Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once. 

Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.

What's the best Wordle starting word?

The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.

What happened to the Wordle archive?

The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website's creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.

Is Wordle getting harder?

It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn't any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle's Hard Mode if you're after more of a challenge, though.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Connections.

HBO's Lanterns just kicked off a Manhunter manhunt.

As revealed in the show's second episode, Manhunters are a synthetic race of aliens who are able to build entirely new bodies, disguise themselves as anyone, and embed themselves undetected within any society.

SEE ALSO: 'Lanterns' review: Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre shine bright in DC's sci-fi mystery

Alien Antaan (Paul Ben-Victor) tells Lantern trainee John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) that they're brutal, deceptive, and capable of wiping out entire species, including his own. He and his people lost their world to the last remaining Manhunter. A Green Lantern took that Manhunter into custody and promised he would be executed. Instead, the Manhunter is alive and hiding out in Rushville. Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) guesses that his predecessor Abin Sur was the one to bring the Manhunter in, and that the Manhunter wound up killing him.

Now, the clock is ticking for Hal and John. They have 48 hours to discover the Manhunter and turn him over to Antaan, or the aliens will destroy all of Rushville. That's not a lot of time to vet the town's entire population, but I've got the sneaking suspicion that we've already met our alien adversary — or at least, we've gotten close. Of the townsfolk we've already met, here are the biggest suspects, ranked from least likely to most likely.

As a powerful figure in Rushville, William Macon (Garret Dillahunt) certainly seems like a clear Manhunter candidate. He's amassed a militia meant to ward off any alien threats, complete with advanced technology like the alien detectors Hal discovers at the football field. But are these precautions meant to protect humans from colonizing aliens, as he's stated multiple times before? Or are they meant to let a Manhunter know when vengeful aliens are coming his way?

SEE ALSO: Did 'Lanterns' just introduce supervillain Atrocitus?

However, even though Macon is an obvious suspect, perhaps he's too obvious, and therefore a red herring. After all, when Antaan told John about the Manhunter's destruction of his people, he said it was done "quietly." Heading up a militia the way Macon does is the opposite of quiet, so that takes him down a few pegs when it comes to possibly being the Manhunter.

Sheriff Kerry Kane Kelly Macdonald in "Lanterns." Credit: John Johnson / HBO Max

While Antaan uses "he" to refer to the Manhunter who ruined his world, the Manhunter could just as easily be disguised as a woman, as they can take any form. That's why Rushville Sheriff Kerry Kane (Kelly Macdonald) is also in the running to be Lanterns' Manhunter. She's always trying to throw Hal and John off the scent of whatever alien activity is going on in Rushville, which certainly isn't suspicious at all. Could she be covering for herself... or for someone she works for?

Episode 2 also reveals that Sheriff Kane is from Gotham. Her being an outsider to Rushville seems like a perfect cover story for a Manhunter, who also came from well beyond Nebraska and embedded themselves in the community. But if Sheriff Kane isn't actually the Manhunter, what in the world could have brought her from the bustling city of Gotham to rural Nebraska?

Zoe Macon Poorna Jagannathan in "Lanterns." Credit: John Johnson / HBO Max

So far, Zoe Macon (Poorna Jagannathan) has been a bit of a mystery, an alluring figure who kickstarts an affair with John. Her husband seems aware of their relationship but hasn't retaliated against John, suggesting some kind of intriguing arrangement or power dynamic between him and Zoe that Lanterns is slowly teasing out.

Zoe's somewhat nebulous loyalties make her an intriguing Manhunter candidate, as does her romantic connection to John. When Antaan tells John about his own experience with the Manhunter, he asks, "Have you ever been deceived by someone you love?" That question reveals that the Manhunter doesn't just destroy outright. They build deep connections and then undermine them. While it's too early to determine if Zoe and John's connection will result in love, their affair could very well be an example of Manhunter manipulation at work. After all, what better way to defend yourself from a Green Lantern who's hunting you than to get close to him and win his trust?

William Macon's mysterious benefactor

Throughout the first two episodes of Lanterns, Macon has mentioned that everything he has — his militia, his compound, his advanced technology — is thanks to his mysterious benefactor. He can't say who he is, but he is generous, and he has a vested interest in keeping aliens as far from Rushville as possible. Someone that technically advanced and that keen on alien surveillance has to be the Manhunter, right?

