Last year, one redditor asked a question that many have us have pondered at the urinal, when standing next to either a noticeably weak pee-er, or worse, the backsplash nightmare of the human firehose: “Why do people’s urine come out at different strengths?” Good question! Jamin Brahmbhatt,...
When life hits DEFCON 1, chances are, you’re sweating. Maybe you’re minutes away from a job interview at the tech startup you’ve always wanted to work for — the one where everyone rides mini-scooters and the fridge is always stocked with six different kinds of sparkling water. Or maybe...
You probably have a vague idea that your semen contains a few things besides sperm, but you might be shocked at the extent of that mysterious “other stuff” category. In fact, your special sauce contains a laundry list of ingredients, each with its own important function. The...
