Story 1: How Many of These Common, Gross Behaviors Will You Admit To?
Are you a gross, disgusting, filthy individual? Someone polled over 100,000 people online and asked about different things a lot of us do but never talk about. How many of these habits will YOU admit to?
- Do you pick your nose when no one’s around? 93% said yes. And 43% have EATEN it before.
- In the bathroom, do you ever skip the whole hand-washing thing because you’re just too lazy? 69% said yes.
- Have you ever SOILED yourself, besides when you were a baby? 36% of us have done it as a teenager or adult.
- Have you worn the same pair of underwear two days in a row? 68% have.
- Have you ever passed gas and denied it was you? 79% said yes.
- Do you ever pee in the shower? 83% of us do.
- Have you ever popped someone ELSE’S zit? 38% of us have.
- Do you ever stick your fingers somewhere gross and then SNIFF them, just because you’re curious? 74% admitted to it.
Story 2: A Guy Has Two More Guesses at His Password or He’ll Lose $234 Million in Bitcoin Forever
If you’re thinking about finally getting in on this whole Bitcoin investment thing, it turns out your most valuable asset might be a pen and paper.
There’s a guy named Stefan Thomas in San Francisco. And he has a digital wallet with 7,002 Bitcoin in it . . . which means it’s worth around $234 MILLION.
But Stefan has a serious problem. The private keys he needed to unlock his account are on an encrypted hard drive. And Thomas LOST the password to that hard drive.
There’s more. You only get 10 guesses at the password before the hard drive permanently encrypts its contents and can’t be unlocked. And Stefan has already made eight wrong guesses.
So he only has two more shots to figure out his password . . . or he’s out $234 MILLION forever. And since Bitcoin is decentralized, there’s no “get my lost keys” option. You either have them or you don’t and you’re out of luck.
Stefan says, quote, “I would just lay in bed and think about it. Then I would go to the computer with some new strategy, and it wouldn’t work, and I would be desperate again.”
Story 3: A Website Is Hiring a “Professional Binge Watcher” to Watch Netflix and Eat Pizza
There aren’t many jobs I feel more qualified for than THIS one.
A website called BonusFinder is hiring a “professional binge watcher.” They’ll pay someone $500 to watch Netflix and eat pizza, then post reviews of the shows and the pizzas.
If you’re interested, you can apply on their website through February 12th. Unfortunately, they’re going to pick the person at random. You know, just like most companies seem to do when you apply for jobs.
