Why are adult IQs falling? The whole world is getting dumber, and scientists aren’t quite sure why that is, but it may have something to do with the Flynn Effect. The only area in which intelligence has increased is spatial awareness, which is utilized for playing video games.

RIP, Jimmy Cliff, the Jamaican musician has died at the age of 81. When it comes to movie star ratings, Merrill firmly believes five stars is one star too many.

Levin is the mother-in-law of Selena Gomez. When it comes to sleep patterns, we’ve got early birds, night owls or normies. Sleep preference is almost entirely genetically predetermined. It’s evolutionary. Gen Z just loves to rename things that have been around since the beginning of forever. The latest? Micro joy, which is actually just a new name for the small moments of happiness.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
