Cheems, the shiba inu behind 'cheemsburbger' and 'bonk' memes, passes away amid cancer battle
Cats and dogs have both brought us many iconic memes over the years, and the pup behind one of the most recognisable viral images – Cheems the shiba inu – has passed away, his owner has announced. Cheems, real name Balltze or ‘Ball Ball’, was popularised online for his love of cheeseburgers or a “cheemsburbger”, and appeared in “Swole Doge vs Cheems” and “bonk” memes too. He was not the pup behind the ‘doge’ meme, however – with that being a shiba inu named Kabosu who, despite reports in December 2022 that she was critically ill with leukaemia, is still smiling away in adorable photos on Instagram. In their post to the social media platform on Friday, Balltze’s owners confirmed Cheems “fell asleep” during a surgical procedure known as thoracentesis, which concerns the removal of fluid or air from around the lungs. He had been battling cancer, with his owners hoping to arrange chemotherapy following the surgery. The owners wrote: “Don’t be sad, please remember the joy that Balltze brought to the world. A shiba inu with a round smiling face connecting you and me, he has helped many people during the pandemic and brought a lot of joy to many of you, but now his mission is completed. “I believe he is running freely in the sky and having a lot of delicious food with his new friends. He will always be inside my heart. “I hope he can continue to bring joy to everyone in the online world, that’s my only humble request.” Tributes soon poured in for Balltze, with Twitter/X users resharing some of their favourite memes of the beloved pup: https://twitter.com/PupperNelson/status/1692848881095111118?s=20 https://twitter.com/RealSpikeCohen/status/1693120280225362193?s=20 https://twitter.com/ManuelNFTs/status/1692937774955925565?s=20 https://twitter.com/babywhalegg/status/1692929323353755831?s=20 Rest in peace to a very good boy.

Horrified mum says stranger 'spoke to her son for weeks' after hacking baby monitor
Baby monitors are a staple of any new parent’s toolkit, designed to put mums and dads’ minds at ease. And yet, one mother found her monitor the opposite of reassuring after a hacker managed to hack the device and use it to speak to her young son. Influencer Kurin Adele made the frightening claim in a TikTok posted on Saturday. In the clip, which racked up 6.1 million views in three days, Adele told viewers that she’d noticed over “the past couple of weeks to a couple of months” that her son had been unplugging his bedroom camera. On Friday night, she asked her husband to plug the device back in which, to her surprise, made her little boy very upset. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “My son starts crying and he's like, ‘I don't want my camera plugged in, I don't want my camera plugged in,’” she recounted. “‘Someone talks to me at night and it scares me, someone wakes me up and talks to me and I'm scared.’” The content creator said she and her husband “looked at each other completely terrified” before reassuring their child that he was safe and they wouldn’t be plugging the camera back in. She then explained that they immediately went to change the password to the app for the device, at which point they received a message from its manufacturer, Owlet. The pop-up read: “This password has appeared in a data leak, which puts this account at high risk for compromise. You should change your password immediately.” Furious, Adele continued: “Who the heck knows how long someone has had our password and has been messing with my son? Owlet never notified us. “The only reason we didn't know about this sooner is because our son thought it was us talking to him, so whoever was talking to him was telling him that it was his mum and dad.” She ended the clip by urging fellow parents to ditch their wifi cameras, claiming that “people are hacking into baby monitors left and right just to mess with people”. @kurinadele Get rid of your wifi cameras!!!!! #owletcamera #babymonitorhack Her video racked up more than 850,000 likes and 6,400 comments as fellow TikTokers rushed to share their horror at Adele’s discovery. “10th video I have seen of a baby monitor getting hacked,” one wrote. “As someone who designed networks for a living, I would NEVER recommend a wifi enabled camera. They're so easy to hack,” said another. “I’m a law student and we did a trip to the cyber police department and the guy also said to never get ‘smart’ baby monitors,” added a third. On Monday, Adele shared an update, saying Owlet had replied to her complaint about the whole affair after she sent them a “hate email”. “They responded with a very dismissive email, basically telling me that their data is super encrypted and there's no way that someone could hack in, but they'd like to look into it further,” she said. However, she went on: “About 20 minutes ago, I got an email directly from Owlet, It looks like they saw my video.” She went on to say that she felt “a little bit bummed” that the “only reason they're reaching out to me is because I have a platform and my video went viral,” before admitting that she was still “excited to see how they rectify the situation”. The mother-of-two, who’s expecting her third child, said she was keen to know whether they’d be able to find out who logged into their account, adding that she’d keep her followers posted on any updates. @kurinadele Owlet update!! #babymonitor #babymonitorhack #owlet #owletcamera At the time of writing, the mystery of the hacker had yet to be solved, and Adele’s most recent video was about a trip to Taco Bell.

Where to buy Barbenheimer t-shirts
Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer are to be released in cinemas on the same day, 21 July - with cinema fans excited to attend the double feature.

Delivery driver yells 'f**k you' at customer over $5 tip
A food delivery driver has caused a stir online after insulting a customer for their $5 (£3.90) tip. In a widely shared clip on TikTok, a man is seen delivering a pizza before making a snarky joke about the low tip. "I just wanna say, this is a nice house for a $5 tip," he says through the video doorbell, to which the customer sarcastically hits back: "You're welcome." The delivery driver made sure to squeeze in the last word, telling the takeaway customer "f*** you" and walking away. It didn't take long for the viral footage to cause a debate online, with some saying they felt like a $5 tip on a $20 order was acceptable. "I say 5$ is good since it was a 20$ order...seriously, what do they expect more than what the order is," one person wrote, as another chimed in: "Did he expect a 100 dollar tip on a 20 dollar order?" A third added: "It's her money. Y'all better be happy she even gave you a tip." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter @noahglenncarter This doordasher is being blasted for his reaction to a good tip #foryou #doordash #drama On the flip side, internet sensation MrBeast took tipping to another extreme – by gifting a waitress a car. The star has made a name for himself online, with his efforts to saving orphanages, rebuilding homes and "curing" blindness. In one recent clip on TikTok, MrBeast revealed that his latest act was to give a waitress a car rather than a cash tip after his meal. The waitress revealed that she had actually been late that very day due to her Uber being slow. @mrbeast MrBeast on TikTok While the waitress appeared happy and began to cry, she did also admit that she does not know how to drive. As MrBeast showed her the car outside, it was plastered with graphics advertising his new chocolate bar venture, Feastables. Have your say in our news democracy.