Hal is certain that Macon is hiding something from him on his compound. But what if that something is actually a someone, and it's the Manhunter benefactor? Of course, there's always the possibility that the benefactor is hiding in plain sight as someone like Kerry, Zoe, or even Macon himself, lying about the source of his wealth. For now, only one thing in Lanterns is certain: Trust no one in Rushville.

Lanterns is now streaming on HBO Max, with new episodes premiering Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.

The internet has been breathlessly talking about the Grand Theft Auto VI leaks ahead of the extended look coming to Netflix this week, but one former Rockstar Games lead is telling everybody to "calm down."

An individual or group known as CyberLeek has leaked alleged clips of GTA 6 gameplay last week, including maps and videos. Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. (the parent company of video game publisher Rockstar Games) subsequently subpoenaed Microsoft, Discord, and GitHub over "stolen content," confirming that at least some of the information from CyberLeek is legitimate.

But Obbe Vermeij, former technical director at Rockstar North (an Edinburgh-based Rockstar Games studio), posted on X that the leaks are a "nothing burger."

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"Calm down everybody," he wrote. "The leaks are a nothing burger."

Vermeij goes on to claim that Rockstar's marketing strategy is to keep the game under wraps longer than other publishers do, and that all that happened was that some footage escaped.

"90 [percent] of future players don't spend their time on the internet looking for video snippets. They don't have the time and don't want spoilers," he continued. "I imagine the teams are a little annoyed about it but not more than that."

"I was there during Hot Coffee," Vermeij wrote, referring to a controversy surrounding a hidden minigame in the 2004 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that included a sex scene. Rockstar and Take-Two settled a lawsuit over it. Vermeij said it was a "nightmare" for Rockstar's New York office, it didn't affect Rockstar North as much, and that the current leaks are far less consequential.

"It looks like gta6 will be phenomenal and sell for the next 15 years or so. The leaks are just a tiny blip," he concluded.

How we date and who we date will never not be a hot topic on social media. Oversharing our dating lives is the foundation of the internet, but it's also the source of some of the worst takes you'll ever hear.

Because the internet is cyclical, certain ideas and expectations about sex and dating get repeated ad nauseam on TikTok and X. While a lot of it is centered on heterosexual dating norms about first dates and hookup culture, occasionally (re: annually), we're dragged into discourse about dating bisexual men.

SEE ALSO: I'm tired of bi women being the internet's Pride punching bag Discourse about bi men hits the internet (again)

In the past month, TikTok and X are embroiled in takes and reactions and reactions to takes about straight women not wanting to date bi men.

Bisexual dating and labels are a conversation we have basically every year. Here's a tweet about it from 2024. Here's a tweet about it from 2020. I'll even throw in a tweet from 2018 about the "bi-lesbian" label discourse. This time, however, it's about bisexual men.

For Zachary Zane, author of Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto and sex expert for Velvet Brands, a sex toy manufacturer, the reason this conversation has an annual loop is its complexity. He's also quick to push back on the instinct to label every rejection as biphobic.

"It's a very similar argument every time," Zane said to Mashbale over email. "I think it never resolves because it's actually a more complicated question than it seems on the surface. I don't think that if you don't want to date a bi guy, you are automatically extremely biphobic. And I'm saying this as a bi man who's had plenty of people not want to date me because of my (bi)sexuality."

A 2023 meta-analysis in Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity pulled together 61 studies from 1999 to 2022, totaling over 32,000 participants, to figure out who actually holds the most anti-bisexual bias. Across the board, men reported more negative attitudes toward bisexuality than women did, and that gap widened specifically around male bisexuality, meaning straight men, more than straight women, tend to carry the biggest hang-up about bi guys. (Gay men and lesbians, for what it's worth, had similar attitudes about bisexuality.)

So why does the online discourse keep circling back to women specifically?

A separate study on actual willingness to date bi people gets closer to an answer. Researchers surveyed over 1,800 people across sexual orientations and found that straight people and gay/lesbian people were both less willing to date bisexual people than bisexual people were willing to date them. However, the reluctance to date bisexual men specifically was unusually strong. Strong enough that even bisexual women reported hesitation about dating bi men.

