@TidyguyKC Yep It's sold at many grocery stores. It tastes best between spring and early summer 🤤

[𝑨𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒏 @AileenParrk]

have you ever heard of this fruit?

this is "chamoe", also known as the korean melon.

this little yellow fruit actually came to korea from japan in the 1950s. it used to be popular in japan too, but as the country shifted its focus toward growing western-style melons, it slowly disappeared from everyday life.

today, korea is basically the only place where people still enjoy chamoe as a daily seasonal fruit.

the white flesh has a texture somewhere between a pear and a melon, with a clean sweetness and a refreshing hint of cucumber-like freshness.

but the real flavor bomb is the center part mixed with the seeds. that’s where chamoe gets its unique, rich sweetness.

this flavor has been used in korean desserts and sauces for decades. back when melons were expensive, people used chamoe to recreate that “melon” flavor.

even one of korea’s most iconic ice creams, 'melona', is actually inspired by chamoe’s flavor.

a tiny yellow fruit that quietly became a part of korean summer culture.🍈

@_NelsonNosa Physical chemistry matters, but if you're choosing a lifelong partner, pay attention to how much they truly care about you.

@TidyguyKC So many people get so hung up on their introverted nature that they find having a conversation difficult. They really need to realize that people don't pay as much attention to them as they think.

[𝑨𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒏 @AileenParrk]

5 psychology tricks people with great conversation skills use

1. Make you tell stories, not just answer questions.

instead of asking questions that end with "yes" or "no," they ask about your experiences.
that's how conversations stop feeling like job interviews.

2. Reflect what you said.

they'll summarize your point or put your thoughts into words.
it's a subtle way of saying, "i'm actually listening."
and people love feeling understood.

3. Empathy comes before advice.

most people don't want solutions right away.
they just want someone to get how they feel.
save the advice for later.
validation first.

4. Not afraid of silence.

a few seconds of silence isn't awkward.
it's just your brain catching up.
people who rush to fill every pause usually end up making the conversation feel more forced.

5. they don't make everything about themselves.

everyone has met someone who somehow turns every conversation back to themselves.
the best conversationalists do the opposite.
they ask, they listen, and they make you want to keep talking.
lowkey, that's one of the fastest ways to become instantly likable.

people rarely remember the smartest person in the room.
they remember the person who made them feel heard.

This meme reduces women to people who can make easy money just by taking their clothes off.

It's true that industries built around sex tend to favor women more.

But people also need to recognize that the overwhelming majority of those industries exist because they're created and funded by male demand.

From a psychological perspective, men generally:

1) Have a stronger evolutionary drive for sexual variety.
2) Respond more strongly to visual sexual stimuli.
3) Tend to have higher sex drives due to the influence of testosterone.

Where demand exists, supply follows.

Blaming the suppliers while ignoring the consumers misses half the picture.
