What’s the function of the perineum?

The perineum is a group of muscles that works like a hammock, stretching from the pubic bone to the tailbone. To pinpoint its location, try coughing; you’ll feel a downward pressure in your lower abdomen.   It provides support for your internal organs, like the rectum and bladder, and for women, the vagina and uterus. It also absorbs physical impact. For example, when you run, the increased abdominal pressure puts stress on the perineum, which can absorb shocks equal to four times your body weight. In men, it also plays a role in maintaining erections. How can I know if my perineum isn’t as strong as it should be? And if my perineum is in good shape? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Will AI steal my job?

AI is transforming many industries and sectors, from manufacturing to healthcare, from education to entertainment which will inevitably affect the way we work. But will AI replace humans or create new opportunities? Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as recognizing faces, understanding speech, or making decisions. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, AI could displace 75 million jobs by 2025, but also create 133 million new ones. How can we prepare for this shift? So, will AI steal your job and is that a good thing? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: How to use less water? What is Pokémon?

How can I avoid putting on weight when giving up smoking?

According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of smokers in the UK is estimated at 6.6 million. The proportion has been steadily dropping for years now. Given the health risks, you’d think smokers would be delighted to give up, but the prospect of putting on weight is a cause of concern for many. To be fair, it i’s a well-founded fear to some extent. In 2014, Addiction journal reported that the average prevalence of weight gain after quitting smoking was 80%. In such cases, the average weight gain is 5 - 10lb. Of course, putting on a few pounds is far less dangerous than continuing to smoke, so the choice to quit should still be a no-brainer. Nevertheless, let’s delve deeper into the post-quitting weight gain phenomenon. What effects do cigarettes have on the body? It must be difficult not to start compulsive eating, mustn’t it?

Why are X.com users leaving the platform for BlueSky?

Since Elon Musk acquired social network Twitter in October 2022, the company has been pretty much constantly in the spotlight, and not really for the right reasons. It started very shortly after, with controversy erupting when the new owner fired 80% of the company’s workforce, including CEO Parag Agrawal. Of course, the change of name from Twitter to X.com then followed in summer 2023. There’s been a great deal of disillusionment among long-time Twitter users, many of whom have now chosen to leave the platform completely. Just last week, The Guardian announced it would no longer post on X, and many other famous figures have also opted to do the same, like Stephen King and Jamie Lee Curtis.

What are the world’s biggest kleptocracies?

You may remember that we’ve talked about the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Democracy Index in the past on Do You Really Know, which assigns each of the world’s countries a score from one to ten based on how democratic they are.   But have you ever heard of a kleptocracy? It’s a phenomenon that can creep into democracies and drag down their scores. A kleptocracy is a political system where corruption and money laundering are rampant. Public funds are often syphoned off and hidden in tax havens, with the families and inner circles of those in power frequently benefiting from these large-scale thefts. Is the “klepto” part similar to kleptomania? Where does this happen? Are Western democracies immune to all this? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is the ‘adult only’ trend, in public places all about?

At a time when Europe faces a "baby bust," the role of children in public spaces is sparking new debate. Increasingly, restaurants, hotels, and even tour operators are rolling out “adults only” policies. Gone are the sounds of crying babies or kids running around tables, but this shift raises questions about individualism in society. In recent years, child-free options have doubled globally, with hotels and restaurants seeing a surge in demand for adult-only spaces. In the UK, chains like Warner Leisure Hotels are dedicated entirely to adult-only stays, reflecting a significant shift in hospitality preferences. Is this trend really that widespread? Is it even legal? Isn’t it discriminating against part of the population? Why is this trend picking up steam now? What does this mean for society? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Why do we talk about “left” and “right” in politics?

Today, “left” and “right” are the main labels we use to categorise political views, but their origins go back over two centuries. To understand, we have to go back to the French Revolution in 1789. That spring, France’s King Louis XVI convened a meeting known as the Estates General, bringing together representatives from three groups, or “Estates”: the clergy, the nobility, and the Third Estate, which represented the common people. A few months later, in July, this assembly became the Constituent Assembly. Where did it all begin? Are there other kinds of political oppositions besides left and right?

How can I take part in Giving Tuesday?