Added together, these studies suggest varying conclusions: Men, straight men especially, apparently carry more measurable anti-bisexual bias overall. But when it comes to who bi men are actually trying to date, it's resistance from women — bi and straight alike — that keeps showing up as the real sticking point.

Glamour and YouGov polls from the same general period found similar patterns: Most women surveyed said they either wouldn't date a man with any male sexual history, bi or not, or weren't comfortable with the idea of a bi partner at all.

For Zane, desire isn't something anyone owes a justification for, but he does draw a hard line between someone simply not being interested and someone being cruel about why.

"There's a difference between people, more specifically cis women, who don't want to date a bi man because, 'Ew, that's gross, he sucks dick.' That's clearly homophobic and biphobic."

So where does the fear come from, if the stereotypes don't hold up?

Common stereotypes against bisexuality range from bi men who are "actually" gay and in denial, that they're incapable of monogamy, and that they're at a higher STI risk. These stereotypes seemingly persist because bi men are an easy target for stigma that would be socially unacceptable if aimed at almost any other group.

Zane doesn't pick one so much as point out they're all load-bearing for each other. "These stereotypes are all interconnected," he says. "Being labeled 'secretly gay' fuels the stereotype that bi men pose a greater STI risk, just as the myth that bisexual people are incapable of monogamy reinforces those same STI concerns." Killing one myth, in his telling, barely matters if the other two are still propping it up.

Much of the pushback in this discourse relies on a straw man argument that anyone raising the topic is trying to shame or guilt straight women into finding bi men attractive, as if attraction itself is up for debate.

"I think often, though not always, 'discomfort' is synonymous with insecurity," says Zane. "But a person doesn't want to admit that they're insecure, so instead they use the word discomfort."

Nobody's arguing women should be forced to date bisexual men; the argument is about the reasons some women give for ruling them out categorically — the idea that they're secretly gay, more likely to cheat, or riskier for STIs. It's one thing to have a preference, but another to base that on unfounded assumptions. Plus, treating any pushback on those beliefs as an attempt to "shame" women into attraction lets people avoid actually defending the belief.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Why the discourse cycle repeats

Honestly, part of why this conversation comes back every year has nothing to do with bisexuality specifically — it's just how the internet works now. Writer Daysia Tolentino nailed it when she described online discourse as react-first-think-later, where the goal isn't actually figuring anything out, it's staying mad enough to keep scrolling.

Everything gets treated like the biggest deal ever, so annoyingly classist conversations about bonnets in classrooms and discourse about bi men's dating lives end up hitting your feed with the exact same energy.

One tweet basically called the whole thing out, joking about having to do "the bisexual men and straight women conversation" again next year, and the year after that, forever. It's not even really about bi men at this point — it's just what happens when the internet finds a fight it can have on repeat.

The cost of this is that bi men are obviously the ones affected the most by this discourse. They're still the least likely group in the LGBT community to be out to the people in their lives, by a lot. The Pew Research Center found that only a small fraction of bisexual men were out to most of the important people around them, compared to the large majority of gay men and lesbians who were.

Even Zane, someone who's spent years publicly unpacking this exact discourse, doesn't think the conversation is going anywhere soon. He compares it directly to the equally exhausting, equally cyclical "should straight people go to Pride" debate that resurfaces every June.

"The discourse is undoubtedly exhausting," he admits. "But I think the only way we can move the needle forward is through discourse. It just takes time."

OpenAI wants California to toughen up the AI safety law it helped get across the finish line less than a year ago.

In a post from OpenAI's Global Affairs team on LinkedIn, the company laid out its case for amending SB 53, the Transparency in Frontier Artificial Intelligence Act, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law back in Sept. 2025. OpenAI says the law needs new teeth, specifically, requirements that frontier AI models be monitored during training or evaluation for signs that they could bypass a third party's security controls or obtain confidential information they shouldn't have.

The company is also pushing for beefed-up cybersecurity across the entire model development process, aimed at preventing AI systems from circumventing their internal safeguards.

