You know by now your phone’s battery performance degrades the older it gets. That’s just how lithium-ion batteries work, unfortunately. With each charging cycle, they wear down a bit. Eventually, it becomes too big a problem to ignore.
When folks living in caves routinely ate each other. Wait, what? Yep, scientists have found lots of evidence of cannibalism in ancient societies — primarily as a way to honor and respect the dead. Yum.

How much a 27-year-old government contractor made in a year. That year, though, she worked 92 hours a week in Taiwan. Ouch. Fascinating read.
That’s how much Reddit is getting paid to hand over user content for AI training. The “who” is a mystery for now, but just know that you agree to this in the terms and conditions if you use Reddit.
🤳🏻 Does it bother you when you’re talking with someone and they get a notification on their phone, look down and read it? It’s like your convo with them wasn’t as important as knowing the exact moment someone liked a tweet or posted a new vacation photo. So rude.
My solution: Let notifications come through at specific times. This way, you can stay focused on what matters.

Scientists say a $5 circuit board can sample saliva to detect breast cancer. The test strips cost a few cents each. As someone who hates cancer, I love this.
That’s what video game Baldur’s Gate 3 brought in for Hasbro last year. It’s based on Dungeons & Dragons. Old-school nerds, this one is for you!
