The best of the internet, right here, right now
BuzzFeed Daily is undergoing a bit of a touch up; you're still going to get the top trending stories, but along the way, you'll get to meet our editors and get their ~hot takes~ on what's swirling around the Interwebs. |
We made it to Friday! It was a big week if you're a die-hard Coachella goer, 4/20 friendly, or an introvert, apparently. Luckily, the weekend is here and so is your weekly download of everything you may have missed on the internet this week. Let's dive in, shall we? ✨ |

Don't Worry: Snickers Isn't Removing Its Signature Chocolate "Veins" You're either sighing in relief or questioning everything you know about society right now. Basically, the above viral photo (with a NSFW caption, naturally) convinced most of Twitter that the chocolate bar was getting a version of candy botox. Thankfully, the rumor was quickly debunked, with Snickers even posting this unhinged tweet. Between that, the Twix brand shooting their shot, and the *hilarious* replies to the original tweet, I think it's time for us all to take a nap. I'm kind of craving a Snickers though... |

| This Woman's Painful Moment Became The Week's Most Hilarious Meme All Kate wanted was to post a TikTok showing off her fit; instead she became the internet's joke du jour. The original video is funny enough on its own, but the duets and stitches take it to a whole new level. If you're not on TikTok (save yourself while you still can), don't worry — you can see some of the funniest mashups in this (also viral) tweet thread. Reminder: the internet is a savage, beautiful place. |

Scrub Daddy And The Duolingo Owl Had A Baby Yes, you read that right. We live in an age where the Duolingo owl is one of TikTok's hottest stars — watch out Addison Rae! Recently, Duolingo and Scrub Daddy collabed to create the content no one asked for, including a video (set to The Wanted's "Glad You Came," *shudders*) where the owl gives "birth" to a handful of tiny owl-shaped sponges. Creepy? Yes. The new norm for brands on social media? Probably. |

People Have ~Thoughts~ On Viola Davis' Portrayal Of Michelle Obama In "The First Lady" The show — which follows the stories of Betty Ford, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Michelle Obama — dropped this week, which means Twitter immediately dug its claws into it. Particularly roasted is Viola Davis' persistent lip-pursing, prompting a flood of memes and an equally large avalanche of support for the actor. It's certainly stirring up a big discussion, but honestly it just makes me want to watch the show more, so maybe this is Viola's marketing tactic? |

Eat: I've been on a salad kick lately and this creamy tahini dressing has been a go-to. Toss it on some kale, fresh crunchy veg, and air-fried chickpeas for something delicious *and* nutritious. Watch: As someone who got Covid before they could go see Everything Everywhere All at Once, I have major FOMO and will be heading to the theater the *second* I test negative! Shop: I've been daydreaming about buying the $2,000 curvy mirror, but maybe I should DIY it instead? Read: I'm obsessed with this article about the elusive industry of celeb book styling. A fave quote: "Emma said, 'I want to do for books what Kylie Jenner did for lip kits.' Ariel was like, 'What does that mean?' And Emma said, 'Well, that you have to have one.'" Do: It's Earth Day! Celebrate any way you know how: taking a walk, eating a vegan meal, hugging a tree, or perhaps reminding your senators that climate change is very real. |
