Nowadays, it’s really easy to simply accept that things work, rather than wondering how exactly they do. Technology is advancing at an incredible rate, and it’s impossible to comprehend it all. Plus, there are still so many things that scientists haven’t figured out yet. Why exactly do humans dream? What happens when we die? And are we really alone in the universe?
Being curious about the world and what’s beyond is a wonderful thing. And if you want to finally understand some things that researchers have found answers for, you’ve come to the right place. The How Everything Works Instagram page has shared 153 posts and amassed over 239K followers. So join us on this journey to learn new things, and don’t hesitate to seek out even more information that you’re curious about after reading this article!
I wish this existed here in Canada. I live in an 1892 Victorian in a neighbourhood with condo towers popping up like toadstools.

While an interesting read, this one sounds more like an interesting coincidence that you could think of in that way. The 52 card French pack is not the "original" deck of cards, it is one of many variations which were in use, and just become the most common. There were variations with more and less cards, more than 2 colours etc that would not fit in with this calender theory
We all know that it’s a great thing to ask questions. We should never stop learning about the world around us, and there are infinite things to wonder about! But if you’re wondering why we, and especially children, should care about how things work at all, The Curiosity Approach has shared a few reasons on their site.
First, they note that being curious is great for brain development. When kids start to wonder about things, their brains actually produce dopamine. And this warm, pleasant feeling makes us want to seek out more and more information! It literally feels good to learn new things.
Being curious is also a wonderful way to develop new skills, which can be incredibly useful in the long run. Children are naturally curious about anything and everything, and it’s best for us to let them explore and learn things on their own, rather than assuming we know best and filling their heads with our “adult perspectives.” Being full of wonder is a blessing, and it can lead to understanding so much more about the world we live in.
From an evolutionary perspective, wondering about the world around us is actually a survival skill. Nowadays, we have so much information about what things pose risks for us, but that doesn't mean we should simply ignore our instincts. If you start to feel uneasy or believe that you sense danger, don’t ignore that feeling. Allow your curiosity to inform your choices; it might even save your life!
Komodo Dragons are so cool, would love to see one in the wild.
Wondering about things and people is also necessary for socialization. How would we ever make friends if we weren’t willing to strike up a conversation with a stranger or ask a colleague how their weekend was? We should be curious not only about the world and how things work, but also about one another!

According to Dalia Molokhia at Harvard Business Publishing, curiosity is also an incredibly important tool to utilize in the workplace. She notes that it’s impossible to know everything and have all the answers, even if you’re in charge of a team. But being willing to investigate, seek out new information and try new approaches is necessary for success.
Pandas, if a plant of mine turned bright red what does it mean?
The double rainbow shown at the end of the Bluey episode "Rain" did not have the colours in the secondary bow reversed. This annoyed me an inordinate amount.
So how can we develop our curiosity? Molokhia recommends applying a beginner’s mind to your work. Try to look at everything with a fresh set of eyes, and be eager to ask questions, listen to others and observe whatever you can. And don’t be afraid to try new things! Be open-minded to suggestions from other team members, and never assume that you know best. The world is constantly evolving, so our mindsets should too.

whether the peak is a solid gold.. or granite that coated with gold or else.. is just some speculation.. There are no fact supporting any theory
Is it true that drinking salt water makes you go insane? Sure I heard this several times as a child.
And be careful with your skin, people. I had to have a melanoma removed. Thankfully, it was still contained in one place, but someone I know is in hospital with a nasty form of bone cancer, from à melanoma that went ignored long enough to send métastases else where. Have à dermatologist look you over every year, so anything that doesn't look right can be dealt with in time.
And I thought the answer to life, the universe and everything was 42
Am I happy when my a**e explodes after eating spicy food?
By this definition, New Zealand, the last visible part of Zealandia, is also a continent. But Europe and Asia are not. 600px-Zeal...907ade.jpg

It's awful what the meat industry does to animals . . .
It took less than 10 seconds to disprove this (win11). Is it too much to ask for fact checking in lists of facts?
Billions of people have slept for cumulative billions of years fine I don't need a vague poster to show me how to lie down
Black coffee, or any coffee, contains caffeine. Caffeine is in some otc pain meds to help them work.

I worked for a firm that was part of Hoffman la Roche that sold pigments to add to chicken feed. They had color chips for buyers to choose what color they wanted the egg yolk from their chickens. It is as all betacarotene based.
It is said that you should wait 30 minutes after eating until brushing your teeth.
This nonsense about flushing your body systems has got to stop. You can flush an ear canal, but that's about it. The digestive system doesn't hang on to stuff (except sometimes in the appendix), and the only way things like nutrients are saved and stored is through the bloodstream. Your organs are fed and serviced by blood and lymph. There is nothing you can ingest that will travel to your organs and clean them or rinse them or whatever. Any "toxins" you may be harboring can exit one of 2 ways ONLY: 1) out the digestive system as feces - UNALTERED, meaning it didn't interact with your body and is leaving the same way it arrived; 2) filtered by the kidney and sent out in urine. Secretion thru sweat is a myth, too. The infinitessimally small amount of anything that can exit the skin is not worth mentioning.
There's a quite a lot of BS and "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge" in this list.
