Ever wondered what exactly goes on in our brains when we encounter something that surprises us? In this case, it could be looking through these photos that made you go, “wait, what?”
According to Berkeley’s The Greater Good Science Center, there are four stages of surprise response: freeze, find, shift, and share.

As Greater Good explains, the freeze stage happens the moment we are stopped in our tracks for seeing or hearing something unexpected. The “Find” stage that follows is when we begin to decipher what’s going on and try to understand how it all happened.
The Shift stage is when our perspectives begin to take shape and shift, typically in response to conflicting findings. The final stage, Share, is when we begin to share the feeling of surprise with others.

Surprising events also make learning new information much easier. According to Psychology Today, unexpected events trigger a surge of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter and hormone partly responsible for the fight-or-flight response.
With the surge in norepinephrine comes increased focus and alertness, which ultimately promotes better learning.

3rd R, Not Present 😂
Earthquake903 1 day ago
So many people actually think this way. They can clearly see the 3rd R but, for whatever reason, they will deny it's existence. Just like the m****r of Renee Good. There are people who actually watch the videos and think they see justifiable hömicide.

Our What?
Of course, no one wants ugly surprises. So if you want to invite more pleasant ones, here are some ways, as suggested by the Greater Good:
- Mix up your routines. Take the bus instead of driving to work or eat at a new restaurant. Unexpected changes may lead to new insights.
- Do something random for someone. Offer to wash the dishes, then clean out the fridge. The goal is to under-promise and over-deliver.
- Make a “struggle sandwich.” Simply put, take a big risk sandwiched between smaller risks that will likely go well. Doing so helps you connect risk-taking with something positive.

Lil Dacryocystorhinostomy. So annoying that it takes 50 attempts to pronounce it and then sounds like a complete rap song in itself.

Written by a man, no doubt. Guys, period pads aren't rocket science. don't play - or be - dumb.

You know that most times when women claim something was "obviously made/written by a guy" they turn out to be wrong? There's an advert for Always leak pants (or something, I forget the name) on the radio at the moment. It's the worst advert out, featuring the awful pun of "looks like I found my flow" in reference to bladder leaks, and I bet it was written by a woman. In fact, I've just checked and it was made in collaboration with two prominent FEMALE "celebrities" who wanted to raise awareness about incontinence. So please quit this "It's awful and about women so a man must have made it".