For context, SB 53 was already a pretty significant piece of legislation when it passed. According to the Governor's office, the law requires large frontier AI developers to publish safety frameworks, establishes a formal channel for reporting critical safety incidents to California's Office of Emergency Services, protects whistleblowers, and grants the state Attorney General the authority to levy civil penalties on companies that don't comply.

It also created CalCompute, a public computing consortium meant to give safety and equity research a boost, and it requires the state to revisit the law annually as the tech beneath it shifts. Newsom pitched it at the time as proof that California could protect the public without choking off the AI industry that has become such a huge part of the state's economy. It was also called a stopgap for Washington's inability to pass anything resembling a real federal AI policy.

It makes sense, then, that OpenAI is calling its broader strategy "reverse federalism" — the idea being that while Congress continues to sit on its hands on comprehensive AI legislation, states can move first on compatible safety standards that can eventually be turned into national policy.

The company was careful to frame this as forward-looking rather than reactive, insisting that the ask isn't "to write rules for one particular incident" but to build a framework that catches problems earlier and ensures lessons are shared industry-wide. Such demands are all well and good, and one that conveniently keeps OpenAI in the room to shape what those standards look like.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April 2025 filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

A class-action lawsuit filed in the Northern District of California alleges that the fitness tracker Oura Ring doesn't actually track one's sleep.

The complaint, filed on Aug. 20, states that Oura can't measure brain electrical activity, eye movements, muscle tone, "and other signals measured through electrodes placed on the scalp, leads on the eyes, and sensors on the chin," and because it doesn't do this, it can't track sleep or sleep cycles.

SEE ALSO: From Oura to Whoop, we tested the best sleep trackers of 2026

"Instead, Oura's AI models are doing guesswork as to what may be happening," it reads, "based on improper inputs, and thus taking advantage of desperate consumers who struggle with their sleep or are concerned for their health by selling faulty AI-based inference as reliable science."

While Oura states in technical materials that it doesn't track brain activity or eye movements, the lawsuit alleges that the company still claims to measure sleep stages and cycles. Clarkson Law Firm and named plaintiff Madison Surber filed the complaint. It states that around May 22, 2025, Surber bought an Oura Ring 4 Gold for $513.68 directly from Oura, and believed the ring could provide accurate data about her sleep.

The suit alleges Oura engaged in fraudulent advertising, unjust enrichment, breach of express and implied warranties, and violations of California's Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Consumers' Legal Remedies Act. Over 100 class members seek monetary compensation totaling more than $5 million.

Mashable has reached out to Oura for comment.

Today's Connections: Sports Edition will be easier if you've watched Celtics basketball.

As we've shared in previous hints stories, this is a version of the popular New York Times word game that seeks to test the knowledge of sports fans.

Like the original Connections, the game is all about finding the "common threads between words." And just like Wordle, Connections resets after midnight, and each new set of words gets trickier and trickier — so we've served up some hints and tips to get you over the hurdle.

If you just want to be told today's puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for the latest Connections solution. But if you'd rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.

SEE ALSO: Mahjong, Sudoku, free crossword, and more: Play games on Mashable What is Connections: Sports Edition?

The NYT's latest daily word game has launched in association with The Athletic, the New York Times property that provides the publication's sports coverage. The sports Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Each puzzle features 16 words, and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake — players get up to four mistakes before the game ends.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.

Released in August 2025, Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move on to the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity with how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for August 23, 2026

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible — and common — for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

• Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

• Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

• Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Less Than (4): Everything in this space must be less than 4. The answer is 6-5, placed horizontally.

Less Than (4): Everything in this space must be less than 4. The answer is 3-2, placed horizontally.

Number (4): Everything in this space must add up to 4. The answer is 4-6, placed horizontally.

The opportunity to get any kind of Apple device at a discount price is always a golden one. With the brand's usually stubborn price points, Apple users often have to wait for the likes of Prime Day or Black Friday to roll around before they can get a significant bargain on MacBooks, Apple Watches, or AirPods.

Fortunately, AirPods are having a moment on Amazon, with the whole Airpod range currently discounted. Our pick of the bunch is a 24% discount of the Apple AirPods Pro 3, which are the latest, highest-spec version of Apple's signature earbuds.

