Americans might be more stressed out than ever before

Given the unrelenting persistence of COVID-19, inflation, and at times what seems like a country teetering on the brink of existence, Americans are having a tough time finding joy in the little things. The fine folks at Statista have polled Americans over what they’re most stressed out about, and things are not looking good for us.

It’s never good when you ask a number of people what’s stressing them out in their country and they respond with “the future of the country”.

OnlyFans teachers have sex in classroom, dismissed from the profession

Teachers are making such little money that they are turning to OnlyFans. Thank God.

While the fine folks at Q101 believe in paying educators more, we are also very, very sex positive and we are all about these Arizona teachers that not only have an OnlyFans account, but got it on in their classroom. Using the alias “Khloe Karter,” Thunderbolt Middle School science teacher Samantha Peer uploaded the X-rated videos for her OnlyFans page, which her students found and shared among themselves.

After the teachers were dismissed, they released this statement.

While the OnlyFans account is currently inactive, you can find it here, in case it ever pops back online.

Nickelback is getting inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame

Let us all take a moment of silence to respect the greatest band of a generation. After decades and decades of simply crushing it, Chad Kroeger and his boys are finally receiving the highest honor a band can receive – getting inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. This is something that every little boy dreams about when they pick up their first Fischer Price guitar.

How will you be celebrating this glorious occasion. The conversation lives on Facebook!

Six dead after mid-air collision at Dallas air show

Over the weekend, two historic military planes collided with one another at a World War II-themed Dallas airshow. The crash occurred around 1:20 p.m. Saturday, when the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and a Bell P-63 Kingcobra collided at the Wings Over Dallas Airshow at Dallas Executive Airport. Video of the crash quickly circulated online.

Q101 sends its regards to those affected by this heartbreaking incident.

Justin Fields is playing like a video game character, Bears unfortunately living in harsh reality

Justin Fields is doing what no man – and more importantly, no Bear – has done before. The second-year quarterback is finding plenty of space to etch his name into the history books as for the second week in a row, he’s rushed for over 100 yards. His 60+ yard scramble into the endzone makes him the first quarterback in the Super Bowl era to have two rushing TD’s over 60 yards in the same season.

This is all to say that the Bears suffered a humiliating 31-30 loss to the Detroit Lions after a missed Cairo Santos extra point opened the door for a last-second Lions win.

The Bears now sit at the bottom of their division with a 3-7 record, far worse than Brian predicted, but far better than most smart people thought they were going to do.

It is illegal to eat Raising Cane’s in Hobart, Indiana

If you are thinking about chomping down on a Caniac Combo at the Southlake Mall in Hobart, think again. After months of construction and over a million dollars spent on the famed chicken-only joint that is slowly invading the midwest, Cane’s were notified by the mall that McDonald’s has “exclusive rights to sell chicken at the shopping center located next to Southlake Mall.”

“Incredibly, Defendants did not tell Raising Cane’s it would be unable to sell its chicken fingers at the Shopping Center until nearly eight months after watching Raising Cane’s spend nearly a year of time and over a million dollars to develop its new restaurant,” the lawsuit said.

This is a loss not only to the mall, but all of Lake County, as now their chances of sucking down some succulent Texas Toast are slimmer than ever before. Thoughts and prayers to you, Hobart.

Is this man ‘manspreading’ too much? This Southwest flight got far too uncomfortable for one woman

If you’re on a Southwest flight, chances are you’re not in a good mood. A half hour into takeoff, you’re going to be sweaty and sticking to a leather seat that hasn’t been washed with more than a wet wipe in years. For Emily Kauai, those sticky-ass seats were made even worse by a manspreader that invaded her bubble.

It’s hard to believe TSA let him through with all of that heat he was packing.

Is this too far of a spread, or is she complaining too much? The conversation lives on Facebook!

