When Breaking Bad premiered on 20 January 2008, it was watched by fewer than 1.5 million viewers in the United States. As the series became available on Netflix between seasons, its audience grew dramatically through word of mouth. By the time the final episode aired on 29 September 2013, it attracted over 10 million U.S. viewers, making it one of television's most successful examples of a show that found a much larger audience through streaming.

There’s a bird that smells like manure. The hoatzin, a bird found in the Amazon rainforest, has earned the nickname “the stinkbird.” Its digestive system ferments leaves the way cows digest grass, producing a strong manure-like smell. Because of this, predators often avoid it—not because it’s dangerous, but because it smells terrible.

A study of 1,160 men found that nose size can predict penis size. Larger noses were linked to longer penises. Penis length was also related to lower BMI. Penis circumference was linked to body weight and testicle size. Height, weight, foot size, and testosterone were measured, but nose size and BMI were key for length.
This study supports the old myth about nose and penis size.

Octo means "eight". Thats why we say Octopus 🐙 for example, it has eight arms.
Yet the month of October is the tenth in our calendar.

This is because there used to be a different Roman calendar with only ten months.

Later it all changed and months were moved up, but we kept names like September (7), October (8), November (9) and December (10).

“If life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”

But life did not simply give us lemons. The modern lemon arose through hybridization between citrus fruits, and humans later cultivated and spread it.

Before life could give us lemons, humans first had to create the lemon.
Less catchy, but true.

A study with 32 cat owners in Japan showed that spending 10 minutes with their cats lowered their feelings of excitement and a part of their nervous system activity but made their heart beat faster.

The faster heart rate was linked to higher stress and bonding hormones.

Petting cats more often changed their nervous system activity less.

“Knock on wood” is a saying people use to avoid bad luck. It may come from old beliefs that trees have spirits or from the Christian cross made of wood. Different countries have their own ways to “knock on wood” to stay lucky. For example, in Italy, people “touch iron,” and in Turkey, they knock twice and pull their earlobe. 🌳🙏🍀

Toxoplasmosis is caused by the parasite Toxoplasma gondii.

People can become infected by eating undercooked meat containing the parasite or by accidentally swallowing the parasite from contaminated food, water, soil, or surfaces.

Cats are part of the parasite’s life cycle, but not all cats have it.

An infected cat can shed the parasite in its feces, which can contaminate the environment.

Simply owning or touching a cat does not cause toxoplasmosis.

Most healthy people have no symptoms, but infection can be serious during pregnancy or with weakened immunity.

The internet is estimated to weigh about 50 grams, equivalent to a strawberry, based on the weight of the electrons used in electricity for data transfer. This does not account for the much larger physical weight of servers, cables, and data centers that support its infrastructure.

Psychopaths, often called ‘evil,’ lack empathy and guilt. They were once seen as untreatable. New studies show therapy like CBT and computer training can reduce violence and help them feel empathy. Treatment is limited but promising. 🧠💡
