Here's what everyone’s been talking about this week on social media.

The past week had several moments that drew people’s attention and set off conversations online. Here are some conversations, memes, and trends that caught our attention

Conversations 

Doja Cat makes headlines after biting into a lipstick at the VMAs

Doja Cat knows how to keep the internet talking, and her appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards was no exception. While walking the red carpet, she pulled out a tube of red lipstick for a quick touch-up and then stunned everyone by taking a bite out of it. In true Doja Cat style, the moment wasn’t random at all. It turned out to be the reveal of her new partnership with M·A·C, with the spotlight on one of her favorite shades.

Karan Aujla brings Punjabi energy to the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon

Punjabi singer Karan Aujla marked a special moment by performing for the very first time on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Showcasing tracks from his latest album P-Pop Culture, he brought his signature energy and global Punjabi sound to the stage. But while the music was a highlight in itself, what really had fans talking was a light-hearted moment when Aujla introduced Jimmy Fallon to a few classic Bhangra steps. Watching Fallon try his hand at the traditional Punjabi dance quickly turned into a viral conversation, with fans celebrating the way Aujla carried his culture onto such a global platform.

Memes and trends

Nano Banana trend 

The latest AI trend catching people’s attention online is called the “Nano Banana”, a feature powered by Google’s Gemini. It lets users turn a simple photo and a short text prompt into tiny 3D figurines that look like collectible toys.

The figurines come with mock packaging, acrylic-style bases, and detailed box designs, making them look surprisingly realistic. Because it doesn’t need special skills or payments, many people have been trying it out with photos of themselves, celebrities, and even pets, and the results are quickly being shared across social media.

Retro Photoshoots 

Well, that’s not the only AI-generated picture trend we saw this week. A lot of people have been using AI to imagine their photos as retro photoshoots. It’s basically a way of seeing yourself in a completely different era, and people are loving how real the edits look.

Mirror selfie flip challenge 

A new challenge has been making the rounds on social media, centered on the simple act of taking a mirror selfie with a twist. Instead of standing still, people are attempting to flip their bodies while the picture is being taken. The result is a mix of playful experiments, successful poses, and awkward attempts that often end up being just as entertaining to viewers.

Some manage to pull it off with clean, gymnastic-like moves, while others end up with funny, half-turned poses that are just as widely shared. For many, the appeal lies in trying something unusual with an everyday mirror selfie, turning a routine photo into a playful challenge that’s now spreading fast online.

Best friended so hard that …..

We all have that one ride-or-die friend we share all our mischiefs with, someone so close that people assume we are in everything together. There’s a fun trend going around where people describe their bond by saying ‘best friends so hard that…’ and then finishing the sentence with a habit or quirk they share.
