley Fike

TikTok has birthed its fair share of bizarre trends, but the latest entry in the sexual lexicon might be the most acrobatic yet. It’s called “hamstering,” and it involves a sunroof, a penis, and a very specific mental image. The setup is simple in theory, complicated in practice: one partner climbs onto the roof of a car and inserts their genitals through the open sunroof. The other partner remains inside the car and performs oral sex from below.
Megalodon Shark’s Diet Revealed, and It’s Not What Scientists Thought

1 week ago | vice.com | Ashley Fike

For years, the megalodon has been painted as a massive predator built as one thing—an ancient shark built to take down whales. But new research shows that this prehistoric giant may have been way less picky than we thought. Despite the hype, megalodon wasn’t a specialized whale killer—it was a generalist, snacking on whatever the ocean offered.
How Long Can Human Sperm Survive? Longer Than You’d Think.

1 week ago | vice.com | Ashley Fike

Sperm have one job. But getting there—actually getting there—requires Olympic-level stamina, perfect timing, and, sometimes, a little fallopian tube nap. So, how long can sperm survive? The answer depends on where they land, how wet things are, and whether they get to take a little pit stop in the female reproductive tract. Inside the male reproductive system, they’ve got a bit of time. After being produced in the testes, sperm take a long crawl through the epididymis, a narrow, tightly coiled duct.

In a world where babies are being named Se7en Simba and Elae (pronounced L.A.), it takes a lot for a name to genuinely horrify seasoned delivery room staff. But one name recently managed to do exactly that. A Reddit user from Germany shared what labor and delivery nurses at their local hospital had unanimously dubbed the worst baby name they’d ever seen: Richie Rich Putin. Yes, that Richie Rich. And that Putin.

There are brand loyalists, and then there’s Dew—a 22-year-old Swiss content creator who got a Red Bull barcode tattooed on her body and now rings up cans of the energy drink at self-checkout using her skin. The barcode, inked in solid black and being “chomped” by a cartoon worm, was inspired by a drawing from Dew’s sister. “I was thinking about getting a barcode tattoo for some time,” she told What’s The Jam.
UK Woman Busted Smuggling 100 Pounds of Drug Made From Human Bones

Has no one watched Locked Up Abroad? Brokedown Palace? To Catch a Smuggler? The idea of sneaking drugs through Asia (or anywhere, ever) should set off every alarm bell possible. Charlotte May Lee, a 21-year-old former flight attendant from south London, was arrested in Sri Lanka earlier this month after customs officers at Colombo’s Bandaranaike Airport allegedly found over 100 pounds of a deadly street drug called kush in her luggage.
The U.S. Wants More Babies-And Thinks a ‘Motherhood Medal’ Will Help

1 week ago | vice.com | Ashley Fike

The U.S. is worried people aren’t having enough babies. One of the more baffling ideas being floated to fix that? A shiny new “National Medal of Motherhood” for women who raise big families. Is this a joke? The idea, reportedly pitched to the White House by pro-natalist couple Simone and Malcolm Collins, landed with a loud thud. In a recent Yahoo/YouGov poll, 71 percent of women said “no thanks” to the medal.
This Man Held in a Sneeze-And Blew a Hole in His Windpipe

Next time you feel a sneeze coming on, let it fly. One man in the UK didn’t—and the “achoo” literally punctured his windpipe. Now noted in BMJ Case Reports, the man, in his 30s, was driving through a hay fever attack when he tried to stifle a sneeze by pinching his nose and clamping his mouth shut. That move turned out to be a terrible idea. The sudden pressure blew a 2-by-2 millimeter hole in his trachea.
Couples Who Snuggle at Night Are Less Stressed

Turns out, a bedtime cuddle might be doing more than just helping you doze off. New research from Auburn University shows that couples who physically snuggle up at the start of the night tend to experience lower levels of stress—and feel more emotionally secure in their relationships. The study, led by psychologist Josh Novak and cognitive development researcher Kaleigh Miller, analyzed data from 143 mixed-gender, bed-sharing couples.

Facial recognition technology can supposedly detect wanted criminals and track people through crowds. But apparently, it draws the line at a full face of bold makeup. A woman flying out of Shanghai Airport was stopped at immigration after facial recognition scanners failed to recognize her through what officials described as “too much” makeup.
