Yaaas we are back with the 14th release of EP, I hope everyone has had a top tier week and are enjoying your Sunday!
Got some real crazy topics this week, so lets get it!
01. National Geographic Scientists Discover Type 2 Diabetes May Be Reversible!
For years, Type 2 diabetes has been considered a lifelong condition, with most patients relying on medication to manage their blood sugar levels. New research suggests that the disease may be reversible through significant lifestyle changes. Studies indicate that a low-calorie diet and increased physical activity can help some individuals restore normal insulin function, effectively putting the disease into remission. This challenges the traditional medical approach, which typically focuses on controlling symptoms rather than reversing the condition altogether.
The key to this breakthrough lies in reducing excess fat stored in the liver and pancreas, which plays a major role in insulin resistance. When patients follow a strict low-calorie diet, often consuming around 800 calories per day for a period of time, the pancreas can regain its ability to produce insulin efficiently. Some participants in these studies were able to maintain normal blood sugar levels without medication for years after making these changes.
While not everyone may achieve full remission, these findings offer a new hope for millions battling diabetes worldwide. Could lifestyle modifications be the ultimate cure? Science is starting to say yes.
02. QR Code Stickers Appear on Over 1,000 Graves in Munich
Visitors to cemeteries in Munich were left baffled when more than 1,000 graves were suddenly marked with mysterious QR code stickers.
Authorities and locals are still unsure who placed them there or why. When scanned, some of the codes reportedly led to blank pages, while others redirected users to obscure websites.
Speculation ranges from a bizarre art project to a digital memorial effort, but the lack of any explanation has left many uneasy. Is this a strange new trend in honoring the dead, or something more sinister?
03. USA vs. Canada Game Erupts in Three Fights Within Nine Seconds!
The long-standing hockey rivalry between USA and Canada reached a new level of intensity when their latest match exploded into three fights within the first nine seconds of play.
Fans watched in shock as players dropped their gloves almost immediately after the puck hit the ice, turning the game into an all-out brawl. The fiery showdown, which took place in the pre-Olympic tournament, reignited debates about the role of fighting in hockey and whether such explosive encounters add to or detract from the sport.
04. Former Pentagon Official Confirms UFOs Are Real
Luis Elizondo, the former manager of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), has made bombshell claims that UFOs are real—and the U.S. government has been secretly studying them for years.
According to Elizondo, there is credible evidence of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) that defy the laws of physics, performing maneuvers no known human technology could replicate. While the government has long dismissed UFO reports as conspiracy theories, Elizondo insists that we are not alone and officials know far more than they admit. With growing pressure for transparency, could we finally be on the verge of a full UFO disclosure? 🚀👽

06. Why Some People Just Want to Watch the World Burn
Some individuals seem to thrive on chaos and destruction, not because they’re inherently evil, but because they find excitement in unpredictability. Psychologists have identified these people as "chaos seekers"—those who actively enjoy disorder, social upheaval, and even disaster. For them, watching things fall apart provides a sense of freedom, power, or entertainment that they don’t find in stability. This might explain the rise of internet trolls, conspiracy theorists, and those who revel in societal collapse.
Researchers suggest that chaos-seeking behavior could be linked to underlying psychological traits, such as high sensation-seeking tendencies or a desire to break free from restrictive systems. Whether it's rooting for anarchy, spreading misinformation, or engaging in reckless behavior, these individuals are drawn to the thrill of destruction, even when it harms others. While most people fear disorder, chaos seekers embrace it, which could have profound consequences for society.
07. Venomous Snake Native to Ecuador Found in New Hampshire Banana Shipment!
Workers at a New Hampshire supermarket got the shock of their lives when they discovered a venomous snake slithering inside a banana shipment, all the way from Ecuador.
The reptile, identified as a South American lancehead viper, is one of the most dangerous snakes in the world, known for its potent venom. Wildlife officials were quickly called in to capture the unexpected hitchhiker, but the bizarre incident has raised concerns about how often deadly creatures accidentally make their way into food shipments. Next time you grab a banana, you might want to double-check for fangs!
08. How People of the Past Survived the Little Ice Age
Between the 14th and 19th centuries, the world experienced a period of extreme cooling known as the Little Ice Age, a time of brutal winters, failing crops, and widespread famine. But despite the harsh conditions, historical records show that people found innovative ways to adapt. From altering agricultural techniques to developing new ways of preserving food, communities across Europe and North America found creative solutions to survive the freezing climate.
Analyzed diaries, ship logs, and official documents from the era to understand how societies coped with the unpredictable weather. Many communities turned to building more insulated homes, changing their diets, and even shifting political alliances to secure food supplies.
While the Little Ice Age was a time of great hardship, it also demonstrated humanity’s remarkable ability to adapt and persevere in the face of environmental change. Could these historical lessons help us prepare for modern climate challenges?
