SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by JaseCaseMedical.com
According to a new study, when you participate in a video call, chances are, you spend more time staring at yourself than you do looking at the person doing the talking. Researchers from multiple medical institutions, including Harvard Medical and Boston University, say that as a result, those constant Zoom calls and Google meets are changing how we perceive our appearance – and make us more likely to consider cosmetic procedures. And it seems that if you use those “touch-up my appearance” filters”, it could amplify the effect. Results from a survey of more than 500 people found that the more time people spend analyzing their appearance during video calls, the more likely they are to consider cosmetic procedures. The poll showed that nearly 89% used videoconferencing platforms more than 3 days per week – and 68% said they use appearance-enhancing filters more than half the time during their calls.

In
1995, strange 7-foot circular patterns were discovered on the ocean’s
floor. Deemed the “crop circles of the sea,” these mysterious
patterns went unanswered until early 2011 when it was discovered that
5-inch-long male puffer-fish were the culprits. After studying these
animals, scientists have discovered that the meticulous creation and
upkeep of these patterns by the pufferfish serve as an attraction for
the opposite sex as well as a nest for the female pufferfish’s
eggs.

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A man in California who was pulled over shortly after the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1 was apparently so hammered that he told cops “I’m the DUI”, rather than the “DD” (designated driver). A Murrieta Police Department officer pulled him over after noticing him swerving across the roadway. Body cam footage shows the man telling the cop: “I was just dropping off my friend because I’m the DUI tonight.” After being corrected by the officer, the driver admitted to drinking some champagne and beer. He nearly fell over multiple times during sobriety tests and was taken to jail – for DUI.

WORDS AND PHRASES BANNED FOR 2025:
Michigan’s Lake Superior State University has released its 2025 “List of Words Banished From the Queen’s English for Misuse, Overuse & General Uselessness”. Here is this year’s crop — and why they are no longer to be used, effective immediately…
✗ Cringe: While “cringe” once packed a punch, it has overstayed its welcome. Overuse has dulled its impact, and ironically, using it might now cause the very reaction it describes.
✗ Game Changer: This phrase, often used to describe anything remotely innovative, is as tired as a well-worn cliché. To put it bluntly: “Nothing is a game changer if everything is (called) a game changer.”
✗ Era: Taylor Swift might be to blame for the term’s overuse, which has made every fleeting moment feel like it demands a historical marker. Now, it seems there is an ‘era’ for everything!
✗ Dropped: It was once an edgy and cool way to describe the release of a new album, a trend, or a product. But with all kinds of unnecessary things currently being ‘dropped’ rather than introduced, released, or offered for sale, it has become overused, misused, and abused.
✗ IYKYK (If You Know, You Know): This internet slang phrase offers little clarity or substance. If you know, you might agree it is time to let this one go.
✗ Sorry Not Sorry: A tired and lame apology masquerading as bold honesty, Banished Word enthusiasts recommend just saying what you mean, and perhaps showing a little kindness.
✗ Skibidi: While this word, a nonsense term that can mean “cool” or “dumb”, or be used as a filler word, tends to resonate with a younger crowd, for many it is just noise. At this point, nobody even knows for sure WHAT it means, and it’s just annoying.
✗ 100%: Banished for overuse, you’ve also got to wonder: “Since when should a percentage be used to describe your agreement in a conversation?”
✗ Utilize: This is one of those times when a longer word is not necessarily better. Why complicate things when “use” works just fine? After all, experts suggest you “write like you talk”.
✗ Period: Please stop using this word at the end of sentences as a way of punctuating your point. Overuse has turned this into a ‘period’ that needs to end.