Giving Tuesday is a worldwide initiative which encourages people to do good. The movement was created in the United States in 2012, and has since spread to have a presence in 75 different countries as of 2021. In 2022, like every year, Giving Tuesday is celebrated the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and Black Friday, meaning it falls on 29th November. A lot of companies and charities match donations to encourage people to give. For example, in 2022, Meta will match up to $7 million in donations made through their platform, as it has done in previous years. Paypal does something similar and indeed matches donations to qualified nonprofits throughout the year, for up to $2500 per person.  Is it all about donating to charity then? What can I do to help?

Could EMDR therapy help you recover from past traumas?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing was only created in the late 20th century, but it’s since established itself as a popular and increasingly used form of therapy. EMDR is especially recommended for children and adults dealing with trauma from physical or psychological violence, such as sexual abuse. It was discovered relatively recently in 1987, but that doesn’t mean it’s an alternative treatment; it’s a clinically proven approach. According to charity PTSD UK: “One study showed up to 90% of single-trauma victims no longer have PTSD after only 3 90-minute sessions.” How does it work? How was it discovered?

What are the best plant-based protein foods?

Vegetarians and vegans, do you ever find it difficult to keep your diet balanced? Meat-eaters, if you’ve ever considered going veggie, was that something that dissuaded you? It’s certainly fair to say that simply loading up on fruit and veg isn’t enough to stick to a balanced meat-free diet. You really need to be including grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, perhaps not on a daily basis, but as a regular source of protein. Where exactly are the best sources?

What are the benefits of No Nut November?

You may well be aware of Movember, the month-long focus on men’s health that began in Australia in 2003 and takes place in November each year. But it’s actually not the only male-related November trend that’s grown in prominence in recent years. The idea of the somewhat less serious No Nut November challenge came about in 2011, when a user posted about it on Urban Dictionary. But it wasn’t until the late 2010s that it really gained traction online. How does the challenge work then? Does abstinence have any real benefits? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How can we live without regrets?

Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in his work The Joyful Wisdom, explored this through a thought experiment he called the "eternal return." He asked us to imagine: What if you had to live this very life, exactly as it is—every joy, every sorrow, every thought—over and over, for eternity? How would you feel? Would you embrace it? Or, as Nietzsche suspected, would you recoil in horror? Nietzsche believed this reaction reveals a deep-seated struggle many have with regrets and missed opportunities. His work, which dates back to 1882, shows that the anguish of missing out on one's life is not new but common to us all. So how can we avoid regret? What are these common regrets? What about relationships? Are these regrets unavoidable? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Is skipping meals bad for you?

No doubt at some point in your life you’ve skipped a meal, whether it was to save money, lose weight or just because you were too damn busy with work. Maybe you even do it on a regular basis, without really knowing whether it’s good or bad for you. Skipping meals makes us more likely to snack afterwards, eating food items which are often high in fat and sugar. Another risk is that you compensate by overeating at your next mealtime. By taking on more calories than you need, you’ll accentuate feelings of hunger.  Can I at least skip breakfast? What about when I’m not feeling hungry at all?

Do "light" food products really help you lose weight?

If you believe the marketing slogans printed on their packaging, light or reduced-calorie food products offer you the same enjoyment but with fewer calories. It seems like a no-brainer, right?! In order for a product to be labelled as “light” (with either “-ght” or “-te” at the end), current rules in the UK state that it must be “at least 30% lower in one typical value (calories or fat) than that manufacturer’s standard version of the product in the same range”.

What are some of the world's best treasure hunts?

After over three decades of relentless searching, the Golden Owl was finally found on October 3, 2024. This €150,000 treasure was hidden back in 1993 by writer Régis Hauser, who took on the pseudonym Max Valentin to publish ‘Sur la trace de la chouette d'or’  ("On the Trail of the Golden Owl"). The book has 11 riddles, each one a clue to the owl’s secret location, setting off what would become the longest-running treasure hunt ever organised. More than 200,000 enthusiasts, known as “chouetteurs,” joined the chase.   What does the Golden Owl look like? Are there other famous treasure hunts like this one?

Why do people become kleptomaniacs?

