Weekly Web Wonders
In today’s fast-paced digital world, it’s easy to get lost in the vast expanse of the internet. That’s why we’re here to help you cut through the noise and bring you the best of the best from around the web.
Morning Perks
Imagine sipping your morning espresso from a cup that’s almost too good to be true. A West Hollywood coffee shop is taking the traditional coffee experience to the next level by serving espresso in edible cups that resemble waffle cones lined with chocolate. It’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a luxurious breakfast.
The Paradox of Dieting
There’s a fascinating contradiction in our society, particularly among women: we strive for thinness, yet no one wants to be seen as “that person” on a diet. A recent article from New York magazine highlights the absurdity of hiding our healthy habits, suggesting that it’s time to be more open about the effort it takes to live a healthy lifestyle.
Retro Fitness Fails
Take a step back in time and laugh at the absurdity of a 1960s exercise manual. With moves like the “Cheek Reducer” and “Flutter Kick,” it’s clear that our understanding of exercise physiology has come a long way. This retro lookback serves as a reminder that, despite our progress, there’s still room for improvement – and a healthy dose of humor.
The Pie Supper Revival
Tired of swiping through dating apps? Perhaps it’s time to take a cue from the past. In the early 20th century, pie suppers were a popular dating ritual where women would bake pies and men would bid on them to raise money for local schools. The winning bidder got to share a slice with the baker. While there are certainly sexist undertones to this tradition, it’s an interesting commentary on the importance of shared values in relationships – like a love for pumpkin pie.
The Cognitive Benefits of Your Job
Ever wonder how your chosen profession will impact your cognitive abilities later in life? A recent study suggests that high-skilled jobs may lead to better memory recall and clearer thinking in older age. However, the difference is relatively small compared to lifestyle changes like refraining from excessive drinking and smoking. So, no need to rush into a new career just yet – but it’s certainly food for thought.
