What Happens to the Record Food After Winning Her, Color Photographs From the 1900s, and a Three-Minute Journey Through the Universe
This week, we’ll take a quick tour of the universe and take a quick trip to the world’s largest hamburger, pizza or other record food after it breaks the record, and take a look at some of the earliest color photographs of life around the world. and stay productive during dire times.
Some of the earliest color photographs of life around the world
Photography as a means of capturing the world around us is barely 200 years old, and the concept of color photography is probably almost 100 years younger. More on a timeline (on Medium), Ryan Dundon explores an archive of some of the world’s oldest color photographs of not necessarily wealthy people who could afford them at the time, but one of those wealthy people who wanted a kind of “photo archive of the world” , and intended to do so between 1909 and 1931.
The result of his expedition was a series of beautiful photographs from all over the world of people from all walks of life in beautiful colors, uncharacteristic of images of that time. From a uniformed Senegalese sniper to a portrait of three women in Kyoto to stunning photographs of Egypt and Bosnia – there is a lot to look out for here – and a reminder that so much has changed in a very short period of time. Obviously the photos are copyrighted, so I won’t post them here (the photo above is in the public domain ), but they are more than worth visiting and reading the story of the person who wanted them all to be captured and saved for history.

Space Traveler’s Guide to the Universe
Take a few minutes of your day to explore our solar system – and beyond – with this video from Expedia . Filled with facts about every planet in our solar system and a little “attraction” while you are there, you will actually get out of it by learning a little about how gorgeous other planets in our solar system really are, maybe a little about our own. and even a little about what is outside of other galaxies, and how long it will take to actually make this multimillion-dollar journey back and forth.
There’s even a tidbit about Sagittarius A, the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way Galaxy – and, of course, a good warning to observe from a safe distance. Click Play and then watch the video – and accompanying graphics – on Expedia. [ via Expedia.ca ]
What happens to the huge record food after winning?
When the food is insane, like the world’s largest bowl of ramen or the world’s largest ice cream sandwich. or even the largest amount of food, such as the most cooked pizzas or pancakes flipped within a given time limit, go into the Guinness Book of World Records as the biggest / biggest ever, what actually happens to all that food ?
This is pretty obvious in some cases, as the creation of an object might be taking place at a festival or event dedicated to that thing , but in other cases it is not so clear. Well, the YouTube Today I Found Out channel explains that most of this food is either sold or donated, and the Guinness Book of World Records actually stipulates that all food made to attempt a record must be consumed or sold for consumption in order to be recorded. official. … And yes, this is precisely to prevent the controversy that you might be thinking about, and to dissuade people from cooking a whole ton of food, breaking the world record, and then spending it all, throwing it away, or leaving it to rot.
There are some caveats, however, as explained in the full video, such as when a hamburger company, for example, tried to make the world’s largest hamburger (£ 700!), But failed because they couldn’t cook it completely. way to be safe … on the first try. They tried again and they succeeded. The whole story – and some examples of what happened to this food in the past – are in the video. [ via Today I Found Out (YouTube) ]
Performance in dire times
How do you stay productive when the world around you feels like shit awaits you, or when your mental energy is constantly diverted and channeled somewhere else to the plight of those close to you or even distant people? Eileen Webb explains in this great article full of both old and new tips. Some things you’ve probably heard from us before, like coming to terms with your job and the fact that it may not change the world, but that’s what you need to do and create an environment around you to support you – and so you can support others.
Real wealth is at the very bottom of the article, where she offers some specific tips for self-care that is so important right now :
- Set aside time for routine personal care, such as going to the gym or doing yoga, or drinking tea on Sunday morning and reading a soft book.
- Regulate the flood. You don’t need to have all the news and notification sources on every device all the time. Consider setting contextual rules such as “I don’t watch Twitter before breakfast,” “I will only use Facebook on the bus,” “No Slack or Asana on my phone.” The rules may change over time, but remember that your willpower is overextended and you don’t belong to your job or your social media. Healthy boundaries are an important part of creating a life of anger.
- Be in nature. Pay attention to those parts of this world that are outside our daily concerns. Look at ice crystals. Listen to a squirrel gathering supplies. Be aware that the crested tit has never even heard of the electoral college.
- Be with your friends. Breathe, laugh and paint graffiti on underground passages. Share the joy of battle with the people you love.
It’s also worth remembering that productivity isn’t everything . It may seem strange to us to say this, but in the end it is important to remember. As always, productivity is about helping you do what you need to do faster so you can spend more time doing what you want . If it doesn’t serve that purpose, reevaluate.
After all, sometimes being unproductive is the best way to be productive – or at least come to terms with what you really should be spending your time on.

Every week I try to finish something uplifting, upbeat and uplifting, and this animated short is only about two minutes long and fits the bill. I wish I had a dog like Omlette Dog here, but one thing’s for sure – if I’m having a rough day, I’ll come back to this adorable short. What a good dog. [via Madeline Sharafian (Vimeo) ]
