Inveterate Use Of Smartphones Will Damage Your Mental Health

I was born in 1974 and we got our first game console in 1979 and our second in 1980, then we got our first home computer, the Commodore 64, in 1982, followed by the Amiga 500 in 1986.

Stupidity Without Bounds: Incorrect Time-Restricted Eating Vs. Energy Restriction For Sleep Quality

Today we return to Examine.com and a summary of another totally idiotic, backwards-thinking and unnecessary trial proving that researchers and the monkeys of today practicing “modern science” might just be the stupidest people on Earth. Let’s see what they f**ked up this time… Quick Summary “In this 12-month randomized controlled trial in 77 adults with obesity, researchers looked at differences in sleep parameters due to either time-restricted eating or calorie restriction.” Well, if time-restricted
