Uber is going under.

Down under—to Australia's Great Barrier Reef.


The popular ride sharing app is launching a submarine, called ScUber, in partnership with Tourism Queensland. Travelers in certain parts of Queensland can book a trip for an up-close look at the famous Great Barrier Reef through the Uber app, just like the company's more traditional auto rides.

Take a look at the demonstration below.

Predictably, it's going to cost a lot more than your average trip downtown: around $1000 per person.

Nevertheless, people are pretty excited.

Others remain skeptical.

If you want to take the submarine for a test drive without forking over the dough, Uber and Tourism Queensland have launched a global sweepstakes that you can enter until June 18th.

Sea you soon.

Treasury Secretary Shows Off New $100 Bills With Trump's Signature—And Critics Have Thoughts

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent did not get a positive response after appearing on Fox News host Jesse Watters' program to show off bills that include President Donald Trump's signature set to enter circulation soon in honor of the nation’s 250th birthday.

Federal law generally prohibits depicting living people on U.S. currency. However, the Treasury Department has argued that the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020, which Trump signed during his first term, provides the administration with legal authority to make an exception for commemorative designs tied to the nation's semiquincentennial celebrations.

Photos of the statue have gone viral as tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate. Trump announced he would scrap a proposed 20% reimbursement fee on cargo passing through the Strait of Hormuz, saying Gulf nations would instead increase investments in the United States.

Reporter Alison Hammond Hilariously Ditches Live Segment To Bumrush Prince Harry For A Hug In Now-Viral Clip

Alison Hammond reacted to seeing Prince Harry the same way many people probably would—she just happened to do it on live television. In a matter of seconds, the live segment transformed into a decidedly Prince Charming encounter between the presenter and the royal.

Hammond was in her hometown of Birmingham on Friday to speak with the Duke of Sussex about the Invictus Games, which will arrive in the city next year. The interview, however, briefly became secondary the moment she spotted Prince Harry approaching from behind.
