    There's an interesting study about that. A professor wearing a special shirt would be recognised by a group of crows on campus, even 20 years later! So the crows told their children about this guy.

    I do many thousands of miles a year and see all sorts of dead animals at the side of the road, but never crows, despite them always being on the road eating the other carcasses. Anyway, the other day I saw a huge flock of crows, maybe 200 birds, swooping around over the road ahead, which is unusual. As I approached there was a newly dead crow at the side.

    Crows are surprisingly intelligent. The study is fascinating. The researchers captured crows by people wearing specific masks. The crows not only remembered the faces of those individuals, but they also communicated the information to other crows. Even years later, crows would react aggressively toward people wearing the same mask. Don’t f**k with crows!

    I used to hate crows, mainly because of their annoying "CAW! CAW!" -- but I've been trying to change my perception of them, knowing that they could make my life hell if I became their enemy, lol. There are a ton of crows who frequent the area around my apartment building, and I actually bought some bird seed that I keep in my backpack in case I see some of them foraging on the grass nearby. Because along with holding grudges, they will also make friends with humans who are nice to them (and bring them gifts! -- Google it). Figure it can't hurt. Crows are tiny dinosaurs, after all -- so it's best not to wind up on their bad side, haha.

    Facts are basically statements that can be proven true or false based on evidence. For example, a fact could be "The Earth orbits the sun." You can usually verify such facts through scientific methods or observation.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Opinions, on the other hand, are personal views or interpretations. An opinion would be something like, "Summer is the best season." But there could be people who believe that winter or monsoon is the best season. Everyone is entitled to their own personal opinion on different matters.

    Thankfully there's a parent-led initiative in the UK to ban smartphones for under 14s. Something that should be replicated worldwide, in my opinion. No kid needs a smartphone unless it has an essential medical app on it. Dumbphones enable them to stay in touch without exposing them to the cesspit of the internet.

    1 year ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Once kids have a smartphone, it's hard to stop them accessing social media. It's particularly difficult at the intersection of childhood and adulthood where you have to allow your kid more freedoms while helping them remain safe. But when have teens followed advice to keep them safe? I knew I drank plenty of alcohol and people drove too fast when I was a teen - and that was a while ago now! All that's not to say that parents shouldn't at least try their best. The Smartphone-Free Childhood initiative is a better approach because it takes away the peer pressure aspect, which is more important to teens than parental pressure.

    When our 7yo started in school we could see that she was socially a bit on her own because she didn't know (much) about pokémon, minecraft and whatever else her school friends were into. We were a bit worried about it but on the other hand she was the only one in her class who knew about some fairy tales that they learned about and she knows her fair share of old Danish folksongs and we (as a family) watch a lot of TV together. Never small screens. Always big screens so we can all join in on the show. I hope so much that in the end our kids will do just fine and be mentally more strong than my bf and I.

    I don't know if this is true, but it is believable. I have seen young children with each a smartphone but no social interaction among them. If they don't learn social skills when they are young, maybe they get lonely later.

    This, as with a few others, is oddly gender specific and before anyone jumps down my throat calling me woke or whatever, that's not the case, I'm just confused by what this seems to imply. This, to me, implies that both men and women were studied and it was exclusively women who had this reaction. I find that extremely difficult to believe. I haven't done a study but I definitely know one man who also reacts this way to a cuddle. Me.

    Some will use this bit of info to turn on their a*****e mode completely. A prank is bullying and does NOT promote the mental health of the victim in any way, shape or form. Gentle teasing that the subject ENJOYS is fine. If it causes any degree of distress at all, it's no longer teasing, it's bullying.

    This is misleading at least. studies that review several recent studies get to one of three conclusion: 1.childfree =happier, but with multiple conditions (location...). 2. No significant difference once financial situation,... Are factored out. Or 3. that young parents are not as happy as child free couples. But there is a turning point above a threshold age of the children. From then on parents are happier until the end of their lives (western countries). What all of them have in common is a statement that it's mostly a question of choice. If you like apples more than oranges, an orange won't make you as happy

    For instance, let’s say you come across an article about a new diet trend. A fact in that article could be, “This diet helped people lose 10 pounds in one month, as shown in a clinical study." In this case, there is scientific evidence to back up the claim, making it a fact rather than just an opinion.

