Kamikaze squirrel goes flying in cannon blast for America 250, all he wanted to be was a flying squirrel 😄

He took escape plans to nutty new heights. An acrobatic squirrel in Brooklyn got so spooked when soldiers fired a ceremonial cannon Thursday morning, it hurled itself off a telephone pole — and lived to tell the tale, according to wild footage and officials. The freaked-out furball threw itself into the air kamikaze-style and plunged dozens of feet after Army members blasted the cannon to welcome a German warship at Fort Hamilton in Brooklyn during America 250 celebrations ahead of the Fourth of July, military officials said. ‘“’I didn’t sign up for this,’— This squirrel, probably,” USAG Fort Hamilton hilariously posted, along with the footage, on Facebook Thursday. “Sorry for the early boom, Brooklyn! We promise it’s for a good cause. (The squirrel remains unconvinced.),” it added.

Salmon exposed to cocaine swim almost twice as far as those without, study shows

Salmon exposed to cocaine in the water swim longer distances than those that go without, according to a study released this week. Cocaine use is on the rise worldwide, with the U.N. reporting an estimated 25 million people used the stimulant in 2023 and the drug being increasingly found in waterways. Joint research released Monday by scientists at Australia’s Griffith University and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences studied how the drug affected the movements of wild fish in their natural habitats.

Researchers took 105 wild Atlantic salmon in Sweden’s Lake Vattern and exposed them to both cocaine and benzoylecgonine — a metabolite created by the drug in the liver — and then tracked their movements. They found the river-dwellers exposed to the drugs traveled 1.9 times farther per week than their clean-living control cousins. Those exposed to the by-product also swam 7.6 miles farther, the study found. “Any unnatural change in animal behavior is a concern,” report co-author Marcus Michelangeli from Griffith University’s Australian Rivers Institute told national broadcaster ABC.

“We’re finding higher and higher concentrations of not just illicit drugs but all types of pharmaceuticals in our waterways.”

Messy homes are ruining Americans’ free time: survey

In the past three months, the average American has missed out on two fun events, avoided hosting guests twice, and had two arguments in their household due to their home’s messy state. According to a new survey of 2,000 nationally representative Americans, the stress of needing to clean their home before they can relax is ever-present for two-thirds (64%). Of those who have missed out on doing something fun due to needing to clean their home, respondents spent that time doing laundry (56%), cleaning the bathroom (51%), doing the dishes (46%), vacuuming (40%), and mopping (38%). Results found that a majority of those surveyed were overwhelmed by the never-ending task that is cleaning (69%). Conducted by Talker Research for Swiffer, the survey found that the average person surveyed loses an average of six hours a week between prepping to clean, cleaning, and recuperating afterward — nearly an entire workday dedicated solely to cleaning up.
