Your Morning Coffee Is Reshaping Your Gut. Here’s What Scientists Found.

It’s been a while since scientists began to reach a consensus that whatever’s going on in your gut microbiome is vital, as it plays a major role in both physical and mental well-being. Those billions of microbes are sensitive, constantly shifting in response to diet and lifestyle. Now, a team of researchers says that one of the most common daily habits among billions of people worldwide can radically reshape your gut microbiome: drinking coffee . A study published in Nature Communications tracked 62 adults through phases of normal coffee use, a forced two-week break, and a controlled reintroduction of either caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee. The goal was to understand how coffee interacts with the gut-brain axis, the communication network linking digestive microbes and the brain. They found that habitual drinkers had distinct gut microbiomes compared to nondrinkers, with certain bacterial strains more abundant than others. When the study participants stopped drinking coffee, the ...

The 10 Rarest Dogs in America (a Six-Toed Puffin Hunter Takes the Top Spot)

The American Kennel Club just released its annual list of the rarest dog breeds in the US, and topping the list is a dog most people have never heard of, let alone seen in person. The Norwegian Lundehund holds the title of rarest dog breed in the United States, according to the AKC’s 2025 registration statistics. And before you ask what a Lundehund even is—it’s a small, ancient Norwegian dog with a job history stranger than most people’s. The Lundehund is the only dog breed created specifically for puffin hunting, a job that, apparently, used to be a real thing people needed a dog for. The breed comes from Vaeroy, a remote island in Norway’s Lofoten archipelago, and it was purpose-built for the work. Six fully functional toes, a neck that bends back to touch its spine, ears that fold shut to keep water out, and ultra-flexible shoulders that allow its forelegs to extend perpendicular to the body. All of it existed for a reason. The dogs used every physical advantage to scale cliffs, ...

Some Air Force Cadets Got in Trouble for Drawing Penises in the Sky

It is every pilot’s duty, at some point in their career, to safely and securely—without putting anyone at risk—use flight tracking systems to draw some penises in the sky. Not with skywriting smoke. That would be gauche. But with GPS tracking. It feels like a rite of passage. Unfortunately, it’s a lot less acceptable when you’re a professional pilot or a military pilot, which is exactly the problem facing a group of cadets from the Finnish Air Force. During a training exercise on April 13, cadets flying out of Tikkakoski used their flight paths to create shapes that, according to publicly available tracking data from Flightradar24, resembled d—k and balls . At least four aircraft were involved, each contributing a piece to the beautiful tapestry. The flights themselves weren’t technically unsafe, but Air Force officials would rather their very expensive equipment weren’t used to draw genitalia via GPS. Finnish Air Force Cadets Reportedly Drew Dicks During Training Flight The Air F...

‘Swipe Bait’ Is Ruining Your Chances of Finding Your Person

You’ve likely heard of the popular term “ rage bait ,” which is behavior or content specifically intended to trigger anger in a given audience. But what about the concept of “swipe bait”? Swipe baiting runs rampant on dating apps, where many people put their best foot forward, sharing what they believe will secure the most matches. Think: photos with cute dogs that aren’t actually yours, staged pictures with a baby to make you seem softer than you really are, or content of you hiking even though you absolutely hate the outdoors. Many dating app users are tired of the subtle lies from their matches, without realizing they’re likely doing the same in return. Swipe baiting is an incredibly common form of validation-seeking, but beneath it lurks a deeper, more nuanced truth. What Is ‘Swipe Baiting’? As noted above, swipe baiting involves using fake or misleading photos or prompts on dating apps in order to get more swipes.  According to Angelika Koch, Relationship expert at Taimi...
