Story 1: The Ten States People Hate the Most and the Least
A study in January looked at which states hate each other the most. And the only one that hated all other states equally was New Jersey.
And not to dump on Jersey, but it turns out there’s a lot of SELF HATE going on too . . .
A new study looked at the most-hated states when you include how people who LIVE there feel about it.
In other words, which state is the most hated by everyone else AND itself. And New Jersey is #1.
They got the self-hate stats from a recent poll on state pride, and by looking at how many people have moved away recently.
According to the results, the ten most-hated states are: New Jersey . . . Texas . . . California . . . Oklahoma . . . Florida . . . Michigan . . . Kentucky . . . Indiana . . . Alabama . . . and Kansas.
The ten LEAST-hated states are: Idaho . . . Utah . . . Washington . . . Nevada . . . Arizona . . . Colorado . . . Oregon . . . South Dakota . . . Montana . . . and Wyoming.
Nebraska . . . is just a little outside of the LEAST-hated states and comes in at number 30. 50 is LEAST-hated.
Story 2: Coronavirus Insanity: Opting Out of Aging, Macy’s Won’t Have Santa, and More
Here’s a fresh round-up of coronavirus insanity . . .
1. I’m not sure it works this way . . . but some people in their 20s and 30s who feel like the pandemic has robbed them of this year of their lives have decided to opt-out of aging. So they’re not going to add a year to their age on their next birthday.
2. Macy’s won’t have Santa Claus at its store in New York City for the first time in almost 160 years.
3. All this extra time at home has made it possible for bored kids do all kinds of ridiculous things with their hair . . . which is why this year’s kids’ mullet competition is going viral. The pandemic has led to some really fantastic mullets.
4. Is it possible to play pinball without touching the machine? An arcade in Seattle just introduced touchless pinball machines . . . you control the paddles with foot pedals.
Story 3: Light a Mashed Potato-Scented Candle to Get in the Spirit This Thanksgiving
If you aren’t cooking a traditional Thanksgiving dinner this year, maybe this is the next best thing? Or, at least, not the absolute WORST thing. A company called DW Home is selling a candle that smells like MASHED POTATOES.
They also say there are hints of gravy, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
The candle costs $14 if you’re interested in seeing if a mashed potato candle can get you into the Thanksgiving spirit.
