Running Swagger, Creepy Dino Toy, & Sneakerina Hype

The Headlines:

• 2% of People Think They Can Outrun a Horse

• AI-Powered Dino Plush Is Listening to Your Kids

• “Sneakerinas” Are the Next Big Thing

The Confidence? Wild. The Science? Not So Much.

A new “Running Swagger” poll asked 2,000 people which animals they thought they could beat in a sprint—and the delusion is STRONG.

• 2% think they could outrun a horse in a 100-meter dash. (Reminder: Horses hit over 40 mph. Usain Bolt tapped out at 28 mph.)

• 27% think they could outrun a crocodile. (They run up to 10 mph—so maybe, maybe, you’ve got a shot.)

• 20% believe they could beat an elephant. (Good luck with that. They can run 25 mph.)

• 11% are convinced they can outsprint a house cat… for 30 feet. (Bold. Very bold.)

Sometimes, confidence is the real winner.

Dino the AI Plush is Cute… and Kinda Creepy

Say hello to Dino—a $249 plush dinosaur with a built-in AI chatbot that listens to your kid’s every word. It’s being marketed as a “screen-free companion,” but let’s be honest: It’s a soft, cuddly surveillance device.

Made by Magical Toys, Dino connects to an app where parents can eavesdrop, review conversations, and see insights about their child. It tells stories, plays games, and promises to “boost creativity”… but also records everything.

So… bedtime stories and Big Brother in one huggable package.
