A 26-year-old man has claimed that he was dating a girl for four years thinking that she was 27-year-old - but later found that she was actually ... 48-year-old. Although, the case might end you up wondering about her skincare secret, here's a serious question the man now struggles with: Should I break up with her?&nbsp;
The man, who shared his story on the social media platform Reddit anonymously, said that the woman lied about her age throughout the four years of their relationship. He claimed that he never doubted that she was not 27 because she looks 27!&nbsp;

He came to know about the lie after finding the passport of the woman, where her date of birth was mentioned as 1977 and not 1998 as she claimed to him.&nbsp;
"I am a 26-year-old guy, I've been dating my girlfriend for 4 years now, and she always claimed to be born in April '98, just to find out a picture of her passport in her laptop, which is '77," the man wrote on Reddit.&nbsp;
"I never suspected anything because to me she actually looks like she is 27 instead of 48, however there has been a few red flags during our time together that I chose to ignore since I was inexperienced ( it is my first long term relationship)," the man further said.&nbsp;

He claimed that the woman was "very obsessed about her skin, and appearence in general". "All her friends are significantly older than 27. most of them in their late 30 or early 40. However I never had the chance to meet any of them, despite me introducing her to all my friends and parents," the man added.&nbsp;
He claimed that every time he asked to see any of her documents or IDs, she used to avoid showing him by giving silly reasons.&nbsp;
What was more head-turning in his claim was that he found a picture of a positive pregnancy test on her laptop that was "just 3-4 months" before he met her. But "she was never pregnant".

A man utilized an AI bot to apply for 1,000 jobs, resulting in 50 interviews—all while he was asleep. He shared his experience on Reddit's "Get Employed" forum, detailing how the bot analyzes candidate information, reviews job descriptions, creates tailored CVs and cover letters, answers recruiters' questions, and applies for jobs automatically.

New Delhi 
A Reddit post by a graduate of an "Old IIT" earning ₹55 Lakh per annum ($65k) sparked debate online. The user wrote telling students to give higher priority to the college name rather than the study branch. 
The user shared their experience saying they opted for a "low" branch of study at IIT Madras rather than taking a CS seat at IIT Bhilai. 
"If you think stream matters more than the institute in a place like India, good luck convincing yourself of that. Many of you love to preach: 'Take CS anywhere, it's the branch that matters, not the college'. Let me stop you right there. I'm making ₹55 LAP today, not because I followed that tired advice, but because I chose a low-branch in an old IIT over CS in a shiny new one," the user wrote in the post. 
The post further claimed they took the "non cool" branch because they "knew the truth that brand trumps branch".

A customer has accused Swiggy Instamart of a ‘scam’ for delivering underweight vegetables. The incident came to light when the customer weighed the vegetables using a scale and shared his experience on Reddit.

The image shared by the user on Reddit shows that the cauliflower he received from Swiggy Instamart weighed 145 grams only, while the vegetable weight on the app is listed as between 400-600 grams. Upon checking the weight of other vegetables, the customer found that most vegetables he ordered were underweight.

When the customer raised the issue with the customer support of Swiggy, he did not receive a satisfactory response as the Swiggy Instamart representatives offered him a partial refund.

“I have a digital scale. Got underweight products,” a user said, sharing their experience with Swiggy Instamart. “Same story gave me a 50% refund and I agreed. Then I realised, what about the others who don't have a scale? How widespread this practice is?”

“Think about how many orders they deliver every single day and how often they underweight stuff compared to what’s printed on the stickers. It’s not some innocent mistake; it’s a system,” a user commented on the post.

Another agreed, “This should be a direct consumer court case, they should be fined and you can follow the case with cheating.”

<h2>Swiggy's response to the incident</h2>

In response to the incident, Swiggy has issued a statement: “At Swiggy Instamart, merchants undergo a thorough vetting process before they are onboarded, which includes verifying certifications such as FSSAI. Once onboarded, they are mandated to ensure that all supplies are subjected to rigorous quality checks and any shipment that doesn’t meet the criteria is completely rejected.”

“This particular instance is an anomaly by the merchant, and we are investigating how it happened. We take customer feedback seriously, and the issue has been resolved with the customer. Customer trust is our top priority, and we remain fully committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency to ensure such instances do not occur,”&nbsp;said a Swiggy Instamart spokesperson.

