A male contraceptive drug is on the way and it could change the game

There’s a game-changing pill out there that could make your sex life better. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered a formula that could finally be the solution to male-centered birth control. According to the New York Post, “Like penicillin, this “game changer” was discovered unintentionally in 2018 when Dr. Melanie Balbach was researching a protein called soluble adenylyl cyclase, or sAC, for an eye condition. When the drug was given to mice, Balbach observed its sperm-halting capabilities.”

A test was done with 52 different pairs of mating mice, and each result failed to produce a pregnancy. In the control group, one-third of mice ended up being pregnant.

In the future, you could be able to pop a pill in the midst of intercourse and and then be protected.

Hoobastank once passed on a Rihanna feature.

“We gave her camp a song called ‘Inside of You.’ I think they rearranged some of the music to create a pre-chorus section, that wasn’t originally part of the arrangement, for her to sing a small part on. We heard it and didn’t really love it so we passed on using it. It’s really just that simple. I think we had already gotten used to hearing the song as it was written so it just felt weird to us.”

What we know about the train derailment in New Palestine, Ohio and what you can do to help

On February 3, nearly 50 cars of a train went off track in Ohio, causing a fire that burned for days. 10 of the 50 derailed cars contained hazardous chemicals including butyl acrylate and vinyl chloride, which were among combustible liquids that authorities feared could set off a major explosion.

I’ve been away from TikTok dealing with some family things, but I had to come back to talk about this massive environmental disaster. #eastpalestine #eastpalestineohio #trainderailed #trainderailment #norfolksouthern #railway #chemicalspill #explosion #pittsburgh #pennsylvania #westernpa #greenscreen

Local officials have insisted that the air and water quality has not been impacted by this accident, but the dead fish popping up in the town would beg to differ. According to NPR, “When vinyl chloride is exposed in the environment, it breaks down from sunlight within a few days and changes into other chemicals such as formaldehyde. When it is spilled in soil or surface water, the chemical evaporates into the air quickly, according to the Ohio Department of Health.”

Extra ketchup created an extra big problem for this McDonald’s. This Karen, clearly in the midst of a midlife crisis, confronted some minimum wage employees after she was unsatisfied with the boost of ketchup that she was supposed to receive.

WATCH: This week’s Karen calls the cops on an HVAC Technician for doing his job

Alonzo Harmon, a black HVAC Technician, was called to service a home when something went terribly wrong. Harmon told The Daily Beast he’d been called to a woman’s home in Minneapolis to clean her air-ducts but was treated to Karen-like behavior while trying to do his job. Upon entering the home, he said he was greeted with, “They let you do a job like this?”

@lonzogambino

Here’s a sample of what life is like being a black man in America 🙇🏾‍♂️ #fypシ #viral #happyblackhistorymonth🖤 #karensgoingwild

After that piss-poor introduction, Harmon was repeatedly asked about his qualifications and knowledge of what he was there to fix. The Karen finally admitted that she did not feel comfortable having Harmon inside of her home, and when the trained HVAC pro attempted to leave, that’s when the cops were called.

The police did nothing at the scene of the “crime”.

Shady AF: The first attempt at shooting down the UFO over Lake Huron was unsuccessful

How concerned should we be that the military failed the first time they attempted to take down the UFO that was hovering over Lake Huron over the weekend? How concerned should we be that this isn’t an elaborate set up to a joke? We are living in truly strange times, and the strangeness factor was just turned up a level by ABC 7, who reported, “The first missile that was launched by an F-16 fighter jet at the object near Lake Huron on Sunday did not hit the target.”

While officials insist that this does not present a threat on the ground, it does represent a threat to our intelligence. US Coast Guard ships were deployed to search the site in Lake Huron where the third object was shot down. According to a Pentagon memo, there is no additional information available about the description of that object.

@nicole_thesexprofessor

There are so many myths surrounding dating and relationships that only serve to prevent people from truly connecting. Most of these rules are forms of emotional avoidance. They’re misguided attempts to prevent rejection and are just dysfunctional protective mechanisms.

The Oscar-Mayer Wienermobile had its catalytic converter stolen

Is there a more 2023 headline?

While camping out in Las Vegas, the 27-foot long wiener had its catalytic converter stolen. The crew became aware of the theft on Friday morning, when they couldn’t get it started before for a 10AM appearance at a supermarket. It was then towed to a truck-rental facility where mechanics installed a “temporary” catalytic converter.

Currently, there are six Wienermobiles in Oscar Mayer’s “meat fleet,” according to the company. Wiener enthusiasts can check their whereabouts on the official Oscar Mayer website.
