Good week for:
Rehabs, after Google searches for “liquor store near me” hit an all-time high on election night. Searches for “anxiety” and “move to Canada” also skyrocketed.
‘Baby shark,’ after a video for the pre-school megahit that parents love to hate surpassed Luis Fonsi’s ‘Despacito’ to become the most viewed video in YouTube history, with a mind-numbing 7.038 billion views.
Humans, after Walmart decided to “lay off” hundreds of 6-foottall robots it had been using to scan inventory in 500 of its stores. The company decided flesh-and-blood workers did this more efficiently and intelligently, and was concerned that customers were unsettled by coming upon robots in the housewares aisle.
