From politicians swimming in fecal water to underground ant trafficking rings. We're exploring a world where the US Health Secretary voluntarily bathes in decades-old poop water, ant smuggling is apparently a lucrative criminal enterprise, and Elon Musk's AI has developed a concerning obsession with letting the world know about the latest genocide.

Next time someone tells you science is boring, tell them about the underground ant trafficking network – that should keep the conversation hopping.

Stay curious, stay weird, and maybe check your local creek's E. coli levels before diving in!
