Did you guys know there’s a cure for hiccups?
All you do is have a glass of water. You pull a paper towel taught over it. You tighten it down with some rubber bands.
Then you drink through the paper towel. So that you have to suck the water through it.
Apparently hiccups are an entirely pressure based issue. By doing that, you reset the thing that was going wrong. You completely cured your hiccups.

Did you know? That the disease, ebola can all be traced back to a single tree.
This tree was deep in the darkest patch of forest in the jungles of Africa.
Due to illegal deforestation. Lumberjacks were out working in the forest when the first one was bitten by a particularly sick and aggressive bat, that flew out from this tree…
 To this day, this is one of the most destructive diseases. We don’t know how long it was out there in the woods. If we hadn’t been chopping down the forest, it would still be waiting out there.

Originally the foot fetish was first observed during The bubonic plague. It is a mental state of still finding someone very attractive. While actually being very unattracted to the parts of them that would make you sick. Interesting, isn’t it? This was also why milk maiden’s were suddenly considered sex icons. Believe it or not. There’s actually something called cowpox. Milk maidens had been exposed to this disease numerous times because they worked on the farm. So when people started dying of smallpox. They never caught it… The perception of them being some super healthy, fertile, beautiful goddess, was based off of the fact that they never got sick from the smallpox epidemic. Isn’t that fun?

Did you know that wasps become aggressive because of their diet?

GenesisCorrupted said: There is actually a flaw that wasps made a long time ago. They eat meat. So over the course of the year. As their brain fills with holes. They become very aggressive. To a point where they’re just attacking anything. It’s a seasonal thing.
Wasp safe nest removal: You can smoke it. Once the smoke gets them nice and docile. You can try to remove it yourself and just go ditch it out in the forest. Be careful, and wear lots of clothing to protect yourself. A beekeeper mask would be very well advised. But with my advice. You’d be able to take care of this yourself. And the problem would be permanently solved. But yeah, you need to start a fire like right in front of this drain pipe. And then fan all that smoke from all that green stuff you’re burning. You want a lot of smoke. Right onto that nest. Put it in a box. Then when you are out in the forest. Grab that piece of tape that’s keeping the box close. Then get ready to run when you rip it off.

This is a method for killing the desert. I’m not talking about the naturally existing desert. I’m talking about the encroaching desert that is destroying Iceland. It is being single-handedly killed by a invasive plant called blue lupine. It produces a lot of nitrogen into the soil, allowing reforestation of an otherwise desolated area. It also happens to be quite gorgeous.
 This is still an invasive species. It does have potential for destruction as well. But I must say it is incredibly satisfying, watching something take back land from desert.

Did you know that the Romans used to rinse out their mouth with urine to make their teeth white? They also washed their hair with it to make it softer and shinier.
In fact, it was so prevalent for a while there. That people with nasty black & yellow teeth would laugh at people with white teeth. Because it usually meant they swished their mouth out with pee.