It might only affect between 0.3% and 0.6% of the population, but still public awareness of kleptomania is pretty strong. It’s come to our attention through portrayals in films and TV series over the years, as well as real-life examples of Hollywood celebrities being prone to it despite all their riches. So the chances are you already know that kleptomania is a behavioural disorder which sees people feel an intense urge to steal. Often the item being stolen doesn’t hold any great financial or sentimental value, and like with Hollywood celebs, the kleptomaniac probably doesn’t even need it. What’s more, they’re generally even aware that what they’re doing is wrong. It’s just that the temptation to steal is so strong that they can’t resist.

Why do I have white spots on my nails?

To understand where white spots come from, we must first explain how nail growth works. If you’ve ever had white spots on your nails before, you may have been dismissively told that it's down to a lack of calcium or zinc. Basically, some mineral-deficiency. But this popular belief doesn’t really have any basis in fact. According to Healthline, nails grow an average of 3 millimeters per month. Their composition is made up of keratin, a protein, and just 0.03% calcium. So white spots are certainly not just a calcium problem!  What is the color of a healthy nail?

What's the best way to have quick sex?

A few months ago we ran an episode on how long people have sex for, and referenced an American study from the 2000s which found that the ideal length for most people is between 7 and 13 minutes. Now that’s probably less than what a lot of you might think, but it’s proof that quick sex can often be just as satisfying as a drawn out love-making session. And let’s be honest - often we don’t really have much of a choice. Finding any more than 15 minutes to be intimate with your partner can be a challenge, depending on how busy your daily schedule is and whether you’ve got kids who need your attention. Still, the quickie is a great way for couples to keep their sex lives exciting; it’s fast and spontaneous, and it can happen anytime, anywhere. So let’s run through a few tips to help you get the most out of your quick sex! Does a quickie always mean penetration?

What is a ‘sandwich employee’?

In our professional lives, just as in our personal ones, we all wear many hats. But how does juggling all those roles make us feel? For some, it can be a fulfilling challenge, while for others, it can lead to burnout and a loss of identity. This is especially true for managers, who often find themselves in the toughest spot. Think about your coworker who’s always balancing the demands of their team and their boss, acting as the go-between for frustrated employees and anxious higher-ups. In today’s business climate, it’s no wonder that middle managers — those caught in the middle — are at high risk of burnout. What are they up against?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognized yourself?

Depersonalization, a dissociative psychological syndrome, can be incredibly destabilising. It often takes years for sufferers to identify it. Characterised by altered self-perception, individuals may feel dead, detached, or anaesthetised. They might not recognize themselves in the mirror and struggle to distinguish between reality and a dream. According to Stanford University School of Medicine, this rare phenomenon affects only 2% of the global population.

Why should you pee after having sex?

I don’t know about your love life, but let’s be honest; for most people having sex doesn’t work out as smoothly as what you see in the movies. Not only is the act itself idealised, but so is what comes after. On screen, you tend to see couples snuggling and drifting off in each other's arms, all cosy and serene.  But what movies tend to skip over is the part where you have to slip out of bed with your legs pressed together, and waddle like a penguin to the bathroom to pee and wash up.

In late October 2024, thousands of musicians, actors and authors signed a protest letter against their work being used to build artificial intelligence tools. Signatories included actress Julianne Moore, Björn Ulvaeus of Abba, actor Kevin Bacon, and Radiohead.  Their main gripe is that their work is being used to train algorithms that could ultimately jeopardise their very careers.

Why does hair turn grey?

Greying hair can be triggered for a number of reasons, genetics; some people’s hair turns grey earlier than others. Stress, a recent study in mice showed that stress can cause stem cells to leave the hair follicle and migrate to other parts of the body, leaving no cells to produce melanin. Some Illnesses like thyroid disease and of course ageing. But could the days of grey hair be over? Possibly. A new study conducted by scientists from New York University Grossman School of Medicine have discovered why hair turns grey and how to stop it happening. Well at least in mice.  What are the cells that produce hair colour and how do they work? So why is hair going grey?

Are you an “ambivert”?

Are you more of an introvert or an extrovert? Or maybe a bit of both? While introverts often need solitude to recharge and feel more comfortable alone, extroverts thrive on interaction, seeking out social situations and sometimes feeling uneasy in isolation. These two categories are often seen as opposites, but experts at psychologue.net suggest that personality traits actually exist on a spectrum. This means that introversion and extroversion can coexist, and many people identify with aspects of both. If you see yourself in both introverted and extroverted behaviors, you might be what’s called an ambivert.
