We’ve arrived at the gateway to the weekend - cheers to making it through!
But before we start, here’s a lil fun task for you:
📌 Write down 3 things you’re grateful for this week. Let’s end the week on a high note!
Now, let’s get started…
So, how did Google Maps kill 3 men?
Three men in India tragically lost their lives after Google Maps directed them onto an incomplete bridge over the Ramganga River. The bridge had been damaged by a flood months earlier and was still under construction. Traveling at night from Gurugram to Bareilly, the men didn’t notice the bridge was unfinished until it was too late, leading to a fatal fall.
What makes this even more disturbing is the lack of warning signs or barriers. Google Maps showed the bridge as complete, which the victims’ families are understandably upset about. They’re questioning why the area wasn’t secured and blaming Google for not updating their maps.
This isn’t the first time GPS navigation has been linked to a deadly accident. Last year, a family sued Google after a driver in North Carolina was directed onto a collapsed bridge, resulting in a fatal crash.
Now, people are asking whether Google should be held accountable for these accidents or if it’s the authorities’ responsibility to keep roads safe. Google has expressed sympathy and is working with authorities on the investigation.
But it raises a bigger question: How reliable are these navigation systems, especially when they could lead you into dangerous situations?
While talking about missing flags, while on a first date, you should always look for this red flag
So, the internet has spoken, and experts (aka people like you and me) are sharing their top first date red flags.
One person said, "He tried to change my order with the waitress because I didn’t pick his suggestion." Yikes.
Another recalled, “He complimented my hair... then buried his nose in it for five minutes.” Um, awkward!
Other red flags? Talking only about exes, staring at their phone the entire time, and being rude to waiters. Basically, if your date pulls any of this, just RUN!
Oh, and Big Pharma doesn't want you to know these things
Let’s talk about something a bit controversial today - straight from the mouth of a former pharmacist who’s had enough of the Big Pharma narrative. This isn’t your typical health advice, so buckle up and listen in.
First up, eggs don’t raise your cholesterol - that’s right! Your body actually regulates cholesterol on its own, and eggs? They’re not the villains they’ve been made out to be. The whole “eggs are bad for your heart” idea? It’s outdated. So, go ahead and enjoy that omelette guilt-free!
Next, heart disease isn’t just about cholesterol. The real players? Blood sugar, inflammation, and carbs. Yup, it’s not just about what you’re eating in terms of fats; it’s how your body reacts to sugar and inflammation that really matters. So, the next time someone tells you to fear fats but not sugar, you’ll know better.
And then there’s the infamous food pyramid - you know, the one that’s been pushed on us for decades? Turns out, it’s upside down. Instead of loading up on carbs, it’s time to ditch them and focus on whole foods and protein. That’s the real foundation of a healthy diet, not those starchy grains they tell us to fill our plates with.
Now, if you’re struggling with Type 2 diabetes, here’s a game-changer: it’s reversible with diet and exercise. That’s right. You don’t have to live with it forever. Adjust your diet, get moving, and you can see some incredible changes.
And finally, here’s something that might surprise you: exercise beats antidepressants. Studies have shown that physical activity is 1.5 times more effective than antidepressants for improving mental health. So, before you pop that pill, consider going for a run or hitting the gym. The results might surprise you.
