Maybe somewhere in the world, at some specific time, someone used social media to save their life. I'm sure that's in the realm of possibilities. The most likely situation if someone is using social media as their 9-1-1 is that they're just looking for attention. It doesn't matter how many retweets you get if you're getting stabbed. Everyone knows this. That's why it raised immediately red flags when this Facebooker-in-danger posted about their supposed break-in in progress.
First off, I don't live in a place big enough for there to be anywhere to hide if a break in occurred, so the entire concept of doing anything other than screaming is completely lost on me. Secondly, if someone is breaking in, get the hell off social media. Now, this Facebooker almost got away with their lie when called out, claiming they couldn't get to their phone. Too bad people on facebook are the pettiest sleuths you ever met. They quickly pointed out, "you wrote this via mobile..." YA BURNT!
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
