Who Owns the Frog memecoin Meta? $OWO Says: Ethereum Does
PANAMA CITY, PA / ACCESS Newswire / July 4, 2025 / Frogs are everywhere. Solana. Base. Even BNB. From $WEPE to $MIND, presales have raked in millions. The frog meta is printing again. But one chain was missing its community-run comeback: Ethereum. That is, until now. Enter $OWO - The Frog That Refused to Die Before the presales. Before the psyops. Before the million-dollar mints... There was $OWO - the original Discord meme. Left for dead. Rugged. Abandoned. Until June 2025, when CT stepped in and took it back. No stealth mint. No insider bags. No fake narrative. Just a raw ERC-20 frog token, now reborn and fully run by the community. The dev left - so the people, led by M0R84N, took over. No tax. No presale. No roadmap. Just frog and freedom. $PEPE Is King. But $OWO Owns the Comeback. Let's be clear: • $PEPE kicked off frog season and still rules the charts. • $WEPE and $MIND were masterclasses in hype and presale power. • Those teams made millions before launch. Good for them! But $OWO didn't mint millions - it earned trust. This technically isn't a new project. It's an old meme from 2016, with deep cultural roots. Saved by CTO devs, locked and re-launched with nothing but code, vibes, and conviction. ETH Was Missing Its CTO Frog Every chain got a frog this cycle. But Ethereum didn't get a community-ran one - not until now. • Solana's got otters and weird blobs. • Base has frogs with VC bags and insider games. • ETH now has $OWO - no fluff, no leash, 100% frog power. Not a derivative. Not a theme. Not a grift. A meme. A community. A resurrection. Why $OWO Hits Different • Original 2016 frog emote energy (spam it, you already do) • True CTO takeover - community devs saved the token • 100% ERC-20 purity • No tax. No tricks. No presale dumpers • Born in Discord, now on-chain (and TG) where it belongs Official Links Chart: X: Join the community: The Bottom Line $PEPE is king. $WEPE and $MIND made serious bank. But $OWO? $OWO is ETH's redemption frog. The frog that was abandoned. Then resurrected. Now thriving - with zero tax and maximum vibe. Get ready for Eth Frog Summer! Don't fade $OWO.

If Your Dad Is The King Of Dad-Jokes, He Might Love These 31 Quirky Fathers' Day Gifts
A Star Wars-inspired Stormtrooper electric shaver so they can get their face as smooth as a Baby Yoda's bottom. A screaming goat figurine, because sometimes they need a buddy to scream it out with. It even comes with a book full of fun facts and trivia about the ever-majestic goat. A pack of 16 slingshot chickens they can pull, stretch, and fling at the wall or ceiling when they're feeling a bit bored, angry, or fidgety. A convenient lil' condiment fork if their love of pickles and olives is only matched by how much they hate getting soggy fingers by grabbing them straight out of the jar. All they have to do is place the silicone band around the top of the jar, and voila! A carton of popcorn seasoning salt so their at-home movie night snack rivals that of their local movie theater. A pack of four Crocs-shaped car air fresheners because the actual Crocs on their actual feet make their Subaru smell quite funky. These colorful and charming fresheners come with 12 scent pads (four lavender, four fern, and four unscented) and can be clipped to their car's air vent. A pair of (surprisingly) cozy fish slippers whose anti-skid soles not only ensure that these sandals are more wear-resistant but will also make sure they don't go slippin' and slidin' like, well, a wet fish. A rebellious mini frog statue perfect for decorating their garden and flipping off the neighbors. A mini wacky waving inflatable tube guy if they need a fun (but silent) coworker at their WFH station. Or if they need a good laugh while on their porcelain throne. A funny yet useful "Grievance Journal" because as much as you love your dad's incredibly dark sense of humor when it comes to all the things in life that annoy them, maaaybe they'd be better served writing those thoughts down instead of sharing them with the class. Inside, they'll find 52 distinct writing prompts and 52 misanthropic jokes that they are sure to find a little too funny. A Mjolnir bottle opener — others will ~Marvel~ at how strong they are as they pop open a Corona with ease! And a 44-piece Mjölnir toolbox sure to make them feel like a superhero every time they use what's in it to fix a household problem. A "Grillfather" apron so they can show off their burger-making abilities to the ~mob~ of family and friends waiting to eat at their next summer shindig. A wearable shark blanket if their favorite character in Jaws is, well, Jaws. Now they can cozy up on the couch to watch it! Dun dunnn! A "Gracula" garlic crusher — just because the Count has a garlic aversion doesn't mean he can't help them mince a little for their homemade pasta sauce. And it'll only take a few seconds! A set of guitar-themed grilling utensils to help them ~rock~ at the next barbecue! These stainless-steel utensils are rust-resistant so they'll last longer than Aerosmith toured.

