Most of us keep our heads down and mind our own business while commuting via public transportation. I’m often staring out the window daydreaming or watching videos on my cell phone, and the only time I interact with anyone else on the bus is when I offer up a seat to someone who might need it more than I do.But one person recently had an unfortunate experience with a fellow bus passenger who should have simply kept her mouth shut. Below, you’ll find the full story that was shared on Reddit detailing how an entitled…

A study highlights the potential of 670 nm red light to stimulate mitochondrial energy production and reduce blood glucose levels, offering a promising non-invasive technique for diabetes management. It also points to the health risks of prolonged blue light exposure from LEDs, emphasizing the need for a balance between red and blue light to preserve health.Shining a specific frequency of red light on a person’s back for 15 minutes can reduce blood sugar levels, according to a new study from City, University of London and…

Life can be unpredictable, no matter how much you try to plan it. Sometimes, things just happen, and there’s nothing else to do except to deal with in any way you can think of. For some, homelessness is one of these things. Sadly, people who become homeless for any reason (and there are plenty of those) tend to be horribly mistreated.One of the best examples of this is today’s story. A homeless person’s shelter was destroyed by some random people for no apparent reason, and this resulted in the person being trapped for…

A simple and effective framework to build confidence in your data presentations“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. “ — Albert EinsteinIf you are a Data Person, it’s very much possible that you spend a substantial amount of time in your career going through various phases of lowered confidence levels in creating effective data presentations.

It’s mind-boggling to think that some human beings (considering today’s topic, hard to use that particular phrasing) can’t even do the bare minimum.Bare minimum, of course, refers to taking out the trash to its appropriate place, either inside the building, or right beside it. Nope, that’s not the case with some folks. Apparently, it’s easier for them to just chuck it over the fence into someone else’s backyard. Why… just why…? Taking out the trash is comparatively easy as chores go, but some folks still manage to…

When commuting to work in the morning, most of us are just going through the motions. But on rare occasions, we might have the opportunity to become a real-life superhero and make another traveler’s day (or even save their life).One Reddit user recently shared that they were tardy to work because they stopped to ensure that a fellow train passenger was okay. But their reward for this good deed was getting fired. Below, you’ll find the full story, as well as some of the replies readers have shared. This person didn’t…

In 2014, the bodies of nearly 800 babies and small children were found in the septic tank of a former mother and baby home in Tuam, Galway. They had been deposited over four decades, a practice that only ended in 1961. This grisly discovery, made by a local historian, forced a long overdue public reckoning in Ireland.Why was it considered necessary, by individual families as well as the Catholic church and the Irish state, to place unmarried pregnant girls in brutal institutions, to subject their babies to coerced…

Missing Persons must have been a very difficult book to write, for certainly it is difficult to read. This is not due to any defects of style or execution – it is an expertly crafted work, at once vigorous and subtle, which manages its effects and conserves its revelations with all the skill of a master novelist. The difficulty for the reader is in struggling to absorb the pain and pity of the story, or stories, which it relates.All families nurse guilty secrets, secret sorrows, as Clair Wills more than once acknowledges.…

The fact that even at a smaller company, people will straight up steal your food is an unfortunate revelation many of us make at our first job. Folks will simply lift your snacks and even entire meals out of the communal fridge and eat it like there is no tomorrow. So people have to start getting craft with revenge.One office worker was plagued by a frequent food thief, so they decided to set up a spicy, habanero trap. Readers thought the capsium-ladden revenge was hilarious and others shared their own stories in the…
