I grabbed this old framed print from a Goodwill in Dayton last month for like 3 bucks. The frame was ugly but the art looked kind of interesting, so I figured whatever. I hung it in my hallway for two weeks before my neighbor who does estate sales came over and freaked out. She said it looked like a legit signed print from some regional artist named Clyde something. I looked it up online and found sold listings on eBay for around $400 for similar pieces. I still don't fully believe it because who gets that lucky right? But the signatures match and the paper looks old enough. Has anyone else stumbled into something valuable by accident or am I just reading too much into this?
I actually tried it with a whole bag of lemons from the store and after 45 minutes my phone showed 0% and the lemon was smoking a little, has anyone else gotten that experiment to work or is it just clickbait?
I watched three different brand videos last night and each one showed a filter turning brown river water clear in 10 seconds, but when I tested a cheap one from Amazon with actual tap water mixed with dirt, the filter clogged after 2 ounces and the water still looked like tea - has anyone else run a real test on these things?
Turns out most of the original research was done on rabbits which have totally different biology, and newer meta-analyses with like 30,000 people show no link for most folks. Has anyone else found a commonly accepted fact that fell apart when you actually checked the sources?
I started tracking my steps last August after seeing this viral claim that 10k a day fixes everything. Made it to day 100 yesterday. My sleep got better around week 3, but my knees started hurting around day 70. The crazy part is the health numbers I tracked didn't change nearly as much as the internet promised. My resting heart rate dropped from 72 to 68, not the huge drop people talk about. I lost maybe 4 pounds total which is barely anything for 3 months of walking 5 miles a day. Has anyone else actually tracked their own results from a viral health challenge?
I checked the sources they cited and found two of them were just opinion blogs, not actual studies. Anyone got a link to real research on this?
Saw this video that claimed you just hinge at the hips and let the bell float up. Tried it in my garage last Tuesday and woke up Wednesday barely able to stand. Turns out I was rounding my lower back the whole time. A buddy who actually does competitive lifting sent me a proper video from a certified coach. Totally different setup, core engaged, neck neutral. Why do people post dangerous stuff just for likes? Has anyone else gotten burned by a fitness trend that looked too easy?
