How much human knowledge has been lost to history? Well, this ancient wonder was razed by the Mongols in 1258 — it's said the Tigris River ran black with ink. Here's what was inside... (thread) 🧵

Trying to redeem my @enjoyGLOBE points before the deadline and syempre down yung app nila. 🙄

Ay nabitin ako sa Avatar. 🥲

Ugh. 🙄🙄🙄

This Barbie movie is kinda awesome. Late to bandwagon but now I understand all the well-deserved praise and why Ryan Gosling got upset that Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie didn’t get any Oscar nominations.

Are thrift markets the new in thing among rich kids?

Another C I love? Candles! I like to keep my home warm and toasty with a good-smelling candle. Hit me up if you wanna piece of my little candle biz’s new collection, Serie Uno!

Avoid BGC. Andito yata buong NCR. 🫣

Loved #TheMarvels . It was fresh, fun, and had incredible fight scenes. Don’t let those male-driven, incel-y reviews make you think otherwise.

Currently at Yardstick Coffee and I feel old. 😂

This is Vesna Vulović. She holds the Guinness World Record for the highest fall without a parachute and surviving. She is reported to have fallen 6.3 miles (33,330 ft; 10,160 m) from the sky when a briefcase bomb exploded onboard JAT Flight 367 and crashed into what was then Czechoslovakia in 1972. So, how exactly did she survive the fall? When the bomb exploded during mid-flight, almost all the passengers were sucked out of the airplane into subfreezing temperatures and fell to their deaths. Vulović was trapped inside the fuselage and pinned down by a food cart. She landed in a heavily wooded area with snow, which helped cushion her fall. Interestingly enough, Vulović's low blood pressure allowed her to pass out quickly when the cabin depressurized and prevented her heart from bursting on impact. When applying to become a flight attendant, Vulović had concealed her low blood pressure from the medical examiners by drinking several cups of coffee. Vulović was the only survivor, and upon impact, had broken both her legs, parts of her vertebrae, and several ribs. She also fractured her skull and pelvis. After spending several days in a coma, Vulović awoke and asked for a cigarette. She had no recollection of the explosion or the crash. Her recuperation took a total of 16 months.

The original Michelin Man from 1894. He was is white because rubber tires are naturally white. It was not until 1912 that carbon chemicals were mixed into the white tires, which turned them black. The change was structural, not aesthetic. By adding carbon, tires became more durable. Michelin also began reviewing restaurants so that more people would travel further distances in their cars to eat at these restaurants. This, in turn, would wear down their tires faster and force them to buy more. The star system that Michelin uses goes up to three and is broken down by whether or not it's worth driving to the restaurant: One star: "A very good restaurant in its category" (Une très bonne table dans sa catégorie) Two stars: "Excellent cooking, worth a detour" (Table excellente, mérite un détour) Three stars: "Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey" (Une des meilleures tables, vaut le voyage).

I kinda hate this Xiono guy. 🙄 #Ahsoka

Choosing between leftovers and fast food for dinner. Or maybe beer.

Late to the #WarriorNun party but I’m so happy it got picked up again after the S2 cancellation. Can’t wait to see more of Bea and Ava. 😊😊😊

This is your brain on sleep deprivation. Scientists in Canada launched the largest study on how lack of sleep affects the brain. They created games that tested skills like reasoning, language comprehension & decision making. They had one participant repeat these tests in an MRI machine. Here's what they found: On the left is a normal night of sleep. On the right is when it's deprived of 4 hours of sleep. The colored areas are the activity happening in your brain. Notice the lack of activity on the right side. Researchers found there was less activity in the frontal & parietal lobes, which are crucial for decision making, problem solving & mood control. You are simply not at your best when you don't get enough sleep. Another study done at the University of Oslo found that lack of sleep leads to reduced clearance of substances from the brain. These substances are many of the same waste products that are seen to accumulate in the brains of Alzheimer's patients. Some recent studies suggest that poor sleep contributes to higher levels of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, which lead to the amyloid plaques found in the Alzheimer's brain. If you want a healthy brain avoid long term sleep deprivation. What should you do? • When deprived of sleep avoid making big decisions & pause before reacting to an emotion. • Fix your sleeping habits. If you can't get enough hours, focus on increasing your sleep quality to make up for it. Sleep is the best legal performance enhancing drug on the planet. Make it a priority now so you can protect your brain for later.