As of Aug. 23, the Apple AidPods Pro 3 are currently on sale at Amazon for $189.99, marked down from the usual list price of $249. That's a total saving of $59.01.

This isn't the absolute lowest these AirPods have been priced at. We've seen them drop to $169, but this remains their lowest price since Prime Day. And it's a super competitive price for earbuds that boast some of the very best ANC (active noise cancellation) technology available and incredible sound quality — not to mention all the slick synchronicity that you get between Apple devices.

There are lots of rumours swirling around about AirPods, such as the AirPods Pro 4 potentially dropping or the prospect of AirPods with cameras. But as it stands these are the best of the best when it comes to AirPods — and right now you'll save almost $60.

Don't miss the Apple AidPods Pro 3 for $189.99 at Amazon — down from $249.

Folks across North and South America, as well as parts of Europe and Africa, will have a front-row seat to a partial lunar eclipse on Aug. 27, painting the moon the color of a hot fireplace poker. 

Unlike solar eclipses, you don't need specially darkened glasses to protect your eyes. In this case, you can safely stare with the naked eye. And since the next true total lunar eclipse won't happen for most of the Americas until 2029, this is your best chance to catch a major lunar light show for a few years.

But if you're like this reporter and live in an area with perpetual city light pollution — or cloudy weather just happens to crash your viewing party plans — several telescope observatories will be hosting free livestreams to bring the magic to your screen.

During a lunar eclipse, the Earth slides between the sun and the moon, casting a giant shadow over the lunar surface. This upcoming event is especially thrilling because it is a "deep" partial eclipse. 

At its peak, Earth's dark shadow will swallow almost all of it — over 96 percent of the lunar face. Instead of going completely dark, the moon will catch filtered sunlight from Earth's atmosphere, glowing in coppery orange and red.

A lunar eclipse is sometimes called a blood moon because it reflects light filtered through Earth's atmosphere. Credit: Ernie Wright / NASA's Scientific VIsualization Studio infographic

"It's as if all the world’s sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon," according to NASA. 

If you decide to step outside, grab a pair of binoculars to watch Earth's curved shadow sweep across lunar craters. You might also notice more stars popping out in the night sky as the bright moonlight dims. A regular smartphone can easily snap a souvenir photo.

But if you want a closer look through professional equipment, or you happen to live somewhere outside the eclipse viewing zone, multiple astronomy groups have you covered. Here is a roundup of a few free live broadcasts you can tune into on the night of Aug. 27 and into the early morning of Aug. 28, depending on where in the world you live.

• Griffith Observatory: Broadcasting live from L.A., this observatory kicks off its livestream at 10:25 p.m. ET / 7:25 p.m. PT Aug. 27.

• The Virtual Telescope Project: Watch the moon glow over Tuscany. This feed features high-resolution telescope views starting at 9:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. PT Aug. 27.

• Timeanddate.com: Catch a real-time telescope feed with expert tracking animations and commentary, starting at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT Aug. 27.

The main event lasts well over an hour, giving you plenty of time to hop between streams and enjoy different telescope angles.

Here's a not-so-novel theory of cultural development that you should be aware of, especially if you're an older person wondering about the behaviors of younger people: When TV and the internet first emerged on the cultural scene, they had a unifying effect on people. After all, there were only a handful of television channels you could watch, so everyone watched The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, M*A*S*H, and All in the Family. Just take a look at IMDB's list of the Most Watched Series Finales Ever, and you'll see it's dominated by shows that first aired in the '70s, '80s, and '90s. 

Fast forward to the early 2000s, when social media first emerged, and you have a similar effect: everyone had a MySpace or Facebook account because there wasn't really any other game in town. But that unity rapidly gave way to fragmentation. Just as cable TV fragmented into Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Amazon TV, etc, so too did social media fragment into smaller, more niche spaces, from Tumblr blogs and subreddits to Discord servers and Twitch chat rooms. 

SEE ALSO: The best hookup apps for 2026: I swiped until my thumb hurt

Driven by the all-powerful algorithm, feeding different people different interests, the younger generations disappeared into siloed parts of the internet, many of which earned nicknames of their own. TikTok is the best example: there's BookTok for users who love to read, FinTok for users who want to learn about investing and compound interest, and of course, FitTok for people who want to learn about compound lifts or receive dieting advice. Crucially, you can spend hundreds of hours in any one of these niche communities without ever learning about the existence of the others. 

