SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Gen Z workers are apparently feeling under the weather—whether they’re actually sick or not. A new survey of more than 2,000 workers (in the UK) found that about 80% of those under 29 admitted to calling in sick at least once in the past year – in spite of the fact that they were well enough to work. That compares with roughly 40% of workers aged 55-64. Among younger workers, common reasons included exhaustion, burnout, job interviews and hangovers. Nearly 40% of workers under 25 said they had taken at least 5 sick days in the past year. The findings suggest younger employees may have a very different attitude toward work-life balance.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
With only 6 hours of exclusivity before it hit YouTube, Netflix’s “Grand Theft Auto 6” extended look became the streamer’s most-viewed title last week. The 27-minute “GTAVI” special drew 31.1 million views. The extended look at the highly anticipated Rockstar Games title, which marks an entirely new category of entertainment for Netflix, was classified under the English-language film list for the week. It was #1 on that list in 87 of 93 countries that Netflix tracks globally.
Gal Gadot has defended her decision to star in an AI-assisted film, saying actors will have to learn to work with the technology or risk being “out of the game completely”. Gadot’s upcoming film “Bitcoin” was shot over 20 days on a custom-built soundstage, with AI-created sets and lighting that would otherwise have required conventional locations and physical production. Gadot also made it clear that returning as ‘Wonder Woman’ “doesn’t work” with her “life anymore at this point”.

OF THE DAY
Most people go to Canada’s Wonderland for thrills, but Ryan Zeitz goes there to work. For over a year, the Toronto-area comedian has been bringing his laptop to the Toronto-area theme park, spending the day in its VIP lounge writing jokes and editing videos — before eventually hitting the rides. After buying a $99 Gold Pass that included parking, Zeitz and his partner also added dining and drink plans. As someone with ADHD, Zeitz says working around other people helps him focus. And since he’d already prepaid for food and drinks, Wonderland became a surprisingly affordable office.
A new study has found that teens are using beauty products at surprisingly high rates. The research, conducted in New Jersey, found girls use about 14 products a day – roughly the same number as adult women. Boys use about half that. Social media appears to play a role: teens who followed influencers with product lines used 30% more products, while those who watched beauty tutorials used 40% more. Yet fewer than 1 in 5 regularly checked ingredient labels, and almost none used safety apps. Researchers say teens may be especially vulnerable to chemicals in personal care products during puberty.

WEIRD NEWS
Scientists have developed a cookie made out of…plastic waste. Called “µBites” (Pron: “Microbites”), the experimental treats are designed to turn PET plastic and agricultural waste into edible ingredients using heat, pressure, water and specially engineered yeast. The yeast can produce proteins, fats, vitamins, flavors and even vanilla-like compounds. The idea was developed through NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge and could eventually provide food in extreme environments such as deserts, submarines – or even Mars. Don’t expect these cookies at your local bakery just yet, though.
