Have you watched it yet?? Thoughts?

Researchers just found a simple procedure that could make guys live significantly longer. Now the bad news.
THAT PROCEDURE IS CASTRATION!
Researchers in New Zealand looked at the DNA of male sheep that were castrated, and compared it to the DNA of male sheep that were still intact. And they found castration made their DNA age much more slowly.
Previous studies had already found that castration leads to a longer life, because you're not bombarded by so many male hormones. And an old study in South Korea even found it could help men live up to 19 years longer. But this is the first study that's proven it slows down the aging process in your DNA.
(I just don't have the balls to do this...wait...oh...never mind...I'll pass.)

Researchers from Elmhurst University in Illinois looked at people spending small amounts of money. They gave 188 participants $5.00 and randomly had them spend the money on themselves, their pets, or someone else.
The people who spent the money on themselves typically bought food, the pets usually got new toys or a treat, and other people would get snacks, drinks, gift cards, or a charitable donation.
And in the end, the researchers determined that buying for a pet triggered the greatest happiness.

New Trend (maybe?)
The hot new cooking trend on TikTok is to put pasta noodles in your air fryer, burn them and then brag about how good you are at making "pasta chips".
You can do it with any type of noodle, but things like spaghetti don't seem like they'd work that well. Things like bow tie pasta and penne are better.
First you boil the pasta like normal. Then you mix in olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan or whatever you want to flavor them with. And after that, you pop them in your air fryer at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Then serve them with dip. Watch the video.
