Geostorm

Rubber

Aquaman: The Lost Kingdom

Trisha Paytas Almost Named Her Baby Boy Water Snake Instead of Aquaman Moses
Trisha Paytas is opening up about the aquatic inspiration behind her son's name, and what he was almost named instead. Paytas, 37, and her husband, Moses Hacmon, welcomed their son Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon on July 12. In the Tuesday, July 22 episode of her podcast Just Trish, Paytas revealed, 'I will say my number one that we were so close to naming the baby is not a movie poster, but I loved it so much. It's Moses' poem 'Water Snake.' ' Hacmon's poem was originally shared on YouTube in 2017. 'I love 'Water Snake,' It's the Year of the Snake, Moses is a snake,' Paytas continued. 'We love water. I loved [the movie] Water World. I loved the name Water.' She added, 'At the end of the day, Moses loves water, I've adopted his philosophy.' Paytas then revealed her other top contenders for her newborn's name. "I did love Moses Jr., too," she said. "I really love that too. And I liked Aladdin. It wasn't water-themed, but I always loved Aladdin. Moses hated that. He vetoed Paper Man and Aladdin. pretty quick, so we switched." The influencer elaborated on the deep dive she took into Aquaman's lore before settling on the name for her son. 'I've been wearing Aquaman T-shirts for years, since 2017 when the first Justice League came out,' she shared. 'I have gone to so many Comic Cons for Aquaman. And I really fell in love when we rewatched Aquaman.' Paytas said she 'watched all the Aquamans,' including the cartoon, in order to 'find out every single piece' of lore that related to her son.

All the Dangerous TikTok Challenges Parents Should Know About
If you've got a teen or tween, you probably already know how fast TikTok trends come and go. One minute it's a harmless dance or a funny sound, and the next it's … well, something completely unhinged. And unfortunately, some of the stuff going viral isn't just stupid: it's dangerous, reckless, and even deadly. For nearly as long as the platform has been around, TikTok has churned out some truly wild challenges that kids are either laughing at, trying for views, or taking way too seriously. We're talking things like sticking metal into Chromebooks to make them spark (yes, really), inhaling household products to get a buzz, and choking themselves for 'fun.' Some trends are framed as wellness hacks or 'detoxes,' but — spoiler alert — they're usually anything but healthy. A lot of it boils down to curiosity, peer pressure, or chasing clout. And while many teens would never dream of doing this stuff, some might — especially if they see it over and over in their feed. The allure of making viral content is sometimes strong enough to override common sense, and TikTok's algorithm is designed to boost whatever gets the most engagement, not what's safest … so even a joke can spiral into something dangerous once it takes off. 'Teenagers will engage in many behaviors that will make their parents' heads spin. It's important to acknowledge that in between the space of stimulus and response, there is a choice,' Dr. Adolph 'Doc' Brown, clinical psychologist and parenting expert on ABC's The Parent Test, previously told SheKnows. 'Our teens make choices, both good and bad. As parents, our duty is to guard and guide them in the best way we can.' That's why it's so important for parents to have a basic idea of what's trending — not to panic or hover, but just to be able to say, 'Hey, I heard about this thing — is anyone at school doing it?' Sometimes that's all it takes to open the door for a real conversation. This gallery rounds up the most alarming TikTok challenges and trends from the past year — the ones that are stupid, risky, or downright deadly — and we'll keep updating it as new trends emerge. You might already be familiar with a few of them, but chances are there'll be at least one that makes you go, 'Wait … kids are doing what now?' And as often as trends go out of vogue, they re-emerge, so you never know which 'old' TikTok challenges will be making the rounds again. We can't keep up with everything our kids are seeing online. But we can try to stay in the loop — and hopefully keep them from doing something they'll regret before they even realize it's a bad idea. More from SheKnows Why Teens Are Talking About 'Jet2 Holidays' Right Now Best of SheKnows Aquaman, Wolf Monte, & More Unique Celebrity Baby Names Tween & Teen Slang 2025: A Definitive Guide to 'What the Hellyante' Your Kid Is Saying Right Now Two Cute: These Boy-Girl Twin Names Are Perfectly Paired & Seriously Adorable Chromebook Challenge What is the Chromebook challenge? Kids are sticking metal objects — like paper clips or pencil lead — into their school-issued Chromebooks to make sparks fly. Literally. It's being treated like a joke, but it's frying the laptops, starting small fires, and even getting kids charged with arson in some places. Blackout Challenge What is the blackout challenge? This one's terrifying: kids are choking themselves or holding their breath to the point of passing out on purpose — sometimes while filming it. It's been around for years but resurfaced lately, and yes, it has led to actual deaths. There's nothing harmless about it. Benadryl Challenge What is the Benadryl challenge? This trend dares kids to take way too much Benadryl in order to hallucinate. It sounds absurd — and it is — but teens have ended up in the ER, and at least one has died. It's one of those 'just because you can doesn't mean you should' situations. Chroming/WhipTok What is the chroming or WhipTok challenge? This involves inhaling nitrous oxide (often from whipped cream canisters) to get a short-lived high. What it can actually lead to? Brain damage, seizures, heart issues, or worse. And it's still popping up on TikTok under sneaky hashtags like #WhipTok. Outlet Challenge What is the outlet challenge? Yep, it's as dumb as it sounds: kids partially plug in a charger and then slide a penny into the exposed prongs. Cue sparks, electrical fires, and a trip to the principal's office — or the hospital. Door-Kicking Challenge What is the door-kicking challenge? Also called the 'Kool-Aid Man' challenge ('80s and '90s kids will get this one), this one involves teens kicking in people's front doors to film their reactions. Not only is it a great way to terrify someone, it's also a great way to get arrested — or worse, if the homeowner fights back. Urban Exploration (UrbanEx) Challenge What is the urban exploration challenge? This isn't new, but it's trending again: teens filming themselves breaking into abandoned buildings for views. Aside from the obvious danger of trespassing, there's also collapsing floors, exposed wiring, and a very real risk of injury. Though we're all for teens 'adventuring,' we know that doing it in the wrong places can be dangerous. Sun Tattoos What is the sun tattoo trend/challenge? Not only is tan skin 'in' right now, but teens are using stencils and sunscreen to purposely burn tattoo-like patterns into their skin by tanning without protection. It's painful, pointless, and increases the risk of skin cancer. But it sure looks cool on TikTok, right? Dragon's Breath Challenge What is the dragon's breath challenge? People are putting liquid nitrogen on candy or cereal to blow smoke out of their mouths. What's the problem? Liquid nitrogen can cause serious burns to the mouth and throat — and even breathing issues if inhaled. Nutmeg Challenge What is the nutmeg challenge? Some teens are downing spoonfuls of nutmeg (we're talking tablespoons, not sprinkles) mixed in water, hoping to get trippy. It sounds silly, but too much nutmeg can cause hallucinations, extreme nausea, dizziness — even seizures or coma. Galaxy Gas Challenge What is the Galaxy Gas challenge? You may have seen these colorful canisters — often labeled Galaxy Gas — around. They're meant for whipping cream (like for restaurant use), but teens are inhaling the nitrous oxide inside to chase a quick high. Doctors warn that nitrous 'laughing gas' can cause dizziness, loss of coordination, nerve damage (like B12 deficiency leading to spinal issues), hallucinations, or worse — oxygen deprivation that can even kill you. It's becoming so common that TikTok now blocks searches for 'Galaxy Gas' and points users to substance‑abuse info. Even big retailers pulled it from their shelves as the trend exploded in late 2024. Brightly branded cans + candy flavors = basically a booby-trapped candy store for kids. Orbeez Challenge What is the Orbeez challenge? Kids are loading up toy guns with Orbeez gel beads and firing them at strangers or classmates. It's being passed off as a prank — but it's led to eye injuries, arrests, and even assault charges. Definitely not just harmless fun. Nee-Doh Challenge What is the Nee-Doh challenge? This trend has kids freezing and microwaving squishy Nee-Doh toys to make them 'more fun.' Instead, they explode — and kids are ending up with severe burns. The goo can stick to skin and cause serious chemical injuries. Hard pass. Solve the daily Crossword

