Some woman bragged on TikTok about an amazing life hack she came up with that makes grocery shopping easier.
Instead of using bags she brings her suitcase to the store.
The one she uses is carry-on size. It's the kind everyone has now with wheels and a pop-up handle.
She uses a shopping cart at the store, but brings her suitcase in with her. Then she just packs her suitcase in the checkout line, and rolls her way out.
She says it's especially helpful for her, because she walks to the store but even if you drive, it might make getting stuff into the house a little easier.
Expect to be mocked for it though. She says she does get laughed at.

In Spain, a burglar fell asleep in front of the TV after eating several plates of food in an apartment he had broken into. The owner of the apartment returned home to find the man asleep on a sofa with the TV on. Thinking it was his son, he was about to put a blanket over him for warmth when he saw it was an intruder and tiptoed out to call the police.

A 29-year-old man in the U.K. began a fight by picking up a live seagull, throwing it at somebody, and then launching into a full-on assault, where he kicked and punched the other guy, and beat him with his belt.
It sounds like it was a random attack, and that he didn't know the guy beforehand.
The attacker was reportedly on his way home at the time and was under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
The victim suffered a broken jaw, but it sounds like he'll be okay. It's unclear what happened to the seagull.
The attacker is facing over a year in prison.

Today's Useless Fact of the Day - It's National Crayon Day. Their name comes from the French word crayon, which dates to around the sixteenth century and means "chalk pencil." Charcoal and oil pastels predated crayons and were being used in Europe around the time of the Renaissance. Today's crayons made their debut in the 1790s.
