Hot Jimothy summer is over; now it’s “three bowls of water” fall.

The Jimothy craze has died down up here in Seattle just in time for a new Weird Internet Thing: three mysterious bowls of water on the walking path around Green Lake. It started with an innocent question on r/Seattle: what’s up with the bowls? Commenters turned it into a bit, because we can’t resist a bit, which inspired an on-the-scene report by City Cast Seattle. Spoiler alert: it’s probably just water for dogs, but I like the mysterious “geese” theory. [Media: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Ddpc1UpBaJq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D]

Rockstar’s GTA VI collectible box packs a “swizzle stick,” mirror, hat, and more for $399.99, but no game.

Not only is the price higher than the $90 GTA IV and $150 GTA V collectible sets, but this time around Rockstar says “Grand Theft Auto VI game sold separately,” for $79.99 or $99.99, respectively. What you do get in that $400 box is a 6-inch figurine of Macca the Gator with a stash compartment, a matching spoon and magnetic mirror that are definitely not made to snort stuff stored in said stash compartment, plus GTA-branded Oakley sunglasses, hat, a crossbody bag, a shot glass, stickers, pins, and a souvenir poster.
