Burger Pass Chaos, Robot Marathons, and the Human-Robot Rivalry Heats Up

• Humanoid Tech Race: China vs. The West

Red Robin Passes Sell Out Faster Than Taylor Swift Tickets

It’s official: America loves burgers more than concerts. Red Robin's Bottomless Burger Passes—$20 for a daily burger and bottomless sides through May—sold out instantly and created chaos in the process.

Fans reported website crashes, errors, and even being charged $682, which is the full promo value for the month. Those accidental charges were quickly refunded, but the chaos still made the burger run feel more like a Black Friday brawl. One customer joked: "It was literally easier to get Taylor Swift tickets."

China Hosts First Humanoid Robot Half-Marathon

More than 20 two-legged humanoid robots lined up in China for the world’s first humanoid half-marathon, a futuristic flex of tech that was more adorable clunky chaos than Terminator-style takeover.

Built by university teams and tech firms, these bots jogged, stumbled, and waddled their way through the race, which was more about showcasing China's growing ambition in humanoid robotics than actual speed.

The winning team’s robot may not have broken any human records, but its creators claim it's on par with U.S. models—setting up a global robot race that Elon Musk believes could be a $10 trillion business.
