‍The term “cult food” comes up a lot in discussions of niche eating habits. It’s used to describe foods that are so specific to a certain culture or region that most people don’t even know they exist unless they grow up in that area or have friends from there. Vegemite is one such food. The salty, brown spread has long been an iconic part of the Australian diet thanks to its place as a staple food during World War I and II when other imported sources of fat were scarce. So how does vegemite taste? Keep reading for more information…

Vice presidents get a lot of privileges, such as their own personal staff and residence. But do vice presidents get secret service for life? The answer is…not exactly. Vice presidents do not receive Secret Service protection for life, but they can have it if they want to. In the event that the vice president takes over as president due to the resignation, impeachment, death, or inability of the president to fulfill his duties, then he does get secret service protection for life.  So while you won’t be getting secret service protection yourself as a vice president unless you become POTUS…

In a typical road car, the clutch is used to disconnect the engine from the transmission. When you are ready for acceleration, you press the clutch pedal and then put your car into first gear. The clutch re-engages once you’ve reached your desired speed. F1 cars don’t have a traditional manual transmission like in road cars. Instead, they have what is known as an “automatic hybrid transmission”. This means that there is no clutch pedal or manual gear stick inside the F1 car. Instead, drivers operate an automatic gearbox that shifts gears automatically based on information received from sensors and…

‍If you’ve ever experienced nightmares on a regular basis, then you’re not alone. A nightmare is a type of dream that is usually disturbing and frightening. They are often brief, but they can feel as if they last forever. Nightmares tend to occur during the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of your sleep cycle when brain activity is highest. Almost everyone has occasional nightmares from time to time; it’s when these dreams recur almost every night that they become concerning. In this article, we explain why you have nightmares every night and what you can do about it. Why Do…

Anytime you buy food that comes in a can, jar, or plastic pouch, there’s some risk of spoilage. That’s because these types of packaging can’t be sealed airtight like a glass or metal jar. Instead, they have one of several different forms of seals to help reduce the risk of spoilage and increase shelf life. These include vacuum sealing, nitrogen packing, and ethylene oxide as a secondary additive for extending shelf life even further. There are plenty of reasons why you might have opened a jar or can and then not used it for quite some time. Perhaps you were…

You can take Imodium and Pepto together. Both of these over-the-counter products are safe to use at the same time. However, if you have specific concerns about mixing these two supplements together, consult with your doctor or pharmacist first before taking them at the same time. Imodium (also known as loperamide) is an anti-diarrhea medication that slows down the movement of food through your digestive tract and helps relieve symptoms of diarrhea. Pepto is a type of peptide that is used as a self-treatment for mild cases of heartburn, indigestion, and nausea. It does not reduce the frequency of stomach…

Animal cells are different from plant cells in many ways. While both animal and plant cells are made of the same fundamental building blocks, their cell walls serve very different functions. While plants have strong cell walls to support them and prevent them from bursting when they grow too large, animal cells have much weaker cell walls because they need to be able to move and change shape frequently. Moreover, unlike plants, which have rigid cell walls that give them strength but make it difficult for them to grow or recover after being wounded, animal cells need the ability to…

In the world of acting, age is just a number. Whether you’re in your twenties or over the hill at 70, it doesn’t matter — as long as you can convincingly play a role. However, there is one thing that all actors have in common: youth. The acting world has always been dominated by younger people, and the same goes for the Oscars. Read on to find out more about who is the youngest person to win an Oscar. How old was Sean Connery when he won an Oscar? Who Is The Youngest Person To Win An Oscar? At the…

The world is full of noisy, jarring alarms. And yet, no matter how loud your alarm is, there’s a good chance you won’t wake up to it. Most people just don’t respond well to the standard alarm clock. Instead of jumping out of bed and starting their day, most people end up hitting the snooze button until they fall asleep again. That’s why so many people are turning to natural alarms to reset their circadian rhythms and help them wake up in the morning. These alarms are weird because they involve things like sunlight, sprouting plants, or sounds that mimic…
