Shocking "SpongeBob" Truth That Ruins Childhoods
In the words of one of the most iconic theme songs of the 21st century, "Are you ready kids?"
To sum up the realisation — Choppa put crab meat on a burger and finally understood why Mr. Krabs was gatekeeping the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. The money-hungry restaurant mogul would put his own species (crabs) into burgers to "make a killing on the expensive market-priced delicacy". Chilling stuff.
This would explain why we don't really see other crabs on the show beside the group known as the Penny Pinchers.
But it wasn't just this revelation that stunned viewers — the comments on the video were a cocktail of mind-blowing observations and sea creature knowledge that added to the further destruction of our childhoods.
Here are the comments that made us question everything:
"The Krusty Krab is literally a crab trap", so obviously that explains everything!
—TikTok/@xxladysithxx
"Squidward was so addicted to [Krabby Patties], because a cephalopod's favourite food is crab meat."
—TikTok/@chibara01
"If you remember the 'Respect Your Elders' episode, Krabs literally has a graveyard of all his family outside the Krusty Krab."
—TikTok/@graysonalexander99
"[Mr Krabs] was the only crab and when others came, they disappeared."
—TikTok/@user064382357
"I watched a four-hour deep dive into Spongebob and a theory is that the secret recipe was whale meat — when they pass they can be used as a food source to fish for decades, and Mr Krabs was saving Pearl for the next time he ran out of stock."
—TikTok/@user173869011
"Some crabs can regrow claws, so technically they are sustainable as long as you're using specific crabs."
—TikTok/@jesselazard
"Spongebob knew and helped him cover it up."
—TikTok/@somosogo
And finally, "There's an episode where Mr. Krabs finally tastes a Krabby Patty and was like, 'Hmmm...so that's what I taste like'."
—TikTok/@xxladysithxx
This entire think really makes you think — is Plankton really the villain, or is he just trying to stop injustice?

Airbnb Host's Tribute to Guest's 'Fragile Masculinity' Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A tongue-in-cheek piece of wall art spotted at an Airbnb venue has sparked laughter and debate online after a guest posted it to TikTok, where the video has garnered over 3.5 million views. Text overlaid on the video, posted on June 25 by user Fredisha Mechelle (@brittneyvsdreka), reads "POV [point of view]: The Airbnb host has a lot of humor," setting the tone for what many viewers described as both hilarious and unexpectedly artistic moment. The viral clip shows a photo frame with a large hole punctured through its cardboard center. Scrawled at the bottom in marker are the words: "Fragile Masculinity." The sign-off, "Artist Unknown 2025," hints at the humorous intention behind the piece. The video is just the latest example of how unconventional objects can spark cultural debate about what qualifies as art. In 2019, a banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $120,000 at Art Basel in Miami Beach. One of three editions of that piece later fetched $6.24 million at Sotheby's in New York in November 2024. The clip's viral rise also highlights the evolving expectations of travelers who use home-sharing platforms such as Airbnb. The company's May 2025 quarterly report said that guests spent nearly $25 billion in the first quarter of the year. One in five global guests chose Airbnb over traditional accommodations to experience more local or personalized stays. This was according to Airbnb's Compact Survey conducted from October 2023 to March 2025 for its guests who took a trip during that time period. The survey noted that Airbnb guests increasingly value quirky, authentic, or unusual features that give rentals a sense of individuality. While this may not always involve satirical art critiques embedded into damaged furnishings, it points to a broader trend in which character and personality are embraced as part of the travel experience. 'Genius' Whether the host intended the frame as a deliberate commentary or an impromptu joke, internet viewers have turned it into a conversation piece, with viewers praising the Airbnb host's gesture. "This is genius," wrote TikTok user @goliathsmum, while another commenter, @kelligerardi, said: "This is hilarious and I love it." One user, @ posted, "now that's a punchline," while @pckuo4hw5h added: "well, that's actually good. I like it." User @ noted that it "adds personality to the house," while user @figurerecruitmentout simply commented: "Who is this diva." User @magy_carmella added: "Why do I never want them to fix that. That's actual art because of the caption he gave it." One viewer, @spring_.lov3r, said that "my paranoia could never let me stay there without sealing it w[ith] something." User @xcvi728 pointed out that it "Cost like $5 to fix," but @vagabondmom's said the host's solution is "funny and cheaper." Newsweek has contacted the original poster for comment via TikTok.