Got underweight products,” a user said, sharing their experience with Swiggy Instamart. “Same story gave me a 50% refund and I agreed. Then I realised, what about the others who don't have a scale? How widespread this practice is?” “Think about how many orders they deliver every single day and how often they underweight stuff compared to what’s printed on the stickers. It’s not some innocent mistake; it’s a system,” a user commented on the post. Another agreed, “This should be a direct consumer court case, they should be fined and you can follow the case with cheating.” Swiggy's response to the incident In response to the incident, Swiggy has issued a statement: “At Swiggy Instamart, merchants undergo a thorough vetting process before they are onboarded, which includes verifying certifications such as FSSAI. Once onboarded, they are mandated to ensure that all supplies are subjected to rigorous quality checks and any shipment that doesn’t meet the criteria is completely rejected.” “This particular instance is an anomaly by the merchant, and we are investigating how it happened. We take customer feedback seriously, and the issue has been resolved with the customer. Customer trust is our top priority, and we remain fully committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency to ensure such instances do not occur,” said a Swiggy Instamart spokesperson.

CEO fires 99 employees over Slack for not attending meeting

In a strange move, a woman expressed her wish to divorce her husband over his "simple" habit of asking too many questions because she could not cope with it.&nbsp;

Taking to the Two Hot Takes forum on Reddit, the woman asked if she would be wrong to divorce her husband after spending 25 years with him because he “asks too many questions”.

The woman said that she “always thought” their “relationship was great” and if any problems arose it was her fault because she saw her husband as a “very smart, sweet, generous, and caring man”.

However, the problems arose when they argued over something&nbsp;and the husband remained “calm and rational” while the woman said she “finds herself at a loss to argue for or defend her position”.

The woman said that this happened because her husband asks “a lot of questions - about everything, especially when he doesn’t like something or feels it could have been done better”.&nbsp;

“I think this is really annoying and frustrating. He says he is ‘just trying to understand’, but it often feels like he is trying to get me to understand how ridiculous whatever I did was. This feels belittling. The best way to describe it is he speaks to me like a parent speaking to a child and trying to get them to understand what they did wrong," said the woman.&nbsp;

Explaining her husband's actions, the wife said that he asks questions like “Why didn’t you do that earlier?” and “Do you think that is the best thing to be doing right now?”&nbsp;

Woman expresses wish to divorce husband after 25 years because he 'asks too many questions'

A man from Montreal, Canada, is filing a lawsuit against social networking platforms YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok claiming that they cause addiction and have a negative impact on mental health, as per CTV News.&nbsp;

The 24-year-old man said that he began utilising social media in 2015 and since then, started experiencing numerous problems with body image and productivity. As per the lawsuit, his utilisation time of social networking sites was up to four hours, but he has now cut that down to two hours a day. Philippe Brault from Lambert Avocats, the law firm representing the man said, "He still finds that it has an effect on his productivity and his sleep.”

Brault added, "In 2024, it's estimated that humanity as a whole will be using social media for a total of 500 million years." He mentioned that the firm took this case because it is an ever-growing problem for everyone. He highlighted that 52 per cent of children in Canada between the ages of seven and eleven use social media.&nbsp;

The aim of the case is to recover these punitive damages for the purportedly careless platform designs of social media companies. Brault also highlighted that platform owners should prioritise the safety and health of their users.&nbsp;

The design of these social media platforms exploits the psychological weaknesses of their users, leading to extended engagements that negatively impact the user's daily lives.

Canada man sues social networking sites Meta, TikTok, and Reddit for being addictive

A Virginia man baffled the internet after claiming that he almost swallowed a nose ring when he bit into something sharp while eating from Taco Bell. Jeremy, 33, told Newsweek he had ordered two steak cheesy street chalupas takeout from the food chain on July 24. When only a few bites left, he felt "something sharp" stuck at the back of his throat.

After clearing it from his throat, Jeremy tried to bite into it again, only for it to get wedged between his molars. He spat the object out when he felt a sharp pain and realised he had nearly swallowed someone's nose piercing.

