The recently concluded Super Bowl extended beyond the thrilling on-field performances to the vibrant atmosphere off the field. While stars like Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes dazzled fans with their athletic prowess and went on to lift the title, the crowd indulged in their festivities during breaks in the game. With music and dance taking center stage, spectators transformed the stadium into a pulsating arena of energy and excitement.

From halftime spectacles featuring iconic artists like Ludacris and Usher, the Super Bowl breaks were a showcase of talent and spectacle. Fans swayed to the rhythm of the music, belting out lyrics and showcasing their best dance moves, creating an electrifying atmosphere that reverberated throughout the stadium. One TikTok video stole the spotlight during this year's Super Bowl halftime show. This recent clip uploaded by Monica Graves(@queenmofromdown20) decided to document her father's reaction to the electrifying performance grooving to the tunes of Usher's iconic song 'Yeah'.

Every year, we get reports, most often drawn from Social Security registration data, telling us what the most popular baby names of the last year were. Since population growth is relatively steady in the United States and England (home to the following study), naming babies is a zero-sum game of sorts. All the Addisons, Madisons, Brooklyns, and Aidans come at the expense of other names, once popular, but now out of favor for various reasons.

There has been an ongoing global debate about the quality of drinking water. While many people swear by filtered or packaged water, others vouch for tap water. There are various health and economic reasons attached to both and people have been stuck between figuring out which to pick. Years ago, The Story of Stuff shared a mind-boggling instance from the city of Cleveland that settled the debate for many. The Fiji brand created an ad campaign proposing that they’re better than tap water any day. However, the campaign didn’t have much effect as the city of Cleveland defended tap water with concrete evidence.

When we think of heavy metal, images of macho lyrics, aggressive artwork, long hair, headbanging, dark clothes, and electric guitars often come to mind. For a long time, women were a rare presence in the metal scene, a genre historically dominated by bands like Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath. But times are changing, with artists like Evanescence introducing a Gothic heroine to the metal stage. Yet, even today, the bias against "women in metal" persists. In December 2020, when Zaria Zoyner—known as @zariasmusic on TikTok—posted videos wearing a Metallica shirt, trolls bombarded her with mocking comments. Her response video hit back perfectly.

New parents are always on the hunt for trendy or unique baby names, and some even turn to retro names from decades past. But not every name stands the test of time. Colleen Slagen, known as @namingbebe on TikTok, sparked a buzz online with a video highlighting baby names that were huge in the '80s but have since fallen out of favor.

Scuba diving is an activity through which an individual explores a whole new fascinating world hidden in the ocean while interacting with fish and marveling at coral reefs. It isn't just about swimming alongside various marine species that are unbothered by our presence, but the adventure also involves appreciating nature as a work of art. But one scuba diver Gary Grayson from Worsley, England had a rather startling experience with two grey seals that were swimming around him, according to the Manchester Evening News.

When the Moon formed around 4.5 billion years ago, probably due to Earth’s collision with a Mars-sized planet called Theia, Earth used to spin at a much faster rate. One day at this time was just 10 hours long. Back then, the Moon was roughly 14,000 miles away from Earth, 17 times closer than it is today. As the Moon kept moving farther away from its host planet, the angular momentum and speed of Earth’s rotation kept on slowing down, resulting in longer days. Today, one day equals 24 hours. However, given these billions of years, one day today should be around 60 hours or longer. In a study published in the journal Science Advances, astrophysicists reveal the reason behind this: for a billion-year period in Earth’s history, its rotation rate remained steady, which kept a day at a constant length of 19.5 hours.
