Why are all anti-forks?
With a growing trend led by young and adult workers, the anti-work movement is spreading rapidly on the Internet. R / antiwork’s motto is “Unemployment is for everyone, not just the rich,” and it is one of the fastest growing Reddit communities where over a million users post stories of how they adhere to this rule to their employers, sharing tips on how to squeeze fair deal from stingy bosses. and tend to encourage each other to demand fair pay and decent working conditions.
However, these are not all memes and online bravado. There are also quixotic campaigns to boycott McDonalds until they pay their workers $ 25 an hour, and a movement to completely abstain from Black Friday . It’s hard to say how far this movement has spread offline, but there is plenty of anecdotal evidence of spontaneous recruitment on TikTok, and pro- job finance companies are starting to notice this too: Goldman Sachs recently pointed to anti- job as evidence of potential “long-term risk.” for participation in the workforce , citing the group’s general aversion to work. (Hi Goldman Sachs: Everyone has always had a general disgust for work. They are honest enough to say it out loud.)

TikTok pranksters make fun of motorists
Speaking of dangerous trends on TikTok, a Colorado Springs woman was forced to drive her car to a car wash three times this week after a series of brutal cheese incidents . Unknown cheeses, apparently inspired by TikTok, threw chunks of American cheese into the woman’s car: “Why is there cheese in my car? What’s going on here? ”A woman asked a local reporter.
She also said that she was grateful (see?) That her car was not abandoned because it was more difficult to get off her. “Leave me a brie!” the woman did not add, “This is a nacho machine.”
Halo Infinite Multiplayer Launch
This week, Halo Infinite is played by everyone from older cats who remember the glory days of multiplayer Halo to kids experiencing it for the first time. The latest game in the series, Halo Infinite , is the franchise’s return to form. He discards some of the “innovations” of later games in favor of stripped-down action from classics like Halo 3 .

Trailer ” Spider-Man: No Home” conquered the Internet
The trailer for the new movie “Spider-Man” was released just 24 hours, and has already been watched by almost 36 million people. I would say that consumer interest is very high. Judging by the trailer, No Way Home strikes with the perfect spiderman tone of heroic action mixed with teenage energy. Plus, it’s packed full of favorite spider-verse villains. Doctor Strange, Green Goblin, Electro and Doctor Octopus are all at your fingertips. We even got a little bonus in the form of John John Jameson action for fans of the cranky old editors.
There are some intriguing hints in the trailer that someone special will break through the portal in the new movie. Maybe the heroes from the Avengers? Maybe other versions of Spider-Man? Maybe an unexpected cameo from The Thumper ? All of these questions and more will be answered when Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theaters on December 17.
