So, when you’re drifting off at night, is it a fan, or a TV on low volume for you? Or do you (Gasp!) sleep in silence? New research says that more than one-third of us just can’t sleep when it’s too quiet – and it’s Gen Zers who have the hardest time catching Zs with no soundtrack. A Talker Research poll of Americans found that 38% of respondents rely on white noise or other sounds to help them fall asleep. 49% of Gen Z respondents rely on sounds to sleep, compared to 41% of Millennials and 40% of Gen X. Just 32% of Baby Boomers rely on sound aids to help them sleep. One expert thinks Gen Z’s dependence on white noise could stem from their high exposure to screens and constant stimulation throughout their lives, creating the need for “a soft noise as a signal to unwind.”

Instagram appears to be testing a new feature that allows users to “dislike” comments, but some users are slamming the feature for promoting bullying and negativity. Instagrammers shared screenshots of their comments sections that feature the newly added “down arrow”. One commenter wrote: “You can now downvote/dislike comments on Instagram, whaaatwhy?” Another agreed, writing: “People are already unhinged. We definitely don’t need that feature.” And another Instagrammer wrote that the new feature “will take Cyber Bullying to another level.” A Meta spokesperson said the feature is being tested “for people to privately signal they don’t feel good about that particular comment”.

WEIRD NEWS
An opossum was treated at a Nebraska animal hospital after wandering into a family’s back yard and gorging itself on an entire chocolate mousse cake from Costco. Kim Doggett of Gretna said the cake had been placed on a table in her backyard because she ran out of room in the fridge. Her son later discovered the opossum curled up on the outdoor sectional, which was covered in chocolate paw prints. Doggett said: “The cake had been knocked off the table…and it was almost gone.” The opossum was not moving, and appeared to be panting. The Humane Society came to the rescue, and reported: “Opossum was brought in due to having eaten an entire Costco chocolate cake.” After veterinarians treated it, they reported: “With some time in rehab (and a diet reset), this choco-holic should be stabilized enough to return to the wild but until then, she is definitely a little cranky about our strict ‘zero chocolate’ policy.” Doggett noticed that many locals were commenting on the post “that this was their spirit animal.” LINK: https://tinyurl.com/pzt3fyxp
