Women get drunk faster than men because their bodies have less water and fewer enzymes to break down alcohol. This means alcohol stays stronger and longer in their blood. Because of this, women face higher risks of health problems from drinking, even if they drink less than men. 🍷⚠️

You can also press your abdomen forcefully against a hard surface like the back of a chair or countertop to help dislodge the object blocking your airway. Call emergency services if you can’t clear the blockage quickly. 🚨🤚

Nutmeg has a chemical called myristicin that can cause a long high with hallucinations if eaten or sniffed in large amounts. It can cause nausea, vomiting, and heart problems. Hallucinations start hours later, so people overdose too much by accident. Many, especially teens, try it once and stop because it feels bad. 🌰⚠️ @googlefactss #NutmegHigh #HealthRisks #StaySafe

Project SUNSHINE studied radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons testing.

Over 1,500 human "samples" were stolen from grieving families worldwide but only 500 were analyzed.

Many were babies and young children.

Bodies and body parts were stolen from hospitals and shipped to the United States without their parents’ knowledge or consent.

Stillborn babies were among the human remains stolen for research.

Dr. Willard Libby who ordered the bodies to be snatched was later given a Nobel prize.

Corn flakes were created as an easy-to-digest, pre-prepared and healthy breakfast food, especially for patients at the Kellogg Sanitarium in Michigan.

J.H. Kellogg promoted a plain, bland diet to discourage masturbation, but corn flakes were never advertised as an “anti-masturbatory morning meal.”

The human clitoris has about 10,000 to 11,000 nerve fibers, much more than the old estimate of 8,000. This number was based on cow studies, not humans. The clitoris is very small but has many nerves, making it very sensitive. Scientists studied tissue from seven people to find this new number. This helps with surgeries for gender changes and injuries. 🔬✨👙

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).