Toddler Takes Photos of Her Baby on Vacation, Mom Can't Cope
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A toddler's sweet imitation of her mother's parenting has melted hearts on TikTok. In a clip posted by her mom Viridiana Domínguez (@viridmngzz), her two-year-old daughter is seen carefully taking a photo of her beloved baby doll at the aquarium while on vacation with her grandparents. Zahra holds up a phone and proudly snaps a picture of her "baby," mimicking the gestures and attention a parent might give to their own child. Toddler girl wearing striped shorts and vest set propping her baby doll up against a wall to take a photo. Toddler girl wearing striped shorts and vest set propping her baby doll up against a wall to take a photo. @viridmngzz Domínguez wrote on the text overlay: "Proof that they're always watching." The 31-year-old told Newsweek that she and Zahra's father love taking pictures of their daughter. "We are always telling her to pose somewhere and say 'cheese' and she does it with the biggest most contagious smile," Domínguez said. "So her setting her baby down, posing her and taking the picture shows us that she sees what we do and has her baby doing it." The heartwarming video has been viewed more than 914,000 times and received over 170,000 likes. Commenters also noted how children often mirror the nurturing behaviors they see around them. One user shared, "My niece put her baby doll into her sister's activity center and gasped, 'Ugh! You so smart! I about to cry!' while fanning her face lol. They're always watching!" "Who's crying? Me omg so adorable. So much love we pour into our kids that it shows," another wrote. A third commenter wrote, "They're like sponges." Joaniko Kohchi, MPhil, LCSW, IECMH-E, director for Adelphi's Institute for Parenting, told Newsweek that imitation is a powerful learning strategy. "It is universally true that children will do what we do," Kohchi said. "[They] are less likely to do what we say, especially when it differs from what we show them." Kohchi pointed out that this is even more true for babies and very young children, who are experts at watching their parents' moods closely. "[Young children] are likely reacting to how parents feel rather than what parents say, and we meet their needs when we develop our reflective ability to recognize our feeling states and learn to attune to theirs," she said. Furthermore, a 2014 study published in Developmental Psychology found that toddlers as young as 14 months were more likely to imitate not just actions but intentions. Researchers observed that children often mimic complex social behaviors—not just copying what adults do, but understanding the "why" behind those actions. This is especially evident in caregiving behaviors, such as feeding, comforting, and, as in this case, even taking photos. "These aren't just cute games," said Dr. Markham. "They're early signs of empathy, responsibility, and social understanding. When a child acts like a parent, it reflects what they've absorbed from their environment—especially from their primary caregivers." Whether it's mimicking bedtime routines or recreating the perfect vacation snapshot, this viral moment is a touching reminder: kids don't miss a thing. "[There are] many other things she mimics, proving our littles are always watching what we do," Domínguez said.

Each like and share represents someone choosing to be a "little light" - proving that small individual actions can indeed illuminate the world when multiplied across a global platform.

As mental health concerns reach critical levels and global tensions escalate, the message of interconnectedness in "Namaste" is resonating with people wanting peace and authentic connection. "What fascinates me is seeing people of all ages embracing a message I humbly introduced a decade ago," says Wai Lana. "That so many people are being touched by this authentic and uplifting message shows they are hungry for wisdom, not just entertainment." The "Namaste" music video is available at TikTok, and other online platforms. About Wai Lana: Wai Lana has been at the forefront of bringing authentic yoga wisdom to mainstream audiences for over four decades.
