A Reddit post to r/MildlyInfuriating titled "Made hundreds of wristbands for a conference that suddenly got renamed". The body of the post reads: "I run a small company, and designed and printed hundreds of high quality rubber wristbands for my cousin's Crypto conference. I had to do different colours for the different levels of entry. Out of nowhere yesterday he suddenly announced he was renaming the conference and moving it partially online. And could only afford to pay me if I produced more with the new name. Ive spent a week on this so far and was already giving him family rates." The image shows an assortment of black, white, and green wristbands with the name of the event printed on them. The name of the event was "Noncefest 2026".

Peter Simon of Ideal World selling two types of Dubai Chocolate. Both look slightly melted, with the first being pink with a green woolly interior, resembling building insulation. The second has the more traditional brown exterior, with a gooey pistachio green interior. Over the course of the video Peter tries a piece of both bars, each time reacting dramatically, having an almost pained look on his face as he struggles to maintain his composure. Despite his reactions, he claims that they're some of the best chocolate he's ever tasted.
