Cum ne modelează propriile creații: cultivarea orezului ne face mai altruiști, cultivarea grâului, mai egoiști

The product is priced at around $40 and includes typical…

Unfortunately, modern food myths are not too kind to bread when it comes to sex. We researched how the English-language internet perceives the relationship between bread and sex, and the results are quite disappointing: white bread kills libido. It is very likely the main cause of premature ejaculation. However, no one explains the physiological mechanisms by which a high-fiber diet would…

The first bakery that uses gloves in Iran

Perhaps this is why a YouTube user found it necessary to make an event out of a video from the first bakery in Iran where gloves are used: In Iran, around 65 kg of bread…
