Recently, u/Mountain-Taro-123 asked r/AskReddit"What's something weird, but harmless and non-NSFW that you're into?" And we thought we'd share some of the most popular responses.
1. "I had a girlfriend when I was 16 give me a stuffed frog. We broke up shortly after and that frog got tossed in the trunk of my car for some reason. The frog stayed in the trunk until I bought a new car, and it moved to that new trunk. I've had that same stuffed frog live in every vehicle I've ever owned for 27 years now. Never seen, never really even touched, just tucked away somewhere in my vehicle."

2. "Collecting rocks and giving my favourite ones to my wife who does not collect or want rocks."

3. "I really really enjoy picking up little creatures. I cannot help myself. If I see a misplaced worm or a beetle? I have to pick it up. I just I can't fight those demons. God forbid if it's a frog or a snail."

4. "I love Loomis armoured trucks. I never had friends all my life and when I used to carpool with my mom to college (she was a professor), our schedule matched perfectly with a Loomis truck and I would wave at it as it went by. Six years later I still cheer whenever I drive past one and if I see one while walking I'll go over and touch it. Every time I see Brinks or LaGuardia trucks I scowl at them since they take business away from Loomis trucks."

5. "I have a 'good luck dragon' Beanie Baby in my office that when I'm stuck on a development project, I explain the problem to in detail, and usually start to see things a bit differently or at least brainstorm solutions. He's blue with sparkles and he has a solid black brother. I occasionally switch them out."

6. "Went to a Renaissance festival with some friends and I finally bought a sword the way I've wanted since I was a kid. Do I need it for any reason? No. But I got a big fucking sword now."
– Ferris-7
New Line Cinema
7. "When I'm out for my daily walk, I like to pretend that all of my friends and loved one's are out there walking with me, both deceased and living. I pretend that I can see it as if it's a movie scene, and we're all walking together silently like we fuckin' know something the world doesn't. Used to really help when I was going through some stuff. Still helps now a bit."
– spartanC-001
8. "Vulture culture, I collect naturally cleaned bones/antlers/sheds, etc."
– UnusualAssociation32
9. "When I use to work on the 10th floor at this company. I would fart in the elevator and send it down."
– DazzlingProfession24
10. "I like to take my Lego BB8 places and take pictures of it. I don't really have a lot of friends and I usually don't have the self esteem to take pictures of myself so BB8 comes with me and we have a great time adventuring."
– BasketOfBagels
Warner Bros. Pictures
12. "Cemetery walks. It's peaceful. There are interesting things to look at/read. I usually take a plastic grocery bag with me and pick up any trash I see."
– _procrastinatrix_

– 143019
17. "I talk to myself. Normally I wouldn't even notice but as I run a conversation through my mind I'd end up saying the words, especially if I'm really concentrating on something, didn't even know I do it until my wife told me. Other than that I'm a fairly normal dude."
– Savings_Nobody6145
18. "I love grocery shopping in heels. Pushing the cart provides enough balance and the aisles are made for strutting. I feel so cool when I do this lol."

‘Ultimate Icon' winner Jamie Fox on celebrating his second chance at life
Jamie Foxx struggled to hold back tears as he was honoured with the Ultimate Icon Award at the 2025 BET Awards. 'I cannot even begin to express the love that I feel from everybody out there,' the comedian and actor said as he accepted the award that acknowledges his remarkable contributions to the music industry. 'I have so much love to give, I told God, I said, 'man, just give me one more crack at this',' he continued, his eyes brimming with tears. 'I said, 'for whatever reason you put this on me, I promise I'm gonna do right'. And I'm gonna do right in front of you all because I know a lot of times when we get on, we forget about where we come from.' He went on to thank the black community for their unwavering support, expressing gratitude for how they've carried him and stood by him throughout his career. In addition, Jamie (57) thanked God for giving him a 'second chance' at life after his stroke in April 2023. He had previously shared how he experienced a severe headache before passing out. Unbeknown to him at the time, he was suffering bleeding in his brain. 'I was fighting for my life,' he recalled in his Netflix special, What Had Happened Was... 'It's a mystery, we still don't know exactly what happened to me [and] all I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer because I needed every prayer.' READ MORE| Jamie Foxx on how a headache turned out to be a brain bleed that left him in a coma Since his recovery, Jamie has been rebuilding his life, finding strength in his family and sense of humour. 'If I could stay funny, I could stay alive,' he joked. Less than a year after his stroke, Jamie went back to work. In January 2024 he returned to the set of Back in Action, which he'd been filming with Cameron Diaz at the time of his stroke, and a month later he started plotting his comeback to stand-up comedy. 'I got some jokes and a story to tell,' he wrote on Instagram. The actor returned to co-host the seventh season of Beat Shazam with his daughter Corinne (31) in May last year, after Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne stepped in to host season 6 during his health scare. Last year, Jamie also had the honour of walking his daughter down the aisle at her October wedding to Joe Hooten. 'It was incredibly special, considering his health scare last year,' Corinne said. Even though his lead role in Ray in 2005 earned him a best actor Oscar, Jamie says he considers the Icon Award to be the most important accolade of his career. 'A lot of people think, like, the Oscars is the biggest thing, and we got to quit thinking like that,' he says. 'I say this all the time, thank you to black people and the black award, because this is what really counts.'

