Company Charges People $1.99 Per Minute to Talk to AI-Powered Jesus Avatar

For centuries, billions of Christians have dreamed of conversing with their lord and saviour Jesus Christ, if only for a few seconds. Now, tech company Just Like Me is using AI to finally make that dream a reality, sort of. According to Just Like Me, Jesus AI is a modern mentor rooted in love—designed to inspire, guide, and uplift anyone seeking support in daily life.

Company CEO Chris Breed said the company’s Jesus AI model was trained on the King James Bible as well as sermons from various preachers. He also clarified that the AI chatbot is not intended to replace faith, clergy, scripture, or personal beliefs, but only offers a compassionate presence to help you navigate real-life challenges with positivity and clarity.”

By paying a fee of $1.99 per minute, or $49.99 for 45 minutes of conversation with Jesus AI, users can have video calls with a digital avatar of Jesus Christ based on actor Jonathon Roumie’s portrayal of the Messiah on the TV show The Chosen.

“This is evil. You can talk to the real Jesus for free whenever you want,” one person commented on X.

“1.99 a minute? Whew, getting my confessions in with Jesus also got hit by inflation,” someone else commented.

TikTok Trend of Eating Mini Clay Pots Raises Health Concerns

A recent TikTok trend has people confused—and a little concerned. Videos show users eating mini clay pots, a practice where small clay containers are covered in lime juice and Tajín seasoning, then eaten whole.

The trend started with TikTok creator Janeth Herrera, who shared videos of herself eating these clay pots during her pregnancy. Her clips quickly went viral, gaining millions of views. Some viewers are curious and even eager to try eating mini clay pots themselves, while others find the idea strange or unappealing.

Experts say cravings like this may be linked to a condition called pica, which causes people to crave non-food items such as dirt or clay. This can sometimes happen during pregnancy or when the body lacks certain nutrients like iron. However, even if basic lab results appear normal, there may still be underlying deficiencies.

While the trend of eating mini clay pots continues to spread online, medical advice remains clear: the risks outweigh any potential benefits.

Chances are, your everyday vehicle has four wheels. Did you know there was once a vehicle with EIGHT??

The Reeves-Overland Octoauto: 8 Wheels of Pure Insanity

Built in 1911 by American inventor Milton O. Reeves, this beast was wild, and we’re talking about 8 wheels on a car that was already big enough to make a Ford Model T look like a toy.

Why 8 wheels? Well, Reeves thought, "Why not?" Back in the early 1900s, the roads were terrible, so Reeves thought adding extra wheels would make things smoother. Was he right? Well... kind of. But mostly no.