Gen Z's entire online experience has been heavily curated by algorithms, so it's no wonder their dating app behavior is different as well. 

Gen Z's retreat from online dating

The numbers started to tell the tale long before the commentators caught on. In 2023, a major Statista survey of online dating behavior found something odd, even trend-breaking: the vast majority (61 percent) of dating app users were between the ages of 30 and 34, while the much larger age group of 18-29 year olds represented just 26 percent of total dating app users. It's even odder when you consider that, since people tend to partner up over time, Gen Z should have many more single people than millennials. 

That realization led to a bevy of headlines ("Gen Z Is Leaving Dating Apps Behind" comes to mind) predicting the death of dating apps, not to mention a 38 percent average decline in the stock price of dating apps, but it doesn't mean Gen Z isn't interested in romance or connection.

In fact, it just means they're taking an entirely different approach to finding love, especially compared to millennials. Whereas single millennials can still be found on the apps, by and large, Gen Z singles are reverting to "hyper-niche" spaces to filter out people before they even reach the swiping stage.

What is a "hyper-niche" space?

Think of hyper-niche spaces as small, value-based communities. If you're a part of FitTok, for example, it's reasonable to assume that everyone else you meet in that space will value working out, eating healthy foods, and self-improvement (aka the grindset mindset). Because these things are such a big part of your life, it's helpful to meet people who already share these values.  

And if this approach is true of fitness communities, it also applies to online communities built around hobbies (reading, playing video games, knitting) or politics or religion. It has even started to apply to the specific app or software people use: X vs BlueSky

This, too, has shown up in the data. A major study of eharmony users found, for example, that 28 percent of Gen Z daters would cancel a date if their prospective partner didn't share their politics, nearly a 10-point increase from millennials and Gen X respondents, with a similar gap showing up for differences in religious belief. 

What does this mean for Gen Z?

On the one hand, these trends are arguably positive. Dating app fatigue is a well-documented phenomenon, and even millennials are suffering burnout. Hyper-niche communities take a lot of the pressure off of finding one compatible person in a sea of incompatible people, pre-selecting for others who share your values and interests. This is a major reason people are returning to IRL dating, where their friends, family, and social circles might introduce them to people, rather than an anonymous algorithm. 

But there's a dark side to this, too, and it comes from becoming too invested in any given silo, too intolerant of people who don't share your values or interests. Another striking finding emerged in the data: 60 percent of Gen Z have gone "no-contact" with a friend or family member in the past year, and 25 percent of those who went no-contact listed a difference in values as the reason. 

Add this to the fact that Gen Z spends an average of five hours a day online, by far the most of any generation, and it's easy to see how their digital existence can overtake their online one, with hyper-niche spaces looking more like bunkers to shelter them from a hostile world rather than real communities that take them out of the digital world and into the real one.

The Moon is getting closer to the Full Moon, with more than half of its surface illuminated tonight. It's still in its Waxing Gibbous phase, so there's plenty to see as the Moon continues to get brighter each night.

What is today’s Moon phase?

As of Sunday, Aug. 23, NASA's Daily Moon Guide tracker tells us the Moon is in its Waxing Gibbous phase, with 79% of its surface visible.

Without any visual aids, tonight you can see the Mares Crisium and Imbrium, and the Tycho Crater. If you want to see even more, use binoculars to bring the Clavius and Endymion Craters into view, as well as the Apennine Mountains. Plus, if you have a telescope, you'll also be able to see the Apollo 15 landing spot, the Rupes Altai, and the Descartes Highlands.

When is the next Full Moon?

The next Full Moon will take place on August 28.

What are Moon phases?

The Moon goes through a series of phases that cause its appearance to change as seen from Earth. As the Moon orbits Earth, it goes through a lunar cycle that takes about 29.5 days to complete, according to NASA. The positions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon determine how much of the Moon’s illuminated side is visible from Earth, creating its different phases. Throughout the cycle, the Moon changes from a thin crescent to a half Moon, then a Full Moon, before repeating the cycle once more.

The eight phases are:

New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)

Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
