In recent years, the Indian government…

The interesting-looking animal…
In today’s world, Antarctica is the epicenter of all myths and experiments. The majority of our generation’s most surprising findings were made in Antarctica, and the more we learn about it, the stranger the continent becomes and the less we know about it. NASA recently performed an experiment on the ice of Antarctica that yielded a plethora of evidence that confirms the hypothesis of the parallel universe, and that, unlike our universe, this one follows separate physics rules. To get more specific, NASA is confirming this, saying that this alternate world is unlike anything we’ve ever seen or heard of…
Let’s be frank here: it’s ridiculous to believe that UFOs aren’t legitimate. There is a plethora of evidence lying around everywhere you look, and that is a reality. But now that we know this to be valid, another hypothesis has emerged, suggesting that the UFOs we’ve been seeing for so long are much more important than we previously believed. These UFOs, according to a brilliant professor called Michael Masters, are our forefathers from the future, who have come to observe us more closely. This would indicate that the UFOs are true time machines, which would be thrilling to say the…
Ancient artifacts have always been a bit of a shock if we’ve managed to get our hands on them, simply because of the magic they hold. The majority of these items date back hundreds of thousands of years, with others dating back millions of years. One of the most popular is a half-billion-year-old sandal imprint, as well as the hammer in London, which is said to be at least five million years old. Every artifact tells a tale; if we can decipher the story or not is up to us; but, even though we can’t locate the exact story that…
The tragic events of September 11th are not to be laughed at. The lives lost on that day will be remembered forever, and we will never trivialize the case. But, as well-known as this tragedy is, did you know it wasn’t the only tragic occurrence to occur during that time period? About two days before the crisis on 9/9, a UFO from the future landed on Earth, and when the aliens descended from their spacecraft, they started showing us what they had been trying to teach us all along. Since the video was leaked, don’t expect it to be in…
Ever since he joined the crew, Sanji has always ranked below Luffy and Zoro within the Straw Hat Pirates’ hierarchy of strength. To make matters worse, once Jinbei joined the crew, Sanji’s rank degraded even further. Despite being one of the best characters written in One Piece, Sanji is usually very underrated. The only time he had more importance than Zoro was during the “Whole Cake Island” arc, which finally gave him his long-deserved spotlight, telling his second tragic backstory. Sanji is the Straw Hat’s chef, and as such, he has an important position in the crew. Not only that, but…
One of Zoro’s best moments in One Piece was absorbing Luffy’s pain on Thriller Bark. Taking in this pain and enduring it showed his strength in body and mind among other things. Now, Jewelry Bonney is about to go through a similar trial. As of Chapter 1074, “MK. III,” she is trying to take in the pain of her father Bartholomew Kuma’s tragic past. The trial is a little different from Zoro’s, but the results should be the same. By the end of it, she should come out revealing her resolve and becoming more fleshed out as a character. How Is Bonney Taking In Kuma’s…
One Piece revealed the tragic death of Kozuki Oden in the “Wano” arc, making fans wonder why Whitebeard, who so deeply valued his crewmates, didn’t avenge him. Although Oden had joined Roger’s crew despite being the Whitebeard Pirates’ Second Division Commander, the bond between Whitebeard and Oden wasn’t broken. They were both sworn brothers, therefore, one can only imagine how devastating Oden’s death was for Whitebeard and his crew. Given the massive crew, treasures and extremely talented fighters on Whitebeard’s side, he could’ve tried to go against Kaido but didn’t. Even more baffling is how he went on a full-blown war against the Marines to…
When it went viral, many commenters couldn’t believe it was a real plant. It was. In March 2019, images of a plant dubbed ‘penis flytrap’ went viral. The name was a play on words that evokes the plant Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), the name of which could, in turn, be an oblique reference to it’s resemblance to human female genitalia. Here’s what the Venus flytrap looks like, to start with. Photo: Noah Elhardt Now let’s go back to the phallic-looking one. The plant belongs to the Nepenthes genus and is found in the Philippines. Though the origin of the image (see full…
The penduline tit is a genius when it comes to architecture: its nest has a hidden entrance, while the visible opening leads to an empty pocket to trick predators. These birds are skillful architects. Image credit: Tomasz Przechlewski & Michele Lamberti The penduline tit (Remiz pendulinus) belongs to the bird family Remizidae. Its name, penduline, refers to the hanging bag nests that the bird builds for its eggs. While the shape and form of the nest are quite impressive just by themselves, it also has a very unique and important defense mechanism: a hidden entrance. They pay a great attention to detail when…

What happens to us when we die? It is an age-old question that has been pondered by philosophers, psychologists, doctors, and the greatest minds of history. Do we move on to some other realm, are we reborn, or is there simply a vast sea of nothingness and oblivion, our existence erased forever? Despite millennia of seeking the answers to these questions and numerous studies, we are no closer to knowning the truth than we were when our ancestors first had that flicker of conciousness that made them ask these questions to begin with, and it has long been considered one…

Something unusual happened in the latest One Piece chapter. Luffy is completely exhausted, but it’s not necessarily from fighting — rather, it’s from running around a lot. Many fans have started to wonder if there’s a greater meaning behind Luffy getting so tired so easily. It could mean that he wore himself out during his fight with Rob Lucci, or maybe he’s just not as strong as everyone thought he was. Naturally, anything bringing a shonen protagonist’s strength into question will raise some controversy, so it’s important to get to the bottom of this. What Could Luffy’s Exhaustion Mean for the Overarching Story?…
One Piece is one of the most loved anime to date and has bragging rights to being one of the longest-running shows in the business. Pirates scour the ocean searching for treasure, although these adventurers run the risk of being hunted down by the government and the Marines they command. In many cases, the World Government soldiers can handle any number of pirate crews on the ocean. However, there are a few exceptions. Outstanding pirates whose reputations have spread across the world have bounties placed for these criminals’ imminent capture or death. Bounties are ranked according to power and notoriety, which…
The “Will of D.” is a mystery surrounding some people who have the initial “D.” in their names. Let’s see the possible meanings of D.: 1 – Dawn It’s the most obvious one, a lot of people already thought about it since the first chapter of One Piece is called Romance dawn, and a lot of character have mentioned the “Dawn of the world” as the big event that the Straw Hats are supposed to bring in to the world. Kozuki Toki said in her prophecy that someone will bring a new dawn. 2 – Devil This hit me recently, the…
In the world of One Piece, people who manage to harness the power of the devil fruits stand above the rest of the common folks. After all, these people can easily perform incredible feats such as instantly freezing the ocean or causing an earthquake. It’s only natural that almost every person that stands at the pinnacle of the world, be it good or evil, are those who have the power of devil fruits, such as the Three Admirals or the Four Emperors of the Sea. That being said, it doesn’t mean these people are immortal Gods that cannot be beaten. On the contrary,…

The accusation started when BTS’s fandom ARMY discovered that the newly released music video “Harai Bohudur” by Shusmita Anis X Tahsan X Minar X Sajid Sarker was starkly similar to RM’s music video “Wild Flower.” After watching the new music video by the Bangladeshi artist Tahsan Khan, fans raised their voices in anger and accused the artist of copying 90% of the themes seen in RM’s music video.
