This Heat Makes The Cockroaches Able To F***ing FLY

Screw this.

This Heat Makes The Cockroaches Able To F***ing FLY

Flying. F*%$ing. Cockroaches.

Literally.

If you live in the northeastern region of the United States, then I'm so sorry for you. Not only have you been enduring this massive heatwave, which is leaving us all dripping with sweat and anger, but soon enough you might have to walk around in a goddamn hazmat suit. Because yes, you did read the above correctly; the cockroaches may start to fly.

Apparently, we've finally hit the perfect combination of heat and humidity, which turns the air into a nasty soup that "encourages them to fly... when it's warm and steamy, that's what they like." This officially makes them (according to my own analysis) the most disgusting pieces of shit ever.

New York City is expected to be the most affected area, according to Weather Nation TV. While this would be a new apocalyptic phenomenon for the Big Apple, it turns out that it isn't a new sensation in the U.S.A. One Facebook user says, "Cockroaches have always flown back in Missouri... New Yorkers, look out. These things will hit you in the head when you're driving at night or out in the yard."

So, depending on where in the United States you are, you will probably see this news in one of two ways. If you're from New York, you're probably debating setting your house on fire and moving to Colorado. If you're living somewhere where this horrific event is already a daily occurrence, then you're probably glad that some more people are going to be suffering alongside you.

If you want to read more about flying cockroaches, then you can feel free to read all about them right here, because I honestly couldn't be bothered to research this disgusting and disturbing topic anymore.

Basically, it's so hot out that you should absolutely never leave the air conditioning ever unless it's an emergency. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, now you should probably keep an eye out for cockroaches buzzing around your head.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
