Woman Ghosted By Ghost Boyfriend

The engagement is off.

A woman says that she had fallen in love with a ghost and planned on marrying him before he started to ghost her. "Ray," her ghostly partner, would disappear randomly and "party" too much, leaving her no option but to call off their wedding.

The pair were together for apparently nine months or longer, and the ghost began bringing other spirits home and, according to his ex, doing drugs. That's when she decided they shouldn't be together anymore.

The Weirdest Things About Being Human

Share your facts in the chat!

There is no denying that human beings are weird creatures. But just how weird are we? I've been looking up weird human facts and learning more than I'd ever hoped to learn about the weirdness of being a human being. You might already know that we are taller in the morning, but did you know that we make enough saliva to fill two bathtubs every year? Ew.

Did you know that 12% of us dream in black and white? I'm a color person myself. We also have over 1,000 species of bacteria on our skin, which is another fun yet disgusting fact.

Rules For Exploring Abandoned Places

Which have you heard about?

Remember when we were kids and we'd hold our breath when we passed a graveyard, lest our souls be stolen from our bodies as we breathed? How about when we kept our toes beneath the covers when we slept to avoid being captured by The Thing Under the Bed? Somehow we all knew these rules, even if no one had ever told us, but apparently there are a lot more rules to know when it comes to graveyards!

According to this list, you shouldn't enter an abandoned twice because "they will know enough about you to keep you there." Some of the rules are pretty self-explanatory, like bringing a snack and a drink, but some are pretty chilling.

What do you think? Have you heard similar rules like these?

Paradox-Free Time Travel Possible

At least, in theory

Time travel storylines have always annoyed me. I can't get past the paradoxes possible, especially given how many things originate from tiny ripples in your day. One small decision can affect multiple people and events, so as much as I love the Avengers movies, I'll always experience some annoyance with them and all of my favorite comics.

These scientists, however, say that time travel without the possibility of a paradox is theoretically possible. They say that a timeline would merely self-correct to ensure you would have been able to travel back in time to affect it in the first place. Hmmm.

I don't buy this theory and I don't think there's enough evidence to support it, but say it's true. Then wouldn't everything change as a result, creating ripples across the timeline? What do you think?

Cryptid Themed Goodies

What have you found?

Cryptid creatures are making a comeback and I'm super excited about it! I think shows about cryptids are likely to blame, which is A-OK with me! My kiddo and I love all things cryptid and would love to collect cryptid items.

I recently bought a Cryptid box of wax melts from Villainous Wax that was really cool. She's having a sale with more of them featured this weekend! My kiddo also has the fun Loch Ness Monster keychain that came with the box. I've seen everything from cryptid candles (my favorite candle company, Serpent & Flame, sold them) to patches you can "earn" by learning about each creature (yes, you buy them) and would love to see what you've found.

What cryptid creations do you know about or sell? Share them in the chat!

Gravediggers Who Didn't Wear Masks

Indonesian punishment is making its way around the web

When people in Indonesia skip wearing a mask for safety during a pandemic, they get much more than a fine. A story is circulating the Internet about how eight people in Indonesia were sentenced to work as grave diggers as a result of their disregard of the local mask wearer.

Where I live, there are counties allowed to skip masks and counties with mandates. It's infuriating when you wear a mask to protect others and they don't extend the same courtesy toward you, and it would be awesome if every governor would issue a mandate. 19 states still don't have them.

Alien Life on Venus

There may be signs of it

No, we haven't made contact with alien life, at least not that the government has revealed. But scientists have discovered the presence of a gas on the planet Venus that may indicate a sign of life. 

Phosphine has been discovered in the gases of Venus, which may indicate that there is microbial life that we're not familiar with emanating the gas there! It will be incredible if we can find out more information. Scientists think that life may have existed there before the planet became a hostile environment. 

What do you think? Is there life on any of the other planets in our own solar system? Share your thoughts in the chat.

Gender Reveal Parties Have Got to Go

Another device causes massive fire

What is wrong with modern parents who like to cause chaos with their stupid gender reveal parties? Yet another one of these botched parties caused a terrible fire, resulting in thousands of acres of land burned. The creator of these parties is asking that people stop immediately!

Not only that, but these parties are silly. Why are people so obsessed with their kids' gender when they haven't even met their kids yet? Gender is a social construct that could be quite different from who their kid is assigned at birth. We need parents to understand this rather than be obsessed with their babies' junk before they're even born so they can make the nursery pink or blue.

What's the worst freaky gender reveal party you've seen yet?

This Isn't The Chicken Pox!

Parents need to stop organizing mass meet-ups

As someone who's organized several homeschool groups, 4-H, Scouts and other groups over the years, I get the importance of our kids' need to meet up with real, live kids. Zoom is better than nothing, but this really isn't normal child development. I get it. My teen suffers and so do I, as I know you and yours do.

But that doesn't mean you get to set up massive meetups, join my homeschool groups to attempt to get over 100 families together at parks or the creek to play and refuse to wear masks while you're at it. It is beyond freaky to me that you would spread germs this way. Even for the people you snidely tell to "stay home if you're worried," you're spreading germs that still head to our spouses' places of employment, grocery stores and other places we can't avoid. I can't believe the parents joining groups that just expect us to continue meeting in person! My co-op is meeting mostly online and I suggest you do the same.

Alien Encounters

Have you had one?

Now that the U.S. government has confirmed the existence of aliens, how are you remembering every time someone told you they saw aliens or were even abducted by them? The latest Unsolved Mysteries series has an episode featuring an abduction and while I might have scoffed years ago, now I'm wondering if it may be true.

I have loved ones who've claimed to see aliens or aircrafts before and I've always just shrugged it off as a military or another kind of plane. I've had a few weird supernatural experiences in my own life that I continue to find explanations for as well.

Do you look at aliens in a new way now? Share your thoughts in the chat.
