Real-Life 🧛‍♀️ Vampiress: “Red Algae Keep Me Young”

Before anyone calls me crazy and blows up my comment section, let me provide you with the facts. Then, if you don’t agree 1 + 1 is 2, it’s not my problem. You’re free to think whatever you want.

Haematococcus pluvialis is a red algae that lives in freshwater and for many years the scientists believed it should not be alive at all.

When directly exposed to the sun, the effect of UV-radiation almost entirely destroys them on a cellular level…

But…

Somehow, they manage to repair all that damage…

Crazy Experiment: I Ate STYROFOAM And Got Fat (WTF?)

Did you ever wonder what would happen if you only ate styrofoam? Would you still be hungry?

Now… what would happen if we added some sugar?

My Dog Got Into Trouble With A Strange Creature

A few days ago, I (25F) took my dog (3F), Lucy, to a local park with a lake. Some friends joined us, and we were all having a great time.

Everything seemed fine, but a couple of days later, I started noticing something unusual…

🌲 “Pine Tree Effect”: Anti-Stress Pheromones That Calm You Down

I (25F) googled this as a joke, but apparently, pine woods create their own microclimate, and the air is filled with a pine-producing compound Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).

(don’t worry, I can’t pronounce it either) 😅

What’s important is that the relaxing feeling you experience when you’re close to the pine trees isn’t because of the beautiful scenery. Instead, it’s the chemical (MSM) you inhale.

Our Ancestors Were Shredded & Here’s What They Ate

I’m an archeologist, but I won’t share my age and gender here (as people usually do) because this is a small scientific field, and I’ll probably be “found out” and fired.

Unfortunately, the scientific field is a lot less scientific than most people think. Just like it took 100+ years (and countless women’s lives) to convince doctors to wash their hands. 🤯😱

Since I don’t want to end up horrifically, as the first doctor who suggested hand washing, I want to stay anonymous.

But that being said, here is what I learned…
