There Are Cold-Resistant Cockroaches In New York And We Are Likely Doomed As A Species

They will survive outdoors during the winter and inevitably write humanity’s final chapter.

This fiesty little harbinger of the world's demise is Periplaneta japonica, a strain of cockroach so hearty that it can withstand the harshest of winter's chill.

The male spreads its wings, those who gaze upon its grim majesty weep and despair.

Periplaneta japonica is native to Asia and has never been documented in the United States. Until now.

Insect bioligists from Rutgers University have confirmed that a specimen discovered on New York City's High Line is indeed Periplaneta japonica. It is the first recorded instance of the super roach stateside. The collective losing of shit has begun.

The alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end, progenitors of madness and suffering.

Even though the same experts who identified the anti-freeze vermin say there's very little chance they'll overtake the existing roach population, everyone in New York is basically picturing a wintry hellscape where not even our beloved pizza is safe.

12 Movies You Forgot Revolved Around Christmas

0
0

Watch one of these instead of It’s a Wonderful Life for the zillionth time this Christmas.

Die Hard (1988)

Die Hard (1988)

How it's Christmas: It's Christmas Eve at Nakatomi Plaza and Bruce Willis' John McClane just wants to spend some time with his wife. But noooooo! Alan "Stop calling me Snape" Rickman has to come and ruin it. He probably hates eggnog, too.

Best Scene: The whole thing is great, but nothing beats when Rickman's Hans Gruber receives the, "Now I have a machine gun. Ho-Ho-Ho," message from McClane. Yippee-ki-yay, Merry Christmas-ers!

20th Century Fox / Via youtube.com

Lethal Weapon (1987)

Lethal Weapon (1987)

How it's Christmas: It's Christmas time in Los Angeles and Mel Gibson's Martin Riggs is sad and crazy, and the only cure for him is in the form of fellow officer Roger "Too old for this shit" Murtaugh (Danny Glover). This movie is basically the template for every buddy cop movie thereafter. Plus, it's nice to remember a time before Mel let his anti-semite flag fly.

Best Scene: When batshit Riggs makes a potential jumper actually jump by jumping with him.

Warner Bros. / Via youtube.com

Gremlins (1984)

Gremlins (1984)

How it's Christmas: A dad gets his adult-looking son a Mogwai as a Christmas Present, because why not. However, when the adult-looking son doesn't quite follow the rules of proper Mogwai maintenance, gremlins are made.

Best Scene: When Phoebe Cates tells the story of how her dad died. JK! That was super sad and morbid and scarred me as a child. The best scene is when Gizmo the Mogwai sings because it is cute and not scary.

Warner Bros. / Via youtube.com

Trading Places (1983)

Trading Places (1983)

How it's Christmas: Nothing says "Christmas" better than a comedy that tackles the financial and racial inequality of early '80s New York City. Trust me, if you haven't seen it do so right now and thank me later.

Best Scene: Where to begin? Really, any time Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy cross paths is fantastic, but Aykroyd drunk in a Santa suit truly takes the cake.

The Sad And Amazing Unplayed Songs Of Spotify

0

This holiday season, Spotify wants you to find it in your heart to click on an unloved track. It may just change your life.

spotify.com

Like most social networks, Spotify recently released its year in review roundup, cataloguing some of the site's biggest milestones and bits of user data. Most of the facts are pretty flattering for Spotify (for example, I somehow streamed 44,511 minutes — or 30-plus days — of music this year) however, as we noted back in October, Spotify has made an effort to point out that roughly 20 percent of its songs have never been played a single time. That's about 4 million songs!

In an effort to bring that number down, Spotify is urging its listeners to "discover a random #undiscovered track," even providing an easy to use playlist. Spotify bills this as an initiative to "help us get every song played," but what the service has really done is to supply us with a neat list Spotify's loneliest, most unloved tracks.

Earlier we speculated that these unplayed songs would be bizarre, but even we weren't prepared for what we saw. For example:

There's a whole bunch of eclectic music.