    Well, yes, but Iceland does have a navy of sorts and the "Cod Wars" were about stopping the UK's fishing fleet from making money by fishing in Iceland's coastal waters in a series of "wars" the main rule of which - followed by both sides - was "don't kill anyone". Iceland's most devasting weapon in that conflict cut the lines holding trawl nets to the trawl boats. More here: https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2020/05/23/the-cod-wars/

    The UK thought Germany might, back in 1940, so occupied Iceland with a military force - Iceland objected, but basically put up with it. Also, the Norse occupied Iceland in around 974, when the land was apparently already inhabited by a few Irish monks, who left. So arguably, Iceland has been invaded at least twice. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papar

    An opinion, however, could be, “I believe this is the healthiest diet for everyone.” While the study presented evidence, the opinion is a personal belief that might not apply to every individual. So, when you confuse the two, you might start following a diet that might not be beneficial for you at all.

I don’t need it now, but I’m taking 900mg of Gabapentin for the induced drowsiness to carry me through the period when I would usually wake up.

    I used to love my job, but things have changed in the last 6 months, corporate took over and made a lot of bad changes, the great boss I had quit out of frustration. Now the one in her place is hampered by corporate, and the stupid rules.. I was there over 2 years without one write up, but in the last 4 months I've been written up 4 times. I hate my job now, and my coworkers have become petty, grumpy people who either don't want to be there and want to make everyone else miserable too, or they're favorites of management and are snitching or being heavy handed, knowing they won't get in trouble. I'm looking for a new job. I hate being at work now, hate the people, and I know they hate me too, it's just a miserable place to work. I'm not sleeping, I'm not eating, my liver is failing, my fibromyalgia is flaring up constantly, and I haven't pooped in a week. But, having spent the day applying for jobs and finding nothing promising, I don't have much hope that it's going to change.

    Another example is when you're reading a restaurant review. A fact might be, "The restaurant serves Italian food, and their most popular dish is lasagna." You can verify this by looking at their menu or checking customer orders. However, the reviewer might also say, "This is the best lasagna in town!" which is an opinion based on their personal preference. You might love lasagna, but your idea of the "best" could be very different.

    There's no need to make fun of this. It's not very scientific, but I usually feel a bit brighter when it's a sunny day, and a bit more down when it's grey. It's more about the amount of light than the actual weather phenomenon. Also, people who feel depressed easily start feeling down in the fall, because the lack of light, it's quite common.

    It's a condition called SAD - Seasonal Affectational Disorder. It doesn't affect everyone. But people with SAD, who live in places that receive less hours/days of sunlight, are more numerous than those w/ SAD who live in sunnier areas. They believe it's caused in part by a deficiency in vitamin D, which we get from the sun. Sun lamps have also proven to be very effective for these people

    There's no real relationship between brain size and intelligence (within humans). In general the brain size is simply dependent on the size of the skull, which is related to the size of the rest of the body.

    Not a brain researcher here but men also tend to be bigger than women, so isn't a size difference to be expected? Not sure what this is supposed to tell me...

    It depends on the individual. MrTribbleTheFirst(now deceased) was an IT person, did hardly any housework, had to be prompted, literally the last thing I asked him to do was to hang out the clothes, which he didn't and had never done in our 19 years together. (fyi I earned 50% more than him, so no sahm excuse). MrTribbleTheSecond is much neater and cleaner than me, cleans more, folds and irons more, presents me with tubs of neatly chopped veg, watermelon, snacks, etc. The odd thing is that he's got more physical "blokey" job elements, is bigger and burlier, but is perfectly happy to spend time prettifying food and the home.

    From my experience I might believe this, at least when it comes to daily tasks, chores and all the boring stuff but then I think it's mostly trained and men seem to just don't care that much and don't feel guilt if the dishes pile up for days or when the women finally do it ... This is definitely a problem I come around in every other relationship

    I used to neglect the dishes and my ex-fiancé (male) would eventually do them (although sometimes he’d get really pissed about this “dynamic” and I’d do them). Now I live alone and, uh, don’t look in my sink.

    Um, most males are bigger than females to begin with so it would be weird if their head was really small/ brain was really tiny in a big ole' skull. I do believe the more efficient brain bit though - all personal experience. I know there are men who's brains do the same, but I haven't met many myself. It's not a bad thing, just different.

    The differences in brain size are primarily due to evolutionary factors like larger body size in men, which typically requires a proportionally larger brain to maintain bodily functions

    In a study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, participants from the U.S. were asked to categorize 12 statements about current events as facts or opinions. Shockingly, only 45.7% of participants were able to do so correctly.

