Facebook, the platform of future retirees?● Stop giving salt to the Chinese! ● An unprecedented revolution in archeology ● A large bubble barrier saves the planet

• Facebook, the platform of future retirees? Nobody’s complaining about Mark Zuckerberg, but it seems Facebook isn’t doing well either. I’m talking statistics that between 2014 and today, the number of young people creating a Facebook account has decreased by about 50%. On the one hand, it can be said that this is good. But when you look at which platforms the youth, the hope of the country, are migrating to, it is as if you are swallowing words. TikTok overcomes all barriers and is in the top of preferences. Teenagers still prefer YouTube, Twitch or Reddit, while teenage girls are obsessed with Instagram, Snapchat and more. As it turns out, only about 32% of teenagers today still use Facebook, which means it will soon become a kind of retirement club. And someone says that time does not pass quickly! Good thing we found out how these buttons work, people switch to other platforms, make you feel old. On the other hand, it can be a good thing. We’re also quieter, those with Facebook, no one makes noise anymore, no one hits the ball at the windows anymore, and you no longer have to go out with a virtual basin of water to throw at them when they’re playing outside your window . Cursed children. You have no peace with this, sir!

• Stop giving salt to the Chinese! Specialized magazine BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health tells us a telling fact. Namely, if all Chinese reduced their daily salt intake by just one gram, by 2030 more than 4 million lives would be saved and the number of heart attacks would decrease by almost 9 million. These people say that in China salt is consumed cheerfully. About 11 grams/day per head of feed cow. And this means that about 40% of annual deaths are caused by cardiovascular diseases. The experts who signed the study also say that the ideal amount of salt would be about 3.2 grams per day. Since we know the Chinese, this will not be a problem. We know that if they set their mind to something, they don’t give up until they succeed. And if someone more disobedient growls, he puts his head in his mouth so that it is not visible. The party knows what it is doing. I don’t understand why people stopped studying only China. what for We don’t eat salty? Look, it would be very interesting to investigate the impact on the health of the population of consuming “water, straw and milk” + fresh air for breakfast and dinner. Even. Digressing, but you can’t help but ask… do you know what the party is doing here?

• A revolution in archeology that has never happened before. The study, co-authored by researchers from the University of Münster and Tel Aviv University, was published in the prestigious journal Antiquity, tells us how archaeologists and specialists in interdisciplinary research managed to find out exactly when an ancient settlement in Israel was destroyed. It is about Tell Iẓṭabba, a Seleucid city destroyed in 107 BC. during the uprisings led by the Hasmonean dynasty. For those who don’t know, this was a Jewish dynasty that ended in a struggle with the Seleucids. Well, we are interested in what demonstrative facts the experts brought, how they set the date when the disaster happened with such precision. When you learn that the year of the conflict was determined by the coins of that period, you are simply amazed. Then with the help of inscriptions. That’s right! How, they discovered hot water, which has been done since the invention of archeology. Actually, the whole essence of archeology is based on this. On the interpretation of available data. But the matter does not end there. Specialists from interdisciplinary research analyzed the bones of birds and snails, which are the remains of the last meals. Based on these studies, it turned out that the destruction of the city took place in the spring. We bypass the fact that it was also suggested in the inscriptions. How, this is only a confirmation. But the real discovery is that the analyzes were carried out on organic matter, the very species that have been dated and observed for as long as carbon 14 dating has existed. Reading such studies from around the world, you can’t help but you ask: what did they end up discovering, apart from the fact that they can mark some articles for evaluation in such journals?

• A large bubble barrier saves the planet. Big bubble barrier! Yes, that’s exactly what he calls it a strange project of some Dutch people, who believed they could use the principle of air bubbles in water to rid rivers of microplastic waste. Those of you who have been in a jacuzzi probably immediately understood how it is, for others we draw from words: at the bottom of the bathtub, sorry, a river, there is a diagonally laid pipe through which air is pumped; the pipe is perforated, so the air comes out in the form of a “curtain” of bubbles that capture and direct microplastics into a special pool. A regular filter captures less than 0.5% of microplastics, but this Bubble Barrier has a theoretical efficiency of 90%. So either we have an interesting solution to the tons of PET in the country’s rivers or we use it for a new bank with Bula. Until we know for sure if this works or not, please be patient and keep editing!
