This Week's Viral Internet Treasures You Can't Miss
Welcome to Only Good Internet, where — like a Starbucks barista with brainrot — I serve you a delicious mix of internet content.
You might be familiar with the subreddit r/MovieDetails, in which people share little details and Easter eggs from their favorite movies. It's fun! But what I really want to share with you is its evil twin, r/ShittyMovieDetails, which makes me laugh just about every time it pops up in my feed. What's it about, you ask? Well, as the name implies, it's movie details, but shitty. For example:
It's true, they were!
This one's great:
And I know we like to avoid politics here, but this one's a bipartisan issue:
Just an excellent joke, TBH.
And finally, sometimes the details just raise really good questions:
Because really, WTF was up with that, Coop?
…That in English, we do this:
I love when you discover the reason behind something that you always just kinda knew about your language, and it's like your brain just goes, 'Oh!' (Of course, this might be an English-specific phenomenon, because our language usually feels like it's just based on vibes.)
There's this one, too:
That's OSASCOMP for short.
Basically, I'm always impressed by ANYONE learning English as a second language, because it seems like it would be impossible.
There are many things I love about this image — the tiny, rabbit-sized bed, the look of quiet satisfaction on the rabbit's face — but for some reason the use of 'chuffed' is just the cherry on top.
Proper chuffed, even!
Do you ever stop to think about how the advancement of technology is making us safer and improving people's critical thinking skills? Yeah, me neither:
I mean, I guess this is a great way to catch terrorists who are stuck in some kind of Liar Liar situation because their son made a wish on his birthday cake.
I always like to finish every week by leaving you with a little something that I can't get out of my head. This week, it's all about pigeons:
— Code switching as a toddler?— This is cool as hell— Strangers naming people's pets is so entertaining— That's it. That's exactly what it's like— I have not fact-checked this, but I SO hope it's true
That's all for this week, see you later! And remember, if you want more like this, you can subscribe to the Only Good Internet newsletter (if you want, I mean, don't let me tell you what to do, ya know?).

Groom mistakenly blurted out ex's name during vows — people are shocked at the bride's reaction
It was a wedding to remember — for all the wrong names. Andrew and Rebecca Fildes were tying the knot in the English countryside back in 2023 when the groom accidentally delivered a blast from the romantic past — blurting out his ex-girlfriend's name in the middle of his vows. The Bedfordshire bride, to her eternal credit, didn't storm off in a taffeta tornado. She laughed. The guests laughed. Even Andrew laughed. The internet? Not so forgiving. The moment, posted to TikTok on July 28, shows the celebrant prompting, 'I take you, Rebecca Sarah Joan Qureshi…' Andrew, holding his bride's hands, replied: 'I take you, Sarah…' Cue the gasp, then giggles. Rebecca — mercifully — saw the funny side. 'His ex-girlfriend's name is Sarah, [and] so is one of my middle names,' she explained to Newsweek. 'I understood he was nervous and slipped up.' 3 To her credit, the bride didn't bolt in a taffeta twister — she laughed. The guests laughed. Even the groom laughed. The internet? Yeah… not so much. Serhii – 'I'm a lot more outgoing and sociable,' Rebecca continued. 'Andi [short for Andrew] is more introverted and sensible.' Still, the blunder was undeniable. 'He didn't even realize he'd left 'Rebecca' out,' she recalled. 'I told him and he said, 'I'm so sorry, I was so nervous that I'd do something wrong.' We laughed about it.' Rebecca's TikTok post (@scalesfeathersandfur), cheekily captioned 'Oh dear,' has racked up more than 30,000 views — and a comment section split between sympathy and scorched-earth. 'To be fair I think he just got HER names in the wrong order due to anxiety. He looks besotted with her. Congratulations,' one viewer wrote. 3 The bride's TikTok clip has racked up 30,000‑plus views — with commenters torn between compassion and savage takedowns in response to it. wideonet – 'Ross and Rachael … I mean Emily moment,' joked one commenter, referencing the infamous 'Ross says Rachel' moment from 'Friends.' Others weren't buying it: 'Oh no, that's awful. I would have been so upset.' One user dubbed it 'instant romance cancellation.' Another chalked it up to wedding‑day jitters: 'things like this happen when you are nervous…' One simply called it a 'no-go.' 3 Viewers flooded the video's comments section with nods to the 'Friends' infamous altar flub — Ross saying 'Rachel' in the Season 4 finale, 'The One with Ross's Wedding' (above). ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Looks like she took 'Sarah' out of the vows — but not out of her happily‑ever‑after. And she's hardly the first Brit bride to see her big day go off‑script. As The Post previously reported, one Yorkshire father of the bride accidentally marched halfway down the aisle without his daughter, while another groom was left 'humiliated' after a prank garter toss swapped his bride for a groomsman. Ultimately, whether it's name‑drops, aisle‑walk mix‑ups or under‑the‑dress dupes, wedding‑day blunders have a way of living rent‑free in everyone's memories — and on the internet — for years.

