‘In the end, it doesn’t even matter.’

A powerful earthquake hit Turkey and Greece on Friday, October 30. So far 26 people have lost their lives and thousands have been injured.

I came across this video of a live-streamer who was online, the moment earthquake hit and I can’t stop thinking about it.

It begins as a perfectly normal video of a streamer who is interacting with his audience and is charmingly smiling, and suddenly there is a look of pure shock and terror on his face. The screen starts shaking from the earthquake and he runs away screaming for his life.

Have a look!

One of the favorite unanswered questions of all time.

Well, I think the answer is, since the beginning. While historians, scholars, anthropologists, and biologists can’t tell us the exact time, all the evidence shows us that human beings have been able to understand that there definitely is some relationship between sex and childbirth, since the homo sapiens walked on this planet probably between the unfolding of our breed and the evolution of human culture about 50,000 years ago.

There isn’t much material evidence on this matter. However, a plague from the archaeological site of Çatalhöyük illustrates a Neolithic understanding, with a mother and child on one side and two figures embracing on the other. …

You won’t believe how these people died.

We know that the ancient world was a pretty odd place. It was full of bloody wars, cruel rulers, and strange social practices. It was the time when people were trying to figure out how the world and everything around them worked. They were doing different experiments, trials, and making errors too. However, some of those errors turned out to be deadly.

In this article, I have listed down some of the most bizarre, weird, and unusual deaths in ancient Rome, Greece, and other parts of the classical world. Some of these deaths were punishments, some were accidents, and some were simply a result of bad luck. …

From pioneers for peace to groundbreaking scientists — none are exempt.

We don’t really know much about the private lives and sexual preferences of many of our history’s greatest men. We often like to believe that those men lived exemplary public, as well as private lives. However, that’s not always the case.

After doing some research, I’ve compiled a list of five great men from world history who had the most bizarre and unusual sexual fetishes. Give it a read, and let me know what you think.

1. Mahatma Gandhi — India’s Founding Father

It’s not a secret that Mahatma Gandhi, one of the founding fathers of India, was involved sexually with his grandnieces. He used them as a replacement for his walking stick in the morning and then slept with them naked at night. Gandhi thought that it was necessary to conduct this “so-called experiment in celibacy” in order to achieve higher levels of spirituality. …

Love, sex, and marriage in ancient Indian society.

India, with its rich history and culture, has also been well known for being a pioneer in sexual education, practices, and discourse. The ancient Indians have been quite open about their sexuality, the fundamentals of which are believed to be intertwined with religion. The earliest Indian culture is popularly believed to have open sexual relationships, highly erotic sexual literature, paintings, and artworks. This can be attested by the artifacts and literature of the Indian culture that have survived to this day, which shed light on the sensual nature of Indian lovemaking.

When talking about Indian history on sex, one highly renowned element of it always comes up, which is the ‘Kama Sutra’. The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text on sexuality, eroticism, and a guide on the pleasures achieved by humans during sexual practices. This text is renowned for including a lot of sexual positions. India is also unique with respect to the geographical location as it has high mountains up north while oceans surrounding the rest of the country. The region, having a rich history and culture of its own, deserves to be examined in isolation and not in combination with the rest of the ancient world. Despite its regular contact with ancient China, Greece, and Rome, Indian history is rich enough to stand out alone. …

‘In God we trust. All others must bring data.’

It is quite uncertain as to when data recording and data analysis began in this world. We are unaware of the person that initially came up with the idea on how to record data and to the extents, data was being recorded and analyzed in its initial phases.

However, it is pretty evident that recording data is one of the most useful tools in today’s world. Hence, the idea of recording data was an ingenious one and it is still considered a central part of the world we live in.

After doing a lot of research, I’ve compiled a list of five fascinating examples of successful data collection and analysis from world history. …

Trust me it’s worse than your mom walking in on you.

Masturbation is a process of sexual pleasure that all adults are familiar with, and it's most likely that they have indulged in it at some point in their life. You have probably heard a million jokes about it, although it exists to service one of the most basic human needs.

According to Healthline,

“Moderate amounts of masturbation improve mood and have health benefits like reducing the risk of prostate cancer.”

That does not necessarily mean that one should start masturbating whenever one feels like it, it also has a lot of detrimental effects if you do it excessively.

However, we aren’t here to discuss the pros and cons of masturbation. We’re here to take a look at the infamous Pompeii masturbator, who met his demise doing what he loved the most and became a sculpture carved into eternity. It is a living reminder of the fact that whether we talk about people today or people who might have existed thousands of years ago, our physical needs were basically the same. …
