He erased his anus from the Internet, tourist cemeteries, Chinese cyberpunk and the biggest crocodile that ever existed. And if you want more, there is more, but I'm not going to write it all down. So keep reading and satisfy your curiosity.
10 Spanish words that changed meaning over time
"Imagine that on a recent vacation a very kind flight attendant assisted you when you felt ill on a long airplane flight. We would all understand what this scene is about. But if we used a time machine and traveled to the 17th century, for example, a Spanish speaker might imagine something very different and almost certainly would not understand anything."
He asks for legal advice to erase his anus from the Internet. It goes wrong
"Every time this person searched their name on Google, the first result was the page about their anus that had been created in 2012, when they were 15 years old. After years of unsuccessful attempts to delete the page, this person decided to turn to Reddit for solutions."
Who said fear? The most curious cemeteries in the world
"Cemeteries are not usually a recommended visit in most tourist packages, perhaps because most people are not aware that they are not only the place to give rest to our deceased, but many are true works of art. Open-air museums. Thus, with the aim of making these spaces known from an artistic perspective, from Anthropologies we recommend a tour through the five continents to discover some of the most beautiful and curious cemeteries in the world. Pay attention and delve into necrotourism."
Coronavirus: China uses drones with speakers to make sure its citizens wear masks and stay home
"Among the different tools used to ensure that the rules are strictly enforced, the government resorted to one that has caught attention: drones with speakers, through which police officers identify those who are in violation." The most cyberpunk thing I've seen in years.
Why are bats carriers of so many viruses?
"Bats, whose scientific name is chiropterans (Chiroptera), are a type of mammal whose upper limbs developed into wings. They are not rodents; they are the only flying mammals. Perhaps you don't know that there are more than 1,200 different species of bats, representing approximately 20% of all mammal species. Among mammals, they are the second most numerous group after rodents."
The unexpected and unknown effect of paracetamol and other common drugs on our personality
"The 'patient five' was over 55 years old when a visit to the doctor changed his life. He had diabetes, and had decided to participate in a study to see if taking statins—a type of cholesterol-lowering drug—could help him. But shortly after starting the treatment, his wife began to notice a sinister transformation."
The largest crocodile that has ever existed
"The giant prehistoric crocodiles were enormous animals capable of competing on equal terms with some of the largest animals that have existed, and if we want to find the largest crocodile in history, we must go back millions of years in time."
Dresden. Different positions of the same human tragedy
"We remember 75 years of the tragedy caused by the Allied forces in the German city of Dresden, which would precede in the following months the unconditional surrender of Germany and the end of the war in Europe. Given the time elapsed and the existence of dozens of articles and books that differ and debate the facts, it is essential to reassess the data that historiography has accumulated over these decades."
500 years ago the first circumnavigation of the world began, without GPS and almost without food
"The initial objective of the expedition, initially commanded by the Portuguese Ferdinand Magellan and concluded by the Spanish Juan Sebastián Elcano, was to reach the Moluccas, the Spice Islands, equivalent to present-day Indonesia. The mission, which ended up giving the first circumnavigation of the world, had the approval and sponsorship of King Charles I of Spain, who saw great commercial opportunities in those islands."
The agonizing odyssey of the submarine S-5 (1920)
"In the history of naval rescues, especially in the case of submarines, it is not frequent for a sinking to be told by the entire crew alive. The case of the American submarine S-5 is one of the most astonishing cases of a shipwreck of a submersible vehicle that, after an agonizing odyssey, ended happily."
From Plato to Nietzsche, a philosophy class in seven graphs to think and then exist
"This philosophical 'dictionary' also does not pretend to be a heavy book, but rather a small glossary that can serve as a gateway to learn about certain authors (or their reflections). Therefore, it is valid for both novices and experts who want to refresh their memory with a single glance at these graphs."
The Sewee, the American tribe that became extinct trying to reach England in canoes
"Why settle for a tiny profit from the middleman when in the final market a much higher price can be obtained? This is the commercial strategy that the Sewee Indians decided to adopt in the last quarter of the 18th century, when they got tired of the English colonists paying them a ridiculous amount for the skins they sold them compared to what they obtained by selling them in England."
