    Jun 20 2026
    Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, with an average of 98 million cups consumed in the UK every day, according to the British Coffee Association. In moderation, there are plenty of benefits to be gained from drinking coffee, but there can also be some negative side effects, in particular due to its caffeine content. Decaf is an alternative, but is it really healthier? Our bodies don’t all process caffeine in the same way. It also depends on our sleep quality and the dose of caffeine. What effects can caffeine have on our bodies? How is decaf actually produced? What about the benefits of drinking coffee? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Why do our friendships last seven years?

    Why do our friendships last seven years?
    Jun 19 2026
    We can all picture someone. A friend who once meant a lot. The person you could call anytime, the one you’d lose track of time with. Maybe they’re still in your life. Or maybe they’re not. And if they aren’t… does that automatically mean something went wrong? Friendships aren’t fixed, they shift and change, just like we do. How long does it actually take to become friends? So where does this seven-year idea come from? So what happens after seven years? But should we take these numbers literally? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Jun 18 2026
    If you go back to early social media days, it was somewhat rare. But nowadays the practice of sadfishing is widespread, among celebs, influencer wannabes and average Joes alike. Since the advent of social media, we’ve gotten used to seeing highlight reels of people’s lives on our newsfeeds.
