Some people are skeptical about biodegradable materials, but honestly, ten years ago nobody believed paper straws would catch on either. I think if we can turn leftover plant waste…

Totally agree. Calculators didn’t kill math. Cameras didn’t kill painting. Tools change the baseline, but people still push the edges. The ones who love the craft won’t stop just b…

If you want to slow cognitive decline or improve mental flexibility, then learning a second language, even if it's started later in life, does make sense, but expecting it to impro…

What’s striking here isn’t just the spiders it’s the idea that living creatures can directly plug into chemical energy from the Earth without sunlight. That’s a whole ecosystem pow…

It reminded me of the last time I walked into a random little cafe in a strange city and heard some live jazz music. The whole atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. When you are not i…

If a person does not read books, then his values are determined by the people around him, because he has no other input channels, he can only imitate the people around him, or slow…

It's a fascinating idea that gravity could be an emergent result of how information works in the universe. I feel like we still don't have that clear piece of evidence where this m…

My attitude towards AI is one of balance not overly dependent, but not completely rejecting either. After all, AI is already playing an important role in many fields, and I believe…

I used to make these long to do lists and chase after big goals. But honestly, most of them never got done. What actually helped me were small limits, like not checking Slack after…

I also found that I was most likely to procrastinate when the goal was too vague and the task was too big. So now I will break the task into super small steps, such as "open a file…

To be honest, these "Bin Stores" are really a bit strange, like treasure hunting, but also like endless consumption. I went there once last weekend, and curiosity drove me in. To b…

Honestly, this incident makes me feel that it is really difficult to draw a clear line between “protecting privacy” and “obeying the law”. On the one hand, I am very relieved that …

Early flight simulators were a real leap forward in technology, even though the frame rate and graphics processing were very primitive at the time, and 2 frames per second was only…

This is the first time I've heard something like this I had no idea animals could be left handed too! We used to have two budgies at home, but I never paid attention to which foot …

Watching cockatoos figure out stuff like this really makes me wonder have we been seriously underestimating bird intelligence all this time? We tend to associate tool use with prim…

I’ve been thinking maybe part of it is just how much more we use our brains these days without even noticing. Like, my grandparents had tough lives, sure, but things were pretty ro…

I think that when a new era comes, we should choose to embrace it actively. Today, the humanities face unprecedented challenges, but they also contain new opportunities. The rise o…

I’m not sure “useful” or “valued” really captures how things work at most jobs. In my experience, whether you get promoted or paid well has more to do with things like: how much mo…

Creating when no one’s watching can feel incredibly free. But I totally understand the pressure. When rent is due and people keep asking, “So, can you make a living from that?”, it…

I often get added to random WhatsApp groups by strangers. I usually just leave right away. Sometimes I do wonder what the goal is. Do people really fall for this kind of thing in g…

I’ve always felt that every animal probably has its own kind of language. We humans just can’t always hear it or make sense of it. I remember reading about a study on dolphin sound…

Honestly I feel like a lot of the “battery life is worse now” talk kind of misses something important. The way we use our devices has completely changed. Back then we used them in …

Is there anyone currently capable of developing an AI soulmate, where conversations aren’t dull and boring? It could truly understand you, know your past, and even anticipate your …

Such cute owls! Do they need to be wrapped in a towel because it gives them a sense of security? Just like babies, they sleep better when wrapped up tightly. Rescuing small animals…
