Australian Facebook is up in arms over a letter from an "upset" vegan. Someone from Perth, received a letter from a vegan neighbour complaining about the meaty smells emanating from her kitchen. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter It read: "Hello neighbour, could you please shut your side window when cooking please. "My family are vegan (we eat only plant-based foods) and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset. We would appreciate your understanding. Thanks, Sarah, Wayne and kids." But people were divided about whether the request was reasonable or not after the note circulated on Facebook. One said: "I feel like this was a genuinely polite letter, and it’s true to smell of meat is overpowering. It would be nice to see some respect for your neighbours, and not publicly trying to shame them for holding strong ethical morals." "This is the like the nicest way they could possibly ask," another said. "What is wrong with some people?! They’re simply asking for a different window to be open that isn’t adjacent to their home. Gosh, some people just like to complain I swear." But others were less generous. One wrote: "I’d be cooking up bacon and steak every day and putting a fan behind it and directing it out the window!" "If they don’t like the smell then they can close their window," another said. Have your say in our news democracy.

By Borja Suarez LAS PALMAS, Spain Archaeologists on Spain's Gran Canaria island are puzzled: who were the six

Succession is well and truly back, with all the usual biting one-liners, growling expletives from Logan, and glorious chemistry between newly-self-styled “disgusting brothers” Tom and Greg. The second instalment of the wildly-anticipated fourth and final season aired on Sunday night for US viewers, but most of us in the UK only managed to catch up post-work on Monday. Along with the usual business chat (that, let's face it, few of us actually get), we were treated to the birth of Kerry's new presenting career, a valiant attempt at diplomacy from Greg, some heartstring-pulling from Conor and the prospect of a Roman mutiny from the Kendall-Shiv ship. As we continue to roll with the emotional punches, here's a look at all the best memes and moments from the season so far.

It looks like something straight out of a René Magritte gallery, but a black and white photo showing lines of trees floating over a dirt track is no surrealist masterpiece. Indeed, it’s not an optical illusion at all, but evidence of a carefully constructed war tactic. The picture was taken in 1941 by a Finnish photographer called Osvald Hedenström, as his nation tried to shield itself from the might of neighbouring Stalinist Russia during World War II. A year earlier, Finland had reluctantly agreed to fight alongside Nazi Germany in a bid to protect itself from Soviet invasion, and Hedenström was fighting under German command when he found himself beneath the mysterious levitating pines. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “The Finns didn’t have funds to buy artificial camouflage such as nets in vast quantities,” military historian Colonel Petteri Jouko told Atals Obscura, “So they used trees, leaves, and foliage to confuse the enemy.” Of course, camouflage is nothing new, and military fatigues are designed to mimic the colour and patterns of surrounding landscapes. But why are the trees suspended in thin air? And how on earth did they get them up there? According to Hedenström’s caption to the photo: “The Finns have camouflaged the road to Raate, about 10 km from Russia, with pines hanging in the air, because right on the border there is an observation tower erected by the Russians.” The trees were strategically placed to ensure that they wouldn’t block the road from a plane flying overhead, but could obscure the view from the nearby enemy tower. In fact, the pines were hung from wires which were connected to a series of poles (which, if you look carefully you can see), on the right-hand side of the road. Because of the angle of Hedenström’s snap, the cables on the first row of trees are hidden, which gives the impression that they’re being held up by sheer magic. The image is now part of the Finnish Defence Force’s photographic Archive, which contains some 160,000 photos captured between 1939 and 1945, when Finland fought two separate wars against the Soviet Union. It features other examples of clever concealment – thanks to Mother Nature – including a battleship which almost melts into surrounding forest land, and other examples of floating trees. In the end, Finland’s mastery of camouflage was among the key defences which helped it inflict humiliating losses on the Red Army and, ultimately, preserve its freedom. So, Vladimir Putin, take note: these guys know a thing or two about fighting off invasions. Have your say in our news democracy.

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has got people doing a double take with her latest career move, with many mistakenly thinking she has joined WWE. In a report from Variety, Meghan has signed up for representation with the Hollywood talent agency WME, in what will be seen as a lucrative acquisition for the company, which already boasts clients such as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and tennis great Serena Williams. Meghan's team at WME will include Endeavor CEO Ari Emmanuel as well as top agents Jill Smoller and Brad Slater. While she does have experience as an actor a return to that field is not thought to be on the agenda. Film and television and brand partnerships are more likely to be explored. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter While this is obviously intriguing news from a Meghan and Harry perspective, the news has sideswiped a few people who have mistakenly read WME as 'WWE' aka World Wrestling Entertainment leading to some very puzzled reactions. Just for the record, Meghan Markle has not signed with WWE although we do think she'd have great promo skills and would love to see her work a program with Dominik Mysterio. You never know, maybe her new colleague The Rock could give her some tips. Have your say in our news democracy.

Just three episodes into Succession’s final season and we were dealt the biggest sucker-punch imaginable. So the question instantly became, where do we go from here? Episode four began the answer to that question as the family gathered in Logan’s (or make that Connor’s…) apartment to thrash out their plans for Waystar Royco. Then, episode five's Norwegian adventure shook up the ground entirely, leaving us wondering if the conglomerate has a future at all. Episode six left us questioning the Roy brothers’ fitness to lead or whether they’re both on very separate but very real self-destruct missions. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter And whilst we were imbued with some optimism at the start of episode seven – at least for the future of Tom and Shiv’s marriage – that was pretty cataclysmically dashed by the end. From Greg’s HR “throat-slitting” to that gut-wrenching balcony scene, here's a look at the best memes and reactions to the latest twist in the final chapter of TV’s favourite family saga, and from the season so far.

