How often do you do it? Are you like the average or are you above average?. According to research from the Kinsey Institute, Gen Z and Boomers are having the same amount of sex. Both generations do the deed about three times per month. Millennials and Gen Xers get down five times a month. The new report is based off of data from 3,310 Feeld app users. 55% of Gen Zers have discovered a new kink since joining Feeld, compared to 33% of Boomers. “Older adults have had more time to learn and discover what they enjoy about sex, so they may have already uncovered their kinks,” researchers wrote. “Younger adults today have a greater overall interest in kink than older adults, which may create greater openness to exploring.”

Mayhem broke out aboard a Carnival cruise when enraged vacationers were told they wouldn’t be voyaging to the expected Caribbean getaway because of an engine problem — while they shouted for their money back and pleaded to get off the ship.

Guests aboard Carnival’s Vista had booked the 8-night Southern Caribbean cruise out of Port Canaveral, Florida on Aug. 10 intending to stop in Aruba, Curacao and Turks and Cacaos.

As the boarding process was ongoing and some passengers were already on board, the cruise line sent a notification detailing the change in plans.

It’s a two-for-bun deal.

It would seem only natural that there be enough buns for frankfurters, but unfortunately for hot dog lovers the sausage-to-roll ratio is skewed heavily in the bread’s favor.

With some exceptions, dogs are typically sold in packs of ten while meat sheaths come in bundles of eight. 

This means that at nearly every BBQ, there are usually at least two leftover dogs, leaving less finicky fans to gobble them with their hands. 

The inequality is not because the sausage gods are cursing us; it was actually borne out of old convenience, The National Hot Dog and Sausage Council explains...

There’s actually a reason hot dogs and buns aren’t sold in the same number

The City of Aurora’s plan for a homeless navigation campus focusing on “work first” is coming together. The City Council will vote during its study session Monday on a resolution sponsored by council member Dustin Zvonek that spells out how the campus will operate. “The City of Aurora wishes to pursue an alternative to the ‘Housing First’ approach, by setting requirements and expectations for housing to include participation in addiction recovery, mental health, and job training programs to better address homelessness,” the resolution states. “It is inhumane and economically unwise to allow individuals experiencing homelessness to remain on the streets, or simply offer unconditional housing, rather than providing them with the necessary support services that offer a structured path to self-sufficiency and housing.”
