As if living in Minnesota wasn’t bad enough, the citizens of Coon Rapids have been waging war with a turkey for 18 months now. Dubbed “Reggie” by the neighbors, this turkey has been attacking cars, people, and whatever else it can lock in on.

The neighbors have called the Department of Natural Resources and 911 after the turkey wouldn’t let a neighbor leave her home for hours. The DNR recommended taking down bird feeders, but the residents ignored this advice and said they are still hoping the bird will trot somewhere else.

You know it’s bad when a caption begins with “I know I’m evil…”

A woman in Australia, fed up with dealing with kids that aren’t hers, has made a plea for someone to start a suburb that is for “adults only”. She lamented how wherever she goes, there are kids screaming there.

Does she have a point, or does she need to suck it up? The conversation lives on Facebook!

A woman in Virginia is under fire for setting down her clipboard and lacing up her sneakers. Parents of the girl the coach impersonated noted that their daughter was out of town for a club basketball tournament during Churchland High School’s Jan. 21 game in Suffolk.

In the video above, you can see that once you put a 22-year-old woman on the court against a bunch of children, she becomes trouble. While we cannot find an official stat line, it is clear that she cleaned up for her team. That’s Mamba Mentality right there.

The assistant coach is no longer employed by Portsmouth Public Schools. Players and parents on the Churchland High School team have decided not to play any more games this season.

Marie Kondo was ushered into our lives a few years ago after she told us to “spark joy” on Netflix. The neat-freak had turned people’s lives around, saving them from being hoarders and cleaning up their personal spaces. She forced people to toss any items that didn’t spark joy, in a practice that was influenced by the Japanese art of decluttering.

She told The Washington Post that things have changed, however, noting, “Now I realize what is important to me is enjoying spending time with my children at home.” She went on to say, “The true purpose of tidying is not to cut down on your possessions or declutter your space, but rather, to learn to make meaningful choices and find gratitude in everyday life.”

Messy is the new joyful. Rejoice, crumb-suckers.

$1.5 million. One point five m-m-m-million. That’s the total damage done by one woman in Harvey, who has finally been caught for her chicken wing scheme. Vera Liddell, of Harvey School District 152, has been charged with stealing over a million dollars worth of wings. According to WGN, court records accuse Liddell of ordering more than 11,000 cases of chicken wings from the school district’s food provider and then picking-up the order in a district cargo van. That food was never brought to the school.

District funds were used to pay for the food, according to prosecutors, who did not reveal what became of the chicken wings. If she wasn’t eating them, we don’t want to know what she was doing with them.

The Slanty toilet is here and it could soon be altering your workday. The internal parts function like a standard toilet, but its seat profile is far from standard. Rather than the traditional horizontal toilet seat, the top of the Slanty tilts down at an angle, changing the user’s body position.

While there are health and sanitary benefits to these toilets, Family Handyman notes, “For commercial customers, Slanty markets its product as a subtle way for management to cut down on prolonged bathroom breaks. Per the Slanty website, an eight- to 13-degree downward slant will reduce average time in the restroom by more than 25 percent. But let’s be honest: Is there any more passive-aggressive way to show you don’t trust your employees than installing uncomfortable toilets?”

If you see moderations being made to your workplace bathroom, just know that it’s because you were hanging out in there for far too long.

The “Brian” part of Q101’s Brian & Justin and local fast food enthusiast Brian Haddad is worried about a change coming to the Golden Arches. McDonald’s has unveiled a strawless lid in some markets for cold beverages only. The company said the lids “help optimize our packaging and eliminate the use of small plastics.”

When speaking to Q101’s digital team, Haddad expressed his fears about the change, noting that with the straw, their drinks “hit different”. He acknowledged that this could be an effort to “save the turtles and sh*t in the ocean”, but he doesn’t like the idea of turtles inconveniencing him.

By the end of 2025, McDonald’s is aiming for “100% certified, recycled or renewable materials.”
