    Where does the myth of the Loch Ness Monster come from?
    Sep 15 2025
    Affectionately known as Nessie, the mythical Loch Ness Monster has been a source of fascination and terror for many centuries. Many sightings have been reported over the years, but no conclusive evidence of its existence has ever been unearthed. Still, there are many believers out there. In late August 2023, the largest Nessie hunt in 50 years took place, organised by the local Loch Ness Exploration research group and bringing together nearly 200 people from places as far afield as Australia, Japan and the USA. Where does belief in the Loch Ness Monster come from? Why are people still searching for Nessie to this day? Is there any possibility the monster could exist?

    How can I regain energy quickly?
    Sep 15 2025
    As the summer holiday season draws to a close, ask yourself this. Did you manage to get as much rest as you would have liked? A lot of people out there would say no. Perhaps their holiday wasn’t actually restful at all, or they didn’t even get a chance to go away. American internal medicine physician Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith has dedicated a lot of research towards the issue of chronic fatigue. In 2017, she released a book entitled “Sacred Rest”, which would go on to be a bestseller. She asserted that there are seven different types of rest that we need to fully recharge our batteries. What are the seven different types of rest? What are the tips to remember? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What are pick me boys?

    What are pick me boys?
    Sep 14 2025
    Self-deprecation can be an endearing trait in some people. After all, it’s important not to take oneself too seriously, isn’t it? But when pick me boys, the subject of today’s episode, talk badly about themselves, they do so in a manipulative way, in the hope that it will bring them closer to women they’re attracted to. The term “pick me boy” first emerged on social media in early 2021. According to an Urban Dictionary definition from user Shelmet101, it refers to: “A guy who uses self depreciation in a manipulative way so a girl will date him,” who “will say bad things about themselves to try to get the girl to oppose what they’ve said.” What kind of tactics do pick me boys use? Could you say that pick me boy behaviour is sexist? But are all pick me boys manipulative? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    What benefits can we get from journaling?
    Sep 14 2025
    According to a 2016 WHO study, 25% of the global population is likely to develop a mental disorder during their lifetime. But of course there are certain habits that we can adopt to diminish that risk, or treat the situation. These include getting counselling, regular physical activity and a proper sleep routine. Another beneficial habit is journaling, or "therapeutic writing”, as it’s also known. A Cambridge University study published in 2018 found that expressive writing about traumatic events increased physical and psychological well-being. What are the benefits? How can I get started? Which famous people are known to journal? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    After enjoying a period of relaxation during the summer, many of us return to studies or work with a desire to develop good habits and a better routine than the previous year.

Just like with New Year’s resolutions, we often stick to them to start with, but let them slip after a few weeks. Today we’re going to talk about a method which may well help you stay on track: the two-day rule. Is it really possible to adopt a good habit in just two days? How long does it take to establish a habit? Are there other tips for forming good habits? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What is fatphobia?

    What is fatphobia?
    Sep 13 2025
    Being overweight is a stigma. While around 13% of the world’s population are obese, they are largely absent from the public limelight and often find themselves the target of mockery or discrimination. Overweight people are humiliated and ostracised throughout their lives, having to put up with regular criticisms about their lifestyle and appearance. This is what’s known as fatphobia, a form of discrimination which can have a harmful effect on those on the receiving end. Fatphobia is often left out of discussions on the struggle against different forms of discrimination. But why are overweight people rejected to such an extent? But whose side are social media on?
