Shocking "SpongeBob" Truth That Ruins Childhoods
In the words of one of the most iconic theme songs of the 21st century, "Are you ready kids?"
To sum up the realisation — Choppa put crab meat on a burger and finally understood why Mr. Krabs was gatekeeping the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. The money-hungry restaurant mogul would put his own species (crabs) into burgers to "make a killing on the expensive market-priced delicacy". Chilling stuff.
This would explain why we don't really see other crabs on the show beside the group known as the Penny Pinchers.
But it wasn't just this revelation that stunned viewers — the comments on the video were a cocktail of mind-blowing observations and sea creature knowledge that added to the further destruction of our childhoods.
Here are the comments that made us question everything:
"The Krusty Krab is literally a crab trap", so obviously that explains everything!
—TikTok/@xxladysithxx
"Squidward was so addicted to [Krabby Patties], because a cephalopod's favourite food is crab meat."
—TikTok/@chibara01
"If you remember the 'Respect Your Elders' episode, Krabs literally has a graveyard of all his family outside the Krusty Krab."
—TikTok/@graysonalexander99
"[Mr Krabs] was the only crab and when others came, they disappeared."
—TikTok/@user064382357
"I watched a four-hour deep dive into Spongebob and a theory is that the secret recipe was whale meat — when they pass they can be used as a food source to fish for decades, and Mr Krabs was saving Pearl for the next time he ran out of stock."
—TikTok/@user173869011
"Some crabs can regrow claws, so technically they are sustainable as long as you're using specific crabs."
—TikTok/@jesselazard
"Spongebob knew and helped him cover it up."
—TikTok/@somosogo
And finally, "There's an episode where Mr. Krabs finally tastes a Krabby Patty and was like, 'Hmmm...so that's what I taste like'."
—TikTok/@xxladysithxx
This entire think really makes you think — is Plankton really the villain, or is he just trying to stop injustice?

I'm a waitress who makes big tips with this white lie — trolls say I have no morals, but I don't care
When it comes to making huge tips, she doesn't kid around. Although it's deceptively self-serving, a San Diego-based waitress has masterminded what's being deemed an 'amoral' hack for tugging at the heartstrings (and purse strings) of generous restaurant-goers. 'I put my baby picture in my server book to look like a single mom who has to provide,' Aislin Parker, 25, dished in the closed-captions of a trending TikTok tell-all, which has amassed over 2.2 million views. 'People are like, 'Is that your daughter?'' Parker said, showing off the precious photo of herself as a tot, dressed in an all-pink ensemble. 'I'm like, 'Yeah,'' continued the brunette, sharing the details of her phony sob story with a whiny tone of voice. ''She's six. I had her when I was 19. The dad didn't want to stay.'' 'It's giving single mom who works two jobs,' Parker said with a sly smirk, quoting Reba McEntire's 'I'm a Survivor' lyrics. 'I'm like, 'Help me support my baby. It's really tough.'' 'And it's working.' Parker's pity approach to making a pretty penny is one that plenty of servers are using to fatten their pockets. Tay B, a 20-something slinging wing-dings at Hooters, virally claimed that she raked in a whopping $400 in tips during one shift thanks to her protruding pregnant belly. Big-hearted customers showered the Gen Z with big bucks out of sheer sympathy for her big baby bump. Waitress Bella Woodard, however, gave herself a baby-like makeover, styling her hair in two girlish pigtails, in order to get hefty handouts from her male clientele. 'I got a $135 tip by one guy tonight,' Woodard bragged of the hairy hack. 'Wear pigtails to work, I'm boutta be doing this everyday.' The profitability of the stunts notwithstanding, haters argue that emotionally manipulating folks out of their money is totally wrong. 'So basically you are a liar,' spat an unamused commenter beneath Parker's baby pic post. 'No morals,' another outraged online barker. 'I couldn't imagine lying to make tips,' an equally disgusted detractor wrote. 'And then there are the single moms ACTUALLY working to support our kids. Two jobs,' a separate naysayer said, suggesting that Parker's money-making escapade makes a mockery of real working mothers who are going it alone. 'If you're a good server, I promise you don't have to lie to get better tips. Just sayin.' But the pennywise waitress isn't bothered by the shaming. 'So yeah, I'm like totally lying,' Parker shrugged in a subsequent snippet. 'I've donated my eggs twice, so I'm basically a mommy,' she teased. 'But I love to go into work and [become] a different person and make something up.' 'You gotta do what you gotta do.'

