Some creative artist athletes are using GPS to draw genitals and more! The images are going viral on social media.

As you might know, your GPS or smart watch can track your movements while you exercise. It can keep track of how fast you go, how many calories you burn, and even track the route you took on your run or hike. Then, you can look back and see what you did and where you went. Usually, it’s a circle or some kind of planned trail. However, you can get creative and create your own routes that end up looking like a penis or a portrait of Chappell Roan. That’s what some artist athletes have been doing and it’s taking the internet by storm.

Artist Athletes Are Using GPS To Draw Genitals And More

People are now planning their routes around creating funny shapes with their exercises. It requires a lot of effort and planning, but I’d say it’s definitely worth it. People have used GPS to make hilarious images from their workouts, including penises, sharks, pop icons, and more. Some of them are just funny while others are actually quite detailed and artistic.

The cool thing is, you can do these pretty much anywhere! If you’re in a big city there are plenty of ways to do it and the same goes if you’re out in the open country. The opportuniteis and possibilities are endless!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

Weirdest offseason workouts NFL players swear by

During the NFL offseason, the players have to stay in shape somehow. While most of them lift weights and practice cardio and other standard workouts, some of them like to get creative. From rib punches to sled pushes and yoga mats, you’ll find all kinds of strange workouts from NFL players over the years.

But who are we to question their genius? If it works, it works. And many of these workouts, which go viral online, aren’t just for show. They’re calculated tools in players’ quests for strength, recovery, and a competitive edge in today’s hyper-athletic league. Here are some of the strangest.

Unconventional offseason workouts from NFL players

Micah Parsons – The Gut Punch

Dallas Cowboys star edge rusher Micah Parsons went viral during last year’s offseason for taking some serious punches to the gut. He and a boxer were exchanging punches in a test of abdominal strength.

Core training is indeed necessary for better impact and strike power, and these drills augment physiological strength by prepping breath and reflexes.

Zay Flowers – Pilates

Baltimore Ravens tight end Zay Flowers went the other direction, choosing a calmer method of training last offseason – Pilates.

“It keeps my core strong and keeps me right on the field,” said Flowes. “So I implement this into my workouts and go from there.”

Pilates targets core stability, strength, and flexibility – all things needed on the football field. It also helps control posture and breathing.

Derrick Henry – Chain Pushups

Ravens running back Derrick Henry was once spotted doing pushups, but not regular pushups. His legs are balancing on a stability ball and hands on a band. But he also has a giant chain hanging from his neck.

This is a true test of his core strength and balance, but why the chain? It’s not the main idea here, but it does add weight, making the workout even more intense.

Tua Tagovailoa – Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

The Miami Dolphins quarterback is using jiu-jitsu to try to avoid concussions. In the 2022 season, he suffered two, so he and his jiu-jitsu coach decided to study his film to teach him to fall more safely.

Tennessee Titans (led by coach Mike Vrabel) – Weighted Sled Pushes

In the 2023 offseason, Titans coach Mike Vrabel had his players doing some intense weighted sled push drills that ended in some players collapsing, but also lots of laughs.

One Redditor described it: “I remember people just falling out from these in the Florida heat. Puke flying over, fight or flight kicking in from the stress your body’s undergoing and middle aged men screaming at you like they’re mad.”

Sled pushes train horizontal force, sprint mechanics, posterior chain strength, and conditioning – all with low injury risk. That’s why they’re a staple in NFL offseason programs, especially for linemen and power backs.

Several Players in 2018 (Odell Beckham Jr., Alvin Kamara, Saquon Barkley, Todd Gurley) – Vehicle Pulls, Medicine-Ball Catches, and 315‑lb Deadlift to 42″ Box Jumps

Perhaps most notable of these was New Orleans Saints running back Alkin Kamara pulling a jeep behind him preparing to run all over defenses in the next season.

Vehicle pulls train athletes to produce maximal horizontal force, the kind needed in short-yardage plays.

Jameis Winston: Everything He Does

Okay, I’ll pick one. But seriously, this guy is hilarious.

Jameis Winston – Towel-Throwing

The now New York Giants quarterback has had his share of interesting workouts and has become known for them over his time in the NFL. In this drill, Winston lobs a towel (instead of a football) but doesn’t actually let go of it, moving his feet and shouting out numbers—an oddball mix of ball security, rhythm, and footwork training. The dog running around is just added bonus entertainment.

Winston’s unusual drills may look more TikTok fodder than traditional QB prep, but they do serve their purpose – they’re creative ways to build core quarterback skills: ball control, pocket presence, and mental toughness.

AI Videos of Black Women Depicted as 'Bigfoot' Are Going Viral

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 hit with online audiences when it dropped at the company’s developer conference in May. Surreal generations of Biblical characters and cryptids, like bigfoot, doing influencer-style vlogging quickly spread across social media. AI-generated bigfoot vlogs were even used by Google as a selling point in ads promoting the new feature.

