Why His Antarctic Expedition Was Doomed From The Start
Переглядів 39 тис.7 годин тому
Following in the footsteps of one of his biggest heroes, Antarctic explorer Henry Worsley dreamed of crossing the continent completely on his own, but the voyage ended in tragedy. Inspired by the incredibly tough, competitive, and stubborn explorers of the early-1900s, the Worsley Antarctic expedition of 2015 was an attempt to re-create a voyage Ernest Shackleton attempted but never completed 1...
The Shocking History of Cannibalism
Переглядів 52 тис.12 годин тому
Cannibalism has existed throughout history and, in 2023, we learned about many instances of the practice taking place. While a lot of historical sources that contain such stories are written with bias, those same documents create a very grim look at the past. Often, part of that past includes famine, starvation, and the struggle to survive - all of which can lead to cannibalism. There are also ...
The Science Behind Our Strange Sex Practices
Переглядів 74 тис.19 годин тому
Let's face it, the very act of sex is weird. And gross. And the reason you exist. And the driving force behind the world's technology. Human beings have developed some very strange habits, and it's easy to look at something like, say, nasolingusts (nose lickers) and wonder, simply: why? But the science behind bedroom practices is actually fascinating. The oft-repeated "Rule 34" states that for ...
The Stephen King Book Even He Doesn't Want You To Read
Переглядів 55 тис.День тому
Stephen King didn't earn the title King of Horror by sticking to safe subjects or shying away from taboo characters. Vampires, children being run over by semi trucks, and a girl dispatching bully classmates with her telepathic powers titillated readers and fans, but never elicited outrage on a large scale. Yet the most controversial King book of all time is one he wrote while still a 16-year-ol...

Why Does The Electoral College Actually Exist?
Переглядів 39 тис.21 день тому
We all know that once every four years, Americans go to the polls to vote for a new President. But this technically isn’t true. Americans don’t actually vote directly for a commander in chief; they elect representatives who then decide the next president. Complicated? Sure, and maybe even a little misleading. But this system wasn’t designed on a whim. The Founding Fathers and their fancy wigs h...

    My Grandmother was raising 13 children during the Depression in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. Wild forage is what kept food on the table. My grandfather and my older uncles took deer, squirrels, rabbits and wild turkeys every chance they got but my Grandmother also made flour from the plentiful acorns that were widely available too. She made a flat bread with the flour that she served to the youngest children with a splash of milk (just to wet it - which could have easily been breast milk because Granny always had a baby on her hip) and the older kids got it with a drizzle of wild honey or with a half teaspoon of wild violet jelly that she canned from flowers the kids would collect from the yard or from the roadside ditches on their 5 mile walk to & from school. Another popular lunch meal was wild apple & onion sandwiches with the flat bread too, or sometimes w/o the bread, just the whole veggie or fruit wrapped in a piece of cloth and carried in their pockets. My mother told many stories of only having a raw potato in her pocket for lunch and of pinching other raw veggies (like peas & radishes) from neighbor’s gardens as she and her brothers & sisters passed by on their way to school because they were hungry and had to leave the house with only a hot tea like broth for breakfast for the girls…..older boys got more because (the thinking was) they needed more strength to also do chores on the farm before & after school.

    Weird History. How do you not get that MAIL IN VOTING, you can vote MULTIPLE TIMES and you won't get caught. Democrats changed the rules to allow a WHOLE MONTH and abuse mail in voting. Connect the dots buddy. They were cheating.

    @fatbastard9187 7 годин тому

    You forgot about how the Democrats changed the rules of the election due to the "pandemic" in order to get Biden enough votes to get in the White House. Never in history have you seen the obvious cheating in the election with the abuse in MAIL IN VOTING. Also the non-stop attack on Trump while he was in office with the impeachments, stories about Ukraine hoax, Russian hoax, Stormy Daniels hush money case, classified docs, 99% CORPORATE MEDIA on anti-Trump. Also j6 "insurrection" was PLANNED with full of feds and Capitol cops playing politics like Harry Dunn sobbing over name calling with the word that rhymes with a person who nags. Weird history unfortunately only following the "corporate media perspective" of the 2020 timeline. AKA Democrat narrative.
