A hotel worker has urged people to stop using the free products in their holiday accommodation. In a viral TikTok that's caught the attention of over a million people, the woman told people to avoid the shampoo, conditioner and body wash. "Here's your tip. Don't ever use these," she said, "Why? Because they're not secure." The woman unscrewed the lids of the full-sized bottles, demonstrating to TikTokers just how easy it is for guests to add their own substances. "They can put hair colour, bleach, anything in these. Don't ever use these," she reiterated. "I always bring my own when travelling," she continued. "If you don't bring your own, always call down to the front desk and ask for a fresh set or even the mini ones."

"I miss the days of the minis being the standard," one person wrote. "I hate the shared bottles." A second added: "I have always said this. I have a fear of someone putting hair remover in the bottle." Meanwhile, a third commented: "Been in the business for 16 years and these have become quite popular over the last several years." In another travel TikTok from a separate user, a flight attendant reiterated similar warnings before exposing other areas and items she would generally steer clear of. The hotel ice bucket is apparently a big no-no. "I’ve heard people have done the unmentionables in those, so just use the little plastic bag," she told her 13,000 viewers. The TikToker concluded with advice to take an anti-bacterial spray to give furniture and other items a clean down. She went on to tell people to avoid using some coffee machines as they're difficult to clean out, along with the cups that are not wrapped in plastic. Have your say in our news democracy.

If TikTok is to be believed, American men are absolutely obsessed with ancient Rome – and now a historian has explained why. The trend: “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?” has swept the social media platform in recent weeks. Scores of women have posted about how often their husbands or boyfriends said they think about it. More often than not, it’s more than once a day. But why the fascination? Historian Tom Holland could have the answer – and it doesn’t reflect well on America. Firstly, he writes in Time magazine, it is likely to be something more “visceral” than the great orators and writers like Cicero and Ovid, whose work still gets academics excited 2,000 years later. Instead, he says, it is because the Roman empire was “the apex predator of antiquity: powerful, terrifying, box-office”. Not only this, he adds, but the fact that it was so long ago means modern audiences don’t feel as uncomfortable with the cruel and violent acts of the Roman Empire as with more recent examples. “The Romans, much like the dinosaurs, are not merely glamorous—they are also safely extinct.” However, writes Holland, an author and co-host of podcast The Rest Is History, there is more to it than that: “Romans, more than any other ancient people, seem to offer America a distorted reflection of itself.” @theyaresam_ the roman empire is actually fascinating “Just as American conservatives today look back wistfully to the Founding Fathers as patrons of an age of rugged independence and virtue, so did the Founding Fathers look back with an equal wistfulness to the early years of Rome. “There, for any infant republic victorious in a war against a great monarchy, was a morality tale to be found that could hardly help but serve as inspiration. “The Romans, like the Americans, had originally been ruled by a king; then, resolved no longer to live in servitude, they had dared all in a heroic and ultimately successful campaign to expel him.” The picture gets less rosy when you look to 21st century comparisons, he continues. Both the US and Rome suffered from from wars in Iraq, the rise of rival superpowers, “political vendettas pursued in the law courts” and “the emergence of radicals preaching that the last will be first, and the first will be last, to the excitement of many, and the consternation of others”. When Americans think of Rome, Holland concludes, they are thinking of a civilisation that is both “strange and familiar; terrifying and glamorous; safely extinct and the image of themselves”. Let's just hope the US doesn't suffer the same fate as the Roman Empire any time soon. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

A TikToker has been criticised for leaving a racist comment under her viral video. Ana (@addictedtoana) posted a TikTok of her having an... expressive reaction to pancakes arriving at her table with the overlay text reading "my hangryness leaving my body at the moment I have food." The video, which now has over 36 million views, made many cringe with viewers relating to a woman in the background seemingly judging her, with the majority of comments relating to the girl in the background. Some comments include: "the girl in the back is so real", "we are all the woman in the back", and "I love the girl in the back." Despite thousands of comments saying an iteration of relating to the girl in the back, Ana decided to respond to one comment. @addictedtoana The best part of this video is the woman jugding me #humor The comment Ana decided to respond to was from a Black person who said "girl in the back is me and I am the girl in the back". Ana replied to it saying, "for a Black guy hating in other [another] person that's food for thought society doesn't made [mean] you suffer with hate too?" It seems to be Ana is saying that because Black people endure racism they should not joke about her video and cause suffering on her. The original commenter replied saying "wow so not only are you a cringelord but you're racist too." "You think someone looking at you weird in an iHop is equivalent to racism?!?" Wrote another. And many seemed to agree, with one user commenting "ended her whole career in one reply" Others pointed out the confusing wording of Ana's comment. "I don't even understand what she said," wrote one viewer. "I had to read it three times and I still don't know what she said," wrote another. Indy100 have reached out to Ana for comment.
