A plethora of information can be found on the internet at all hours of the day and night.
The following are a few tidbits of information to remember...
1. Assuming you want to tip 20 percent for good service, move the decimal point one digit to the left and then double that number. It's that easy! For example, if a bill is for $35.50, you move the decimal to the left, which gives you $3.55. Double that number, and you've got $7.10—a 20 percent tip calculated in seconds. 🧐
2. If you're feeling a bit on the short side, measure yourself when you first wake up. According to medical experts this may be due to gravity compressing cartilage in our spine and in other parts of our bodies, such as our knees when we stand up or sit down throughout the day. "While we are lying down in a resting position, the spine is said to "spread out" or decompress, so when we wake in the morning we are taller after lying in bed all night. I need all the help I can get! 🤣
3. Sleeping in a cold room can help you slim down. Just a single month of sleeping in a 66-degree room helped increase a persons' fat-burning ability by as much as 10 percent, according to research. Good to hear👍
4. If you like crunching ice after you finish your soda, you might be suffering from anemia. Also known as "pagophagia," the compulsive eating of ice may not just be a nervous tick, but a way of cooling inflammation in the mouth caused by a lack of iron, according to the Mayo Clinic. So if you like chomping down on those cubes, get thee to a doctor, stat! 😳
5. Did you know microscopic mites live on your face. Don't freak out, but your face is crawling with eight-legged, spider-like creatures. Fortunately, they are microscopic and impossible to see—but, according to the BBC, they're mites with long, worm-like bodies residing in hair follicles and pores or sebaceous glands. 😲
6. Guys you will never guess that high heels were first designed for men! At the end of the 16th century, Persian-inspired style was all the rage in Europe, according to the J. Paul Getty Museum, and heels were seen as being virile and masculine—and a great way to boost your height a few inches. Wow! 🧐
7. Women have more pain receptors than men. They also have a higher tolerance for pain than men do. That explains why women bare the children.🌝
8. There's a trick to foil and plastic wrap. There are perforated spots on either side of a box of aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Punch those tabs in, and they hold the foil or wrap in place, and you never have to deal with accidentally flinging a roll across the kitchen ever again. Who knew! 😇
9. Air isn't mostly oxygen. Air is actually 78 percent nitrogen. An over abundance of oxygen can actually make you feel kind of high. That's why oxygen bars started to become a thing for a bit in the late '90s and early '00s. 😲
10. Blue cheese can change your dreams. Having strange dreams? It's time to skip the blue cheese on your salad. According to research from the British Cheese Board, eating blue cheese is particularly associated with vivid dreams. Wow! 😲
