"I get paid to eat in the shower"

FRIDAY, MAY 26 2023

We made it. Not just to Friday, but to the Friday before a long weekend. *Insert angel chorus sounds*. Before we can all officially log off though, we've got some internet catching up to do. Here's what's been trending and what you shouldn't miss. Enjoy! ✨

Shower Thoughts? Shower Food.

I love weird, niche internet accounts, like this guy who has amassed a big Twitter following for posting "shower food reviews" which are...exactly what they sound like. He recently covered deep dish pizza (sounds messy — good thing you're in the shower!), boba (they forgot the big straw), and good old chocolate chip cookies. Remember that trend of people eating oranges in the shower? This kind of sounds better.

SuccTwitter Has Theories

With Succession coming to an end this weekend, the internet will be losing one of its biggest sources of conversation for the last few years. "SuccTwitter" isn't going out without a bang though, as they're sharing allll of their wildest theories for what will go down in the series finale on Sunday. Some are crazy dramatic (and unlikely) while some are incredibly accurate (at least if you're me). And some are just wholesome (*definitely* not happening, sorry!). The quote tweets are worth scrolling through while we count down to Sunday night.

Dipped And Flipped

TikTok's latest trend is all about showing you and your siblings as kids and where you are now. But some of them are a little ✨ unexpected ✨. Like one middle sister who wasn't afraid to use a little ~dark humor~ to explain her family's sitch. Or one family who all have one very specific thing in common. And this one originated the "dipped and flipped" line that now has everyone following this trend traumatized.

Chicken Tendies

This TikTok — which gained 2.1 million likes in the last few days — feels like a roller coaster while watching it. The tension builds as this guy's friends realize he's brought a to-go box of fries and chicken tenders with him on the roller coaster as it steadily climbs upward. They laugh and share a bite before: disaster strikes. I swear I could feel my stomach drop as the roller coaster did. RIP chicken tenders. And whoever got smacked in the face with them on the way down.
