Rats and Mosquitos Are Wreaking Havoc on Chicago

A new study by Orkin revealed that Chicago is the 5th worst city in the US when it comes to mosquitoes. Los Angeles, Fresno, Seattle, and Atlanta are some of the biggest hotspots around the country, but none of those cities are dealing with the rat problem that Chicago is also dealing with. Rats are nipping at your feet while mosquitoes are terrorizing us from above. Navigating Chicago is just one giant minefield.

Man Can’t Stand the Fact That a Hospital Amputated the Wrong Leg

A hospital in Austria is struggling to find answers after making a devastating mistake last week. An 82-year-old man was set to have his left leg removed, but the hospital jotted down the wrong information and out went his right leg instead. The hospital released a statement noting, “A disastrous combination of circumstances led to the patient’s right leg being amputated instead of his left.” They are now providing counseling for the man’s family, who will soon be greeting a leg-less man.

At press time, there is no timetable for how long it could take this injury to “heel”.

Why You Should Already Be Worrying About “The Next Generation”

Thanks to a social researcher, we now know that the generation after Gen Z will be titled Generation Alpha and will consist of children born from 2010-2024. After watching this video, you’ll see why we’re already concerned.

@overtimeThis is what it’s all about, right? 😭 #fail #funny #kids #shoutoutot♬ original sound – Overtime

This video is shocking on a number of levels, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the grown, adult couple that casually walked by this child viciously whacking himself in the head. They clearly saw that and did nothing. At least pull at your camera like our brave videographer did.

Anyways, Gen Z’s time on this planet has been filled with emotional trauma. Gen Alpha is going to be full of brain trauma.

You’ll forever remember where you were when you found out that the Chicago Steel captured the Clark Cup over the weekend. They knocked off the Fargo Force to win the USHL (minor league hockey) title over the weekend. This marks a two year run of dominance for the Steel, who had a killer 2019 season that was cut short due to COVID-19.

Butt Implant Sales Have Soared in the Last Year

The pandemic has given people time to reflect and think about how they’d like to change themselves in a post-pandemic world. For some people, they challenged themselves to do an act of kindness a day. For others, they wanted butt implants. According to The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, butt implant sales went up 22% last year, beating out breast and hair implants.

On a related note, if anyone knows a butt surgeon for Brian, Ali, & Justin (mainly for Brian & Justin) please let us know.