She got in trouble as a teen in New York City, but in Bangkok, she became a beauty queen
Metinee Kingpayome arrived in Bangkok on her 20th birthday. Born in Maryland and raised in New York City by Thai immigrant parents, Kingpayome had only visited Thailand twice as a child. That trip back to Thailand in 1992 marked more than just a birthday milestone; it marked the beginning of her new life. "It was something special," Kingpayome, now 53, told Business Insider. "Something that would change my life forever." Troubled teenage years Raised in a working-class neighborhood in Queens, Kingpayome was around 9 when her parents separated. As the oldest of four — and the only daughter — she often took on the responsibility of looking after the house. "My brothers were still quite young, so I had to help my mom at a very young age," Kingpayome said. She spent her childhood in a tight-knit Thai-American community, and her mother enrolled her in Sunday school to help her learn Thai. At home, her mom spoke to her in their native language. "She was very traditional, and she tried to raise me in that way," Kingpayome said. "We clashed a lot. You spend 16 hours a day speaking English, living the Western life, and then you come home, and your mom is super strict." Her teenage years were especially rough. By 14, she was getting into trouble and clashing with her mother. She barely made it through high school. A wake-up call came when the boy she was dating in her late teens got arrested. Working a dead-end job as a waitress in a Thai restaurant, she knew something had to change. "I just felt like, OK, this is not working out. There's got to be more," Kingpayome said. She'd always been drawn to fashion and decided to try modeling. But in the early '90s, the industry favored blonde hair and blue eyes — a beauty standard that she didn't fit. Determined not to give up, she decided to give Thailand a whirl. Just for six months, she told herself. She booked a one-way ticket, moved in with an aunt, and entered a beauty pageant. Several months later, she won Miss Thailand World 1992. An unexpected beauty queen Kingpayome says she didn't intend to be a beauty queen, but modeling was competitive. "I thought that would be a very good stepping stone," she said. "Pageantry was huge back in the '80s and '90s. So I entered a beauty pageant, not expecting to win, but then won." Winning the crown changed everything. She was thrust into the spotlight and, at the end of the year, represented Thailand at Miss World 1992, where she was crowned Continental Queen of Asia and Oceania. The transition from being unknown to a recognizable face was tough to navigate, especially for someone still finding her footing in a new country. Thai society was more conservative at the time, and women were generally expected to be more reserved, she said. "All of a sudden, I have to be this very proper, polite woman, and I struggled with that for a year," Kingpayome said. "Being born and growing up in the States, I was very, very vocal." Once her pageant contract was up, she started modeling. In the late '90s, Kingpayome was featured in advertising campaigns for brands such as Lux Soap and Sony. Since then, she's also appeared on the covers of the Thai editions of Vogue, Elle, and Harper's Bazaar, among many others. Kingpayome says she stood out in the industry because of her bold fashion choices, such as taking part in photoshoots while wearing swimsuits. "I felt I was part of the movement where things were starting to shift from conservative to modern," Kingpayome said. 'I was always professional' Unlike the " sabai sabai" Thai way of life, where locals often adopt a relaxed, go-with-the-flow attitude, Kingpayome said her work ethic set her apart. "If the call time's eight. I'm there at seven-thirty. It doesn't matter how hungover I am. I might look like crap, but I was there," she said. "I was always professional." Still, it took time to convince her family of her career choices, as they struggled to understand the nature of her work. It was only years later, when her mother eventually relocated to Bangkok from the US, that she began to understand, especially once Kingpayome started bringing her along to photoshoots. "She's like, oh, OK. You're not actually taking off your clothes," Kingpayome said, recalling her mother's reaction. Trading covers and catwalks for motherhood and a slower life Young, independent, and suddenly in demand, Kingpayome's life in Thailand took off. "I worked hard, but I played harder because, as a teenager, I never had that kind of life. When I left New York, I was only starting to be legal to go clubbing and stuff," she said. Everything in Thailand felt so different and new, she added. "I kind of got lost in the party scene, and my career was taking off. I was in every fashion show. I was on every cover of every magazine. It was just like, wow, oh my God, I love this life," she said In addition to modeling, she also built a successful career in show business, working as a TV presenter and appearing in numerous Thai movies and TV shows. Her fast-paced lifestyle lasted nearly a decade before she began to feel burned out and decided to slow down. In her mid-thirties, she got married and later had her son, who is now 16 and a competitive swimmer. The marriage ended in a divorce, but she still co-parents with her ex. In recent years, she's served as a mentor and judge on modeling reality shows and has coached contestants in the Miss Universe Thailand pageant. In 2021, she established a modeling academy with her brother called Muse by Metinee. "We use runway modeling as a tool to help people gain confidence. So our youngest student is 4 years old, and my oldest student, who is still with us, is 59," Kingpayome said. Many of her students are kids who have been bullied or who