Fishermen Thought The Crocodile Was Dead. They Were Very, Very Wrong
Last Updated: The clip shows a group of fishermen on a boat who spot what appears to be a "dead" crocodile floating near the surface. A video currently going viral on social media serves as a chilling reminder of two golden rules of the wild: if it looks dead, don't touch it—and if it's a crocodile, definitely don't touch it. The clip features a group of fishermen out on a boat who notice something floating near the surface of the water. It appears to be a crocodile, completely still. Assuming it's dead, they let their curiosity get the better of them. What happens next delivers a terrifying jump scare and a stark lesson in underestimating nature. Now, most people would steer clear (you know, like sane people). But these men lean in for a closer look. One fisherman stretches out his hand and grips the predator's tail. There is no movement. So, another decides to take things up to the next level and pokes it with a stick. Moments later, they realise just how big a mistake that was. With zero warning, the crocodile jumps. The sudden movement is so quick and unexpected, the video could give anyone a solid jump scare. You can actually hear the scream and panic from the fishermen. Take a look at the video here: The video became a viral sensation as it accumulated more than eight million views. In the comment section, users couldn't stop talking about how they knew the crocodile was alive but still ended up with goosebumps. One user commented, 'How I knew it and still flinched." Another added, 'I knew he wasn't dead, if they are belly up they are usually dead." 'This the first video on Instagram that made me jump even though I knew it was gonna happen," someone else remarked. A viewer jokingly wrote, 'My entire body just took a screenshot." 'I haven't got jump scare in a while and this s*** got me," read another comment. One viewer even dropped a suggestion, writing, 'Unless you killed it, best assume it's still alive." A person said, 'Imagine minding your business and somebody pokes your face with a stick." 'Jump scare level: 100," 'My soul left my body," 'My phone went across the room" and 'Mini heart attack" were some other remarks that showed the sheer panic the video has caused. So, next time you spot a 'dead" crocodile, you definitely know what not to do.

'All those TikToks, but can't lip-sync properly': Addison Rae slammed for awkward lip-sync fail during Diet Pepsi live performance
Addison Rae is one of the few TikTok stars who've successfully crossed over into mainstream fame, and her recently released self-titled album, Addison, marks a major step in that journey. While the project has been gaining traction, a viral video of her performing—some say lip-syncing—her pre-released track, Diet Pepsi, has sparked online criticism, despite the song's massive popularity. Addison Rae dragged for lip-sync fail at Spotify event The video, dated June 6, shows Addison performing Diet Pepsi live at her Spotify event in New York City. Dressed in a white knotted crop top and denim shorts, she leaned into her playful side, teasing the crowd with a flirty performance. While the vibe was fun and on-brand, some fans took issue with what appeared to be lip-syncing—or rather, not syncing at all. Live vocals weren't even expected, but the mismatch still left viewers calling it unprofessional. The video has since gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), racking up over 10 million views. Many users have slammed the 24-year-old for not even doing 'the bare minimum' during a performance that marks the beginning of her music career. Addison Rae performing 'Diet Pepsi' tonight at her spotify event in NYC! One comment that gained traction summed up the frustration many viewers felt: "So singing in your head voice the entire time is talent? I can't hear her SING. Literally just sing with your chest, please, so I can hear what you sound like." The user went on to criticise the technique, arguing that relying solely on head voice isn't exactly impressive: "It's not impressive because it's actually so easy to sing in your head voice, way easier to control than your chest voice. head voice is shower singing lmao." Another user chimed in, pointing out how far the conversation has strayed from Addison's origins—and not in a flattering way: "Crazy all of this stemmed from her doing dancing TikToks and not giving credit.' "She can't even lip-sync too… Oh lord," a third user wrote, while a fourth added, "She's not even trying to pretend she's singing live." One person simply wrote, "All those TikToks, but she can't lip-sync properly????" Addison Rae scores surprising praise with Pitchfork 8.0 rating Meanwhile, Pitchfork awarded Addison Rae's new album a solid 8.0, calling it 'a very good debut' with thoughtful pop craftsmanship. Fans have been echoing the praise, noting Rae's genuine effort and artistic vision. Pitchfork gives 'Addison' by Addison Rae a score of 8.0/10. Ed Sheeran praises Addison Rae's album: 'She's a superb pop star' On June 7, Ed Sheeran gave Addison Rae a major co-sign while spinning her vinyl in an Instagram reel posted to his account, @teddysvinylbreakfast. 'So, I've got Addison Rae's album. I've been listening to her for a while,' he said, holding up the record. 'My friend Elvira, who works very closely with me on my records, did most of this album. It is bloody fantastic. I think Addison is a superb pop star. And yeah, 'Diet Pepsi' was my favourite one.' Ed Sheeran urges fans to check out Addison Rae's debut album:'It is bloody fantastic. I think Addison is a superb pop star.' He wrapped up with a casual shoutout: 'If you haven't checked out the record, go check it out.'