"The nose ring, now slightly bent from the bite, got pushed to the front of my mouth, and I spit it out. It took a small bit of my filling with it, and [I felt] a small sharp pain from the bite," he said.

"I decided to share it online because I thought it was so egregious that others would like to see it," Jeremy told Newsweek.

He reached out to the local branch of Taco Bell right after finding the nose ring in his takeout order. The manager appeared "mostly unbothered" and stated that the article couldn't have come from their store kitchen, not taking any responsibility.

"I just wish the manager had a bit more integrity and would take responsibility for this. It very clearly was an employee who made a mistake, but instead, they used the rhetoric that it wasn't their fault. But who else could it be? If not the store, then the distribution centre, maybe, but that's less believable to me," Jeremy said.

Jeremy added that he "felt sick for two days" and still has a sore throat. He believes the most Taco Bell would do is offer him coupons or gift cards.

"There's no accountability, and no reason I'd want free tacos for mental and physical pain, no matter how small," he said.

In a statement to Newsweek, Taco Bell said, "We take this very seriously. We are looking into this matter and strive to make things right with the customer."

US: Virginia man feels sharp pain while eating Taco Bell, nearly swallows a nose ring

Humans have long&nbsp;been invested in the possibility of the existence of aliens or any other life forms outside our&nbsp;planet.&nbsp;Many conspiracy theories, some backed by scientists, have made&nbsp;rounds over the internet in the past.

In&nbsp;this series, a new theory has popped up (with no concrete evidence)- that there is extraterrestrial life out there, which is trying to land on Earth but a natural barrier is preventing them from doing so, a Reddit user claimed. &nbsp;

Delores Cannon’s book The Custodians: Beyond Abduction is about UFO abductions and the law of one which is said to be a telepathic conversation with an alien entity. The book also talks&nbsp;about the phenomenon of UFOs from simple to complex, discovering areas untouched by other investigators.

The Reddit post stirred up a storm of reactions from netizens, as many users praised this claim and the sources shared&nbsp;that some have described it as a barrier as well as a means of limiting humans.

One user remarked, “The writing is surprisingly accurate. As a species, we defend our territory, so the idea that Earth is protected by a more advanced intelligence is a compelling interpretation of the evidence.”

Another countered, “I believe there’s a barrier, but it’s not a protective one. It’s a quarantine to keep us in.”

The Reddit post reignited interest and debate around one of the most intriguing topics for commoners and scientists alike.&nbsp;

A recent paper from researchers at Harvard suggested that aliens might already be on Earth, potentially living underground or on the Moon.

The study, which explores unconventional hypotheses, posits that these beings, referred to as "cryptoterrestrials," could be either descendants of ancient civilizations or evolved intelligent species hiding in plain sight.

As technology advances and our methods of exploration improve, we may one day uncover the truth behind these mysteries, bringing us closer to answering the age-old quest.

The Reddit post stirred up a storm of reactions from netizens, as many users praised this claim and the sources shared that some have described it as a barrier as well as a means of limiting humans.

Aliens trying communicating to humans, keep getting blocked by mysterious Earth barrier, claims Reddit user

Social media company Reddit made a spectacular stock market debut on March 21, with its stock gaining 48 per cent on listing day. The much-anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO) valued Reddit at $6.4 billion and helped the company raise $748 million from the market.

Analysts now argue that Reddit's bumper IPO and listing could renew interest in public offerings by tech firms, who have struggled to raise funds this year.

Reddit's recent stock surge, however, is not really in line with market expectations. The reasons are not difficult to find.

Reddit has been a loss-making entity since its launch in 2005. In its recent public disclosure, the company reported a net loss of $90.8 million, even as revenue grew 21 per cent last year.

The social media platform does not have a large user base, unlike its contemporaries like Meta and X (former Twitter). Its total monthly active users - 267.5 million in 2023 --&nbsp;dwarfs in front of Facebook (3.049 billion), Instagram (2 billion), or X (619 million).

Analysts have compared its share surge to the 2021 'meme stock' craze, which interestingly began on 'WallStreetBets', a stock market discussion forum&nbsp;on Reddit.&nbsp;&nbsp;

'Meme stocks' are ones that are widely discussed on social media, leading to a quick surge in the valuation of such stocks. However, their high valuations are not in line with company's performance or fundamental analysis. Such stocks are also considered highly volatile and risky for investors.

