Fully autonomous or self-driving cars are the future of transportation, but they’re still a ways away

Social media can be a nasty place at times, but every now and then a trend comes along which reminds you just how fun it can be. The most recent is the blue couch, which has been the talk of Twitter for the past week or so. In case you missed it, influencer Amanda Joy got a lot of people talking recently after finding a couch abandoned on the streets of New York. After doing a little research and believing it to be the $8,000 ‘Bubble’ couch from French brand Roche Bobois, she decided to take it back to her apartment and clean it up. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Joy’s dad picked up the couch in his van and Joy filmed the entire process of brightening up the sofa and moving it to her living room. The TikTok now has over 40 million views, and over 4 million likes – but not everyone thought it was a good idea to take the couch off the sidewalk. Some believed the unique-looking piece wasn’t the real deal and instead claimed it was a knockoff. Others were concerned about possible bed bugs and roach infestations, with no sign of how long the couch had been on the street. In the days that followed it continued to raise eyebrows across the internet, and these are some of the biggest reactions and memes. Have your say in our news democracy.

There's no denying dating can be complicated – and just as we've become familiar with red flags, there's now a rainbow of colours added to the mix. There are green flags (positive indicators the relationship is compatible), pink flags (minor issues or relationship concerns that should be monitored) – and now beige flags. Coined by TikToker Caitlin MacPhail, beige flags essentially outline a dull, uninteresting person with a generic dating profile that gives the impression they can't be bothered. Typical examples are using puppy pics (that don't belong to them) as a substitute to cover up for lack of personality, or making love of coffee your quirk. Beige flags differ from person to person, as everyone has different interests and relationship ideas. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "If someone has a lot of beige flags on their profile, you’ll probably get to the end of it without having really learnt anything about them," Caitlin told Mashable. "Something about whether chocolate belongs in the fridge or the cupboard, them saying that they’ll probably love their dog more than you, or lots of gym selfies and references to the gym are typical beige flags," she continued. In a viral clip that racked up over half a million views, Caitlin outlined her top beige flags – and if you're into any mainstream sitcoms, you might want to sit this one out. beige is the new red and in other news dating apps are a wasteland ? #hinge #redflags #datingredflags #hingedating @itscaito beige is the new red and in other news dating apps are a wasteland ? #hinge #redflags #datingredflags #hingedating beige is the new red, and in other news, dating apps are a wasteland ? #hinge #redflags #datingredflags #hingedating Caitlin's "beige flags" has become such a TikTok phenomenon that she now regularly reviews dating profiles in a game called "R U BEIGE??"
