‘Swipe Bait’ Is Ruining Your Chances of Finding Your Person

You’ve likely heard of the popular term “ rage bait ,” which is behavior or content specifically intended to trigger anger in a given audience. But what about the concept of “swipe bait”? Swipe baiting runs rampant on dating apps, where many people put their best foot forward, sharing what they believe will secure the most matches. Think: photos with cute dogs that aren’t actually yours, staged pictures with a baby to make you seem softer than you really are, or content of you hiking even though you absolutely hate the outdoors. Many dating app users are tired of the subtle lies from their matches, without realizing they’re likely doing the same in return. Swipe baiting is an incredibly common form of validation-seeking, but beneath it lurks a deeper, more nuanced truth. What Is ‘Swipe Baiting’? As noted above, swipe baiting involves using fake or misleading photos or prompts on dating apps in order to get more swipes.  According to Angelika Koch, Relationship expert at Taimi...

Watching Robots Run a Half-Marathon Is Kind of Hilarious (One of Them Is Freakishly Fast Though)

A humanoid robot winning a half-marathon sounds like a milestone until you remember what robots are for. In Beijing’s recent humanoid robot half-marathon, a machine named “Lightning,” built by smartphone maker Honor, clocked 50 minutes and 26 seconds over 13.1 miles. It comfortably beat the human world record of 57:20. Another version, remotely controlled, posted an even faster time before immediately crashing into a barrier at the finish line, much like humans after actual marathons. The headline writers for traditional news outlets tasked with summing up this story in a neat, compact sentence were handed an impossible task. They needed to relay the story’s basic information, but the natural title would seem overly sensational for something that isn’t that impressive. That’s the double-edged sword of a story like this. A robot that beat the human record for a half-marathon sounds like it should be impressive, and yet it’s the opposite. It’s actually deeply unimpressive; it’s not su...

The Future of Driving Apparently Includes a Toilet You Can Talk to

Road trips are about to get a lot more complicated to explain to passengers. Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Seres , the Chongqing-based company behind the Aito SUV line, has been granted a patent for an “in-vehicle toilet”—a compact commode that slides out from beneath a passenger seat either with the push of a button or through voice-activated commands. According to the patent filing, which was approved by China’s National Intellectual Property Administration on April 10, the feature is designed to “satisfy users’ toilet needs on long journeys, while camping or while staying in the car.” So practical. The design is more considered than it sounds. The toilet sits on a sliding rail system, tucked under the seat until needed. Say “start up toilet function” and out it comes. A fan and an exhaust pipe handle odors. A rotating heating element handles liquid waste and dries everything else. Solid waste goes into a tank that someone—eventually, inevitably—has to empty by hand. That l...