Tricky optical illusion sees frog camouflaged in the grass - can you spot it in 30 seconds?
A mind-bending optical illusion has left internet users confused as they struggle to spot a camouflaged frog hiding in a patch of grass. The image was shared on Reddit 's r/FindTheSniper page this week by user Sea_Interaction7839, who challenged fellow users to 'find the frog friend'. The photo reveals what appears to be a patch of vibrant green grass - but somewhere within the frame, a frog can be found. Your mission? Find the hidden creature in under 10 seconds. Many users attempted to point out where the sneaky frog is hiding - but it blends into its surroundings so perfectly that some were stumped. Reddit users have been divided in their responses to the challenge. Some found it easily and confidently stated where they spotted the frog while others admitted to having difficulty. Some even admitted defeat despite staring at the image for minutes on end. 'I was about to give up and I found him,' wrote one user who managed to crack the puzzle. Another commenter took a more strategic approach. 'Well, logically speaking, he would have to be at least somewhere around the middle if he were the main subject of a post not specifically made for this sub. This one was super easy!' A third user offered a useful hint to those desperate for help. 'Slightly above center,' they wrote. But not everyone was taking the challenge seriously. One Reddit user joked: 'In the grass, next question,' while another simply commented: 'Easy, frog friend is in the grass.' Optical illusions like this have captivated internet audiences. They tap into the complex ways our brains process visual information and can reveal surprising cues about attention, focus, and cognition. Last week, another wild brain teaser has users scratching their heads. It pictured a lush, green jungle filled with flowing streams, towering trees and thick foliage. At first glance, it may seem like just a peaceful forest scene but look closer. Somewhere in this vivid landscape, a wild deer is cleverly concealed.

Tamil Nadu's endangered species fund hits a snag; AIWC to now manage ₹50 crore corpus
After the Tamil Nadu Forest Department's plan to safeguard endangered wildlife hit a roadblock, it has been decided to reroute the funds through a different institution. Announced in 2024 with an initial corpus of ₹50 crore, the Tamil Nadu Endangered Species Conservation Fund was initially set to be managed by the State Forest Development Agency (SFDA). However, concerns have emerged after it was found that the SFDA, a body responsible for promoting forestry development, has been largely defunct and inactive for some time. In a government order issued in November 2024, the SFDA was designated as the managing agency for the fund, which was to be initially overseen by the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve Foundation. The corpus of ₹50 crore was to be held by the Tamil Nadu Power Finance Corporation or the Tamil Nadu Transport Development Finance Corporation until further arrangements were made, according to the G.O. However, after scrutiny, Supriya Sahu, Additional Chief Secretary to the Departments of Environment, Climate Change, and Forests, acknowledged that the agency's inability to operate effectively would hinder the fund's intended goals. Ms. Sahu said that upon realising the SFDA's dysfunctional status, there were initial plans to create a new society or trust to manage the fund. However, this process was expected to take at least six months, which would delay the fund's deployment. To address this, the Forest Department has now decided to transfer the responsibility of managing the fund to the Advanced Institute of Wildlife Conservation (AIWC) in Vandalur, an institution known for its research and initiatives in wildlife conservation, which has been recently registered as a society. The AIWC has been deemed an ideal candidate to handle the funds efficiently and effectively, according to Ms. Sahu. Key objectives of the fund include surveying, assessing, and mapping threatened species across the State, enhancing conservation efforts both inside and outside protected areas, and building partnerships for the long-term protection of vulnerable species. Soon, the AIWC is expected to invite grant proposals for research on endangered species in the State, including Salim Ali's fruit bat, Malabar Civet, White-rumped vulture, Nilgiris wart frog, White-spotted bush frog, and Anamalai flying frog.
