Rangers patrolling the Kaeng Hat Oi Forest, Thailand, apprehended a young man who seemed suspicious after repeated reports of fires in the area. The suspect was found to be carrying a lighter and did not have a valid reason for why he was there, so he was taken in for questioning.
At the police station, the 22-year-old man who was later identified as Matina, admitted to setting the fires because was bored out of his mind. “I just wanted to have fun. I had nothing to do, so I started a fire to get forest rangers to put it out.

I just acted out of recklessness,” said Matina.
The suspect was then taken to the Chat Trakan Police Station to be charged with damaging natural resources. The young arsonist is still in custody, but his penalties are yet to be announced.
Thailand is already facing a number of forest fires started by natural causes and agricultural burning but this is a first. House fires are a different matter entirely, though, as there are several cases of people setting homes on fire for their own entertainment.

Orhan Avci, a local Turkish politician, has an impressive moustache that has the ability to completely distract you from the man’s bald head. He was recently appointed as the chairman of the Huzur party in the Karlıova district, but that was not what attracted the internet.
Avci’s party shared a photo of him to mark his appointment, but all that everyone could focus on was Avci’s moustache. His cool stache has created an entire series of humorous comments and nicknames, one of which is the Turkish Final Boss. “Isn’t the pandemic over? Why is he still wearing a mask?” one person joked.

Population Problems
Japan’s birth rate has been declining for a while, but now, the crisis has become so serious that the local government in a town called Kochi Prefecture is paying people $125 (R 11,784) to download a dating app. This has truly taken a unique step in government interventions, as entire regions face major population collapse issues.
That’s a pig deal!
Shabu-yo, which is a well-known Japanese all-you-can-eat hot pot restaurant chain, has recently gone viral because of its incredibly thin pork slices, that are actually see-through. Social media has dubbed this as ‘stealth pork’. “Being able to slice it this thin is pretty impressive tech in a way lolllll. If they wanna cut costs that bad, they should just stop doing all-you-can-eat in the first place lolllll,” one person posted on X. The original photo of the cuts has garnered over 3 million views on X alone.
Moo-ve please!
Fed-up farmers now want to breed ‘uglier’ cows after influencers flock to farms to take pictures with cattle.“My cows don’t get any peace,” says Alex Birch, a farmer from Derbyshire. He’s hoping they leave his beautiful bovine alone, and for this to happen, he has pledged to breed uglier cows. “The intention is to make them less photogenic.” There was a concerning increase in the number of people coming to his farms to film videos of his “floofy” cows.

The Finnish Air Force has disciplined cadets on a training flight because they used their flight patterns to create the shapes of male genitalia in the sky. The Flightradar tracking service showed four planes creating shapes of penises. Something’s funny in the air.
Bear with me!
On Tuesday in Albany, New York, multiple roads were closed when a black bear climbed a tree and lounged on a branch for hours. The bear’s presence in the area closed down multiple roads, till it was shot with a tranquilizer dart and caught in a net below the tree. Soon after, the roads were reopened and the bear was sent to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. What a hairy situation!
