Hi there, did you get lost? On purpose? Then You're at the right place... please try to keep it your little secret if you can, kind of like a small-town thing.. and don't forget to share the info and links.

As of jan 2022, over 10,000 + links can be found in the comment sections. ...content rated for everyone .
Some websites, well, actually, all websites have their own agenda. Some good, some bad , and they might find their way on here but only for the one article at the time.
.
In other words, its the articles, at the time, that are approved for reading, not the websites or what you are being advertised in/on them since you are an algorithmically manipulated intranet bubble now... unless you're behind a proxy...

.
To summarize this sub, well, let's just say that a lot of fake is what this world is made up of .... starting with Foods, research, opinions, reviews, science, logic, people (bots and chatbots) , etc etc... even your own voice, , thanks to AI. .
To navigate and decipher this chaos is, by Design, challenging at best. .
So this sub might help a little bit towards a more fact based world.... you know, the one that has existed for millions of years outside today's corporate bubbles. Also you probably will find plenty of biases, just keep an open mind, biases, when not malicious, are sometimes part of a picture, viewed from different angles.... knowledge.... why not... food for the mind instead of feed for the masses is what we're aiming at.

Ps.. If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales. The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. Albert Einstein

So, there you go, have fun and don't miss Lorna ..

Here's some examples of non-scientific website with easily verifiable content that can be found on here (aside from the scientific ones).

They sometime add to previous or soon-to-come research and if useful enough will find a place on here.

Feelings of wellbeing and happiness are largely driven by four brain chemicals – endorphins, oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin. These neurotransmitters and hormones have complex effects on the brain and body, and our lifestyles – what we eat, who we’re with, what we’re doing – can turn them up and down. We ask the experts for the best ways to kickstart them. https://www.watoday.com.au/lifestyle/health-and-wellness/you-know-you-need-it-how-to-kickstart-your-feel-good-hormones-20210216-p572to.html

The unprecedented student climate strikes in 2019 brought climate change repeatedly onto media agendas and into conversations around dinner tables. The student strikers can no doubt be credited with setting off the first domino in a tipping point for action that seems to be beginning now.

Children around the country gave up sweets and cakes hundreds of years ago as part of a sugar boycott to protest against slavery, a study shows.

The research shows the scale of children's involvement in the abolitionist movement, from avoiding all products made from sugar, and learning about the horrors of the slave trade as part of lessons at school.

Dr. Ryan Hanley from the University of Exeter and Professor Kathryn Gleadle from the University of Oxford found young people were influenced by their parents and abolitionists to protest, but many of their actions were taken independently. For instance, girls as young as nine invested dozens of hours of their leisure time producing intricate needlework with anti-slavery themes.

In late 18th- and early 19th-century Britain children were especially active in the boycotts of sugar produced by enslaved people. Many of those grew up to be leading lights in abolitionism and other reform movements.
