Really difficult on BP - the place where you can speak your mind as long as you are politically correct and follow the party line, but foolish if you vary from the acceptable viewpoint. There are some other countries where you cannot voice an opinion apart from the party line for fear of being imprisoned and not merely mocked. Guess we're lucky, but worried there will soon be harsher repercussions coming to the US as well.

Yup. What’s worse is that the Rs are still following this bully, scam artist, liar, misogynist, racist. Take a look at all the vendors (small businesses included) that he put out of business because he didn’t want to pay. His strategy is to take businesses to court…. they can’t afford and they fold. He should not ever be able to run for public office again. He has done enuf damage to this country and was well on his way to further damage our environment. Putin should give him citizenship. He should take it or end up in an orange jumpsuit.

I agree that Bored Panda needs to work on this system and have more active monitoring on who gets banned, and for what. However, if you're looking for Trump fans, BP isn't the place you'll find them. The general consensus is that Trump is a lying, misogynistic con man, who is truly a national embarrassment at best, and a national danger, at worst. And those who believe that are 100% correct.

Unrelated to apples, but the same applies to all seeds (pits) of the genus "prunus" (cherries, plums, peaches, almonds). The almond (specifically, the sweet almond), which contains minute traces of cyanide, is the only edible seed in the entire genus. The bitter almond, which looks virtually identical, is deadly. Eating 10 bitter almonds is lethal to a child.

Pineapple actually tries to eat you while you eat it.

Bromelain extract is a mixture of protein-digesting (proteolytic) enzymes and several other substances in smaller quantities.

The burning you feel when eating pineapple is its liquids trying to digest you. That's also the reason for the lingering feeling after eating it.

Can you believe if a person who can completely see is blind almost 40 mins to an hour per day? This phenomenon is called Saccadic Masking and also known as (visual) Saccadic suppression. It is a visual illusion where the brain selectively blocks visual processing during our eye movements.

A saccade is a quick, simultaneous movement of both eyes between two or more phases of fixation points in the same direction. Humans become effectively blind during a saccade.

Explanation: In fall, when the clocks are set back an hour, the switch happens at 2am.
