SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

One in 3 adults take daily multivitamins in a bid to stay healthy, but according to a study, they don’t help you live and longer. New research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association looked at nearly 400,000 generally healthy adults over a 20-year period and found no evidence that daily multivitamin intake reduces the risk of death. While some benefits were found for some people, including pregnant women and those with macular degeneration, the study also found that taking several different vitamins can actually be harmful “if you’re taking them in excess.”

Due to the humid and moist conditions that a sloth lives in, moss and other similar plants will sometimes grow in its hair. Sloths also have very bad eyesight. These two factors can sometimes culminate in a sloth grabbing its own arm whilst thinking it is a branch and falling to its death!

Wicked,” the film adaptation of the hit Broadway show, will now land in theaters on Nov. 22 – 5 days ahead of schedule. It was scheduled to open on Nov. 27, the same day as Disney’s “Moana 2.” But with the new release date, Wicked will avoid a box office battle royale against another movie musical that appeals to a similarly female demographic. Plus, Wicked will get a jump on the Thanksgiving holiday. This is the second date shift for “Wicked: Part One,” which was initially set for release on Christmas Day. But Universal moved it to Thanksgiving to dodge releases like Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 3.”

BFFs Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have found their next collab. The “Good Will Hunting” and “AIR” team will next star in “RIP,” a Netflix thriller from writer and director Joe Carnahan (“Narc,” “Smokin’ Aces”). The film will be produced by Artists Equity — the artist-led studio founded by Affleck and Damon. Plot details and release date haven’t been revealed.

Shonda Rimes says “Bridgerton” is just getting started. After Netflix announced that all 3 seasons of the Regency-era romance appear on its most recent Most Popular English-language Series List, the exec-producer said she’s “grateful for the incredible response Bridgerton has received from fans all around the globe”, and “We look forward to bringing more of this beloved universe to screens for years to come.” Season 3 of the show just entered the list at #10, joining Season 1, which is at #4, and Season 2 at #9.

Psychologists examined internet trolls, and found that the majority of them are narcissistic, psychopathic and/or sadistic.

First, it was the “thumbs up” emoji that started getting a bad rap as “rude” on social media. Now? By all means, NEVER text the word “sure”, because apparently, it’s loaded with hidden meaning. Apparently, using that word in a text, as a reply to pretty much anything can be interpreted as being “short”, “dismissive”, and can reveal a certain negative attitude. This all came to light in a Huffington Post article, which told the story of how New York City comedian Isabel Steckel recently called out her brother for using the offensive word, and posted their chat on “X.” It shows that she asked her brother if he wanted to hang out. After he replied: “Sure”, she threw it back at him, saying, “If you’re bringing a ‘sure’ attitude, then let’s not do it.” In the article, Steckel said the word’s meaning varies depending on the context, so replying “sure” to an errand or task is fine, but it sounds bad when inviting someone to spend time with you, unless it is followed by an exclamation mark. Her post soon received over 11 thousand likes, and people agreed that “Sure” is the worst one-word answer – to pretty much anything. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/rce7457h

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com

Chinese researchers have come up with a robot that is controlled by human brain cells in what’s being called a breakthrough in biocomputation. Simply put, the technological advancement was described by the university as being a “brain on a chip.” When paired with an electrode on a computer chip, it is able to encode and decode to have the robot complete a number of tasks. In addition to driving the robot, the de facto brain implant can help it avoid obstacles, track targets, and use its arm to grasp things. This sounds a little creepy, but The South China Morning Post reported that it could lead to “the development of hybrid human-robot intelligence.”
