These Fast Food Restaurants Hiked Their Prices the Most Last Year

The days of "fast food" being "cheap food" are long gone, and prices seem to always be increasing. We can blame that phenomenon on rising inflation, and while a trip to a McDonald's drive-thru is still cheaper than settling in for a meal at your favorite steakhouse, it's far from inexpensive. In fact, prices soared in 2024 as some of the most well-known fast food chains hiked prices to make our favorite treats more costly than ever. Not all fast food is created equal, and one restaurant has inc

AI Videos of Black Women Depicted as ‘Bigfoot’ Are Going Viral

An AI-generated “bigfoot baddie,” with acrylic nails and a pink wig, speaks directly to her imaginary audience using an iPhone. “We might have to go on the run,” she says. “I’m wanted for a false report on my baby daddy.” This AI video, generated by Google’s Veo 3, has racked up over a million views on Instagram. It’s just one of many viral posts on Instagram and TikTok viewed by WIRED that depict Black women as primates and perpetuate racist tropes using AI video tools. Google’s Veo 3 was a hi

5 Best Food Dehydrators, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

I’ve been food dehydrator-curious for longer than I can remember. I knew some fellow mushroom foragers had these mysterious and bulky-looking appliances, but I never looked into owning one until I tried to dry sliced sweet potatoes in my gas oven. Not only did using my stove at its lowest setting for hours produce indoor air pollution, but I was unable to set my gas stove below 170 degrees Fahrenheit. My efforts produced burnt versions of the dried sweet potato slices sold as my dog’s overpriced

I write type-safe generic data structures in C

June 25, 2025・7 minute read I write type safe generic data structures in C using a technique that I haven’t seen elsewhere. It uses unions to associate type information with a generic data structure, but we’ll get to that. My approach works for any type of data structure: maps, arrays, binary trees… but for this article I illustrate the ideas by implementing a basic linked list. Since many people aren’t aware you can do C generics at all, I figured I’d start simple and build up to this: typede

The World Is Producing More Food than Ever—but Not for Long

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Globally, humanity is producing more food than ever, but that harvest is concentrated in just a handful of breadbaskets. More than one-third of the world’s wheat and barley exports come from Ukraine and Russia, for example. Some of these highly productive farmlands, including major crop-growing regions in the United States, are on track to see the sharpest drops in harvests due to climate change. That’s bad n

Do We Need Another Green Revolution?

The Green Revolution got off to a rocky start. In the fall of 1944, Norman Borlaug, who would become known as the revolution’s father, moved to Mexico to set up a plant-breeding program. Right away, he came down with a stomach crud. It was, he would later tell an interviewer, “the usual tourist thing,” except that it lasted for weeks. Though he had found his previous position, with DuPont, to be boring, in those weeks Borlaug decided that maybe it hadn’t been so bad. “If I could have gotten my j

10 Common Foods That Contain Microplastics and How to Avoid Them

Microplastics are the latest hidden hazard worry for the world -- they've even been found in chewing gum. UCLA researchers have found that every time we chew gum, microplastics are released directly into our mouths. In addition to that, a new study published in Chemistry for Life tested 10 chewing gum brands and found every single one contained microplastics. This was found to be the case with both natural and synthetic varieties. A gram of gum releases around 100 microplastics on average, with

Interesting Bits of Postgres Grammar

I’ve been working on Squawk for a while, it’s a linter for PostgreSQL, and it now uses a handmade parser. So let’s explore some interesting bits from the Postgres grammar. Custom Operators Very few operators are defined in the grammar itself and lots of Postgres features rely on custom operators. For example, Postgres uses <-> for comparing geometric types, along with a whole host of others: ## , @-@ , # , @> , <@> , &< , &> , |>> , |<< , <^ , >^ , ?- , ?| , ?|| , ~= . Note: custom operator

Backlash to artificial dye grows as Kraft ditches coloring for Kool-Aid, Jell-O

Kraft Heinz promised Tuesday to purge certain artificial food dyes from its products by the end of 2027, a move that follows pressure from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to excise color additives from the nation’s food supply because of potential health risks. The company said it will replace food, drug and cosmetic (FD&C) dyes with natural versions when possible; create new colors and shades, if necessary; or simply remove colors. Nearly 90 percent of Kraft Heinz prod

New dating for White Sands footprints confirms controversial theory

The 2009 discovery of footprints (human and animal) left behind in layers of clay and silt at New Mexico’s White Sands National Park sparked a contentious debate about when, exactly, human cultures first developed in North America. Until about a decade ago, it seemed as if the first Americans arrived near the end of the last Ice Age and were part of the Clovis culture, named for the distinctive projectile points they left behind near what’s now Clovis, New Mexico.
