Hippo birthday: Thai internet sensation Moo Deng turns ONE
Thailand's pygmy hippo Moo Deng marked her first birthday on Thursday, drawing crowds of diehard fans even as she left behind the cute animal infancy that earned her worldwide internet fame. Big crowds are expected at a four-day festival at Khao Kheow Open Zoo where Moo Deng – meaning 'Bouncy Pork' in Thai – frolicked to stardom and amassed five million social media followers. The first day of the extravaganza fell on a Thai public holiday with an agenda including a lecture on 'Moo Deng's cheekiness', while a skincare beautician paid $3 000 to sponsor her 'birthday cake' made of an edible plant arrangement. A small crowd of fans gathered outside her enclosure on Thursday morning – fewer than the hordes she commanded at the height of her fame, but still animated with adoration.

'She's really special to me, she makes me happy,' she said. Tang insisted Moo Deng is 'still really sassy and funny' despite approaching maturity. 'Take a look at the crowd today – she's still a legend,' she told AFP. Moo Deng merchandise on the shelves of the Khao Kheow Open Zoo's souvenir shop in Chonburi © Chanakarn Laosarakham / AFP Moo Deng has swollen from 5kg (11 pounds) at birth to 93kg today. She spent her birthday plodding in her enclosure and submerged in a pond – a stark contrast to her energetic yet clumsy antics as a pint-sized pachyderm. 'Moo Deng used to be very naughty and jumped around all the time,' said Attaphol Nundee, one of her six handlers. 'Now, she only eats and sleeps.' 'Her popularity has slowed,' admitted the 32-year-old. 'But some old fans have returned, and there are new ones too.' Despite her waning fame, 'her eyes light up when people take photos of her', he said. Moo Deng took only a few demure bites of her 'birthday cake' made of watermelon, corn, dragon fruit and tomato before her mother Joana devoured it almost in its entirety. 'She was kind of hesitant at first with the cake, so I was like, 'Oh my gosh, come on diva!',' said Molly Swindall, a TikTok influencer from the United States. Hundreds of spectators queued for their allotted five-minute audience with Moo Deng at the Chonburi province zoo, a two-hour drive from Bangkok. One eager fan took home Moo Deng's bathtub, which was auctioned off for around $3 000 to raise funds for the zoo. Moo Deng's blubbery rose-blushed face launched a thousand memes and a plethora of merchandise, including piggy banks, party shirts and popsicles – prompting her owners to trademark her likeness.

There were hopes her stardom would spotlight the plight of the endangered pygmy hippo, native to West Africa with only around 2 500 left alive according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. But social media and search engine metrics suggest Moo Deng's popularity peaked around late September before dramatically declining. 'Maybe part of our appreciation of cuteness is knowing that it's something that doesn't last very long,' he told AFP. Moo Deng is part of a pantheon of captive animals who have enjoyed flash-in-the-pan popularity online, including Australia's Pesto the penguin and China's Hua Hua the panda. Pygmy hippos have a lifespan of between 30 and 50 years. 'Moo Deng won't be the most popular forever,' admitted her handler Attaphol. 'One day there will be a new generation of Moo Deng.'

Unpacking #BlackGirlShowerTok: a viral trend revolutionising self-care routines
Discover how the #BlackGirlShowerTok trend on TikTok has influenced people's shower routines and self-care practices. Image: Pexels When it comes to shower routines, most people are used to the simplicity, lathering up, rinsing off, and calling it a day. But with the #BlackGirlShowerTok trend, a shower routine is more than just a quick cleanse. It's an experience, a moment of self-care and pampering. From pre-hair treatments to exfoliating gloves, black women on TikTok are sharing their very layered shower routines. But what's behind this trend, and how did it become a cultural phenomenon? The rise of #BlackGirlShowerTok The #BlackGirlShowerTok trend evolved from a genuine niche for black women to share and exchange ideas on shower routines, personal hygiene, and self-care. The trend is rooted in the 'smelling' good aesthetic, which emphasises the importance of cleanliness and freshness, whether you're getting ready for work or bed. However, it soon shifted to focus on the broader aspects of self-care and personal hygiene. Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ For black women, sharing their shower routines became a way to connect with others who share similar hair and skin care needs. It became a trend on TikTok because that is a platform where people learn how to do almost everything under the sun. The trend highlights the unique details of black hair and skin care, which often involve specific products, techniques and routines due to different hair textures and skin types. As the trend gained momentum, it became a platform for black women to showcase their self-care practices and learn from others. Cultural significance of shower routines Interestingly, the trend caught the attention of women from other racial backgrounds, particularly white women. One TikTok user @msgingersnapqueen found herself on the other side of the algorithm, where she discovered #BlackGirlShowerTok and sparked a conversation about the differences in shower routines between cultures. She expressed her admiration for the thoroughness and attention to detail in black women's shower routines, realising that her routine might not be as effective. This sparked a broader conversation about the importance of self-care and personal hygiene, and how different cultures approach these practices.

Demon or designer? Labubu dolls spark wild online debate
Labubu dolls, the quirky toys adored by celebrities, have ignited a fierce debate online, with claims of demonic connections causing panic among fans. It was only a matter of time before something adorable became the target of an internet witch hunt. Labubu dolls, the wide-eyed, toothy little monsters dangling from the designer bags of Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Dua Lipa are the latest victims of a digital-age moral panic. Cute? Sure. Slightly creepy? Definitely. But demonic? That's the claim currently sweeping across TikTok and X, and it's sent conspiracy-loving corners of the internet into a frenzy. What are Labubu dolls? Labubus are palm-sized fuzzy creatures attached to keychains, available in multiple quirky variations. They're sold in a 'blind box' format, which means you never quite know what you're getting - a marketing strategy that's irresistible to collectors and children alike. They've become must-haves for fashionistas and collectors alike, popping up everywhere, and naturally, when something gets that popular, the internet decides it must be cursed. The 'Demonic Energy' theory In recent weeks, social media users have started comparing Labubus to none other than Pazuzu - an ancient Mesopotamian demon known for his lion-like face, clawed feet and wings. One X user took it upon themselves to warn the masses: 'Labubu = Pazuzu. Do not invite demons into your home.' Another one said, 'Bruhh I have read somewhere that LABUBU doll is associated with demon PAZUZU an ancient demon of Mesopotamia and Babylon mythology....' It escalated quickly. Some Christians have even taken to burning their Labubu dolls in the name of spiritual safety - because naturally, nothing says calm and rational response like setting plush toys on fire.
