We all know that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day...but! in a new survey, 65% of people say they consider eating breakfast to be a "high or very high priority." But among those same people, 56% said that they're too busy to make breakfast during the workweek.
In fact, 63% would rather sleep in for an extra hour than make breakfast.
A majority of people also said that breakfast is the MOST time-consuming meal of the day.
40% say the cooking takes too long, 39% say it takes too long to decide what to cook, and 38% say cleaning up after breakfast is "unmanageable" in the crunch of their morning routine.

Do you have a desk at home? And would you be embarrassed if someone saw how messy it is?
Most Americans who have a desk say it's totally cluttered and covered with junk right now. 55% say that's the case.
On average, people think it would take about two hours to clean and organize everything that's currently on there.
But 56% of people who work from home say they don't really work at their desk anyway. They only sit there if there's a reason, like an important Zoom call.
The average person who works from home only spends 32 minutes in their initial work spot each morning, and then moves somewhere else, like the couch. A lot of people start work from bed now.
The poll asked people to name items you'd find on their desk on any given day.
The most common desk items are Computers, monitors, cell phones, pens and pencils, tablet devices, books, notepads, chargers, landline phones, and stacks of old bills.

This doesn't bode well..but the most popular search term on Bing.com is the word "google." Google's lawyers say it's not even close, "Google" is the top search by far. This is important because back in 2018, the European Union fined Google $5 billion for pushing its search engine on people with phones that use Google's Android software. The idea is it was unfair to competitors like Bing.
Now they are appealing, they claim it proves people want to use Google because it's better, not because they're forced to. They also cited some surveys that found 95% of people prefer Google to other search engines.

A driver in Texas was pulled over for driving in a carpool lane on Wednesday, without a living passenger. He had a full-size skeleton in the passenger seat, and it was even wearing a hat.
The police posted a photo . . . and joked,
We know Halloween's just around the corner, but when Constable Ted Heap's Toll Road deputies saw this vehicle in the Katy HOV lanes, they had a feeling in their bones that something wasn't right. Our deputies saw right through the ruse and issued the driver a bone-afide citation. After a sternum lecture, deputies wished him bone voyage!
