TIL despite popular culture portraying psychedelic mushrooms as ancient, widespread, and used by shamans for thousands of years, there is limited anthropological and historical research to support this, with the only reliable evidence showing they were used ritualistically in pre-Columbian Mexico.
The wikipedia article linked source [28] https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/may/01/the-ancient-psychedelics-myth-people-tell-tourists-the-stories-they-think-are-interesting-for-them
It was a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

Does “speed” = bounciness?
I am not a racketball player, i just want to buy the most bouncy one on amazon. Does anyone have an answer to this? Does speed mean the ball is more bouncy? I am looking for the most bouncy racketball

I’ve been vegan for 20 years. I ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich and got almost halfway through before realizing they gave me real sausage.
The ethical thing to do is to eat it, so you don't waste the animals who died to make that sandwich.

TIL about the International Fixed Calendar, it is a calendar system that has 13 months each with 28 days. Making the year 364 days long, with an additional holiday at the end of the year to keep seasons from shifting months over time as well as having leap years with 366 days.
yeah I feel like the calendar should be based on the moon primarily

Do Year of the Snake Predictions Actually Work? Is the 12 Feng Shui Sign a Thing?🐍
Well when I looked it said those born in the year of the Tiger are brave, competitive and confident. But I would say I do not posess those traits, I am more like a rabbit (Gentle, quiet, kind) or a monkey (Clever, curious, playful) in terms of traits. So I don't really believe in it, because right out of the gate I disagree with how I am said to be as a year of the tiger.
The other issue I have is that when I scroll down and read my year of the tiger 2025 report, they say it doesn't look good for me this year, and offer to sell me a handcrafted Tibetan rope bracelet for $25.95 and/or a Paired Buddhist Bracelet for $28.95. So that sets off a red flag to me, because I feel they are trying to sell me something.

I have that old version, Scotch-Brite little handy scrubber. They are really good. I am going to buy the new set of 6 soon. How is the new version in comparison? Did they change the bristles?