German court rules puzzle maker can use Da Vinci image
A German court ruled Wednesday that toymaker Ravensburger can use Leonardo da Vinci's drawing "Vitruvian Man" for its puzzles, in a setback for the Italian state and a Venetian gallery. The Stuttgart Higher Regional Court dismissed a claim filed by Italy's Culture Ministry and the Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia and upheld an earlier ruling that favoured Ravensburger. The Italian plaintiffs had demanded a licensing agreement for the commercial use of one of the Renaissance master's most famous drawings, despite the fact that he died more than 500 years ago, placing his works in the public domain under international copyright law. The plaintiffs argued that a domestic law aimed at protecting Italy's cultural heritage meant they had the authority to demand agreements with those who profit from culturally significant artworks, even if they are based abroad. After failed negotiations, the Italians obtained a preliminary injunction from a court in Venice that barred Ravensburger from selling the puzzle worldwide. Ravensburger then challenged the injunction in Germany. Last year, a lower regional court in Stuttgart sided with Ravensburger, ruling that Italy's cultural protection laws could only be enforced in that country. Rejecting the appeal, the Stuttgart court on Wednesday found that "German courts are neither bound by the prior decision of the Italian court nor prevented from making their own ruling on the matter". The judgement is not yet final. The Italian plaintiffs can ask the German Federal Court of Justice for permission to appeal the ruling. pe-vbw/fz/yad