Anything can go wrong during a live stream. And while some streamers intentionally bend the rules for views, other incidents are completely unexpected. Take the recent episode of the Pitchside podcast by YouTubers Reev, Theo Baker, and Tom Garratt. Theo and Tom had an arm wrestling match during the stream ahead of watching Newcastle United vs Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday. What was supposed to be a bit of fun took a horrific turn when Tom's arm snapped. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "Oh f**k," he said, completely stunned. The Pitchside co-hosts were equally as mortified and went for help. Chris Dixon a guest on the show, later turned to Twitter to update fans on Tom's condition. "Quite an achievement to make the worst sound ever heard on Pitchside with Theo’s football opinions. Tom is okay, in A&E now," he posted. Theo also followed suit with a photo of Tom in the hospital, writing: "Hi guys, Tom's had his X-ray and has broken his humerus. He says anything for the content!" Fans turned to Twitter to send Tom their best wishes, while others commented on the disaster. "This is why I can’t even watch an arm wrestle anymore I feel sick," one person wrote, while another added: "Getting your arm snapped by Theo Baker has to be a new low." "I seriously hope he’s alright," one fan responded on Twitter. "That looked and sounded mad painful. However… Having your arm broken by Theo Baker of all people is not something you’re gonna live down any time soon." A fourth added: "Honestly don’t understand how people see this happen and ever arm wrestle again." Have your say in our news democracy.

Social media personality Hasbulla Magomedov has been arrested in Russia for driving offences committed after a wedding celebration. 20-year-old Hasbulla is from Russia and was arrested in his native Dagestan, a Republic of Russia, in an incident involving a group of his friends celebrating a wedding. According to reports, Hasbulla and friends blocked a main road in order to do doughnuts. Since his arrest, Hasbulla apologised for the incident on social media and confirmed it wasn’t him driving. He tweeted: “That won't happen again, people we apologise. We had to answer for it a little bit. I wasn't driving either.” Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter According to Dagestan’s Internal Affairs Ministry, the act of blocking a road to burn rubber is a common form of celebration after a wedding and added that wedding emotions got the better of those arrested. The statement read: “Unbridled wedding fun in Dagestan is known to many and far beyond the borders of the republic.” It continued: “In the absence of other ways of entertainment, such a primitive option is still extremely popular - blocking roads for other road users, burning rubber, smashing cars against each other and many other features that, in fact, have nothing to do with the celebration.” Footage of the incident was shared online and showed the social media star in a car blocking the road, while another vehicle from his party did donuts in the road in front. The statement from Dagestan’s Internal Affairs Ministry continued, explaining: “All participants of 'wedding emotions', as they themselves call it, were taken to the police, and in relation to them, employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Dagestan drew up administrative protocols for all violations.” It’s not the first time in recent months that Hasbulla’s actions have caused a stir. A few months ago the star came under fire after a clip appeared to show him abusing a cat. Have your say in our news democracy.

King Charles III coronation this weekend was an entertaining occasion that sparked memes, speculation about the might of Penny Mordaunt's triceps, and criticism for the enormous cost and arrests of republican protesters. But the show was partially overshadowed by a mysterious cloaked figure who appeared during the event, which social media users compared to the grim reaper. In videos of the proceedings posted on Twitter and TikTok, a hooded figure wearing black and holding a stick is seen quickly walking past the open door of Westminster Abbey outside. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Social media users who spotted the figure immediately came up with jokes, with some saying the figure was the late Queen Elizabeth II, or the late Princess Diana, or the grim reaper and others just finding it totally baffling. But there is a simple explanation. When contacted by Newsweek, Westminster Abbey identified the figure as a verger, a member of the abbey community who assists with religious services but who is not a member of the clergy.

Once you’ve learned a few key things about your garden, you’ll know how often you should grab a hose and start watering.

An influencer has revealed that she ate her own knee cartilage during a romantic spaghetti bolognese dinner with her fella. Paula Gonu had to undergo an operation after suffering an injury. After the surgery, the doctor asked Paula if she wanted to keep her meniscus. The 30-year-old - who has over two million followers on Instagram - said yes and then whipped it up into the dish. She made the revelation during an interview on the Club 113 podcast on YouTube. The doc asked her if she wanted a general or local anaesthetic and she plumped for the latter. She wanted to see the screen while the op took place. Paula, who comes from Badalona, near Barcelona, in Spain, said: “He used a camera. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter He operated through two holes and it was all up on the screen. “He explained everything to me as he operated.” Regarding her taking the cartilage home, she said: “I told him ‘Yes’ and he put what he removed into a small container like those used for urine samples. “He put it in alcohol so it would stay that way for as long as I wanted. “A week later, I was with my partner at the time, having a jokey conversation. “I told him I wanted to eat it because it was part of me and I had to put it back in my body.” She added: “Then I made a Bolognese and put it in and we ate it. “I wanted to be able to say in my head that I’ve eaten a piece of my own meniscus.” The influencer justified her decision by saying that everyone has eaten the bones, cartilage and body parts of “worse animals.” One fan commented: “I'm an Italian near Bologna. How did you put the meniscus in the ragu?” “My stomach hurt. Now it hurts even more. Thank you,” wrote another. Gerard said: “I really have to close TikTok now.” Nicole joked: “I once ate a booger.” Sofia remarked: “If it's mine, yes, I’d eat it, but from another person, no way. Disgusting.” Have your say in our news democracy. Click the upvote icon at the top of the page to help raise this article through the indy100 rankings.
