The Yangwang U9 is here, and it’s not just a self-driving supercar—it’s a superhero. This all-electric speed demon from BYD can hit 244 mph, making it China’s fastest production car. But forget speed for a second. The U9 can jump. Yes, jump.
In a video from CarNewsChina, this car hops over potholes, skips past caltrops, and finishes with a colorful leap through a rainbow of chalk powder, like it’s auditioning for a Fast & Furious/Mario Kart crossover. The secret? BYD’s DiSus-X Intelligent Body Control System, which lets the U9 dance, drive on three wheels, and perform stunts that scream, “Who needs practicality when you have flair?”
If this is the future of cars, sign us up—for the popcorn, at least.
Pack up your dances, memes, and life hacks, folks—TikTok is about to bid the United States a dramatic farewell on January 19th, unless a miracle of Supreme proportions (literally) happens. After a year of legal wrangling and political debates, the clock is ticking for America’s favorite distraction machine. This marks the culmination of a year-long battle between the U.S. government and TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, which has refused to sell the platform despite mounting pressure.
The U.S. government has long raised concerns about TikTok’s ownership, citing national security risks. After passing legislation last spring to force a sale or a shutdown, Congress and President Biden set the wheels in motion for the app’s ban. Despite TikTok’s arguments that such action violates the First Amendment—because, apparently, nothing says “free speech” like a viral dance challenge—courts have consistently ruled against the platform.
Adding a dose of irony, President-elect Donald Trump, who famously advocated banning TikTok during his first term, has now reversed his stance. Praising its ability to engage younger voters, Trump has vowed to oppose the ban. The catch? He doesn’t officially take office until January 20th, a day after the shutdown deadline. Timing, as they say, is everything.
If TikTok does go offline, it will leave a massive void. Millions of creators and users have built thriving communities on the platform, and its absence would be felt across the digital landscape. Competitors like Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts may see an influx of displaced TikTokers, but the app’s unique blend of creativity and community is hard to replicate.
For now, TikTok’s fate hangs in the balance. Whether it survives this legal drama or becomes a case study in how quickly a cultural juggernaut can fall, one thing is certain: its impact on social media and pop culture won’t be forgotten anytime soon.

Childhood ruined? Check. Summer camp destroyed? Double check. Popeye’s Revenge is here to remind us that not even spinach can save you when Popeye’s gone rogue. This isn’t the sailor you cheered for—it’s the nightmare you’ll scream about.
In this gory reimagining, Popeye isn’t fighting for Olive Oyl—he’s fighting everyone. The trailer shows the spinach-loving sailor as a cold-blooded killer, turning his legendary forearms into weapons of mass destruction. A group of counselors learns the hard way that the legend of Popeye isn’t just a story, as their summer camp dreams spiral into a blood-soaked horror movie.
Directed by William Stead and starring Steven Murphy as the most terrifying sailor alive, Popeye’s Revenge is a raunchy, gory slasher that answers the question: “What if Popeye traded his pipe for a butcher knife?”
With Popeye now officially in the public domain, the movie gives the beloved character a dark and twisted spin—because why not?
Popeye’s Revenge crashes into theaters this January 2025. Grab your popcorn and your safety goggles—because things are about to get messy.
