5 ways people are going "All In" this week
From the silly to the sentimental, there are so many ways people like to go āall inā on something. Here are our five favorite examples this week.
When you hear the words āall in,ā what do you think? You might picture a color-coordinated, fairy-themed surprise proposal that took months to create, or maybe you think of a singer who went on stage and nailed the perfect high note in front of everyone (like this girl). Whatever you picture, the idea is the same: Going āall inā means doing something with total commitmentāliterally giving it your āallā and going completely over the top. No second guessing, no holding backājust full-throttle enthusiasm with some creativity and flair thrown in. Thatās how we get those viral internet moments we canāt stop watching.
When people decide to go āall in,ā something special usually happens as a result, and weāre here to show you how. This week, weāve found the very best examples of people going āall inā across the Internetāmoments where passion, creativity, and commitment take center stage. Follow along and feel inspired.
Hamilton superfansĀ
@itz.unique POV: You seen Hamilton the first night in theaters #hamiltonmusical #fyp #relatable #hamilton ⬠original sound - Uniii š
You already know we love a good Hamilton reenactment. This past weekend, though, Hamilton fans took their love for the musical to a whole other level. As theatres released the filmed stage production in honor of the musicalās tenth anniversary on Broadway, theatre kids everywhere showed up in costume and belted out every single word (itās okay to sing in the theatre this time, by the way! Hamilton creator and star Lin-Manuel Miranda totally said we could). Some theatres sang along quietly, some chimed in loudly at the emotional parts, and some theatres truly went all in, staging elaborate reproductions of the scenes in the aisles, in time with the music. A bunch of theatre kids totally nerding out together, having fun, and celebrating good art? We love to see it.
Everyone's love of Pumpkin Spice Lattes
@deangelodbyrd Itās hereeee šš #pumpkinspicelatte #fall2025 #funnyvideo #silly #funnydance @Starbucks ⬠original sound - DeAngelo
You know it's fall when you start seeing those plastic cups everywhere. That's rightāit's Pumpkin Spice Latte season. Everyone is drinking them. Everyone is posting about them. Everyone is figuring out the perfect PSL pairing, whether that's pumpkin spice matcha lattes or just drinking a PSL curled up on the couch watching some spooky movies. (How about all of the above?)
Here's our recommendation: Pumpkin spice lattes pair perfectly with All In snack barsāspecifically the Madagascar Vanilla + Almond option. It's got honey, it's got pumpkin seeds, and it's even got tons of fiber so you're getting some nutrition along with all the deliciousness. Don't take our word for it, though: Click here to try it yourself (for free).
This rendition of the Happy Birthday song
@kamoramakaylee Happy 84th birthday to our dad #tbt ⬠original sound - Kamora
Thereās singing the Happy Birthday song, and then thereās singing the Happy Birthday song. This group of sisters did the latter. For their fatherās birthday, they presented him with a cake (aww) and then launched into an embellished musical production of the last two lines that would put Whitney Houston to shame. The girls truly went all in, but perhaps the best part of this entire video is their dad,sitting wide-eyed at the table and gritting his teeth until the performance is over. (āHeās fine,ā someone said in the comments section. āHe lost his hearing ten birthdays ago.ā)
Llama costumes
@kristeninmn Some of the costumes from the Minnesota State Fairās 4-H Llama-Alpaca Costume Contest! #minnesotastatefair #mnstatefair #exploremn #onlyinmn #stpaulminnesota ⬠Mr. Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra
Every year at the Minnesota State Fair, the 4-H Llama-Alpaca Costume Contest steals the show. In it, participants dress their llamas in wildly imaginative costumesāeverything from a sea anemone to a bucket of popcorn to Buzz Lightyear from the movie Toy Storyāand transform the livestock barn into a whimsical runway. Every glittery cape, hand-painted prop, or themed outfit is a testament to their creativity, their time and effort, and most importantly their love for animals. All of it is on full display and itās seriously impressive work. You can tell when it comes to their animals (and creativity), Minnesotans donāt hold back.
This dog who's totally faking it.Ā
@binkythechichi2 The king of drama
⬠original sound - cass
Okay, you have to give this guy some respectāhe really doesnāt want his owner to go to work and heās found an absolutely genius way of showing it. As soon as her alarm goes off in the morning, TikTok creator Cassidy Butler shared that her chihuahua Binky runs to the front door and actually starts faking injuries to get her to stay home with him (and sometimes, she admits, it works). Binky is absolutely committed, holding up his paw as though it were injured, plus shivering and even squinting one eye to show just how injured he is. Heās almost perfectly convincingāuntil Cassidy offers to take him outside to play and he momentarily breaks character. Oops! Still, we respect his dedication to the craft.
Snag your free (!!) snack bars here while this deal lasts. Just pick up a box at Sprouts and text a pic of your receipt to get it for free. Enoy!
Before you click 'send' on anything else, read this comic. It's important.
Everyone seems to be clicking "send" a bit too early nowadays.
We officially live in a world where internet trigger-happy world leaders can send massive populations into a devolved tail spin with erratic tweets, posts, and subsequent responses. These posts can have far-reaching consequences, and in the haste to respond in kind we've forgotten that we've normalized this kind of attitude.
Boulet is a French comic artist who has been writing about this for 15 years.
Originally he started writing an autobiographical series, but when he realized how accessible it was to his readers, he decided to make it fictional. "So it's mostly 'drawn stand up comedy,'" he explains. "I'm the main character, but in the same way comedians are there own character when they are on stage. The purpose is not really to talk about me but about situations of everyday's life everyone can relate to."
In his words, "The comic (below) was an anecdote about a Facebook mistake, I had basically two choices: Use it as a Facebook status to make my friends laugh or try to dramatize the whole process into an internal crisis to make it a story."

āāāāāāāThat "internal crisis" is something Boulet is very interested in.
Boulet enjoys using the accessible medium of cartoons as a way to explore complex issues. He loves learning about and studying consciousness and neuroscience. His fans enjoy this.
"There were fun discussions in the comments about how the brain works ... the very idea that we have a parallel process that can interfere, overlap or get in conflict is actually a thing. What I found most intriguing about this story was to literally feel my hand freeze BEFORE I could put an explanation on the WHY it froze."
He also had a great suggestion as to figuring out the motivations behind certain posts. "We should always go on social networks with EEGs on. We would learn a lot."
After what we've seen on social media over the last few years, it's hard to disagree.
