Here's a roundup of interesting things that got people talking on social media this week.

Last week gave the internet plenty to obsess over, from fun trends to major pop culture moments. Here’s a quick look at what dominated online conversations.

Conversations: 

Trump and Mamdani’s unexpected exchange took over the internet

What many assumed would be a heated political confrontation between US President Donald Trump and New York City’s newly elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani, instead turned into an awkwardly civil moment that the internet instantly latched onto. After weeks of harsh campaign language, watching the two stand together and trade unexpectedly polite remarks caught people off guard. Social media went into overdrive, with users replaying the clip, questioning the sudden shift in tone, and turning the entire interaction into one of the week’s most persistent conversations online.

Rumours of Pope Leo XIV hosting a rave party

This week, social media was flooded with posts claiming that Pope Leo XIV hosted a rave outside St. Elisabeth Cathedral in Košice, but the viral story didn’t match reality. The event was actually an electronic music gathering organised by the Archdiocese of Košice as part of the Jubilee of Young People, with Portuguese priest-DJ Father Guilherme Peixoto performing. Pope Leo XIV was not present at the venue and did not “throw a rave”; he appeared only on LED screens to greet attendees and offer his blessing.

Memes and Trends 

Nonchalant lift trend 

If you’re the type who never panics about elevator doors closing, you might enjoy this new trend where people show off their smoothest ways of getting into a lift. It’s a fun challenge to try with friends and see who has the most style or “rizz.”

Fans turn ticket splurges into a funny concert trend

People have been sharing concert clips set to cartoonish background music, captioning them as “me seeing my money (spent on buying tickets to get here) jump on stage.” Fans are having fun with the trend.


Users are recounting their funniest awkward encounters online

There’s a trend where people are sharing and reflecting on silly or awkward encounters they’ve experienced themselves or witnessed with others.


In your 20s…..

We all know how confusing your early twenties can be, always hearing advice, overthinking every decision, and worrying about what might go wrong. There’s a heartwarming trend where people share things like, “In your early 20s, someone might tell you to do this, or you’ll get an urge to try that.” The message is simple. Listen to those nudges, take chances, and live a little while you can. This is the time to take risks before life gets too predictable.


Where is my husband! 

We’ve all been grooving to Raye’s song Where Is My Husband all week, and we’re not the only ones. The track has led to a trend where people share funny and relatable moments about how complicated modern dating can be.
