Things Worth Noting
Roof of 650-year-old Ming Dynasty drum tower in Anhui, China, built in 1375, collapses. pic.twitter.com/NrBhSYtBs1 — Doolly Noted ✏️ (@doollynoted) May 21, 2025 On May 19, 2025, the roof of the 650-year-old Fengyang Drum Tower in Anhui, China, collapsed, sending tiles crashing down. Built in 1375 during the Ming Dynasty, this historic landmark’s partial collapse […]
How bags of flour are filled pic.twitter.com/l8L7QEXwIF — Science girl (@gunsnrosesgirl3) May 22, 2025 Flour is a powder made by grinding grains, seeds, nuts, or roots. It’s primarily used in baking and cooking, with wheat flour dominating due to its gluten content, which provides structure and elasticity in dough. Here’s the ultimate breakdown: Types of […]
Black holes are regions in space with gravity so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. They form when massive stars collapse or dense objects merge. Their intense gravity warps space-time, making them invisible except for effects like orbiting gas or light bending. Supermassive black holes exist in galaxy centers, influencing star formation. Studying […]
Surviving 100 hours without food is a challenging fast that tests physical and mental resilience. In the first 12 hours, the body uses glycogen stores for energy, then shifts to ketosis, burning fat for fuel by 12-36 hours. By 36-72 hours, autophagy may enhance cellular health, but risks like nutrient deficiency and dehydration grow. After […]
McDonald’s fries, made from Russet Burbank potatoes, are a fast food icon, but their “dark truth” involves controversial ingredients and health risks. Grown with pesticides like Monitor, potatoes are blanched with sodium acid pyrophosphate and pre-fried in vegetable oils (canola, corn, soybean) containing omega-6 fatty acids, linked to inflammation. Additives like TBHQ, dimethylpolysiloxane, and natural […]
Beekeeping may boost longevity by supporting telomere length, which protects DNA and slows aging. Research shows beekeepers have longer telomeres, possibly due to a healthy lifestyle. Handling hives offers physical activity, while nature reduces stress, both preserving telomeres. Bee products like honey, propolis, and royal jelly provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, fighting oxidative stress. Beehive […]
In 1997, the EU banned U.S. chicken imports due to concerns over chlorine-based antimicrobial treatments, like chlorine dioxide, used to reduce pathogens such as Salmonella. The EU’s precautionary principle prioritizes strict hygiene standards and poultry welfare, viewing these chemical rinses as risky, potentially masking poor farm practices. The U.S. insists chlorine washes are safe and […]
For anti-aging, aim for 10-20g of collagen daily (hydrolyzed collagen peptides work best) and 500-1000mg of vitamin C to boost collagen synthesis. Pair with a healthy diet and sun protection for max results. Always check with a doctor before starting supplements. Long Answer When it comes to preventing aging, particularly in terms of maintaining youthful […]
Electromagnetic fields (EMF) from cell phones, Tesla electric vehicles, Wi-Fi, power lines, and household appliances are part of daily life, but excessive exposure raises health concerns. EMF includes low-frequency (ELF) fields from power lines and appliances and radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless devices. Potential risks include cancer, neurological issues, and electromagnetic hypersensitivity, though scientific consensus […]
Electric vehicles (EVs) like Tesla wear out tires faster due to their heavy battery packs, instant torque, and regenerative braking. The extra weight from batteries increases tire stress, while high torque from rapid acceleration causes more tread wear. Regenerative braking adds friction during deceleration. EVs often use low-rolling-resistance or performance tires, which prioritize efficiency or […]
