Yo, what’s up, snack fam? We’re diving into some wild news today, starting with a spring snowstorm in Fort Collins that’s got us wondering if we accidentally time-traveled back to winter! Seriously, May snow? Who invited that? We’ve also got the scoop on some bear attack drama in Yellowstone—yikes! And, hold onto your vapes, because fruit-flavored e-cigarettes are now a thing for adults. Yup, grown folks can puff on mango and blueberry like it’s a fancy candle! Plus, we’re chatting about Mexico City sinking faster than my motivation on a Monday and the bizarre study showing half of Americans think they’re the best person in the room. Spoiler: they’re probably judging you too! Let’s get this party started! 🎉

Takeaways:

  • Spring in Colorado means snowstorms in May – who knew Mother Nature had jokes?
  • Bears in Arkansas might not be common, but stay alert – they’re sneaky!
  • NASA says Mexico City is sinking faster than my motivation on a Monday morning.
  • Half of Americans think they’re better than everyone else – classic overachievers!
  • Frogger finally gets its time in the spotlight – better late than never, right?
  • Celebrate National Password Day by making it as confusing as possible – good luck, hackers!

I know it's May, but yes, Fort Collins, Colorado, with a full blown snowstorm.

Speaker A:

Two hikers were injured in a bear attack at Yellowstone national park on Monday.

Speaker A:

I used to vape long, long time ago.

Speaker A:

Before I got convinced to quit.

Speaker A:

Let's see here.

Speaker A:

New NASA satellite data shows that Mexico City is sinking by as much as 9 inches per year, and it's mostly due to the depletion of groundwater.

Speaker A:

A study has found that half of Americans believe they are a better person than everyone they know, despite most also admitting that they judge the behavior of others.

Speaker A:

The finalists are in for the:

Speaker A:

And I'm a little bit upset at this point.

Speaker A:

They include Frogger, Skyrim, League of Legends, Mega man, and Silent Hill.

Speaker A:

And I'll admit I don't play video games hardly anymore like I used to.

Speaker A:

I guess I finally grew out of it, you know, in my 40s.

Speaker A:

But how.

Speaker A:

How are we just now getting Frogger into the Video Game hall of Fame?

Speaker A:

Are you.

Speaker A:

Are you kidding me?

Speaker A:

That is a travesty.

Speaker A:

Frogger should have been in the first class.

Speaker A:

Ridiculous.

Speaker A:

Ted Turner, the founder of CNN and the pioneer of the 24 hour news format, passed away at the age of 87.

Speaker A:

He had been battling Lewy Body Dementia.

Speaker A:

He is preceded in death by cnn.

Speaker A:

It is National Password day, so celebrate using one capital letter, a numeral and at least one symbol.

Speaker A:

It is also the great American Grump out.

Speaker A:

Although it'll be a lot easier to be less grumpy tomorrow because tomorrow is, of course, Friday.
