The adult-sized pacifiers are sold as sleep aids, stress relievers, and even smoking-cessation tools, and shoppers are suckers for the items. Some online sellers move thousands every month, the South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported, per the New York Post . Fans of the grown-up soothers aren't shy about using them, either. 'When I'm under pressure at work, I feel a sense of safety from childhood,' one Chinese buyer said, as reported by the outlet. However, not everyone is in favour of the baby-item boom. Dr. Tang Caomin, a dentist in Sichuan, warned SCMP that 'if you sleep with a pacifier in your mouth, it can interfere with breathing, and in the worst case, there is a risk of suffocation.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The doc also cautioned that prolonged use could mess with your bite, strain your jaw and even disrupt sleep. The trend isn't limited to China. TikTok videos show videos of American adults pacifying themselves in traffic, at work, or during burnout. In the comments section of a TikTok by @thebentist, one user swore, 'I just use an adult pacifier it hasn't moved my teeth been using them for 4 years.' Said another: 'Just get an adult pacifier I use one! And the ADHD tip it works!!(for me).' Recommended video Not everyone on social media is on board with the concept. 'If you want something in ur mouth, chew gum. if you want to suck on something (like a pacifier) have a sucker (lollipop),' one commenter said.

US grants Nvidia clearance to restart China H20 chip shipments
WASHINGTON, D.C.: The U.S. Commerce Department has begun issuing licenses allowing Nvidia to ship its H20 chips to China, a U.S. official told Reuters, reopening access to a key market for the AI leader after months of restrictions. The decision follows Washington's reversal last month of an April ban on H20 sales. Nvidia developed the chip specifically for China to comply with Biden-era export controls on advanced AI hardware. Nvidia has warned the curbs would cut US$8 billion from its July-quarter sales. CEO Jensen Huang met with President Donald Trump this week, two sources familiar with the matter said. A spokesperson for Nvidia declined to comment, and the White House did not respond to a request for comment. In July, Nvidia said it had applied to resume H20 shipments and had been assured licenses would be granted soon. It remains unclear how many licenses have been issued, which Chinese firms can receive the chips, or the total value of shipments approved. Nvidia disclosed in April that it expected a $5.5 billion charge tied to the H20 restrictions, but later said the actual impact for the first quarter was $1 billion lower, as some materials were reused. The Financial Times first reported Friday's update. China has raised security concerns over the H20, prompting Nvidia to state last month that its products contain no "backdoors" enabling remote access or control. Exports of Nvidia's other advanced AI chips to China remain restricted under rules from successive U.S. administrations aimed at slowing Beijing's AI and defense development. While such curbs have limited U.S. companies' ability to meet surging demand from China, one of the largest semiconductor markets, the country still accounts for a significant share of American chipmakers' revenue. Huang has warned Nvidia's competitive edge could erode without Chinese sales, as domestic developers are courted by rivals like Huawei Technologies, which produces its own chips in China. In May, Nvidia said the H20 generated $4.6 billion in sales in the first quarter, with China contributing 12.5 percent of total revenue during that period.

Toronto FC has a long way to go, but finally appears headed in the right direction
Since its last appearance in the MLS playoffs in 2020 under Greg Vanney, Toronto FC is on its sixth manager and has posted a league record of 35-88-38. TFC has finished 26th, 27th, 29th and 22nd in the Supporters' Shield standings. Under current boss Robin Fraser, it stands 12th in the Eastern Conference — and 25th overall before Sunday play — at 5-13-7. But finally, there seems some light at the end of the tunnel — albeit off in the distance. Under Jason Hernandez, promoted to GM in June 2023, the well-heeled franchise seems to have shed its penchant for expensive attempts at quick fixes (read Italians Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi). With 17 players on expiring contracts, with club options on all but veteran defender Kevin Long, he has room to manoeuvre. Forward Ola Brynhildsen, winger Theo Corbeanu and attacking midfielder Maxime Dominguez are all on loan to Toronto with 2025 salaries listed at US$1.63 million, $411,625 and $337,575, respectively, by the MLS Players Association. All three, like most everyone else, are playing for their jobs. 'Everyone has a chance to put their best foot forward and make a case for why they should be a part of the project moving forward,' said Hernandez. The 41-year-old GM has been rebuilding a front office that lost talent as it slipped down the standings and went through a revolving door of coaches. He is restocking the franchise's supply of allocation money, which helps expand room under the league's salary cap. 'Our ability to capitalize on MLS mechanisms and continue to kind of grow our war chest is a big deal,' he explained. 'One, that if we wanted to take action in the summer (transfer) window, we have the flexibility and the ability to do so. And if not, and we wanted to sit on it for four or five months and now have a much bigger pile to pull from should we want to make additions in the off-season … having now extra resources to go in and actually get the guys that we want is going to be a good thing.' But only if you get the right talent. It's early days but in acquiring Djordje Mihailovic as a designated player from Colorado on a transfer worth up to $9 million, Toronto appears to have secured a foundation for its rebuild. The 26-year-old U.S. international is a playmaker and goal-scorer with a long runway and knowledge of the league. Hernandez calls Mihailovic TFC's 'reference point.' 'Now we understand actually what is the type of attacking pieces that would flourish with Djordje, what are some of the components around him that are needed to bring the best out of him.' That actually makes sense. As opposed to spending millions to force Italian square pegs into round holes. Hernandez is searching for another DP, with goals needed. While Fraser, a former two-time MLS Defender of the Year, has shored up the team's defence — despite a rash of injuries — TFC has just 26 goals in 25 games this season. Fraser has made no secret of his admiration for Brynhildsen. But whether the 26-year-old Norwegian, hampered by injuries and lack of support, is the right No. 9 remains to be seen. Mihailovic should help change that. Still TFC needs help everywhere, save in goal with veteran Sean Johnson and backup Luka Gavran. Hernandez has said goodbye — even if reluctantly — to Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty and Tyrese Spicer, players unhappy with their playing time or pay. Defender Adam Pearlman and forwards Hugo Mbongue and Charlie Sharp have been sent out on loan, to earn experience, something the franchise seemed loathe to do under past regimes. Toronto has a history of developing young Canadian talent and then letting it wither on the vine. Under Fraser, such players are getting a clear idea of what's needed from them. Gavran, defender Kobe Franklin, midfielder Kosi Thompson and forward Deandre Kerr are valued members of the first team. Teenage defender Lazar Stefanović is one to watch for the future. Malik Henry, a 23-year-old midfielder, celebrated his first-team contract announced earlier in the day by setting up Kerr's 91st-minute goal in Toronto's 1-1 draw Saturday at high-flying Philadelphia. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. Fraser celebrated the comeback against a team 29 points higher in the standings, admiring his players' refusal to quit. Under Fraser, TFC has defeated San Diego and tied Vancouver and Minnesota, the top three teams in the Western Conference going into Sunday play. Add Philadelphia to that list. 'I felt like tonight, it wasn't just battling and fighting, but we found some quality with the ball, created a number of good chances and obviously created a very good goal,' Fraser said Saturday. Success isn't around the corner yet. But TFC appears headed in the right direction. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 10, 2025.
