I still cannot believe there is a game for kids that recommends they set up a fire hazard in their beds.

What fire hazard? All bedding made in most parts of the world made in the last 50 years or so are made of very fire-retardant materials. It's actually really hard to set a bed on fire these days.

With cigarettes, sure. With an overheated lithium-ion battery? Not really
Nah, you can take a blowtorch to a modern mattress and you'll burn a hole through it, but it won't catch fire and spread at all.
In fact, that's literally how they test the flame retardant abilities of a mattress; it has to withstand at least 70 seconds of a blowtorch from a foot away. If the fire spreads, it's a fail. That's how most mattresses are tested under the 16 CFR 1640 standard.
I mean that's great for the mattress, but before uour molten lava phone battery starts burning a hole in the mattress, the sheets and duvet and pillows and pajamas will already have gone up in a huge blaze so I don't think it's gonna help much.
Nope, all bedding materials have to undergo the same testing for flame resistance. This includes sheets, blankets, pillow cases, etc. Without the aid of any sort of accelerant, the most that'll happen is you'll get some smoke and charred bits.
Now granted, more people these days are buying bedding materials from Amazon sellers that may not be complying with US laws on these fire standards, so the risk is a bit higher if you're buying online from sellers you don't know. Which is why I always encourage people to NOT buy their bedding materials on Amazon, and instead but directly from a retailer in the US.
That site probably : "Hey kids, did you know that steroids make you better at RingFit Adventures too?"
Meth will help you defend your gym in Pokémon Go.
The original Japanese Twitter comment points out that sleeping pills is a Pay 2 Win mechanic, lol.
Skill issue
TIL there is a thing called Pokemon Sleep
I THOUGHT IT WAS A MEME UNTIL THIS POST
I tried Pokemon Sleep and I didn't like it. It's way more complicated than it needs to be. It's very much a typical mobile game, with lots of meters, currencies, timers, login rewards, etc. And it doesn't make any sense. Why do I need to feed a snorlax to make it bigger? What exactly is my sleep doing? Does the snorlax represent the player, even though the player is clearly a separate entity from the snorlax? Why should I care about friendship meters? It's all ridiculous.
