[RERUN VALENTINE'S DAY] What is polyamory ? Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

What is polyamory ?

Polyamory means having romantic or sexual relationships with more than one partner. It differs from the traditional model where two partners have an exclusive relationship and are faithful to one another. However, an important criteria is that all partners involved give their consent to these open relationships.

It’s like swinging? It’s like polygamy ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is sneating? Feb 15, 2022

Show notes

What is sneating?

Pretty much every romantic relationship starts out with a first date, whether it's online, on an outdoor walk, over drinks or at a restaurant. But it turns out when some people choose the latter option, they may have a hidden agenda. Sneating is a dubious new dating trend, whereby a person accepts a restaurant date with the sole intention of dining out on someone else’s dime. It's a contraction of the words "sneaky" and "eating", so the meaning is pretty obvious. You go on the date, eat for free and then never contact the person who footed the restaurant bill.

How did this become a thing? Why do that though? Sneating is still a little wrong though isn't it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is Valentine's Day? Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

What is Valentine's Day?

This annual celebration of love and passion needs no introduction. Among those who partake in Valentine's Day, you’ve got those who go all out every year, never failing to honour the occasion and make sure everyone knows about it. Then there are others who prefer a quiet romantic night in with their partner.

At the other end of the scale, some people sulk instead, telling anyone who’ll listen just how pointless or old-fashioned the whole thing is. In modern times, Valentine’s Day is certainly a highly commercialised holiday, but believe it or not, its origins go back nearly 2000 years and are influenced by Pagan and Christian rituals.

So who is this Saint Valentine anyway? Wait a minute, he was executed and now he's celebrated? How did the Valentine's Day traditions evolve from then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

[RERUN VALENTINE'S DAY] What is Tinder? Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

What is Tinder?

Since launching in the US in 2012, there’s no doubting Tinder has certainly revolutionized dating and relationships. According to Business of Apps, it has over 75 million monthly active users, making it the most used dating app worldwide.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Tinder, it’s just like any online dating platform in that you enter your personal details, orientation and a short bio, upload a few pics, and, this part is important, share your location.

After all, the particular appeal of Tinder is its geolocation system, which lets you connect with and meet people nearby. It quickly became synonymous with swiping: right to like or left to pass. Once you’ve matched with another user, you can exchange private messages.

Sounds simple enough! So what are the latest developments in the world of Tinder? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

[RERUN] What is CBD? Feb 13, 2022

Show notes

What is CBD?

CBD is short for Cannabidiol, which is one of the chemical components found in cannabis. Not being psychoactive, CBD is legal in many countries. But it’s also claimed that CBD has several health benefits. That’s why demand has been growing around the world for a few years now.

Cannabis is illegal in most countries, mainly because it contains the psychoactive chemical Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC for short. But cannabis also contains CBD, which has an almost identical structure to THC, just without causing a high. Furthermore, the greater the quantity of CBD in cannabis, the lower the effect of THC on the brain. That’s because it doesn’t directly trigger the cannabinoid receptors found in our bodies.

If it doesn’t give you a high, I guess not a lot of people are interested in it… So what’s the fuss about CBD then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is a tumour? Feb 12, 2022

Show notes

What is a tumour?

The word tumour comes directly from the Latin word for “swelling”. A tumour appears when a group of cells multiply and form a mass. Even though some tumours are malignant, or cancerous, most are actually benign, or non-cancerous. When normal cells multiply and remain localized, there’s nothing to worry about. These can be, for example, moles or warts.

Can benign tumours develop anywhere in the body? What about malignant ones? How do you diagnose a malignant tumour? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is a blockbuster?

A lot of words have become so common in everyday language that we don’t even give any thought to where they came from and what they originally meant.

One such word is blockbuster; a term mostly associated with the kind of eagerly-awaited films we all go to see at the cinema. But it’s also used in other areas, such as sporting events, video games or even pharmaceutical products.

So where did the word come from and how did it end up being used to describe films? Which films were the first blockbusters then? What are the main ingredients of a blockbuster? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
