Interesting and fun stuff!

  • A new treatment for those with schitzo-affective disorders, a new treament called Avatar Therapy has emerged showing promise. "Avatar Therapy is a therapist-assisted, computer-based intervention in which therapists facilitate a conversation between patients who are experiencing persistent persecutory auditory hallucinations (i.e. hearing voices) and a visual representation of one of the persecutory voices (i.e. the avatar)."

  • Lobsters do not die of old age.
  • As you get closer to a black hole, time moves slower.
  • On average, there is a supernova explosion every 50 years in the Milky Way. However there is 30 every second in the observable universe. Puts the size of our galaxy into perspective!
  • Froot Loops are all the same flavor. (but it doesn't feel that way, does it?)
  • The moon orbits us from the west to the east, but we see it move across the sky east to west due to the rate of the earth's rotation.
  • There are more chickens in America than there are people on the planet.
  • The goal in golf? To play less golf, essentially.
  • If you have clean water and temprature control, you've got it better than about half the population. Might be good to appreciate that!

  • How to get rid of a headache and TMJ pain easily (I tried this, it does help!)

  • Africa and Asia are home to nearly 90 percent of the world's rural population.

  • Only allowed a certain number of articles in a certain amount of time? Look up the website on the Wayback Machine, choose the most recent date, and navigate the website like normal to find what you want to read. Might be a day late, but you'll have free articles to read for whenever.
  • Just some advice: If you're looking for something to improve your mental health, consider a starting an active hobby or habit (like going on walks or hikes outside) involving physical movement, even if it's just dancing alone in your room for 10 minutes every day. In addition, consider a hobby or ritual of something you do with your hands, such as knitting, drawing, writing, coloring, building legos, and the like. You don't have to be good at it, you don't have to show anyone. In fact, you could really benefit from a hobby that you only keep to yourself and perhaps your irl peer group. This is a hobby without outside perception ever being a factor. This hobby can help you feel free.