In early 2021, the Reddit group began discussing about GameStop, the world's largest video game retailer. Some users had received information that some big hedge funds were looking to short the company's stock. In simple terms, short sellers look to make a profit out of a declining stock.

Initially, the forum's participants, mostly small retail investors, wanted to join the big short sellers and make money. However, the discussion soon veered towards beating the big hedge funds in their own game.

Thus, began the 'GameStop short squeeze'. By January 28, GameStop's stock price rose to over $500 per share, after standing at just $17.25 in early&nbsp;January.&nbsp;

The 2,800 per cent jump in the stock price helped small investor earn massive profits. But bigger hedge funds, who anticipated a fall in price, suffered huge losses.

GameStop, a company dubbed as a 'dying relic' for failing to adapt to the changing times, suddenly became the world's first 'meme stock'. In the process, the company became the focal point of a Robinhood-like campaign against top hedge funds.

Now, life has come to a full circle for Reddit. The progenitor of the 'meme stock' could soon join the phenomenon.&nbsp;

Flashback Friday | How a Reddit community triggered the 'meme stock' phenomenon 

Social media company Reddit had a bumper debut on the New York Stock Exchange. Its stocks rose by 48% on the first day of trading, banking on the rally in the tech sector. But what's in store for the company in the future? And what does the bumper debut tell us about U.S. IPOs.

Reddit's bumper debut signals revival of tech IPOs

In a significant development for the technology IPO market, social media giant Reddit has priced its initial public offering (IPO) at the pinnacle of its indicated range, raising a staggering $748 million. <o:p></o:p>

The IPO saw Reddit and its existing shareholders sell 22 million shares at $34 per share, catapulting the platform's valuation to approximately $6.4 billion. <o:p></o:p>

Notably, Reddit allocated 8 per cent of the total shares to retail investors, eligible users, moderators, certain board members, and associates of its employees and directors.<o:p></o:p>

The top-tier pricing marks a strategic manoeuvre by Reddit, which adjusted its valuation expectations downward following a $10 billion valuation in a private fundraising round in 2021. <o:p></o:p>

This move is indicative of Reddit's ambition to tap into the buoyant investor sentiment while consolidating its position in the competitive social media landscape. <o:p></o:p>

The IPO's success serves as a much-needed catalyst for the tech IPO market, which has witnessed subdued activity in recent years.<o:p></o:p>

Despite its loyal user base, Reddit has grappled with financial losses since its inception in 2005, lagging behind peers such as Meta Platforms' Facebook and Twitter in commercial profitability. <o:p></o:p>

The platform's emphasis on niche topics and its relatively lax approach to content moderation have posed challenges in attracting advertisers, prompting Reddit to explore alternative revenue streams. <o:p></o:p>

Notably, Reddit ventured into providing artificial intelligence training data to tech behemoth Alphabet's Google in a lucrative $66 million contract unveiled earlier this year.<o:p></o:p>

However, Reddit's foray into AI training data provision has not been devoid of controversy, with the US Federal Trade Commission launching an inquiry into the company's practices concerning the sale, licensing, and sharing of user-generated content with third parties for AI model training. <o:p></o:p>

This scrutiny highlights the complexities inherent in Reddit's operations, which heavily rely on volunteer moderators from its user base to curate content across its 100,000 online forums, or "subreddits". <o:p></o:p>

Renowned for its influential communities, Reddit gained widespread attention during the "meme-stock" frenzy of 2021, wherein retail investors collaborated on Reddit's "wallstreetbets" forum to orchestrate stock surges in companies like GameStop. <o:p></o:p>

Despite challenges, Reddit remains a formidable force in the digital realm, boasting an average of 73.1 million daily active users as of the three months that ended December 31, 2023. <o:p></o:p>

With shares slated to commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol 'RDDT,' Reddit's IPO marks a significant milestone in its evolution as a key player in the social media landscape.<o:p></o:p>

Reddit IPO hits high note, raises $748 million with top-end pricing: Report

Reddit has priced its initial public offering in the range of $31 to $34 per share. This has helped the social media platform raise $748 million from the markets. Reddit's shares will start trading on the New York stock exchange on Thursday. Watch to know more!

