📌 Find something new and exciting to try today, whether it’s a new recipe, a hobby, or a fun fact
Trying something new adds a bit of fun and variety to the day, breaking the monotony and making the day more enjoyable. It nudges your mind to step out of its routine and explore something new. This could be a great way to foster a sense of curiosity and adventure in your daily life.
Now, let’s get started…
The Most Bizarre Room Service Orders
While most of us are familiar with ordering the usual burger or grilled cheese, some hotel guests clearly took their room service game to a whole new level.
For example, one hotel guest decided they needed two kilos of bananas delivered to their room—yes, two full kilos! And if you thought that was odd, another guest insisted on receiving toast, but not just any toast—burnt toast. But it doesn’t stop there. One particularly health-conscious parent ordered a bathtub full of Evian water for their child, ensuring their little one was bathed in only the purest H2O. Other guests have gone all out with requests like fresh goat’s milk or even a hot dog made entirely from caviar.
Some hotels have even started to embrace some of these quirky demands. For instance, if you’re staying at the Milestone Hotel in London, you can arrange for a string trio or a solo harpist from the London Philharmonic to perform in your suite (because who doesn’t need live classical music while they eat room service?).
Over at the Park Lane Hotel in New York, guests can dial 5 for their very own "caviar hotline," and in Japan’s W Hotel in Osaka, the "whatever/whenever" service will cater to, well, pretty much anything you can imagine.
And it’s not just humans getting the VIP treatment. The Sentinel Hotel in Portland offers a Very Important Pets (VIP) service, which provides everything from grooming to acupuncture for your stressed-out pooch. Apparently, pet pampering has become a big deal across the hospitality industry. (More)
The Sure Shot Way To Get Your Soulmate
The "birth order dating theory" is a fun concept that's been floating around on TikTok, and it might just add a new dimension to how you think about dating. You’re probably already aware of how things like looks, personality, and even zodiac signs can influence your choice of a partner. But have you ever considered that the order in which someone is born—whether they’re the oldest, middle, youngest, or an only child—could also impact compatibility?
Here’s how it works: according to this theory, your birth order shapes your personality in specific ways, which in turn can affect how you relate to a partner.
Jesse Kahn, a sex therapist, explains that firstborns tend to be more responsible and achievement-oriented. Middle children, on the other hand, are often the peacekeepers and more adaptable, while the youngest are usually known for being outgoing, rebellious, and a bit of an adventurer. Interesting, right?
Even within the birth order theory, there are sub-narratives, like how first daughters might have unique experiences compared to their siblings. So, gender and family dynamics also come into play here.
As for compatibility, Dr. Jen Hartstein, a psychologist, suggests that pairings like firstborns with lastborns are often a great match because they balance each other out. Firstborns tend to be natural caregivers who like to be in control, while lastborns are more used to being cared for, so the dynamic works nicely. Middle children are also easygoing and can mesh well with just about anyone, including those more intense firstborns.
But it’s not all smooth sailing. Some birth order combinations might not work as well. For example, two firstborns could clash because they’re both used to being in charge, leading to power struggles. Similarly, the two youngest children might have trouble deciding who takes the lead, causing a bit of chaos. (More)
Ever Wondered Why You Can’t Tickle Yourself?
Did you know that the human body is packed with millions of touch receptors? These tiny sensors activate whenever someone—or something—touches your skin, sending signals straight to your brain. Your brain then processes these signals, and that's how you experience different sensations—tickling included!
If you’ve ever been tickled, you know how intense and uncontrollable the laughter and squirming can be. But here's the thing: have you ever tried to tickle yourself?
It doesn’t quite work, does it? That’s because our brains are wired in a way that makes self-tickling nearly impossible. And the reason behind it is pretty mind-blowing.
You see, our bodies have this incredible "comparator mechanism" that helps the brain distinguish between self-touch and the touch of others. Think about the difference in sensation when a professional masseur works on your muscles versus when you try to massage yourself. It’s just not the same!
This is actually one of the ways babies begin to figure out where their bodies end and their parents’ bodies begin. (More)
