AMC's 'Dune' sandworm popcorn bucket goes viral because it looks very NSFW

Let me get something off my chest: Writing this article took longer than it should have because I had to brainstorm a PG headline for a popcorn bucket that the internet has compared to both a sex toy and a butthole in the past 24 hours. So yeah, let me introduce you to AMC's limited edition Dune: Part Two sandworm popcorn vessel.

This...this is what it looks like. Brace yourself. It's weird.

A lot of people think this sandworm bucket looks like Fleshlight, which is a sex toy that you use to... You know what, I'm assuming you can figure that one out. Needless to say, that probably wouldn't be most folks' first choice for a container that holds popcorn.

There were lots of good jokes.

There was a great dril reference.

And honestly, I cannot count or unsee the number of references to buttholes, genitals, sex, and everything else that this cursed bucket inspired online.

I just wonder... Did the marketing team do this on purpose? Did they really not consider what this thing looked like? I mean, I get that it looks like the sandworms in the movie, but it also looks...exactly like what everyone has said it looks like. Was everyone in that marketing meeting too embarrassed to raise their hand and go, "Uh, hey everyone, does that kind of look like...?"

Then again, it did get a lot of attention and create a lot of internet buzz. NSFW, crass attention — but attention nonetheless. So now you know, if go see Dune: Part Two, be prepared to potentially witness some things you can't unsee in the movie theater.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...
