The average apple in the supermarkets are over a year old. They're picked when they're slightly unripe, treated with a chemical, then covered with wax before they're kept in cold storage warehouses. You can scrape that wax off the skin of the apples with a knife if you want to see it, but it's edible so it's not like anything bad will happen if you eat it :3

Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe once accidentally told women to die.

He said If Japanese women shine, Japan will shine even more. In Japanese, shine would be pronounced she-neh, which means die D:

Although he clearly didnt mean it that way, it still caused a bit of anger.

Wolves and ravens share a symbiotic relationship. The ravens act as sort of a look out for the wolves while they're eating, and they get to finish the remains. Or conversely, sometimes the ravens will lead the wolves to carcasses. They'll even bond and play with pups, and follow them should they decide to leave the pack :3

The original rules in basketball didnt have dribbling. Players had to throw the ball from where they caught it, but were allowed a few steps if they were running at that time and tried to stop. But players could technically pass the ball to themselves by bouncing it on the floor, and there you go lol

But there was still a little pushback and some people wanted to limit it to one dribble each time you got the ball, but an association was formed specifically to protest that, and dribbling stayed.

The guy also had a moderate physical activity routine, and had only 1800 calories a day.

That likely wouldn't have worked longer than a few months. I am very surprised he didn't go into shock.