have low self-esteem, and seeing them break out of their shells and become more confident has been rewarding, she added. Since pageantry is still big in Thailand, she also coaches men, women, and members of the LGBTQ+ community who aspire to compete. The academy has since expanded to include a modeling agency. Jack Titus, the winner of Mister Model International 2025, who also grew up straddling both American and Thai cultures, told BI that his training at the academy was "the backbone" of his performance in the pageant. "From the way we walked to the way we spoke, every moment was designed to prepare us for the world stage," Titus said. "The discipline, presence, and emotional resilience I gained at Muse played a massive role in that win." Thailand, always Over three decades later, Kingpayome is still one of Thailand's biggest stars. Parisa Pichitmarn, a millennial journalist based in Bangkok, told BI that she has always admired Kingpayome. "She comes across as a strong woman who's professional and also doesn't take any crap," Pichitmarn said. Manorat Sangsuk, a Thai Gen X finance specialist, told BI that in the '90s, a lot of the models were half Western and half Thai, and having someone who "just looked Thai" was refreshing. "She's pretty cool in her own way — you know, not like sweet, gentle, traditional Thai type." It's hard to say whether Kingpayome would have enjoyed the same level of success if she had stayed in the US. "Because you're a tiny fish in a big pond, whereas in Thailand, I was a big fish in a tiny pond. So it was very different," she said. These days, Kingpayome lives in Bangkok and considers herself to be more Thai than American. "When I go back to America, I feel I'm visiting. I don't feel like it's home," she said. She used to visit the US more often, especially when her son was younger. But now, with her mother and two of her brothers living in Thailand, there's less reason to return. Only one brother remains in New York, still living in the Queens apartment they all grew up in. Years from now, Kingpayome says she might end up living by the beach, running a small bed-and-breakfast. Or she might move to wherever her son decides to live when he gets older. "But I think my life is in Thailand," she added.

Semi-Secret Japanese Coffee Hangout Kissaten Corazon Opens in Chinatown
A new hidden cafe is bringing a taste of Japanese coffee culture to Chinatown. Kissaten Corazon, which opened June 28, serves coffee, Japanese egg sandwiches, and more in a vintage-inspired space tucked off Spring Street. 'It's like a speakeasy for coffee,' says owner Dominic Abat. A kissaten is a type of Japanese cafe that came to prominence during the 20th century, characterized by its Old-World charm and relaxed atmosphere. Although Abat sticks to tradition in many ways, he wanted Kissaten Corazon to reflect its surroundings in Los Angeles. 'A lot of them are dark and moody,' he says, 'I feel as though my kissaten is definitely an iteration that fits LA culture.' The interior offers cozy corners with seating areas illuminated by natural light, a staple of many LA establishments, alongside a menu inspired by Los Angeles and Japan. Abat stumbled upon his first kissaten while exploring Tokyo during a 2023 trip and fell in love with the concept. 'What's special about them is that a lot of them are hidden. They're not really present on social media, so not a lot of people know about them,' he says. 'It was just something that felt very curated that you had to find, and that was something that I really connected with and loved.' His dream is to live in Japan, so he's 'bringing that missing piece so it's a part of my life. The culture itself has given so much to me and has helped me discover more about myself and what I love,' he says. Inspired, Abat jotted down a concept for a kissaten once he returned to the U.S., but didn't seriously consider it until a regular of his previous coffee shop, Loop Espresso Club, offered him the Chinatown location. Despite initial hesitations due to the lack of foot traffic, something clicked for Abat. 'I really felt like we could recreate a kissaten concept at this location,' he recalls. 'The space was just so beautiful to me.' Abat, whose resume includes cooking at AOC, Bavel, and Pizzeria Sei, hopes that Kissaten Corazon will provide a flexible space with great service where people can come work during the day, or meet up with friends. 'Working at those establishments has allowed me to bring that kind of hospitality to coffee,' says Abat of his work history. 'I think that's probably one of our most important things, is giving people that next level in the coffee industry.' The interior of the cafe hews closely to what would be found at kissaten in Japan, with homey antique furniture. The name, design, and logo for the cafe are an homage to Abat's late grandmother. 'I wanted a Spanish word for the name because we're in LA and I felt it was fitting,' he says. 'My grandma's name just so happened to be Cora – Corazón [heart, in English] – and I felt like it was perfect for being in the heart of LA,' says Abat. Currently, the cafe sources pastries from Cafe Tropical, serving them alongside breakfast items like egg sandos on fluffy milk bread. Beans come from Japanese roaster Blacklight Coffee, while signature drinks like the Kissa soda float, strawberry sesame latte, cantaloupe milk cream top, and matcha coconut evoke the sweet desserts typically found in a kissaten. Abat plans to extend the hours and begin evening music programming, plus an expanded menu of wine, beer, and sake, and more food options like pizza toast and curry. Kissaten Corazon is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday, and is located at 1640 N Spring Street, Suite A, Los Angeles, CA 90012. What seems like the outside of Kissaten Corazon.
