The TMD Podcast (Trending Moments Digest) is a roundup of the stories that have been trending all week. BUT, we've decided to change things up a little.
- New name:
we're switching from TMD to What a Weird Week. Unlike "TMD Podcast", the "What a Weird Week" name isn't already taken by a bunch of other podcasts.
- New Format:
Top Ten! You'll still get the cool, weird, funny, slipped-through-the-cracks stories of the week, but now counted down in a top ten format.
- FAQ:
Q) Will the quality of the show improve? A) Let me put it this way, what quality?
Q) Will I have to change how I listen? A) The feed should all remain the same.
Q) When is this gonna happen? A) Time is an illusion.
Now here come the links:
10 - Colorado Parks and Wildlife tweeted a note they got from somebody who got a rock from a State Park and then started having all this bad luck. Here's the note: "Someone brought this home to me three years ago. Bad things been happening ever since."
9 - Some Guinness Records got trending this week: Giant Jenga Stack (485 Jenga pieces on top of one vertical piece!)
and the guy who sliced a bunch of watermelons in half. The watermelons were placed on his friend's head. For safety, his friend wore a raincoat...
and then there's this 14 year old kid from Colorado who made news for solving the Rubiks Cube while on a pogo stick. FYI, the record is like 16 seconds. So if you're good at the Rubiks Cube, but terrible at the pogo stick, you still have a shot at this record- you only have to pogo for 16 seconds.
8 - Scientists made a discovery that is changing what we think of as alive or not alive... these microbes on the sea floor use so little energy that they shouldn't be alive. "To put it in perspective, the energy budget of an average human could power a ceiling fan. These organisms exist on an energy budget about 50 quintillion (a billion billion) times smaller than that, according to the study. "
Joke submission:
You might think you're low-energy after Bongathon 2020, but these microbes have caused the scientists to actually change the criteria for not being dead.
Congratulations, microbes, you are the new standard in lazy. I'd get some tee shirts made but, seems like an awful lot of work.
7 - Macaroni and Cheese made the news a couple times this week. That's weird, right?? Kraft Breakfast Mac and Cheese was announced...
