Space moss just shrugged off nine months in orbit

Scientists stuck moss on the outside of the International Space Station and left it there for nine months in 2022. That means no cozy lab, just cold, radiation, and the big empty. When they brought the spores back, the moss was still alive and able to grow. This matters because it hints that tough little plants might handle space travel better than we thought. Also, it is nice to know that if humans mess up the planet, moss may still be out there calmly doing its thing.

A 22-year-old in Greece tried to swallow a whole burger without chewing, just to get a laugh. Instead, he collapsed, landed in intensive care, and reportedly needed a ventilator. Doctors say the stunt caused serious harm to his organs. The lesson here is boring but real: your body is not a trash can, and food is not a magic trick. Somewhere, every parent on Earth is quietly muttering, "See, this is why we said take bites."

That’s the set for today. If one of these made you laugh, sigh, or text a friend, you’re not alone. Send me your best head-shaker of the week and I might tuck it into a future roundup. Until then, stay curious and chew your food. - Doug