Reddit prices initial public offering between $31 & $34 per share

Social media platform reddit is experiencing a surge of investor interest ahead of its initial public offering. Early reports indicate the IPO is oversubscribed by a factor of four to five, meaning demand for shares significantly outstrips the available supply. This strong interest could push reddit's valuation to its target of $6.5 billion, despite the company not yet turning a profit.

Reddit IPO sees 4-5x oversubscription, eyes $6.5 billion valuation

Reddit's highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO) is generating significant investor interest, with sources revealing that it is currently between four and five times oversubscribed. <o:p></o:p>

This surge in demand positions the social media platform to potentially achieve its targeted $6.5 billion valuation, signalling a strong market reception despite Reddit's history of financial losses. <o:p></o:p>

The IPO, scheduled to be priced in New York on Wednesday, aims to raise as much as $748 million, representing a pivotal moment for the company as it transitions to a publicly traded entity.<o:p></o:p>

While the oversubscription does not guarantee a soaring stock market debut, it suggests that Reddit is on track to meet its price range of $31-34 per share. <o:p></o:p>

According to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter have indicated that the marketing efforts for the IPO are ongoing, indicating the heightened anticipation surrounding Reddit's public listing. <o:p></o:p>

However, a Reddit spokesperson declined to comment on the latest developments, citing confidentiality.<o:p></o:p>

Reddit, founded in 2005, has cultivated a loyal user base over the years, with its platform hosting a diverse array of discussions across its 100,000 online forums, known as "subreddits." <o:p></o:p>

Despite its popularity, the company has faced challenges in monetising its platform and achieving profitability, trailing behind industry giants like Meta Platforms' Facebook and Twitter. <o:p></o:p>

The platform's unique focus on niche topics and its decentralised approach to content moderation have been points of contention, particularly among advertisers.<o:p></o:p>

Steve Huffman, Reddit's co-founder and chief executive, has emphasised the platform's vibrant and diverse communities, spanning from lighthearted memes to profound discussions on existential topics. <o:p></o:p>

Notably, Reddit gained widespread attention in 2021 during the "meme-stock" frenzy when retail investors coordinated on the "wallstreetbets" subreddit to drive up the prices of heavily shorted stocks, including GameStop.<o:p></o:p>

To engage retail investors and foster a sense of community ownership, Reddit has allocated 8 per cent of the total shares available for eligible users, moderators, board members, and select individuals associated with the company. <o:p></o:p>

This inclusive approach reflects Reddit's commitment to its user-driven ethos and aims to strengthen its connection with the community as it embarks on its IPO journey.<o:p></o:p>

Despite Reddit's financial losses, the platform boasts impressive user engagement, with an average of 73.1 million daily active "uniques" in the final quarter of 2023, according to regulatory filings. <o:p></o:p>

Social media platform Reddit is eyeing a valuation of up to $6.5 billion in its initial public offering or IPO. But this figure is far less than the $10 billion valuation in 2021.

Social media platform seeks valuation of $6.5 billion via IPO

In the fast-paced world of social media, where every frustration finds a platform, one Reddit user has ignited a firestorm by sharing their jaw-dropping resignation tale. Under the handle CrazieIrish, the user revealed how they took a stand against workplace toxicity by quitting on the spot after their boss dropped a F-bomb.

Detailing the dramatic encounter, the Redditor disclosed, "Work from home. I had to call him for support of a new computer to get access. He was not happy I hadn't set up the computer in my free time to get it ready. Told me to fuck off when I said I wasn't doing it for free. Told him I quit as soon as he told me to fuck off for the last time."

This move swiftly made waves on the internet, amassing over 31,000 upvotes within a mere 12 hours. Netizens flooded the comments section with a mix of support and amusement.

Voices of empathy and solidarity with the employee also emerged in the comments section.

In my ideal situation, they are screwed with my departure."

"Well yeah there's no fall out because they don't care, just gonna pull up the resumes on file and replace you," yet another user commented. "Mature, level-headed people don’t send emails like this from an Xbox and then take a picture up post on Reddit," said one user.&nbsp;
