SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Any time you’re doomscrolling, you’re likely to come across a few of them: emotional posts about something, whether it be politics, climate change, a way someone feels they’ve been wronged, or any of a million other grievances that have driven the content creator to literal tears. But new research suggests that social media posts showing the creator crying while explaining a situation often spark skepticism, not sympathy. Studies from Cornell University, University of Pennsylvania, and University of Michigan found that viewers tend to view emotional expressions as less appropriate and less genuine than neutral ones - even when they actually agree with the message. Sad or fearful posts were seen as less sincere, and visible emotion, like a sad face, reduced trust. While shared beliefs helped slightly, they didn’t eliminate doubt. Overall, the findings suggest emotional political posts online may backfire, making audiences question authenticity, instead of feeling empathy.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
“Fear Factor: House of Fear” host Johnny Knoxville, of “Jackass” fame, has willingly endured being rammed by a bull, stood behind a jet engine, and volunteered to get bit by an anaconda in a child ballpit. But he revealed during the Deadline Contenders TV panel the thing that scared him most about hosting season 1. Quote: “Snakes, fine; spiders, fine. I don’t care about heights. But the communal bathrooms in the house, it gives me anxiety. I don’t want to live with 14 people and have to share a bathroom.” Knoxville said that’s what gives him “real fear”, and he’d rather “go out in the woods”.
Johnny Knoxville and the “Jackass” gang are giving it one last go. Paramount Pictures released a trailer for “Jackass: Best and Last”, the 5th and final entry in Knoxville’s long-running series of cult favorite comedy and stunt performance movies. The new film features a mixture of archival footage from the series’ fan-favorite moments, and new stunts, including the use of a 2-legged robot for a prostate exam. Jackass: Best and Last hits theaters June 26. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3thjb9rn

A survey says that nearly 15% of people have a nude photo of themselves on their phone.
Imagine being able to change your smartphone battery — yourself! Starting in 2027, the European Union will require phone makers to design devices with batteries that are easier for users to replace, as part of a broader push for sustainability and repairability. The rule doesn’t necessarily mean a return to old-school pop-out batteries, but devices must allow removal without specialized tools – unless those tools are included. The law applies mainly in the EU, though global devices may also be affected. It could also extend beyond phones to gadgets like tablets and smart glasses. But one caveat: Some companies, like Apple, may be exempt if their batteries meet strict longevity standards. Overall, experts see the move as a win for consumers…and for the environment.

WEIRD NEWS
Japan has introduced a new label for dangerously high temperatures. “Kokusho-bi,” Japanese for the term “cruelly hot”, is being used to refer to days reaching 40°C (104°F) and above. The Japan Meteorological Agency says the term is meant to better warn people as extreme heat becomes more common. The move follows Japan’s hottest summer on record in 2023, part of a global warming trend. The name was chosen after a public survey of nearly 500,000 people, beating out options like “super-extremely hot”, “sauna day”, “stay-at-home day”, and “boiling day”.
