Coast Guard Saves People Living off of Rats, Coconuts

Three Cubans have had a very rough month. They were stranded off of a deserted island in the Bahamas, leading to the US Coast Guard in Clearwater, Florida making a heroic save of the trio after they saw the group’s makeshift flag waving for help. Due to bad weather, the rescue was delayed by a day, but upon being spotted, the crew was dropped down food, water, and a radio.

Of course, being on an island for 30 days means limited resources, and according to the Coast Guard, the group was living off of rats, coconuts, and conch shells. They’re lucky to be alive and it’s a miracle that, according to the Coast Guard, they were in good shape with no injuries when they were rescued.

Do you think you could live on a deserted island for 30 days? Be realistic about it. Shoot us a message on Facebook and let us know how you think you’d do.

2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees announced

The nominations for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2021 are in and include Foo Fighters, Mary J. Blige, Iron Maiden, Tina Turner, the Go-Go’s, Rage Against the Machine, Kate Bush, Devo, Chaka Khan, Carole King, Jay-Z, LL Cool J, New York Dolls, Todd Rundgren, Fela Kuti and Dionne Warwick.

Voting is now open and you can select up to five nominees a day HERE.

The 2021 class will be announced in May and inducted in a Cleveland, Ohio, ceremony in the fall.

“To be eligible for this year’s ballot, each nominee’s first single or album had to have been released in 1995 or earlier. Seven of the 16 acts on the ballot (Foo Fighters, the Go-Go’s, Iron Maiden, Jay-Z, Tina Turner, Fela Kuti, and Dionne Warwick) are appearing for the first time, although Carole King was inducted along with Gerry Goffin as a non-performer in 1990 and Tina Tuner entered the institution in 1991 along with Ike Turner.

If King and Turner are inducted, they’ll be the second and third female artists to enter the Hall of Fame twice following Stevie Nicks in 2019. It’s also an opportunity for Dave Grohl to enter the Hall of Fame for a second time following his 2014 induction as a member of Nirvana. Foo Fighters and Jay-Z are the only acts this year to appear on the ballot in their first year of eligibility.”

Worst Workday Ever

Oh no, oh no, oh no…

Surely at this point you just have to go home, right? What is even the appropriate response to a disaster like this other than entering Witness Protection. Knowing that this is security cam footage and not someone’s cell phone adds a grittiness to this video that makes it so much worse. This is, by far, the worst workday ever.

Ridiculous Nacho Hack You Have to See to Believe

This is kind of a gnarly trick to get the best nachos possible. At the very least, it’s certainly for the hardcore nacho fans and amateurs need to leave this to the pros. Still, even for nacho experts, this is a lot.

After watching that, we…kind of want to try it? It’s not the craziest thing and at the end of the day they’re nachos, which means they’re really hard to screw up. Count us in!

This Birthday Cake Design Is Insane

It took a mother in Wales two days to sculpt and create this Amazon package-themed birthday cake, but rest assured it was worth the wait. This cake is unbelievably detailed. The mother said that her 24-year-old son had been receiving packages nearly every day since the lockdown began and she used that as her inspiration.

What sort of birthday cakes have you crafted? Show it off on Facebook if you think you can beat this one.

There’s No Way Kim Kardashian’s Kid Painted This

Every parent thinks their kid is the most special kid in the universe, but being a Kardashian-West means you’re truly elite. According to Kim’s social media, seven-year-old North painted this Bob Ross-inspired gem.

Sorry, not buying it. Everyone lies about what their kids do and this is no different. What you have lied about that your kids have done? Do you have friends that lie about their kids constantly. Check in with us on Facebook and let us know.

We need to check the room on this one. What are you all thinking of this new trend? For it? Against it? Would you wear something like this. Sound off on Facebook and let us know.

Massive Avalanche Swallows Snowmobilers

It happened in Utah over the weekend. A crew was enjoying their time in the beautiful, fresh powder when disaster struck. As you can see in the video below, all hell broke loose as a massive avalanche came crashing down on top of them.

After the snow took control, the snowmobiler was able to dig himself out. His little brother, who you can see in the video, was able to dig himself out as well. This is wild and we’re stoked they lived to tell their story. What’s your near death experience? Sound off on Facebook and let us know.

Woman Swims in Frozen Lake Michigan, Likely a Total Weirdo

Look, us Midwesterners are built different. We like our hot dogs loaded, ours “opes”, and we tolerate the cold weather. Tolerating is not taking a dip in the frozen Lake Michigan water, like this woman did, however.

Who does this? Why would someone do something like this? What is wrong with her that compelled her to make this “Ice Lily Pad” video. This is the definition of “oh hell no!” or “Imma head out”. It’s insanity.

Local Man Raises Funds for Chicago’s Houseless Community

With regular temperatures flirting with zero and windchills falling to dangerously cold temperatures, it is important that we, as a community, look after our most vulnerable. That is what Jermaine Jordan, a local Chicago resident, is doing. Houseless Shelters are at a reduced capacity due to the COVID-19 pandemic so Jordan and his team are making sure that guests all around the city are given hot meals and warmth during this incredibly difficult time.

You can donate to Jordan’s cause here and you can read more information about how to aid in Chicago’s houseless epidemic here.

Chicago Man Uses Frozen Pants to Call “Dibs”

There’s a genius living in West Ridge. Adam Selzer is the man behind it. During the Polar Vortex two years ago, he began experimenting with ways to call “dibs” on parking spots and eventually landed on soaking a pair of jeans and then bringing them outside to freeze, as jeans can stand up when frozen. This is incredible.

The best part is that this is so Chicago. Have you seen anyone call dibs like this before? What’s the wildest thing that goes on in your neighborhood to secure a parking spot. Let us know on Facebook.
