Screenshot: YouTube Amazon Prime has released a trailer for its spin on the Shark Tank concept: Buy It Now, a JB Smoove-hosted show where people put their product ideas before a panel of investors. The twist is that they’ll also be judged by “The 100,” which Amazon says is an audience of “potential customers” (otherwise known as “people”), and if their products are picked, Amazon will sell them in a special section of the store. The company announced the show earlier this year but has now released a trailer showing what it will look like. Contestants pitch their ideas to the audience. If the crowd votes for them, then the panelists pick which ones will show up on Amazon’s Buy It Now Store: a new storefront launching alongside the show that viewers can reach... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge Reddit is giving its staff a lot more power over the communities on its platform. Starting today, Reddit moderators will not be able to change if their subreddit is public or private without first submitting a request to a Reddit admin. The policy applies to adjusting all community types, meaning moderators will have to request to make a switch from safe for work to not safe for work, too. By requiring admin approval for the changes, Reddit is taking away a lever many communities used to protest the company’s API pricing changes last year. By going private, the community becomes inaccessible to the public, making the platform less usable for the average visitor. And that’s part of the reason behind the change. “The ability to instantly... Continue reading…

Nearly five decades after Elvis Presley’s tragic death, more information has come out about the circumstances of his health when he was found unconscious in his bathroom at Graceland. A recently unearthed secret autopsy file is giving the public second thoughts about the true cause of his passing, which was ruled a heart attack in 1977. The Presley household reportedly kept this autopsy file hidden for years despite the procedure being conducted within 24 hours of his passing. His doctor also weighed in on the matter, revealing other health conditions that Elvis suffered. Elvis Presley’s final moments Elvis Presley / Everett Elvis allegedly took about 9,000 drugs via injection and pills seven months before his demise and had a bowel full of unpassed stool in the last four. He gained unhealthy weight due to his poor diet containing junk, fast food, and an outrageous combination of high-calorie meals such as his famous PBJ and bacon sandwich. He also struggled with taking care of himself and resorted to the care of an in-house nurse who would bathe, treat, and clean him up. His death was unsurprisingly linked to his lifestyle, with the public believing he died from chronic constipation while straining on the toilet seat. Elvis Presley / Everett What really killed Elvis Presley? California-based physician Dr. Forest Tennant has come forward to refute the long-running narrative that Elvis died from a heart attack, noting that the late star has underlying health challenges. He defended Elvis’ doctor, George Nichopoulos, who was accused but later acquitted of over-prescribing drugs to Elvis. Elvis Presley / Everett Dr. Forest noted that Elvis’ death and other symptoms like back pain, insomnia, vertigo, and more were a result of a head injury he suffered in 1967.Elvis had tripped over a TV cord and hit his head on the bathtub, causing brain tissue to get into his bloodstream. This may have resulted in an autoimmune inflammatory disorder as his body attempted to repel the foreign parts.
