In the year 1985 someone filmed their cat playing the piano. Over two decades later that video would be uploaded to the internet. Cut to years after that and Keyboard Cat is now considered part of the historical record, in my opinion. He's internet meme royalty. Not all internet memes could be given that classification. Most will just float away in the wind as #memories. Let's face it, we've all forgotten about Harambe by now.
That's why out of all possible memes, Keyboard Cat is the most suitable for a tattoo. It has some significance in history... but dear God. Look at that tattoo. It looks like a rejected Muppets character, not Keyboard Cat. I'm not saying a photo-realistic tattoo of a cat is easy, but tattoos aren't supposed to be easy. You want to put in the extra effort so it doesn't look like Keyboard Cat's dead, stuffed body.
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.
