Do you sometimes spend hours researching a new gadget, only to feel a tinge of doubt after you buy it? According to a new study, that’s make you a “Maximizer” There are 2 types of shoppers: “maximizers”, who research endlessly, and “Satisficers”, who simply look for something that is “good enough.” It was found that maximizers, despite their post-purchase doubts, tend to use their items more often and for longer than satisficers. This translates to potentially less waste and a smaller environmental footprint.

There
is an island that sits in the middle of the Bay of Bengal called
North Sentinel Island. The indigenous people of this island have
never been colonized by the outside world and are extremely hostile,
attacking anyone who invades their land without fear. What makes this
even more interesting is that, when taken from the island, these
people exhibit symptoms of a mystery illness before dying if they are
not returned.

Live from New York, it’s the music of “Saturday Night Live”! The documentary “Ladies & Gentlemen … 50 Years of SNL Music”, directed by Oscar winner Questlove, and Oz Rodriguez, will premiere Jan. 27 on NBC (and stream next day on Peacock). It will feature “untold stories behind the…groundbreaking and newsmaking musical performances, sketches and cameos of the past 50 years,” according to the official description. Among the artists featured in interviews are: Bad Bunny, Miley Cyrus, Billie Eilish & Finneas, Dave Grohl, Debbie Harry & Chris Stein, Mick Jagger, Dua Lipa, Justin Timberlake, Chris Stapleton and Jack White.
“Sonic the Hedgehog 3” ran around on top of the box office, collecting an estimated $62 million domestically in its opening weekend. That’s just below the $72.1 million domestic start that “Sonic the Hedgehog 2” earned in April 2022. And, even better, Sonic has a few weeks ahead where kids are out of school and parents are eager for outside family activities. Meanwhile, “Mufasa: The Lion King” landed in a distant second place, with an estimated weekend haul of $35 million, well short of its expected $50 million opening.

Researchers are suggesting that having sex is actually very good for your health.
I’m not sure if it is “due to overwhelming demand”, but nonetheless, last week, OpenAI introduced a new way to access its chatbot – and it’s a bit old-school. By dialing 1-800-CHATGPT, those in the US can access what the company calls an “easy, convenient, and low-cost way to try it out through familiar channels.” To begin with, callers will get 15 minutes free per month, their chance to have a voice conversation with the AI bot over a regular phone, no account needed. CHATGPT is also taking texts through WhatsApp. OpenAI said it’s useful for people who don’t have consistent access to high-speed data. A CNN reporter tried the system out, and reported that the female-sounding voice on the other end provided a recipe for chocolate chip cookies and summarized the Civil War. But it wasn’t up for getting too personal, saying: “I don’t have feelings, but I do find my job pretty interesting.”

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
A popular Memphis restaurant claims to have been frying burgers in the same grease for over 100 years. Elmer “Doc” Dyer founded his now-famous burger joint in in 1912, betting on his secret mix of seasonings to make the patties irresistible. Current owner Kendall Robertson claims that the next day, someone came in, had a burger, and said “That’s the best burger I’ve ever had in my life.” As a result, that skillet of grease has never been changed, so all the burgers are still cooked in the original grease that made the restaurant famous more than a century ago. Robertson says customers know about the secret, century-old ingredient, and are not only fine with it — some actually ask for their entire burger — bun and all — to be dunked into the flavorful grease.