Ozzy Osbourne, Trisha Paytas and the weirdest theory on the internet
If you've been on the internet long enough, you may have stumbled down a rabbit hole or two. It's not unimaginable for a wild conspiracy theory to rise from the depths of Reddit to the mainstream algorithm. But none is perhaps more salient (or bizarre) than the Trisha Paytas Baby Theory, an idea that somehow combines the monarchy, mukbangs and a child named Malibu Barbie. Paytas, 37, a longtime internet star known for her outlandish sense of humor and seemingly rail-thin grasp on reality, welcomed a third child this month: Aquaman Moses Paytas‑Hacmon, with husband Moses Hacmon. Curiously, it wasn't the superhero-inspired name that drummed up internet fervor, but rather the timing of the birth. Aquaman was born shortly before the death of famed rocker Ozzy Osbourne, an instance that notches nicely into Trisha Paytas Baby Theory (trademark pending), a half-serious idea that each time the meme queen gives birth, a notable world leader dies. The idea first picked up steam when Paytas' first child, Malibu Barbie, was born just hours after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, leading to fan theories that the baby was a reincarnated version of the deceased monarch. When Paytas announced she was expecting a second child in 2024, rumors instantly began to swirl around who might be the next big name to fall ahead of the birth (President Donald Trump was a popular guess). Much to the disappointment of eager theorists, Paytas' second child, Elvis, was born with no one to reincarnate in May of 2024. Aquaman is another story, though. That his birth came in such proximity to Osbourne's death was all the fuel fans of the theory needed. She also announced the baby's name, Tuesday, July 22, the same day as the Black Sabbath musician's death. Paytas diehards were quick to link the two, flooding the internet with wisecracks about her third child once again carrying the soul of a prominent cultural icon. No stranger to wild internet rumors, some of which she has concocted herself, Paytas remains dubious about the theory. "I don't know how my womb is carrying all these souls," she joked on an April 22 episode of her podcast, "Just Trish."
