SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Dating apps are starting to lose their charm — and their users. Stats show that in the UK alone, the biggest platforms dropped over a million users last year. Why? People are simply over it. Swipe fatigue is real, and many are tired of ghosting, flaky chats, and connections that fizzle out faster than you can say “left swipe.” What started as an exciting way to meet someone, according to those who know, has morphed into a mindless loop of boredom, disappointment, and algorithmic frustration. Many apps seem more focused on keeping people on the app than in helping create an actual relationship. Unlike the OG dating sites — like OkCupid, with its charmingly nerdy quizzes – people say that today’s apps are like digital slot machines, running on secretive AI and engagement metrics. And as trust erodes, people are demanding more transparency, more control, and more meaning.

“Survivor” normally waits until about a month before a season premieres to officially reveal its cast, but nothing is normal about what will be the landmark 50th installment of the reality competition series. Even though Survivor 50 won’t hit TV screens until 2026, and the full cast for the season before it (Survivor 49) has yet to be revealed, host and showrunner Jeff Probst announced the Survivor 50 cast on Wednesday’s episode of CBS Mornings. The supersized cast of 24 people marks the biggest group of contestants yet, and features players going all the way back to season 1’s “Survivor: Borneo”.

OF THE DAY
Mattel is opening a theme park in Phoenix. The grand opening is expected for late 2025.
Good news for coffee lovers: your daily brew might be doing more than just waking you up. A new long-term study suggests that women who drink 1-3 cups of caffeinated coffee daily in midlife have a higher chance of aging healthily – that means reaching their 70s free of major chronic diseases, and with good physical, mental, and cognitive health. Interestingly, this benefit was specific to caffeinated coffee; decaf coffee, tea, and sodas didn’t show the same effect. So, while coffee isn’t a magic bullet, it could be a helpful part of a healthy lifestyle.

WEIRD NEWS
A bank in Mexico has been heavily criticized after requiring a 96-year-old woman, who is bedridden due to age and multiple illnesses, to appear in person at a bank branch to verify her identity, in order to receive her pension. In a video and pics that were shared on social media, the woman is seen being transported via ambulance on a bed to visit the BBVA branch in Oaxaca. Her family had submitted the necessary documents, but the bank required her to appear in person to fix a problem with biometric registration that had prevented her from receiving her pension for 6 months. The woman’s daughter said that the woman’s facial features do not match what the bank has on record because her 96-year-old mother “has changed physically; who doesn’t change after so many years?”
