Primark brings back millennial accessory that leaves people 'screaming' in fear
The nineties and noughties fashion trends are making a comeback, but the revival of one certain accessory has left millennials screaming in fear over it's return.
Jelly shoes and pedal pusher trousers have made a comeback in recent years without causing too much of a stir, however it's the return of the disc belts which have pushed people over the edge - with some saying it's bringing back "trauma" and "PTSD".
The large chunky belts made up of discs was a total fashion staple in it's heyday - but many hoped it would just stay in the past. So when shoppers spotted it on the shelves in Primark, people were in disbelief.
Including mum Nina Dixon, who shared a TikTok of her daughter trying one on, and sharing her horror at the return of the accessory. "They were not lying when they said fashions come back around. I need to find a photo of me in one of these," Nina captioned the post to her account @ ninadixon28.
The post has racked up over 2.5 million views and 113k likes as her daughter said she wanted her to buy it for her. Nina, who looked mortified said to her: "You do realise that when I was about 14 that is what we used to wear.

"We thought we were really cool and then we bullied them ever since. Now they've made this comeback and you're saying it's nice?!" She joked, and as their opinion on the belt different, fellow TikTokers agreed with Nina in the comments.
PTSD hahaha," and a third simply wrote: "The trauma from the disk belt."
Similarly, pedal pushers, or capri pants have also returned this year, with celebs like Frankie Bridge and Gigi Hadid spotted wearing the trending trousers So it's safe to say the vintage-style cropped leggings are making a major fashion comebacks.
They might have first arrive in fashion history back in the 1950s, but the 90s was when capri pants really came into their own, and now they're being given a seriously chic makeover ready for 2024. Gigi first donned a pair of the calf-skimming pants back in 2023 and since then they've been slowly creeping back onto our fashion radars.

Optical illusion 'personality test' shows if you're 'lonely' or a 'leader'
An optical illusion has been doing the rounds, with viewers asked to decide what they can see first in the image Optical illusions aren't just a delight to the eyes - some suggest they can uncover concealed aspects of our personalities. Utilising colour, light, and patterns, optical illusions deceive our sight. Beyond entertainment, they offer insights into visual perception, illustrating the collaboration between our eyes and brain. There's a notion that optical illusions can double as personality assessments, where an ambiguous image might be interpreted in various ways. The first element you discern is thought to disclose certain personality traits. These playful tests, rooted in psychology, provide an engaging means to self-discovery. And one particular optical illusion has sparked online discussions after psychologist Marina Neuralean presented it on TikTok, reports the Mirror. "The test will show what kind of person you are," Marina claimed. The TikTok account @psychologylove100 shared the same illusion, writing: "What you see first will reveal a very specific aspect of your personality," The video then displays the image, prompting viewers to identify whether they spot crocodiles, a bird, or a face first. Marina says: "If you see a bird, you have big goals but sometimes you feel lonely. If [you see] two crocodiles then you are a leader and don't like to be controlled." Looking deeper, the Psychology Love channel claimed that spotting the crocodiles suggests you're probably a highly sensitive and imaginative individual who finds wonder in everyday moments. They explained: "You are often inspired by your surroundings. You have a great imagination and are able to think innovatively to solve problems. You're draw to the arts, music and literature." Meanwhile, those who identified the bird - possibly an eagle - are more inclined to be sharp-eyed and methodical thinkers. The video elaborated: "You have a keen mind and are able to see the finer details in things. You're also very perceptive and able to understand things quickly. You are drawn to science, mathematics, and logic." The creators also suggest some viewers might detect a face or profile hidden within the picture. People who notice this feature are described as logical individuals with a "strong sense of logic". The video continues: "They are able to see things from different angles and understand different points of view." In TikTok's comments section, numerous users expressed confusion about the optical trick. One baffled viewer remarked: "No matter how you look at it, there's no bird in it." applying physics method but still can't find them." Someone else offered clarity, writing: "The bird is in the mouths of the crocodiles. The tail is the between the bottom jaw, beak is the tip between the top of the crocodiles." It comes after a maths puzzle also left grown-ups scratching their heads in bewilderment. The puzzle was shared by The Original 'Dude Comedy Showcase' and has a whopping 15,000 likes and comments.

The house in Barry was home to Doris before the character passed away and left the home to Gavin and Stacey in her will Superfans of the beloved BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey have a chance to snap up an iconic piece of the show's history, as Doris' house from the series is now on the market. The terraced property that served as a home for the much-loved character, cheeky pensioner Doris, is now for sale. Located on Trinity Street in Barry, Wales, it sits right next door to where Stacey's family lived on the show and is surrounded by familiar sights featured throughout the series, which concluded with a festive special last Christmas. Following the passing of Margaret John, the actress who portrayed Doris, in 2011, the series paid tribute by having her character also pass away, leaving her home to Gavin and Stacey in the storyline. Doris remained a fond memory in the show, even being mentioned in the finale years later. The property, listed by Chris Davies Estate Agents, boasts two bedrooms and spans 969 square feet. It's conveniently situated within walking distance of Barry train station and the docks. A TikTok video offers a glimpse inside the updated house, showcasing an open-plan living and dining area, alongside a contemporary kitchen. The first floor reveals two cosy bedrooms and a family bathroom. The outdoor space features decking and a synthetic lawn, described by the estate agents as "a seaside gem full of warmth and character." Priced at £220,000, the full listing details are available for viewing here. Gavin & Stacey fans were quick to comment, with one joking: "Smithy did a great job on that bathroom!" Another referenced the series, saying: "I'm so pleased to see Stacey got her new kitchen cabinets in the end." There were even some creative ideas for the future homeowner: "Would make a great Gavin and Stacey museum or air bnb. Would make a killing," suggested one fan.