    This highlights just how tricky it can be for people to distinguish between facts and opinions. Without critical thinking, it’s easy to blur the lines and accept opinions as facts, especially in today’s fast-paced, media-driven world.

    Not always. In days of yore, a steady job that paid enough to get you by was a great thing. I worked in a plant in the 70's that was founded in 1909. There was a woman there who started in 1912! Whenever they added a line she used to squawk "I've been here 50 years and we never had to do THAT".

    Professor Jeffery J. Mondak, who co-authored the study published in the Harvard Kennedy School Misinformation Review, emphasized the importance of this skill: “There’s a huge amount of research on misinformation. But what we found is that, even before we get to the stage of labeling something misinformation, people often have trouble discerning the difference between statements of fact and opinion.”

    So, one way to tell a fact from an opinion is by checking for evidence. A fact is typically backed up by data, research, or verifiable sources, while opinions are often personal viewpoints that don’t need proof.

    Another tip is to pay attention to the language used. Opinions often include subjective words like "best," "worst," or "I believe." Meanwhile, facts are presented more neutrally, without emotional or judgmental language.

    Lastly, you shouldn’t hesitate to question the source of the information. If the source has a personal or commercial interest in swaying you, it’s quite possible that it’s an opinion rather than a fact. So, Pandas, now that you know just how important it is to tell the difference between facts and opinions, which one of these facts caught your attention the most?

    The study of 4,165 participants aged 60 years and older in China reveals that people who consumed fish at least “twice a week” compared to “never eat” over the past two years have a significantly reduced risk of mortality (death from any cause) by 42%.

    Not "fish", it's only fat sea fish that does the trick. Good luck finding one that's not endangered by overfishing or loaded with heavy metals (not the music ones). You could also just take omega 3 oil supplements.

    To be fair, correlation ≠ causation. Unless all other variables were accounted for (the starting health of all individuals, what the rest of their diet is, economic status, occupation, etc, etc), there's no way to know if the fish consumption was the specific reason for the variance in mortality rates.

    Sadly the fishing industry is ruinous to stocks of fish. By catch is still a huge problem. Drift nets and other industrial fishing is killing everything from cetaceans to fur seals. Plant based is best.

    I love the old classic rock and sometimes when I hear a song that I especially love, I'll get chills listening to it, just because I think it's so beautiful. I know that's just a subjective feeling, though. Not everyone likes the same music. Classical music leaves me cold. Oh, just to mention, I can "see" the music while it plays. The ending theme from ST:TNG is just gorgeous to me in its color and movement.

    Wow, I've never seen a picture of similary colored eyes than mine. Mine is a bit less brown around the pupil, more like oliveish green with hint of brown, then shifts through blue to grey on the outer edges. I have more gray than in the picture though. It's always been hard to answer about what color my eyes are. If there's no open answer, I just usually put blue-gray, as it's the most prominent color.

    Mine are like the picture, but I will call them brown if asked. But if I find a top that matches the green part and I wear it, my eyes will look green. If I put on a dark blue, red, violet, or black top, my eyes look brown.

    This does not seem possible. On average a person would sleep for 8 months in 2 years. So they're saying parents of newborns on average sleep for 2 months out of 24? That equates to 2 hours a night on average. I know babies impact sleep, but I can't believe it's that much on average.

    It did for me. I have a really hard time falling asleep, so getting up with my son was disastrous for me. Just as I would manage to fall back to sleep, he'd wake up again. Until he started sleeping through the night I would get 1-3 hours of sleep a night. And after he started sleeping through the night, I'd still wake up every few hours to check on him. It was a nightmare.

    Mine are the same! My daughter used to love spicy food until she turned two and until she turned 7 she rejected anything with even a speck of pepper. It's getting marginally better. But my 2YO is a bit more of a daredevil. They both like trying my grapefruit in the morning though because I love bitter flavours. They don't like it but they like to be brave, which I think is important when it comes to food and trying new things!

    Among the metrics the researchers examined were changes in blood levels of glucose and insulin. The data showed that even a five-minute walk after eating a meal had a measurable effect on moderating blood sugar levels. The beneficial effect of walking was observed during a 60- to 90-minute window following the meal.

    Just 2 minutes of walking after eating can help blood sugar, study says. Getting up and moving after you eat -- even if it's only for two minutes -- can help control blood sugar levels, a new study says.

    If you can't do that, try standing. It helps, too.

