when I was a kid i used to think this was the best pop song ever made. then i grew up and matured and realised that this is absolutely the best pop song ever made.
she’s so smart for that because emilia perez was controversial but karla was front and center taking every hit while selena sat and looked pretty while being apart of something so acclaimed😭
Your body loses one to two pounds of water every night just from breathing and sweating in your sleep. By morning, you're already mildly dehydrated. Any water on an empty stomach feels like relief.
Hot water on an empty stomach absorbs fast because nothing else is competing for it. Within fifteen to thirty minutes, most of it has already moved through your stomach and into the small intestine, where the actual hydration happens.
The popular reasons hot water feels so good are mostly wrong, though. Your liver and kidneys do all the detoxing in your body, and they couldn't care less what temperature your water is. And the "hot water boosts metabolism" claim is actually backwards.
A 2003 study at a Berlin hospital had healthy people drink half a liter of water and measured their calorie burn afterwards. It jumped 30% and stayed elevated for about an hour. Almost half of that calorie burn came from the body warming the water up to body temperature. If the water is already hot when it goes in, your body skips that work. You actually get a smaller calorie burn from hot water than cold. Across the day, two liters of water adds about 95 calories of extra burn either way. About a banana's worth.
What hot water does well is wake up your gut. There's a reflex in your body where, whenever your stomach stretches with food or liquid, your colon starts moving things along. This reflex is strongest in the morning. Researchers in 2019 compared three temperatures of water (ice cold, body temperature, and hot) and found the warmer two caused stronger stomach contractions than the cold one. So hot water on an empty stomach lands at exactly the time and temperature your gut responds best to. This is why people who drink it often head to the bathroom soon after.
There's also the warmth itself. A warm liquid in your throat and stomach causes the small blood vessels there to relax and widen, kind of like stepping into a hot shower on a cold day. The bloated, sluggish morning sensation starts lifting because of this relaxation effect.
So when she says "y'all weren't lying," what she's feeling is rehydration, a triggered bathroom reflex, and a warm internal hug to the gut, all hitting in the same minute. The warmth just turns up the volume on a response your gut would have anyway.
The research behind this is wild. Your kitchen sponge has the same density of bacteria as human stool. German scientists found 54 billion bacterial cells per cubic centimeter inside used sponges in 2017. Yours is sitting right next to your sink.
Sponges are the perfect home for bacteria. They are wet, warm, full of food bits, and never fully dry between washes. Across all 14 sponges, the team found 362 different types of bacteria. The most common species include strains that can make people sick.
In 2011, the public health group NSF International swabbed 30 things in 22 American homes. The dirtiest object in the entire house was the kitchen sponge. It was dirtier than the toilet seat. 75% of the sponges tested positive for the kind of bacteria that includes Salmonella and E. coli.
Microwaving does not clean the sponge. The 2017 study found microwaved sponges had higher amounts of the smelliest, most harmful bacteria. Heat kills the weak strains. The strong ones survive and refill the sponge with no competition for space.
A 2021 Norwegian study compared kitchen sponges to dish brushes. In brushes, Salmonella was wiped out within three days because the bristles dry out between uses. In sponges, bacteria climbed to about a billion cells per sponge. The lead researcher told CNN that one kitchen sponge can hold more bacteria than there are people on Earth.
Three things actually work. Switch to a dish brush, because brushes dry fully between uses while sponges stay wet for hours. Replace your sponge every one to two weeks. Never leave it sitting wet in the sink. Norway and Denmark already do this by default, but most other countries don't.
The detergent is fine. Your sponge is the problem.
the fascinating part is, planetary consciousness is corroborated by decades of regression material. each planet in our solar system is not only alive, but fully conscious and intelligent, just like all the other celestial bodies in the universe.
planetary minds are non-egoic. they have no personality in the human sense, working as a unified field of individual consciousness streams.
that field is composed of 3 different types of consciousness:
• souls currently living as incarnated beings on said planet (yes, it means humans and animals are a part of the earth’s mind)
• the planet’s nature consciousness (every tree and every ocean. every single thing)
• souls whose natural states are so expanded and non-individualized that they function as stabilizers of planetary-scale awareness, rarely ever incarnating into physical bodies (they are the core of the mind itself)
the planetary mind upkeeps conditions for all Experience. it keeps our physical laws running smoothly and maintains energetic balance. it absorbs everything that happens on the planet as information, pattern, evolution of the field, including the pain and collective wounds of its children. it’s the glue that holds the system together!
the earth is alive and we are its beating heart. speak kind words to her whenever you can. she’s doing her best.
Mientras dormías anoche, completamente inmóvil en tu cama, nuestra galaxia se desplazó millones de kilómetros a través del cosmos. Te despertaste en la misma habitación, en el mismo planeta, pero inimaginablemente lejos de donde estabas la noche anterior.
La Vía Láctea no se desliza silenciosamente por el universo. Está corriendo a través del espacio a unos 600 kilómetros por segundo, llevando consigo miles de millones de estrellas, planetas y todo lo que hay en ellos en el viaje.
Es un buen recordatorio de que incluso cuando la vida parece inmóvil, siempre estás en movimiento.
“Jaded” por si já destrói o coração mas “Jaded” demo destrói a alma. Essa ponte é simplesmente uma das mais lindas da carreira da Miley Cyrus, a dor transcende e transforma.
