Did you know that eating while walking in Japan is considered rude?
Japanese tend not to eat while walking along or standing around on the street. However, it is acceptable to drink while standing aside a vending machine. Eating and drinking on local trains, but not long distance express trains, is also frowned upon.

Did you know that the origins of ice cream can be traced back to ancient times? As far back as the first century, records hint at the existence of cold desserts enjoyed by ancient cultures such as Rome, Mughal India, and the Tang Dynasty in China. These early versions likely consisted of ice or snow flavored with fruits, honey, or juices. However, the creamy goodness we all know and love took longer to evolve. It wasn’t until much later that the marriage of cream and coldness became the treat we all know and love today.
In this episode of Ted Ed, Vivian Jiang traces the history of ice cream. from its origins in the first century right up to the cream-based treat we know today. Watch below!
You know the feeling. Sure, when a good character dies, it hits us in the feels, and when it’s an animal, it’s even more terrible. But it’s the worst when a struggling character is in a bad situation and is doing his best, especially when we’re talking about kids!

The first trailer of the final movie of the Venom trilogy is finally here, and as someone who loved the first two movies, I can’t wait to watch it! I know plenty of people are ambivalent about these, but as far as I’m concerned, they’re actually better than most Marvel based movies Sony has released so far.
In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.
Till death do they part. Tom Hardy returns in #Venom: The Last Dance – coming exclusively to theaters this October.

Typically, with any piece of technology, you pump one unit of energy in and you get about one out. That’s just the first law of thermodynamics: energy has to be conserved. But there’s a piece of technology called a heat pump, where for every bit of energy you put in, you get three to five times as much heat out. What wizardry is this?
Dig into the science of how heat pumps both heat and cool a home, and find out the benefits and drawbacks of this technology.