With “bigfoot baddies,” online creators are taking what was a fairly innocuous trend on social media and repurposing it to dehumanize Black women. “There’s a historical precedent behind why this is offensive. In the early days of slavery, Black people were overexaggerated in illustrations to emphasize primal characteristics,” says Nicol Turner Lee, director of the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution.

“It’s both disgusting and disturbing that these racial tropes and images are readily available to be designed and distributed on online platforms,” says Turner Lee.

One of the most popular Instagram accounts posting these generated clips has five videos with over a million views, less than a month after the account’s first post. The AI videos feature the animal-woman hybrids speaking African American Vernacular English in a caricatured manner, with the characters often shown wearing a bonnet and threatening to fight people. In one clip, the AI generation, using a country accent, implies she pulled out a bottle of Hennessy liquor that was stored in her genitals.

Veo 3 can create everything seen in videos like this, the scenery to the spoken audio to the characters themselves, from a single prompt. The bio of the popular Instagram account includes a link to a $15 online course where you can learn how to create similar videos. In videos with titles like “Veo 3 does the heavy lifting,” three teachers use voiceover to step students through the process of prompting the AI video tool for bigfoot clips and creating consistent characters. The email address listed as the administrator of the online course bounced back messages when WIRED attempted to contact the creators.

A spokesperson for Meta, which owns Instagram, declined to comment on the record. Google and TikTok both acknowledged WIRED’s request for comment, but did not provide a statement prior to publication.

Our social media analysis found copycat accounts on Instagram and TikTok reposting the “bigfoot baddie” clips or generating similar videos. A repost of one video on Instagram has 1 million views on an AI-focused meme page. A different Instagram account has another “bigfoot baddie” video with almost 3 million views. It’s not just on Instagram; an account on TikTok dedicated to similar AI-generated content currently has over 1 million likes. These accounts did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“If I die here, I better get resurrected with a BBL,” says an AI-generated female bigfoot on a different account, talking to the camera as she dodges bombs while vacationing in Israel. “One of the problems with generative AI is that the creators of AI tools cannot conceive of all of the ways that people can be horrible to each other,” says Meredith Broussard, a professor at New York University and author of More Than a Glitch, a book about biases in technology. “So, they can’t put up a sufficient number of guardrails. It’s exactly the same problem we’ve seen on social media platforms.”

After clicking on a few of the female bigfoot videos, the Instagram Reels feed for our test account was soon filled by the algorithm with other racist videos—including an AI generation of a Black man on a fishing boat excitedly catching a piece of fried chicken and referring to a chimpanzee as his son.

While these AI videos are upsetting, they are not necessarily surprising. Back in 2023, as an AI-generated video of Will Smith eating spaghetti was going viral on social media, WIRED senior writer Jason Parham dissected the video as a form of minstrelsy. “This coming age of new minstrelsy will assume an even more cunning chameleon form, adaptive and immediate in its guile, from humanistic deepfakes and spot-on voice manipulations to all manner of digital deceit,” Parham wrote at the time.

With this latest wave of generative AI video tools, helmed by Google’s Veo 3, it’s never been easier to produce photorealistic AI videos. The ease of generating numerous videos paired with the consistent spread of AI slop on social media platforms is part of what’s popularized these “bigfoot baddies.” More social media trends where creators use AI to attack minority groups will likely continue. “AI has not only made it easier to manipulate images,” Turner Lee says. “But the algorithm itself, and the ecology of the algorithm, has also made it easier to share or to ramp up your consumption of this content.”

BlockDAG's presale surges with 3,025% ROI potential, 2 million users, and viral social media traction

The X1 Miner App, developed by BlockDAG, has become one of the most downloaded crypto mining apps of the year. The app’s Proof-of-Engagement mining model encourages users to check in daily, complete in-app boosts, and invite others, creating a viral loop that has turned every user into a promoter. This has made the X1 app a top trending Web3 mobile tool on platforms like Discord and Reddit.

BlockDAG’s decision to partner with two U.S. professional teams, the Seattle Seawolves (MLR) and Seattle Orcas (MLC), has brought mainstream attention to the project. These partnerships have not only expanded BlockDAG’s reach into the sports industry but have also bridged into real-world visibility. The announcement went viral across both sports and crypto communities, with athletes, influencers, and fans resharing branded content. This has resulted in millions of impressions and has positioned BlockDAG as a leader in the Web3 space.

BlockDAG is dominating across all major social media platforms, including X (Twitter), Telegram, and YouTube. On X (Twitter), BDAG has seen over 120,000 mentions in July alone. On Telegram, there are over 100,000 users and dozens of active communities. On YouTube, explainer videos, miner reviews, and prediction breakdowns are pushing BDAG into the wider retail investor landscape. No other Layer 1 project in 2025 has grown this fast socially, and it’s showing up in presale numbers.

