Want to have a better body? Want to lose weight? Beware the fad diet that may be based more on marketing money and social media influencers’ tripe than on any reputable research. That’s not to say that all diets are a waste of time, since some changes to diet and lifestyle can definitely have measurable effects on one’s weight and health.
Preparing for the IELTS test? Here are some graphs for you to practise describing. Alternatively, ever wondered how rich are you? You can use the first two calculators to measure respectively your income compared with British incomes, and your net worth according to the total value of all your assets as it compares with Americans.
Have you ever thought what you would do if there was a sudden collapse of civilisation that shut society down, or in the event of a nuclear holocaust that wiped out all cities but somehow left you alive?
Is multi-level marketing (MLM) a scam, a cult, or just a predatory business practice? The clear message of the author of the article below is that it is akin to a cult, due to its pyramid structure and practices conforming to Steve Hassan’s BITE Model, as well as falling more on the destructive side of the Influence Continuum from that model.
Scary headlines about the increased risk of cancer always garner a lot of hits on news sites. This is especially so when that cancer could result from everyday foods, activities, or devices, and social media is a more than willing accomplice in furthering the dissemination of this nonsense.
Flying cars, hoverboards, jetpacks, time travel – these are just a few of the outlandish predictions of sci-fi authors that are entertaining as thought experiments, but which have no real chance of ever actually being feasibly deployed in society on a large scale, let alone mass-produced and dominating our lives, as in the dystopian visions of the near future that this genre churns out by the thousands claims.
Health fads are a fascinating thing, not unlike shooting stars in many respects. They appear all of a sudden seemingly out of nowhere, burn brightly for only a short moment, then disappear just as quickly as they came.
Animal rights and conservation would seem to be two issues that go hand-in-hand, but that all depends on what your definition of conservation is, and whether or not you actually value animal rights more than just in name.
What’s in a name? Quite a lot apparently, as it defines the very meaning given to concepts that we need to represent, interact with and think about the world. Is it fair then, that big industries and companies can determine how words are used, claiming exclusive rights over their usage and even owning them?
No, plastic is not fantastic, and if you haven’t woken up to this fact yet, you are in for a rude shock. Despite the fashionable trend towards banning single-use plastics in some cities around the world, and the somewhat Quixotic efforts at recycling, the reality is that all these amount to just a tiny drop in the ocean, because we are generating a tsunami of plastic every day.
