Posted on June 18 by Zoom Afrika, the 26-second video of an Ethiopian woman doing a Weyba smoke bath quickly drew over 6,800 likes and hundreds of replies filled with crude humor likening it to barbecuing meat.

While memes dominated with Traeger smoker quips and Applewood references, some praised it as ingenious self-care, and similar practices appear among Namibia's Himba women.

James tweeted during Philadelphia's 2023 playoff run: 'Anybody would look great at QB for the Eagles.. yeah ooook. HATERS MAN!! Jalen Hurts is SPECIAL.'

At 27, his 57-25 record tops Eagles starters, and fans highlight his 3-2 mark against Mahomes, plus unbeaten streaks over Allen and Jackson, while rivals point to team support and uneven games like his four-pick outing.