Used coffin traded at pawn shop as economy worsens

Has inflation really affected people’s wallets? The answer is hell yes. You know it’s bad when someone pawns a coffin. Pasternack’s Pawnshop in Aurora recently acquired one. The owner Scott said more and more people are pawning at a record pace. One customer, who chose to remain anonymous, said that they’ve been in once a month to pawn personal items, instead of just once a year. Times are tough when gas prices are high, everything else is high too! “Our loans have gone through the roof with the economy being much lower and people needing more money,” Pasternack said. They’ve even seen a lot more white-collar customers these past few months. The National Pawnbrokers Association said the average amount people will borrow is about $150, and 85% pay that money back with interest and usually get their goods back.

The coffin is still there for a cool $499.00 if you’re in the market for a slightly used coffin, yikes.

A man ate a rotisserie chicken for 40 days in a row- and hundreds gathered for his 40th feast

Alexander Tominsky began his bizarre food challenge of eating an entire rotisserie chicken for 40 days straight because he said, ‘it seemed like the right thing to do.’ Tominsky, 31, is a waiter at a steakhouse and began his journey September 28th. He finished on Sunday at an abandoned pier, where hundreds gathered to watch him eat his final fowl. It all started with a hilarious flier, that encouraged people to watch him eat his 40th chicken, also adding that ‘this is not a party.’

These are the 10 most common mispronounced words by Americans

According to a new study, these ten words are the most mispronounced by Americans. These are based on the average monthly Google searches ‘how to pronounce___.’ Some people have been saying these words wrong for years, so don’t feel stupid if you have too. Here are the top 10-

  1. Acai – 20,400 monthly searches
  2. Gyro – 17,660 monthly searches
  3. Omicron – 15,530 monthly searches
  4. Charcuterie – 15,140 monthly searches
  5. Nguyen (pronunciation via Heritage-Line) – 14,990 monthly searches
  6. Gnocchi – 11,350 monthly searches
  7. GIF – 11,230 monthly searches
  8. Worcestershire – 8,880 monthly searches
  9. Dogecoin (pronunciation via Benzinga) – 7,540 monthly searches
  10. Pho – 7,270 monthly searches

The people at Merriam-Webster would also like to add that these are only the most common. The population also says these words incorrectly a lot too- “victuals,” “awry,” and “epitome.”

Miller Lite is selling a Christmas Tree stand, that is also a keg

This holiday season Miller Lite came up with the absolute best idea- a tree stand that is also a keg. The tree stand looks like a small table to support the tree, and inside of it is a quarter-barrel keg. That’s 83, 12 ounce brewskis. The stand itself can support a tree that weighs up to 150lbs. Starting November 10th, you can order the stand along with cool “beernaments” for the tree on their website for the affordable price of $49.99. Now that’s the type of innovation we need in 2022!

How often should you be washing your hair?

The truth is, there is no ‘one size fits all’ rule for people to follow about washing your hair. But Dr. Anthony Rossi, an assistant attending dermatologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City says that people need to give themselves a chance to have dirty hair and see how it goes. Maybe your scalp and hair won’t become instantly greasy after a day or two. Washing too often can dry or dull hair. The length between washes can depend on multiple things including hair type and style, how oily your scalp tends to get, age, and your activity levels. Dr. Rossi tells his clients to only wash once or twice a week, but definitely once if you have treated or bleached hair. Teenagers may need more washes due to access grease during those years, but on average MOST people don’t need to be using shampoo and conditioner everyday. No go take Dr. Rossi’s advice and see how long it takes your hair to actually get nasty.

Watch Justin Fields rushing for 61 yards up close and personal

Sunday was a beautiful day for some Bears Football at Soldier Field, even if we did end up losing (and even if it was my fault somehow for going to my first game.) I am a huge fan of Justin Fields and think he is going to develop into an amazing franchise QB. He broke the single-game NFL rushing record for a quarterback by going for 178 yards! Check out this awesome angle of his 61 yard rush for a touchdown. <3 Lauren
