2 weeks ago I heard a middle-aged white man rapping to "Space Jam" in a karaoke bar and my life may never be the same. How much money will it take to surgically remove the lines "here's your chance do that dance at the Space Jam" from my brain?
Once met a person who thought he could "train" his eyes to no longer be near-sighted. It was sad, infuriating, silly and frustrating all at once. He spent a lot of time squinting.

I have zero interest in getting buff but found this really interesting! Why some people have a harder time building muscle than others.
Ever wondered why some people struggle to build muscles more than others, even if they follow all the right routines?

My mom is like a jury magnet. Every time she's called up, she gets chosen -- often for big, drawn-out trials. I wonder what lawyers see in her that means she never gets removed?
I love the music but man, the gender dynamics in Grease are MESSED up. Also, why is the solution for Sandy to start chain smoking and get all vamped up, rather than for Zuko to get his act together and get off the prison-track?

Encounters with orcas off the Iberian coast have resulted in three sunken sailboats and many more vessels damaged since May 2020. Sailors say adults are teaching juveniles how to attack, but experts @Orca_Iberica are not so sure...

Bought a new car. It has lane assist, 3D cameras, a fancy screen with a bunch of menus and I'm pretty sure that 3 years from now I won't have figured out any of them and will still be flailing about when it's time to put on my windshield wipers.
