Whales eat in cold, nutrient-rich waters and travel to warmer, nutrient-poor seas. Their urine carries nitrogen and phosphorus, which feed phytoplankton at the ocean surface. Phytoplankton grow faster and provide food for krill, small fish, and other marine animals, supporting the entire ocean food chain. Without whales, nutrient levels drop, and many fish and marine species would struggle to survive. A single fin whale can produce about 950 liters (250 gallons) of urine per day, making whales important “nutrient pumps” that keep oceans healthy.

Scientists in Japan are testing a new drug that can help grow new teeth. 🦷 The drug blocks a protein called USAG-1, which normally stops teeth from forming. In animal studies, blocking this protein allowed new teeth to grow. Human trials are now testing if the drug is safe and works. The drug is called TRG-035.

Cigars are tightly rolled bundles of dried and fermented tobacco leaves. They originated in the Americas, where indigenous peoples smoked tobacco long before Europeans arrived. After being introduced to Europe in the 16th century, cigars became popular among the elite. Premium cigars are often hand-rolled, with carefully selected filler, binder, and wrapper leaves. They may be aged for months or years to improve flavor, aroma, and smoothness.
Reminder: Smoking a cigar still causes cancer and other health problems.

Pluto is slightly bigger than Russia.
Pluto has a surface area of about 17.65 million km².
Russia has an area of about 17.1 million km².
Some sources say otherwise because of old measurements or rounding.
Those sources are wrong.

Suicide was a crime in England and Wales until 1961. Before that, people who survived a suicide attempt could be prosecuted, fined, or sent to prison, with some cases from the 1920s–1950s resulting in short jail sentences.
In earlier centuries, suicide was treated as a sin and a crime. Families could also lose property after a death by suicide.
The law changed in 1961, when suicide was decriminalised and responses shifted toward medical and mental health care instead of punishment.

Scientists are working on real invisibility technology.
They use special materials called metamaterials to bend light around objects, which makes them appear invisible. Some cloaks can hide objects from certain waves like microwaves, while others can hide heat or sound. Most systems only work for specific angles or wavelengths. A real human invisibility cloak does not exist yet. If it will ever come to that, will remain to be seen.

Some studies found that watching a lot of (internet)pornography can change the brain. Brain scans showed stronger links in areas that control emotions and decisions. People who watch often feel more pleasure but have less self-control. After watching, their thinking and attention get worse. Their facial expressions also show less emotion, like surprise or disgust, even if they say they enjoyed it. These changes are similar to drug addiction. Repeating this behavior can make emotional responses dull and reduce mental sharpness.

More research is needed, but finding people who never watched porn for studies is very difficult to impossible..

Kissing babies can spread germs and cause infections like cold sores or herpes. In rare cases, these infections can be very serious or even deadly for babies. Babies have weak immune systems, so it’s safer to avoid kissing their face or mouth. Don't let anyone kiss your baby without your consent.
They may get angry, but who knows what else those lips just touched..

The Vela Incident happened in 1979 when a U.S. satellite detected a double flash of light near the Indian Ocean. This flash is believed to be from a nuclear test explosion, but no country officially claimed it. Some think it was a secret nuclear bomb test by South Africa and Israel. The event remains a mystery because no clear proof was found.

It is completely normal for one testicle to be larger and hang lower than the other. This natural asymmetry prevents them from rubbing together, improving comfort. Regular self-exams help you notice any changes in size, shape, or feel early. 🥚⚖️👨‍⚕️
