What is the snowball method of paying back debt? May 25, 2023

Show notes

The snowball method is based on the idea of paying off your smallest debt first, while making minimum payments on the rest.

Then, you take the money you were paying on that debt and apply it to the next smallest debt, and so on until you’re debt-free. This way, you create a snowball effect that builds momentum and motivation as you see your debts disappear one by one.

What are the advantages? What are the disadvantages? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is PimEyes, the powerful tool ending online anonymity? May 24, 2023

Show notes

Launched by a Polish startup in 2017, PimEyes is a powerful facial recognition software tool, which uses reverse image search technology. Just like with Google image search, users can submit an image of a person’s face and Pimeyes will find all images of that person online, providing links to the websites where they are located.

It can be helpful for locating images that are difficult to find elsewhere, but there are also a host of privacy concerns. Pimeyes has been labelled the “most disturbing website on the internet” and “a stalker’s dream”.

What is facial recognition? How does PimEyes work in practice? Why is this software problematic ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

What is Munchausen Syndrome? May 24, 2023

Show notes

If you have heard of Munchausen Syndrome before, it’s far more likely you’ve seen it represented in popular culture than in real life. Like a lot of psychological syndromes, it’s used as a dramatic device in many films and series, like Sharp Objects or The Politician to name just a couple.

The most recent example is The Act, which was created by Nick Antosca and Michelle Dean, and first appeared on Hulu in 2019. The series was inspired by a real-life case in the United States, and tells the story of a mother who convinces her daughter and the world that she suffers from leukemia, muscular dystrophy, and other disorders.

Why would anyone do something like that? Where does the Munchausen part come from? Why is this syndrome so prevalent in pop culture? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Is the fertility cliff real? May 23, 2023

Show notes

This concept first came about from a study done in 2004, however, they used data from French birth records from the 17th and 18th centuries, which is not really relevant to modern women as it was based on a population with very different living conditions, health care, nutrition, and life expectancy compared to modern women.

Why do our stomachs rumble? May 19, 2023

Show notes

It can be embarrassing when your stomach rumbles in public, but it’s a totally natural bodily function. The scientific name for those rumbles or growls is borborygmi, a term invented by the ancient Greeks. We tend to associate stomach rumbles with hunger, but that’s not totally true.

In reality, our stomachs rumble regularly, whether we’re hungry or not. It's just that when the stomach is empty, the noise becomes louder. That’s because when the stomach is full, its contents muffle the sounds.

What actually causes the rumblings? Can certain factors increase stomach rumbling? Should I be worried if the rumblings are intense? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
