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. | Happy Friday! This week felt like a *doozy* between real-life events, online events, and the mind-blogging intersection of the two. It's hard to keep up with everything (speaking of, is the new Kardashian show any good?), so let us do it for you with our latest round-up of what you missed on the internet this week! Enjoy, besties. ✨ | | | The Internet Is Going Wild For The Man Who Caught The Alleged Brooklyn Shooter Zack Tahhan has basically become the internet's hero after being the one to spot and report the alleged shooter, leading to his arrest. From grabbing the mic and interviewing people on the news to a shoutout on The Daily Show, Zach's become this week's ~person to talk about~ on Twitter (and beyond!). | | | A Tweet About Butter Went Viral For...Reasons When Twitter user (and former BuzzFeed editor, funnily enough) shared a story about running out of butter and snagging a literal *cup* of the good stuff from a local bodega, the internet went a little bit wild in the replies. People had a lot to say about what this innocent butter cup means for society, from literal Stockholm Syndrome to the integral place of bodegas during pregnancy. Personally, I'm team #CupofButter, but I'll let you decide for yourself. | | | The Mid-Aughts Are BACK, BABY! Speaking of "baby," pop queen Britney Spears announced her pregnancy this week, prompting an overflow of congratulations from virtually everyone on this planet (except for Justin Timberlake — boo.) Meanwhile, Bennifer is ~officially~ back with a new rock on Jenny from the block's finger. What does this mean? Well, according to Twitter, it means that society seems to be reverting back in time to the mid-2000s. Look, as long as low-rise jeans don't make a comeback, I'm here for it. | | | Can You Survive On $10,000 A Month? *Extremely Elle Woods voice* What, like it's hard? Apparently for a certain TikToker, the answer is yes. In a video now seen by over 1.3 million people, a 25-year-old woman explained why that's simply not enough money to live off of. Needless to say...people had *thoughts*. The convo got so heated that it filtered onto Twitter, where the video got absolutely roasted to the point of being burnt. | | | Eat: An easy-to-put-together meal that *looks* impressive? Sign me up. Watch: I officially started the Gay Pirate Show (according to Twitter) and can confirm it is both gay and amazing. Shop: Warmer temps call for an upgrade to my WFH sweats, so I invested in this little number. It's the perfect comfy loungewear for spring and summer! Read: This Wikipedia page thanks to this tweet. Do: Share your recent faves with us! Have a show, recipe, or book that's been making your weekdays bearable? Hit reply and let me know about it and you might see your rec right here! | | | Is there a hot, new TikTok trend coming across your FYP? See a tweet that had you laugh so loud you scared your dog? Want to argue about the next "Laurel vs. Yanny?" Hit "reply" to this email to slide straight into my inbox and send me the best of YOUR internet! | | | |
