Story 1: Mean People Are More Likely to Be Addicted to Social Media
Well this sounds about right. A new study found that if you enjoy making people feel angry or embarrassed, you’re more likely to be addicted to SOCIAL MEDIA.
Researchers at Michigan State and Cal State Fullerton tracked the activity of 472 college students on Facebook and Snapchat. And the ones who were the most addicted were more likely to be aggressive, and do things like cyberbullying.
Their conclusion was that social media platforms are basically set up to, quote, “cater to people who seek rewards from being cruel.” They also found the average college student uses Facebook for 2 hours and 15 minutes a day, and Snapchat for 2 hours and 38 minutes.
Story 2: A Woman Tries to Hire a Hitman Through a Joke Site Called RentAHitMan.com
This woman probably should have realized you can’t hire people like this through a normal Google search . . .
A 51-year-old woman near Detroit named Wendy Wein wanted to KILL her ex-husband. So she searched online and found a website called RentAHitman.com.
The entire site is just a joke. It claims to have 18,000 hitmen stationed around the country . . . that it’s headquartered at the Mar-a-Lago Club . . . and that the company recently had to cut ties with the Illuminati and Jeffrey Epstein.
It also brags about being “HIPPA” compliant, which they say stands for the, quote, “Hitman Information Privacy and Protection Act of 1964.”
Somehow, she still fell for it and filled out a request form detailing how she wanted her ex-husband killed. Then whoever runs the site saw the request come through and called the cops.
They set up a sting in a parking lot, and arrested her when she offered an undercover cop $5,000 for the hit, plus travel expenses. She’s facing charges for solicitation to commit murder.
Story 3: Does Dropping a Pickle in Cheap Beer Make It Taste Better?
I might just be crazy enough . . . and bored enough . . . to try this. People online claim that if you want to make a cheap light beer taste better, just drop a PICKLE in there.
It’s not a new idea. “Esquire” did a write-up on it a few years ago. But does it really work? Well, if you HATE pickles, the answer is no. But if you like them, the answer is . . . maybe.
Some people think it gives light beer a nice kick because pickles have so much salt. So they go well with beer just like other salty foods, like chips, pretzels, and fries. Just make sure you use a big enough glass. It tends to foam up when you drop the pickle in.
