After death, eyelid muscles relax, so eyes can close or stay open depending on body position and muscle stiffness (rigor mortis). Open eyes dry faster, causing cloudiness and dark lines called tache noire. Funeral workers often close eyelids for appearance. These changes are natural and don’t show feelings or awareness. 👁️⚰️

To ripen avocados fast, put them in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana. These fruits release a gas called ethylene that helps avocados ripen quicker, usually in 1 to 3 days. Keep the bag at room temperature and check daily. Avoid the fridge until they are ripe, or they won’t ripen properly.

It has two corpora cavernosa and one corpus spongiosum.
An erection happens when blood fills these tissues and gets trapped.
Nearby pelvic muscles help, but the penis itself does not flex like a muscle.