BlockDAG’s presale is still offering BDAG at $0.0016, locked until August 11. Once the GLOBAL LAUNCH release goes live, the price is set to climb significantly, with the official listing pegged at $0.05, giving current buyers a 3,025% ROI potential. The combination of real ecosystem growth, viral user activity, confirmed U.S. partnerships, and a fully detailed launch plan has created a perfect storm of trust, excitement, and community energy. BlockDAG is no longer just trending — it’s the presale of the year.

While most crypto projects burn out during the presale or quietly fizzle post-launch, BlockDAG is doing the opposite. It’s building loud, delivering fast, and going viral before it even hits exchanges. With social momentum peaking, miner shipments starting next week, and the GLOBAL LAUNCH release locked for August 11, this may be the last time to enter before BlockDAG’s valuation enters an entirely new tier. The crypto world is watching, and BDAG is quietly — and loudly — becoming the most powerful Layer 1 under $1 in 2025.

Sophie Cunningham's Twerk Goes Viral After Fever's Historic Commissioner's Cup Victory

The Indiana Fever just made franchise history, but all eyes were on Sophie Cunningham’s postgame celebration.

After the Fever’s stunning 74–59 win over the Minnesota Lynx in the 2025 Commissioner’s Cup final, Fever reserve guard Sophie Cunningham decided to cap the night with some dance-floor flair. As her teammates rejoiced on the court and posed with the hardware, Cunningham turned her back to the camera, dropped low, and gave the lockeroom and Instagram Live a twerk, a brief but instantly viral moment that ignited a social media firestorm.

Some fans were all for it. Others, not so much.

The Game: A Statement Win Without Caitlin Clark

Indiana’s win was dominant and, more importantly, gritty.

With All-Star point guard Caitlin Clark sitting out her third straight game due to a groin ailment, the Fever trailed by 13 early in the second quarter. Instead of collapsing, they flipped the switch. The Fever closed the first half on a merciless 18–0 run, turning a 27–14 deficit into a 32–27 lead at halftime and silencing the Minnesota home fans.

From there, it was the Fever’s game. The Fever’s lead grew to 14 in the third quarter, and Minnesota was able to get no closer than six points of catching up again. Indiana’s defense stifled the Lynx, holding them to 34.9% shooting and forcing 16 turnovers.

Seasoned Indiana forward Natasha Howard was the unanimous Cup final MVP with 16 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and two steals. All-Star center Aliyah Boston was similarly effective at 12 points, 11 rebounds, and six assists. Cunningham started hot off the bench to provide a clutch jolt: 13 points, seven rebounds, and three threes.

“Sophie for the Culture!”: Social Media Reacts to Celebration Heard ‘Round the Timeline

But for many fans watching the game or catching the highlights online, the storyline pivoted from gritty defense to cheeky dancing.

Sophie Cunningham’s postgame twerk didn’t last more than a few seconds, but it was long enough for the internet to divide into camps.

On X (formerly Twitter), one fan gushed,

“Sophie so cute.”

Another simply wrote,

“Sophie Cunningham. That’s the tweet.”

And of course, someone threw their support behind her completely:

“My fav WNBA player.”

Yet the celebration had its fair share of detractors and skeptics.

One unimpressed viewer wrote:

“ZERO motion back there. Embarrassing for an athlete.”

Another took issue with the entire concept:

“Why is this the go-to for so many women? I don’t get it. No matter what happens they have to do this dumb shit.”

Another tweet, dripping with sarcasm, read:

“Was the twerking in the room with us..”

Still, others were more playful:

“That little thing moving.”

And of course, no social media moment is complete without someone shooting their shot:

“I would treat her so well man.”

But the sentiment that seemed to dominate the viral moment?

“Sophie for the culture!”

What This Means for the Fever and Cunningham’s Brand

Though the Commissioner’s Cup is technically a midseason competition and doesn’t affect regular-season standings, the win and the $500,000 prize pool that came with it signal a culture shift for Indiana. The Fever are no longer the rebuilding team anchored solely by Caitlin Clark’s spotlight. They are a unit.Deep.Versatile.Dangerous.

As for Sophie Cunningham, the 28-year-old Missouri alum might not have led the team in scoring, but she certainly led the postgame conversation. The seven-year WNBA veteran has always brought energy and edge to the court, and now, apparently, to the dance floor too.

The Fever Keep It Moving

Head coach Stephanie White was all business postgame.

“We have a resilient group,” White told reporters. “They’re tough – mentally, physically.They pull for one another… It’s nice to take a trophy home, but this isn’t the ultimate goal. It’s a goal. And we’ve got to continue to get better.”

The Fever turn their attention back to the regular season now. They begin a five-game home stand on Thursday by hosting the Las Vegas Aces at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Attendance will be watched closely, both for the game itself and the postgame celebration.

Sophie Cunningham’s twerking viral moment may have divided folks, but here’s something that’s not debatable: in a league still fighting for relevance in the mainstream, she made sure the Fever’s win was not overlooked.
