The animals in these lost pet posters will probably never make it back home, but don't despair. They probably aren't actually pets, and some of them aren't even real animals. None of this, however, stopped some clever people from posting these funny signs around their towns. And, please remember, if you see a lost unicorn, do not approach it; just call a local mental health professional.

Feeling burnt out? Scientists discovered the type of music recharges and repairs your mind.

Music has long been appreciated as a powerful tool capable of strongly influencing emotional behavior. Scientists have recently discovered that listening to specific types of music shows measurable changes in brainwave activity. This provides evidence of a biological mechanism by which music can restore a mentally fatigued mind.

The restorative power of music on mental fatigue

A 2025 study on the effects of music on mental fatigue was published in Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback. The study placed 30 university students into two groups—the control group and the music group—and found that those in the music group reported a substantially greater reduction in fatigue than those tested in silence.

Ireland paid artists a basic income and it was a boost for the economy. Here's what they earn.

Since mankind took form, humans have been making art —from cave wall paintings to today's computer-generated animation. Art has been made to serve the public for commercial purposes and for the illumination of the people. With that in mind, the question is whether the government should pay people to make it.

For the past three years, Ireland has invested in 2,000 artists, paying them around $1,500 per month in basic income. Some may argue that it would be a waste of taxpayer money. However, after the three-year trial ended, the endeavor was a net positive for the Irish economy, so the government made the program permanent.

Neuroscientists swear by this mind hack that makes learning anything faster and easier

When it comes to memorization, repeating something over and over again has been the basic tactic most of us have used since starting elementary school. It's long, tedious, often ineffective, and sometimes feels just plain exhausting. But there's good news: the 2357 method is here to help. Yes, this involves repeated visits to subject matter—there's no escaping that part, but it integrates subtle changes that really help. These are the basic steps:

What is the 2-3-5-7 method?

  • Day 1: Revise your initial notes — This might be the biggest hurdle, because nobody, after just learning something, wants to dive right in. Going back over what you just learned and refreshing and cleaning up the notes goes a long way. A 2025 study in the Oxford Academic found rewriting your notes helped with recall, especially for learning details.
  • Day 2: Revise and review them — A 2024 review by Brown University released by the Department of Educational Services found that revisiting and restructuring notes after initial exposure was a strong practice for memory, retention, and productivity.
  • Day 3: Revise and review again — It's the same principle behind Day 2. You can take a slightly different approach this time by focusing on other details or subjects you're not grasping as well. Try to find new ways that things connect and fit together.
  • Day 5: Revise and review again — The good news about Day 5 is that you get to take a break with no Day 4. Taking breaks between study sessions is crucial for combating the "forgetting curve." A 2022 study in the National Library of Medicine discovered that forgetting happens at different time intervals (short, intermediate, and long). Expanding the memorization structure helps tackle each hurdle.
  • Day 7: Revise and review again — The importance on Day 7 is to review more than revise. A great technique suggested by Ellefson is 'blurting.' It involves writing down everything you know about the subject, then checking your notes to find what you missed.

College professors share the secret of how to catch ChatGPT in term papers

Some current college students welcome our A.I. overlords, especially when it comes to writing up term papers. ChatGPT has become a popular way for many students to cut corners when typing up essays, to the point where some barely write anything at all aside from the prompt. However, a study is showing that ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence programs aren't fooling any college professors and can expose students who are slacking off.

A published international study is showing that college professors can tell which essays are genuinely written by students versus ones that are compiled and cooked up by ChatGPT. The researchers at University of East Anglia and other universities that participated in the study analyzed 145 essays written by British university students and 145 essays written by ChatGPT with both batches writing about the same topics. What they have found is that while A.I. and large language models (L.L.M.s) wrote with proper grammar and were academically coherent, all of those essays lacked engagement techniques that are typically used by humans.

The Bee Gees honored The Beatles with this stunning covers medley in 1973

The Bee Gees are rightly remembered, first and foremost, for dominating the disco era. Their work on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack is unimpeachable, from the sidewalk-strutting "Stayin’ Alive" to the tender balladry of "How Deep Is Your Love." But for fans unfamiliar with their earlier work, it’s often shocking to learn about the brother-trio’s other musical phases, including psychedelic-pop and folky soft-rock.

One excellent showcase of that range dates back to August 10, 1973, when they played a stripped-down acoustic medley of five Beatles classics on late-night show The Midnight Special. It was an interesting (and perhaps savvy) promotional choice: The band’s 11th and most recent LP, that year’s Life in a Tin Can, earned middling reviews and below-average sales, only reaching No. 69 on the Billboard 200. Perhaps looking back to The Fab Four—who’d broken up in 1970—was a safer bet than their single "Saw a New Morning," which petered out at No. 94 on the Hot 100.

Older couples share why they happily sleep separately, younger couples are taking note

For many people, having a partner in bed with you is a great way to end your day and go to sleep. Aside from the physical activity, it can be nice to share a warm bed and snuggle up with a person you love to release feel-good chemicals through cuddling, have a second body to help warm up the bed, and feel connected with your partner.

However, many older couples are routinely sleeping independently without any issue. Why is that? Well, many younger folks have gone to Reddit to ask older people why they’ve decided to stay together yet sleep alone with their spouses or partners.

Jack White's former garage-punk band recorded a single and hid 100 vinyl copies inside furniture


Few rock stars know how to build mystique like Jack White—from playing super obscure vintage guitars to color-coding his various musical projects. The coolest example dates back to 2004, when he recorded a single, pressed 100 vinyl copies, and hid them all inside random pieces of furniture.

Before we dive in, let’s tackle some backstory. Prior to his music career, White worked as a professional upholsterer in his native Detroit—first as a teenage apprentice, assisting friend and future bandmate Brian Muldoon. White opened his own shop, Third Man Upholstery, at age 21 and made enough money to pay the bills. But he also turned that business into a kind of art project, likely alienating potential repeat customers with his unique style.
