What is the recent obsession with βraw doggingβ?
The colloquial phrase is popping up everywhere, despite its unfortunate origins. What does it mean and why canβt I have a wee on a plane? People keep telling me Iβm βraw doggingβ the city because I refuse to carry a rucksack to work. Of the endless colloquial terms that seem to spawn from Gen Z and TikTok, this is probably my favourite β along with saying βpauseβ at anything that unintentionally...
my stupid βincurableβ disorder(s)
one truly sh*t medical marvel. So, my name has once again popped up on the Wildcard rotation and to be honest I donβt have a tonne of topics Iβd like to explore. However, yesterday evening the night sky was full of static again and my ears were ringing till my offspring woke me up early this morning. I guess Iβll just talk about that. Apologies in advance if this is lacking any...
Scientists are attempting to prove that weβre living in a simulation
Humans have questioned the authenticity of our existence for centuries, but former NASA scientist Thomas Campbell is aiming to ratify once and for all whether weβre living in a simulation. RenΓ© Descartes in the 1600s came up with the immemorial Latin phrase βcogito, ergo sumβ β translated to βI think, therefore I am.β Preoccupied with thoughts that his senses may have been fooled by an intangible faux existence, he posited that...
Study says the moon is slowly drifting further from Earth
Scientists say the moon is gradually moving further from Earth and that the process will eventually elongate our day cycle to 25 hours. How fast is the moon drifting? Will the Earth lose its natural satellite? Will I be forced to work overtime? So many questions. Scientists say the moon is gradually moving away from Earth in increments of around 3.82 centimetres annually. In some 200 million years, itβs predicted that...
What happens to our online data after death?
Our digital footprints will long outlive us, inadvertently leaving our loved ones to tackle a privacy conundrum. Should we care? Fear of death is an existential crisis most people contend with at several stages of life. When getting our affairs in order, however, little thought is given as to what will happen to our digital data once our clogs are popped. When cleaning through the effects of a recently departed loved...
What is βProject 2025β and will it ever see daylight?
A think tank called the Heritage Foundation is urging Trump to make the US a Christian nationalist state, should he get a second term in charge. Liberals are laughing and the former president is emphatically distancing himself. Imagine a βLand of the Freeβ where watching porn is enough to land citizens in jail. That is a future the Heritage Foundation, a major US think tank, is hoping to secure by as...
Survey reveals half of NHS nurse students have considered quitting
Figures revealed by the Guardian suggest that 32,000 nursing students in England may walk away over fears of burnout. Nearly half of nursing students in England have contemplated quitting their studies before graduation, amid the worst workforce crisis in NHS history, according to a new survey by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN). The end of a supportive grant for nursing students in 2017 has led to a steep decline in...
Why are European Gen Zers taking Nazi-themed party drugs?
As an increasing number of European youngsters lurch towards far-right political views, are the themes of their party drugs following. Or, is this just another obscure trend? When one mentions ecstasy, what immediately springs to mind: perhaps love, euphoria, or overwhelming feelings of empathy. What isnβt typically conjured is thoughts of genocide, hate, and fascism. Why then are party drugs across Europe increasingly showing iconography related to Nazis and other extremist...
Climate change barely covered in US presidential debate
After a marathon debate between Biden and Trump lasting over an hour and a half, climate change got its brief moment under the spotlight - lasting around a grand total of 90 seconds. In what seemed more like an afterthought than a planned discussion, the global crisis barely made the agenda between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. It was the first time the two had squared off since...
