A bit of the internet:
1 Face vs 16,384 Faces | 3D animation is having a big moment on TikTok, with simple yet mesmerizing videos capturing everyone's attention. The trend, “1 Face vs 16,384 Faces ,” shows how a basic 3D object with only 1 face behaves in motion compared to a version with over 16,000 faces. The comparison is oddly satisfying, highlighting the difference in detail and smoothness, and it's even inspiring users to make their own versions of these viral animations.
TikTok Breakfast (gone too far) | TikTok users are taking classic breakfast items to the next level with trends like loaded cereal bowls and dry yogurt bowls. The loaded cereal trend resurgence was led by creator Lauren Hoffman, who was inspired by a pregnancy craving she had—topping her cereal bowl with fruits, globs of peanut butter, and crumbled brownie pieces. Meanwhile, the dry yogurt bowl trend is inspired by labneh, a Middle Eastern yogurt spread that's strained to remove excess liquid. The thick, creamy texture of dry yogurt quickly caught the attention of TikTok users, who began using paper towels and makeshift presses to replicate the texture at home. Creators took things even further, adding vibrant food coloring and toppings, transforming their breakfast creations into edible works of art.
Sometimes you just gotta emote | Creators are syncing with the chorus of Beyoncé's 16 Carriages to express their feelings, thoughts and grievances—whether it's to call out how annoying it is to eat your lunch before lunchtime or reenact an iconic Loiter Squad scene .
Lady Gaga to appear in Wednesday S2 | Lady Gaga has secured another acting gig! Back in 2022, her song Bloody Mary, which was over 10 years old, blew up and reappeared on the Billboard charts after its usage in the first season of Wednesday. It took social media by storm, becoming an inescapable viral hit across TikTok everyone could not stop dancing to. Now, in 2024 Lady Gaga has landed a role in the upcoming second season of the hit Netflix series that's dropping next year. Lady Gaga stays booked and busy!
The Golden Elf Scavenger Hunt | The World Market ‘Golden Elf Scavenger Hunt ’ is popping up all over TikTok’s FYP, and it’s got people traveling to their nearest store just to get in on the action. People are exploring the aisles, checking out products they might not have noticed otherwise, and creating content that makes others want to jump in and try it too.
Shopping at HomeGoods | People are making jokes about all the random and unique items you can find at T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods right now with the "shopping at HomeGoods be like" trend. Two people are shown shopping and one will ask for something very niche, like 352 green pillows , a squirrel lamp , a disco ball wearing a Santa hat , or an understated taco side table ...and of course the store has it in stock.
What brands are up to:
Airbnb invites fans to the Colosseum | Airbnb is teaming up with Paramount Pictures to host a special night at the Colosseum to promote the upcoming film, 'Gladiator II'.

They cannot stay the night at the Colosseum, of course, but they will get the chance to make some unforgettable memories through a 3-hour experience of their choosing. It’s also important to note that this has been met with criticism from local officials concerned about preserving the monument’s historic integrity.
