10 Game-Changing Tech Launches this Year

The 10 Coolest Gadgets Coming in 2025 🦾

Ready for gadgets that’ll make your jaw drop (and your wallet cry)? From the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 to tri-fold phones that double as tablets, 2025’s lineup is looking impressive. Oh, and did we mention TVs are now so massive, you’ll need a bigger living room? Start measuring.

This Cannabis Startup Pioneered “rapid onset” Gummies

[Partner] Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re at work or in public. That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing. Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC. We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.

Five of the Weirdest Things Launched Into Space 🤯

Jeff Bezos launched dinosaur bones into space, because apparently, owning Earth isn’t enough for him. The bones, from a dromaeosaurid (aka “one of the bitey ones”), got a brief 10-minute joyride in 2021. They’ve already survived mass extinction, museum storage, and paleontology students, but space tourism? That’s where we draw the line. Bezos might’ve thought he was making history, but those bones probably just wanted to rest in peace.

Should You Use the Hotel Safe? 🤔

The irony of the hotel safe is that you’re just as likely to forget the PIN you set as you are to protect anything valuable. Nothing screams “vacation panic” like calling the front desk to confess you’ve locked your passport in the safe… again. And don’t even think about using “1234” as your code—every thief knows that one. At this point, your best defense is hiding your jewelry in an empty Pringles can. Nobody looks there.

These Are the First Things You Should Clean in 2025

Every new year promises a “fresh start,” but if that start involves deep-cleaning your mattress and wrestling your shower liner into the washing machine, maybe the old year wasn’t so bad. But hey, go all in—scrub your appliances, sanitize your remotes, and pretend you're auditioning for a home makeover show. Just don’t forget to set a cleaning schedule for the year ahead. Think of it as your roadmap to adulthood—or at least a home that doesn’t look like a crime scene.