Woman Texts Roomie Cat "Destroyed" Pillow—Unprepared for What She Replies
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A cat owner was worried her pet destroyed her roommate's silk pillow, but what the roomie responded with left people cracking up. Kaylee, who is known on TikTok as @smoothiegal101, returned home to her cat lounging on a pillow. She immediately began to worry because it looked like the feline "destroyed" the silk pillow. The cat, named Poppy, wouldn't stop licking it. Every time Kaylee tried pushing the cat away, Poppy kept going back, adding to the slobbery masterpiece. Kaylee immediately texted her roommate, expressing her concern about Poppy chewing on her pillow. She sent a video and couldn't explain the behavior. But, much to her surprise, her roommate didn't seem miffed. The first text back she received read: "LMAFOOO YES." As it turned out, Kaylee's roommate purposely added a catnip leaf inside the pillow case with the hopes Poppy would want to be in her bed. She was "desperate for his love." A common herb from the mint family, catnip can cause behavioral changes in about 60 percent of cats, such as openly expressing signs of affection, relaxation and happiness, an article from PetMD explained. Some cats could become playful or even aggressive. In this instance, the catnip made Poppy obsessed with her pillow. He wouldn't leave it, which was exactly what the roommate wanted. The hope is that he would find her bed appealing and they would cuddle the night away. Newsweek reached out to @smoothiegal101 via email for additional information and comment. Screenshots from a June 6 TikTok video of a cat destroying a silk pillow because the owner put a catnip leaf inside.

What Do the Comments Say? As of Wednesday, the TikTok video reached over 992,100 views and 53,500 likes as viewers flooded the comment section with hysterics over the relatable desperate attempts to get a cat to love you. "She's so real for this," wrote one person, while another echoed: "Oh my god, this has me in tears I am so her, she is so me." A third user commented: "'It worked,' she's been plotting this one for a minute." But it turns out she's not the only one willing to go to extremes for a pet's love. Someone shared: "Me when i taped a piece of chicken under my pillow so my grandma's dog would sleep with me." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? Send them to life@ with some details about your best friend, and they could appear in our Pet of the Week lineup.

A guide to using Edits, Meta's new CapCut rival for short-form video editing
Meta recently released a new video editing app for creators called Edits. The new app is designed to rival ByteDance's CapCut, a popular short-form video-editing app used by many creators. Meta first shared that it was working on Edits back in January after ByteDance-owned CapCut was removed from U.S. app stores when the TikTok ban momentarily went into effect. Although the app has since come back online and is available to download, TikTok's future in the U.S. remains uncertain, so Meta is ready to capitalize on CapCut's possible absence in the future with its new Edits app. We've created this guide to walk you through the app and the different features it offers, and we provide an overview of how it compares to CapCut. Edits is available to download on both iOS and Android. Once you download the app and open it, you will be asked to log in with your Instagram account. From there you will see five main tabs: Ideas, Inspiration, Projects, Record, and Insights. The Ideas tab offers creators a space to jot down ideas for new videos and save reels to a collection, and the Inspiration tab features a hub for discovering trending audios and other popular reels. The Projects tab is where creators can store and revisit the videos they currently have in progress. This tab is also where creators can upload videos from their phone's camera roll. The Record tab lets creators start filming video content right within Edits. Lastly, the Insights tab gives creators an overview of how their content is performing by surfacing metrics like views, reach, and follower counts. Green screen: Replace and edit the background of your videos with one tap. Timeline: Precisely arrange and adjust clips. Captions: Add automatic captions to your videos in multiple languages. Audio library: Add music from Instagram's library to your videos. Cutouts: Isolate specific objects with precision tracking. Animate: Turn static images into videos using AI. Apply all: Apply filters, effects, transitions, and adjustments to all of your clips at once. Timeline frame rate selector: Convert your video to the frame rate you want in order to enhance playback smoothness. Alignment guides: Ensure viewers can see the important parts of your video when posted and accurately position text, emoji, or other elements. Beat markers: Add auto-detected beat markers to help you align clips, text, and overlays with audio when editing. Filters: Choose from 30 different filter options to add a unique look to your videos. Transitions: Choose from 30 different transitions to connect different video clips in a seamless way. Teleprompter: Follow your written script while recording. Restyle: Use AI to change the look and style of your video with a library of presets. Keyframes: Animate the position, rotation, and scale of clips. While both Edits and CapCut are great options for editing short-form videos, there are some differences between the two services. CapCut offers more robust editing options, including AI features, than Edits does. Of course, this can be expected since Edits is a lot newer than CapCut. Meta will likely continue to build out Edits over the next months and years, so we can expect to see more advanced functionality in the future. It's also worth noting that CapCut has a more extensive music library compared to Edits. Another difference is the fact that Edits currently doesn't have a subscription offering (for now), but CapCut does. While CapCut offers a free version, some of its advanced tools are locked behind a paid subscription. Edits is free to use, but this will likely change in the future, as Instagram head Adam Mosseri has stated that later versions of Edits may include paid features. In addition, while CapCut is available on the web, Edits is mobile-only. However, this could change in the future. Update: This story originally ran in May and is updated regularly with new information.
