Sharktapus, Loyalty Tests, and Instacart’s Second Stop

The Headlines:

• Sharktapus Is Trending—But It’s Not What You Think

• People Are Now Hiring “Loyalty Testers” to Catch Cheaters

Sharktapus? Nope—Just an Octopus Riding a Shark

Social media is buzzing about Sharktapus this morning, but it’s not some terrifying new hybrid species. Instead, it’s an octopus casually riding on the back of a shark.

Researchers from the University of Auckland spotted the unusual duo off the coast of New Zealand’s Kawau Island in December 2023. But it wasn’t until biologist Professor Rochelle Constantine published an article last week that public interest exploded. The footage has since gone viral, leaving people both fascinated and amused.

Loyalty Testing Services Are on the Rise

If you feel the need to “test” your partner’s loyalty, there’s now a whole industry for that. Services like Loyalty-Test.com are helping suspicious partners find out if their significant other is faithful—or not.

Customers pick a package, and a hired “tester” slides into their partner’s DMs to see if they take the bait. About 20% fail, and most clients are women. But let’s be real—if you’re paying someone to test your partner, the trust might already be broken.

Instacart’s New Feature Helps Find Out-of-Stock Items

Ever been frustrated when an Instacart shopper says your must-have item is out of stock? The grocery delivery service is rolling out Second Store Check, a feature that recruits a second shopper to find missing items at a different store.

If your original shopper can’t find an item, another worker at a nearby location gets an automatic prompt to check their store. The goal? To eliminate those annoying out-of-stock moments and keep your fridge stocked exactly how you want it.
