Actually! I prefer buying 'near-expiry' items.

If you go to a really terrible restaurant Your expression will be like these sammies, collapsing in despair

In winter, touching a metal doorknob often feels painfully cold, but a wooden desk in the same room doesn't feel as chilly. Interestingly, even when metal and wood are at the same temperature, metal usually feels colder. The reason lies in their different abilities to conduct heat. Metal generally conducts heat much better than wood. When your hand touches metal, heat transfers away from your hand more quickly, making your brain perceive a distinct coldness. Wood has lower thermal conductivity, so heat dissipates more slowly, making it feel less cold. This is also why a metal spoon gets hot quickly in hot soup, while wooden utensils typically don't transfer heat as fast. However, this doesn't mean the metal itself is necessarily at a lower temperature; it's just that the rate of heat exchange with our skin is different. Sometimes, the difference we feel in touch isn't entirely about how cold an object is, but how quickly heat moves.

This is my achievement from walking home from school yesterday!

The worst part of job hunting is wasting your time on interviews! One netizen complained that they applied to a company where the salary was listed as 'negotiable,' only to find out in the 3rd interview that the monthly salary was only 38,000 NTD. They expressed dissatisfaction and wondered why companies don't just disclose their actual salaries. The netizen posted on Dcard, recalling an instance where they applied to a company that listed 'negotiable' in the salary section on a job search website. After going through three rounds of interviews, they were told the monthly salary was only 38,000 NTD, which angered them, leading them to exclaim, 'If I had known it was this low earlier, I wouldn't have wasted my time interviewing.' After the post went viral, many netizens commented, such as 'What's the point of writing 'negotiable' if you're not offering over 40,000 NTD?', 'According to the law, if it's listed as negotiable and not exceeding 40,000 NTD, it's illegal, no exceptions,' 'Negotiable means it must be over 40,000 NTD; you can report it if it's false,' and 'It feels like the 40,000 NTD threshold for negotiation needs to be raised. 40,000 NTD used to be livable, but now it's no different from low wages. Seeing 'negotiable' and then being offered only 40,000 NTD is really something.' I didn't know there was a regulation stating that 'negotiable' salaries below 40,000 NTD are illegal. Did you all know about this?

Sometimes I think if there were really a time machine, I'd want to go back to my youth and do some things over... But for me now, kicking off my shoes after work, casually scrolling on my phone, and watching a drama feels pretty good too. It's a solid kind of satisfaction. Be happy for this moment, because this moment is your life. The best state of life isn't living in the 'what ifs' of the past or the 'supposes' of the future, but earnestly taking bites of the hot food in your hand and cherishing every ordinary laugh from those around you. Living today well is the best!

The wrong people will eventually drift away, and the right people will eventually meet. You can't avoid the people you're meant to meet, and you can't escape the trials you're meant to go through. You can only move forward better when you learn to let go. You have to admit one fact: you cannot decide when someone appears, nor can you decide when someone leaves. All you can do is cherish the unexpected surprises and accept the sudden losses. Cut off what you cannot control, discard those you have no fate with, and let go of the worries and obsessions in your heart. Everything in sight is a memory. Everything you think of is in the past. Only by letting go of obsession can you return to peace.

This isn't because your skin swells up by absorbing water, but rather your nervous system's active 'anti-slip technology' at play! Many people have always believed that fingers wrinkle because the skin absorbs water like a sponge, causing it to swell and deform. However, medical research has long debunked this myth: if the nerves in your fingers (like the median nerve) are damaged, your skin won't wrinkle at all, no matter how long you soak them! In reality, when skin is exposed to water for an extended period, moisture seeps through the sweat gland ducts, stimulating the nerve endings beneath the skin. These nerves report to the sympathetic nervous system and issue a precise command: to immediately constrict the blood vessels under the skin of your fingers (Vasoconstriction)! When the blood vessels constrict, the volume inside the finger decreases, and the outer skin loses its support, passively pulling and contracting into regular wrinkles. Scientists have found that these wrinkles, much like the 'tread patterns' on car tires, help us quickly channel water away in wet, slippery conditions, making it easier to grip objects!
