@modelmusephoto w/ @juliasheahamilton   Gen Zers Hilariously Try to Explain to Other Generations What Makes Them Laugh Key word: Try. Bless these young folks, but even in their attempt to explain the humor, we’re still scratching our heads. But everyone, just go with it, okay? Let’s all pretend like we get it. When young people show you a meme, all you have to do is nod your head slightly, smirk, and breathe out through your nose hard enough so it makes a fffffffff sound. That’s their version of laughing.  Ready to test it out, Dear Riders?   The Powerhouse EDC Knife That’s Shockingly Lightweight [Partner]  Kershaw is an Oregon-based knife maker, loved and respected for their long history of creating quality knives. One of their most beloved EDC models? The Covalent. And now, it’s available in a limited edition Carbon Fiber model, which gives it a shockingly lightweight feel. Easily handle the folder and deploy it using a flipper on the manual KVT ball bearings for extra smoothness. Plus, the strong DuraLock system secures the sharp, long-lasting blade in place using a solid steel crossbar. It’s a knife you have to feel to believe.  Usually $299.99, it’s yours for $189.99.   SHOP NOW   The 10 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Movie Scenes of All Time There’s nothing funny about Tom Cruise sprinting in Mission: Impossible. His form is perfect. His speed is insane. And he wears a suit while doing it. It’s so serious, it’s objectively hilarious. No offense to any of these movies. We love Mission: Impossible. But if you can pull yourself out of the movie, and think about making the movie, it’s just funny.  Wonder if Gen Z thinks these are funny, too?   Each State’s Most Searched-For Summer Travel Destination in 2025 We’re not totally sure why we should know this, but we’re glad we do. The fact that we have this sentence at the ready pleases us: “Many Iowans are considering Belgium this year.” Again, no idea when or where this will come in handy, but we just feel like it will.  Where you going?   This Is Why You’re Afraid of the Woods at Night Because there’s no Wi-Fi out there. Because what if a flesh-eating spider crawls into our sleeping bag. Because we’ve seen way too much true crime. Because we’ll have to get up in the middle of the night to pee, and the path back to the tent will be illuminated by a pale moon, and we’ll trip on a rock or branch or something and tumble off a cliff. We know why we’re afraid of the woods at night.  Do you? (Outside🔺)   The Mixer California’s new slang. The only laundry setting you really need. The mind-blowing engineering of a 13th century clock controlled entirely by water. The rise of vibe coding. Sword swallowing, the shocking circus act that can quickly turn deadly. The seven albums🔺 that created modern stand-up comedy. How to age meat safely at home. Luxury accessories without the fuss (or absurd price).* *Partner     /GTFO @boterolorenzo | St Moritz     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
