Story 1: A Dad Tries to Write “LOVE” Using a Run Tracking App . . . and Goes Viral for His Failure
Here’s a real “it’s the thought that counts” situation.
A woman on TikTok just posted a video showing her dad’s romantic Valentine’s Day gesture: He tried to write the word “LOVE” by using the run tracking app Strava. But he TOTALLY failed, and wound up just making a random shape.
Still, the video shows him really putting his heart into it, so he’s going viral for being so charming during this abject failure.

Story 2: The #1 Reason We Failed at “Dry January” Was . . . We Forgot We Were Doing It
Ironically, this is the type of absent-minded thinking you WISH you could blame on drinking . . .
A lot of people did “Dry January” last month, or attempted it. That’s where you cut out booze for at least 30 days.
And a new survey found the most common reason people failed was . . . they FORGOT they were doing it.
55% of people who’ve tried to do a Dry January didn’t make it a whole month. Here are the top six reasons we buckle . . .
- I forgot I was doing Dry January. 44% who failed said that was one of the reasons.
- I wanted to drink with a friend or coworker, 39%.
- I went on a date, 37%.
- I had a bad day at work, 36%.
- I wanted to relax, 33%.
- I got stressed out watching the news, 25%.
One in 25 people who failed at Dry January didn’t even last a DAY. 4% started drinking again on January 1st, and 8% had a drink by January 3rd.
Story 3: A Man Put a Ring on His Junk to Prep for Valentine’s Day . . . and Needed Emergency Surgery to Remove It
There’s such a thing as being TOO ambitious when it comes to Valentine’s Day.
There’s a guy in Bangkok, Thailand who was really excited about his Valentine’s date with his girlfriend, and he was planning to BRING THE THUNDER in bed.
So on Friday, he grabbed a steel nut out of his toolbox . . . and slipped it over his junk. He said he heard that rings could help make things bigger and stronger down there.
But the nut got stuck. And by Saturday afternoon, when things down there were painful and swollen, he was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery.
The doctors were able to cut off the nut with a power tool. And they had some serious skills, because they got the nut off without even nicking the guy’s junk . . . and they say he’ll make a full recovery within a few weeks.
But sadly, he didn’t get to go on his Valentine’s date.

Here’s a censored photo of the slicing and here’s the cut off nut.
