Struggling Marmots Start Posting Pictures on OnlyFans to Make Do

Take these Colorado marmots, for instance. To make ends meet, they’ve resorted to posting their pictures on OnlyFans. Perhaps I should explain. The Marmot Project is a decades-spanning scientific research effort that studies the yellow-bellied marmots (not a reflection of their cowardice) of Colorado.

Chinese Universities Struggle with Students Using AI-Powered Eyeglasses to Cheat
Anything to pass an exam except study, right? Remember Google Glass? If not, I can’t blame you. It was a short-lived, futuristic device in the mid-2010s that was supposed to integrate a computer into eyeglasses, allowing you to perform searches and such wherever you went. The Glass died, partially because the technology just wasn’t there yet. Now, it is – and that’s becoming a problem for China’s universities.

Man Fakes His Death to Escape Drunk Driving Charges (And Goes to Jail Anyway)
Is a half-year jail sentence worth faking your death? This man thought so. Life can get so difficult that it makes you feel like faking your death and running away from it all. Maybe you’re stuck in a horrible relationship, struggling with insurmountable financial problems, or facing another kind of life-changing calamity. That, or you just can’t help getting behind the wheel drunk, like this Chinese man. A while back, a man with the last name Si got pulled over for DUI one too many times.
Rescue Robot Looking Like a Demonic Goat Comes with Instructions for Killing It
Maybe there’s a better design for a rescue robot than a satanic goat demon. Picture a future where a robot would come to rescue people caught in a disaster. What would the robot look like? Maybe it could be soft and cuddly, like the Baymax robot from Disney’s Big Hero 6. Or maybe it could look like a caprine emissary of Satan.
