Woman Uses PowerPoint Presentation To Reveal To Her Parents That She Is A STRIPPER
A woman in Portland used a PowerPoint presentation to break the news to her parents that she works at a strip clup, and posted it to TikTok. The woman put together the slideshow for her mother and father that detailed various aspects of her job as a stripper… from the “sex-positive” environment at her club to the large sums of money she has been making. She concludes, “[It is] one of the funnest jobs I've ever had. And I don't want you to worry and that why I have the FAQs. There's no reason why I didn't tell you, I just didn't really get around to it.” Although her father's response was not included in the video she posted a comment on the clip to reveal that the only question he asked was “How much money you making?”
Study: Men Who Mumble are a Turn-On for Women?
A new study finds that men who don’t speak very clearly may actually have an edge when it comes to dating. Scientists with the American Institute of Physics say males who speak less clearly (or mumble) tend to be more attractive to the opposite sex because women see it as a sign of masculinity. On the opposite side, men find precise pronunciation alluring because it signifies femininity. Through experiments with vocal samples, the research team discovered women actually like mumbling, contrary to popular belief.

Toilet Paper Disappearing From Some Store Shelves… Again
Some shoppers are buying up all the toilet paper – again. This brings back distressing memories of spring 2020 and the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. Demand for toilet paper skyrocketed as Americans were faced with a possibly lengthy stay-at-home future. This latest rebound in toilet paper demand comes as the delta variant drives COVID-19 cases and deaths up across the U.S., with some folks foreseeing another lockdown. Many Americans have used up their stockpiles and some have begun buying again in bulk. Manufacturers of toilet tissue say they are responding to the latest increase in demand. Kimberly-Clark, which makes Cottonelle and Scott toilet tissue, and Kleenex, "is monitoring the situation closely, and working hard to produce more toilet paper and other essential paper products to best meet consumer needs." Georgia-Pacific, which makes Angel Soft and Quilted Northern toilet paper as well as Brawny and Sparkle paper towels, "continues to produce toilet paper and towels 24/7 across our system."

Horror Movies Remain One Of The Most Profitable Genres At The Box Office
Even during the pandemic, horror movies remain very popular at the box office. Movie theaters have struggled to sustain momentum since reopening last year but that’s not the case for Hollywood’s 2021 horror films. For example, “Candyman” took the top spot taking in $22 million over the weekend. And with smaller budgets compared with other genres, horror films don’t have to make as much at the box office in order to turn a profit.
Percentage Of Americans Who Say They Won't Get Vaccinated Drops To Record Low In New Poll
The percentage of Americans who say they will never get vaccinated against the coronavirus is at an all-time low. Researchers found 20% of Americans said they either are not very likely or not likely at all to receive a vaccine. That’s down from a combined 34% in March and 23% two-weeks ago. The factors leading to the drop include a surge in delta variant cases, the return of children to schools in recent days and the FDA granting full approval for the Pfizer vaccine.
Short-Staffed Restaurants' Solution? 14-Year-Olds
With fast food restaurants across America short of workers, many are trying to attract younger employees. A sign at an Ohio Burger King read: "Do you have a 14 or 15-year-old? Do they need a job?? We will hire them.” A McDonald's in Medford, Oregon, recently hung a large banner outside inviting 14- and 15-year-olds to apply. The operator of that McDonald's says the young workers have been "a blessing in disguise. They have the drive and work ethic, they get the technology. They catch on really quickly." She says the banner resulted in about 25 applications over two weeks. A recent study found that turnover rates for limited-service restaurant jobs hit an all-time high of 144% this year. Researchers say restaurant workers are being lured away by jobs with better pay and more consistent schedule.