Christian Music Star Michael Tait Confesses to Unwanted Sexual Advances on Men and Cocaine Use: ‘I Was Living Two Distinctly Different Lives'
Michael Tait, who became a Grammy-winning star in the Christian music world as a member of DC Talk in the '90s, and continued that hit streak in recent years with a long stint as lead singer for the group Newsboys, has issued a 'confession' on social media in which he admits that allegations of unwanted groping of young men and drug use contained in a recent investigative report were largely true. 'Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true,' Tait wrote in a post on his Instagram account. 'For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it — sin. I don't blame anyone or anything but myself. While I might dispute certain details in the accusations against me, I do not dispute the substance of them… 'I'm ashamed to admit that for years I have lied and deceived my family, friends, fans, and even misled my bandmates about aspects of my life,' Tait continued. I' was, for the most part, living two distinctly different lives. I was not the same person on stage Sunday night that I was at home on Monday. I was violating everything I was raised to believe by my God-fearing Dad and Mom, about walking with Jesus and was grieving the very God I loved and sang about for most of my life.' Tait abruptly quit Newsboys in January, setting off a round of speculation about what went down that escalated over the past five months. His former band has tried to soldier on with a replacement singer for a new album and tour, while some fans balked at the prospect of concert dates proceedinn without Tate, asking questions about the abrupt departure of a singer who'd been the face of the veteran group for the last 16 years. The mystery came into clearer focus on June 4 when a Christian site that publishes investigative stories, the Roys Report, published a lengthy article about what it called 'Nashville's worst-kept secret,' saying that a two-and-a-half-year investigation involving interviews with more than 50 sources showed a pattern of 'predatory grooming' as well as drug abuse on Tait's part. The day after the Roys Report story exploded through the Christian music world, Newsboys issued a statement on the band's Instagram, writing: 'When he left the band in January, Michael confessed to us and our management that he 'had been living a double-life' but we never imagined that it could be this bad.' The remaining group members said they had not heard from Tait about the exact allegations, but wrote that 'our hearts were shattered when we read the news alleging drug abuse and inappropriate sexual actions… First and foremost, our hearts are with the victims who have bravely shared their stories. If you are a victim, we urge you to come forward. We absolutely do not condone any form of sexual assault.' Adam Agee, a band member who stepped into the lead singer role, wrote separately on Facebook that the group members 'heard rumors over the years,' but that 'each time something came up we tried to find the source and no one would tell us.' In his Instagram statement, Tait said that he had entered treatment following his exit from Newsboys and was now clean and sober. 'When I abruptly left Newsboys in January I did so to get help,' he wrote. 'I was not healthy, physically or spiritually, and was tired of leading a double life. I spent six weeks at a treatment center in Utah, receiving help that may have saved my life from ultimate destruction. I have been clean and sober since, though I still have lots of hard work ahead of me.' The initial Roys Report story said that three men who had spoken with the reporter 'alleg(ed) that Tait befriended them individually on Christian music tours in 2004, 2010, and 2014. They were all 22 years old at the time… Two men stated that they were drinking alcohol with Tait and later woke to him fondling their genitals. One alleged Tait also offered him cocaine while on the Newsboys tour bus. The third told TRR that Tait gave him a back massage while skinny dipping and later invited him to share his king-size bed. There, Tait allegedly non-consensually massaged his anal region.' On Monday, K-LOVE, the nation's biggest Christian radio chain with 400 stations in 48 states, announced that it was putting a pause on airplay for all releases from Newsboys (including, apparently, records the band put out before and after Tait's tenure) and DC Talk. 'We are aware of the allegations against Michael Tait, former frontman of the Newsboys,' a K-LOVE rep was quoted told the Roys Report. 'As the investigation proceeds, our prayers are with all those involved. In the meantime, our programming team is resting Newsboys and DC Talk music on our stream.' A handful of other Christian stations had preceded K-LOVE in pulling music by the two groups. Newboys recently publicly traded blame with a promoter about the cancellation of a Canadian tour, with the group claiming the promoter was in over its head and the company that canceled the outing indicating in return that ticket sales were suffering after Tait's sudden exit. A U.S. tour was still on the books for summer as of Tuesday, with fans online offering mixed responses about whether they were eager to see the group continue with another member of the band taking over lead vocals or not. Representatives for the band and Tait could not be reached for comment. DC Talk was one of the most popular acts in the history of CCM (contemporary Christian music), as the genre is often called. The hip-hop-inflected pop group's most popular album, 1995's 'Jesus Freak,' was certified triple-platinum and spent 79 weeks on the Billboard 200. The trio officially went on hiatus in 2001, with Tait, Kevin Max and Toby Mac all moving on to successful careers apart from one another. Newboys had a record of decades of success before Tait joined. With Peter Furler as their original lead singer, they formed in Australia in the mid-'80s and moved to Nashville in the early '90s. Furler left the group and was replaced by Tait in 2009. With their new singer bringing over much of the DC Talk fan base, Newsboys managed to have four No. 1 albums on the Christian charts during his tenure. The group was featured in the evangelistic theatrical drama 'God's Not Dead,' named after their 2011 hit album. The complete text of Tait's statement on Instagram follows: 'Recent reports of my reckless and destructive behavior, including drug and alcohol abuse and sexual activity are sadly, largely true. For some two decades I used and abused cocaine, consumed far too much alcohol, and, at times, touched men in an unwanted sensual way. I am ashamed of my life choices and actions, and make no excuses for them. I will simply call it what God calls it-sin. I don't blame anyone or anything but myself. While I might dispute certain details in the accusations against me, I do not dispute the substance of them. 'When I abruptly left Newsboys in January I did so to get help. I was not healthy, physically or spiritually, and was tired of leading a double life. I spent six weeks at a treatment center in Utah, receiving help that may have saved my life from ultimate destruction. I have been clean and sober since, though I still have lots of hard work ahead of me. 'I'm ashamed to admit that for years I have lied and deceived my family, friends, fans, and even misled my bandmates about aspects of my life. I was, for the most part, living two distinctly different lives. I was not the same person on stage Sunday night that I was at home on Monday. I was violating everything I was raised to believe by my God-fearing Dad and Mom, about walking with Jesus and was grieving the very God I loved and sang about for most of my life. By His grace, I can say that for the past six months, I have lived a singular life-one of utter brokenness and total dependance on a loving and merciful God. 'I have hurt so many people in so many ways, and I will live with that shameful reality the rest of my life. I can only dream and pray for human forgiveness, because I certainly don't deserve it. I have even accepted the thought that God may be the only One who ultimately and completely forgives me. Still, I want to say I'm sorry to everyone I have hurt. I am truly sorry. It is my hope and prayer that all those I have hurt will receive healing, mercy, and hope from the Merciful Healer and Hope-Giver. 'Even before this recent news became public, I had started on a path to health, healing, and wholeness, thanks to a small circle of clinical health professionals, loving family, caring friends, and wise counselors -all of whom saw my brokenness and surrounded me with love, grace, and prayer. Sin is a terrible thing, taking us where we don't want to go; keeping us longer than we want to stay; and costing us more than we want to pay. I accept the consequences of my sin and am committed to continuing the hard work of repentance and healing-work I will do quietly and privately, away from the stage and the the extent my sinful behavior has caused anyone to lose respect or faith or trust in me, I understand, deserve, and accept that. But it crushes me to think that someone would lose or choose not to pursue faith and trust in Jesus because I have been a horrible representative of Him-for He alone is ultimately the only hope for any of us. 'King David's prayer of repentance in Psalm 51 has been my prayer this year: 'Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness… Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me… Create in me a new heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.'
