Tesla vs. Wile E. Coyote

Popular YouTuber Mark Rober put Tesla’s self-driving technology to the test in a scene straight out of Looney Tunes. He set up a massive fake road wall painted to look like the road continued, just like something Wile E. Coyote would use against the Road Runner. The result? The Tesla drove straight into it without hesitation, proving that while self-driving tech has improved, it's still no match for classic cartoon trickery.

Gen Z’s ‘Revenge Quitting’ Movement

A new workplace trend has Gen Z employees quitting their jobs in the most inconvenient ways possible as a form of protest against perceived unfair treatment. Whether it's leaving in the middle of a shift or dropping a resignation notice with zero warning, this movement is causing major disruptions in offices everywhere. With TikTok driving the trend, some say it's empowering, while others argue it's just making work environments even more chaotic.

Apple’s Foldable iPhone Price Shock

Apple’s long-rumored foldable iPhone is estimated to have a jaw-dropping starting price of around $2,300—nearly double the cost of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. According to an investor research note, this would make it Apple’s priciest iPhone ever. While foldable tech is gaining traction, the big question is whether customers will shell out that much cash just to have a bendy screen.

Yes, there's a popular YouTuber named Mark Roper who thought
this would be a good idea because he was inspired
by Looney Tunes. So you know on Looney Tunes that
they put up those like fake walls and you try
to get the road runner to crash. Yeah, okay, so
that's what he did to a tesla because apparently the
technology inside of a tesla only uses the cameras to
see what's in front of them. So he put up
a sheet and made it look like the road was

(00:50):
still continuing to see if the Tesla actually worn my god,
because he thought it was the road or stop because
they could sense that.