    As an old woman, I interpret this differently. I have two grown daughters whom I might see once a month and around the holidays, although we live in the same city. They have lives; husbands, jobs, activities...they are busy, and I don't want to bother them. But I get so excited when one of them calls out of the blue to talk or ask if I want to take a walk or grab a bite. The doldrums disappear, and I'm grinning from ear to ear as I rush to get dressed. They are strong, capable women in their 40s, but they will always be my babies, the greatest loves of my life. Having them pay me some mind gives me a reason to care about myself, making me want to live longer.

    It showed that high performance on IQ tests had a positive association with moderate drinking.

    In the 1970 British Cohort Study, it was found that higher childhood mental ability was associated with higher alcohol intake as an adult.

    Yes, and generally, they tend to use more drügs, legal or not. This expands into coffee, tobacco and the vast offerings of Flora and Pharma, and does not halt at alcohol. And, you almost never find alcoholocians who are in it since more than about 10 years who still appear intelligent. Seems like, about 10 years of drinking is what the human body, incuding brain, can take before it starts falling apart. And that alcohol seems the only drüg where being under its influence is never called "high" has reasons, too - there's nothing high about it, you just lose any filter that usually differentiates between stupid thoughts and things to actually follow through, gradually so, the more drunk, the less filtered, plus the balance of the body is down the drain even before the first leak is to be taken, and it generally is ... no part of alcoholing is any fun. Isn't that like the least requirement any drüg must fulfil, being somewhat fun, or useful to something that is?

    Distilled another few times alcohol, which no longer has any taste justifying a name in it, is even more effective. And I bet beer is less effective than wine, and that your usual Schnaps is slightly less effective than slightly stronger varieties of Schnaps are. Wonder if there's like some sort of effectiveness measurement, dunno, like a strength indicator of some sort... Hm ...

    You thought that the famously German motor company was British?

    For the flirter, maybe. What about the flirtees?

    I’d say it very much depends on whether they like it or not.

    After I proposed, my future wife - a bit of a hippie - asked me not to get her a ring. She dislikes jewelry. Just as a symbol of marriage we each bought cheap $10 rings. We've been married 24 years.

    Never buy a used wedding ring. Look what happened to the first wearer.

    My engagement ring was made in 1920, I bought it as an estate piece in 2003. I figured her marriage lasted that long, it would have lots of good karma for me. And it has, this summer we celebrated 21 years of happy marriage.

    Complicated divorces are expensive. Simple uncontested ones where neither side has a pot to pìss in can be mostly done with templates you can download from the internet.

    Nah. If it wasn't for the emotions life would be easier without a partner for women (as studies showed. ) I don't wanted my first bf because I knew this but the feelings were stronger and same with the next one and I really love him but life without a man was easier and less stressful. But also less in some good ways... It's hard to weight

    Yes, coldness tights the pores, but not permanently. Yes, rice has an effect on skin, but it won't do much in this form as it doesn't penetrate the skin. Better get a cream with rice extract in it!

    I genuinely don't get this kind of attitude. I'm an omnivore (I eat meat about 2-3 times a month and fish 1-2 times a week) but predominantly eat vegetarian food. I love all food and good veggie food is some of my favourite! Palak paneer, potato latkes with all the toppings, kitchari with fresh chillies and yoghurt, vegetable tempura ... there's so much variety in the vegetable world I don't understand how people can just discount it!

    It's from a book, "Me We Do Be: The Four Cornerstones of Success" by Randall Bell. He asked 5000 people about their habits and correlated their habits to their success or lack of success, the wrote a book about it.

    This article is searching correlations between weird things. Yes, if you are rich, have a nice bed with expensive covers and time in the morning because you either work from home or don't have to commute, good for you. But the real correlation is between already being wealthy and becoming a millionaire.

    Or... millionaires are three times as likely to make their bed as other people? 206% might seem a big number, but it really only means "three times as likely".

    Actually, it's twice. 100% is one. 200% is two, so 206% is just over twice as likely

    Lies! It does, however, make you many percentages more likely to break a toe by kicking the head/footboard while traipsing around the bed to make it!

    Being a millionaire is relative to the currency. It would take about 240 USD to be a millionaire in Columbia or about 20,000 USD in India.

    As someone who had a 5 year old son for precisely one year I believe I have the authority to say that rather than a Mercedes you should have bribed them with chicken nuggets. 5 year olds will do anything for chicken nuggets and that should be top of this list because that is a FACT.
