 We all consider the ant to be a true heavy hitter, lifting weights 20 times its own body weight, hurrying around  building nests and tunnels without sleep but, if you consider that amazing just wait till you see this critter, The mantis shrimp.   The mantis shrimp unlike other shrimp in it’s family takes a much fearsome role as a predator This one is about to devour the snail, but she’s gotta crack open it first right??. She carefully positions her legs and punches the snail with its legs with the force of a .22 caliber bullet, yup you heard me right an aquatic organism that can punch and crack open a snail’s shell with the force of a .22 caliber bullet!!, it’s the fastest attack in the entire animal kingdom!!.   This shrimp is called a smasher. The other is called a spearer buried under sand ambushes and impales its prey using a blade at blinding speed and drags it into the sand!! What makes mantis shrimp amazing isn't only it’s blinding speed but also its eyes unlike

THE DEADLIEST SNAKE.

                       THE TITANOBOA :

TITANOBOA



Have you ever wondered what the largest snake that ever lived was? Most of you would guess Anaconda, guess what? You are wrong it’s Titanoboa. This ancient snake lived about 58 million years ago. According to scientists, it was the largest predator on the earth for at least 10 million years. Titanoboa could reach 13 meters in length (43 feet) and it weighed just more than a ton (1000 kilograms)!. If you couldn’t imagine its size here’s a comparison, if you lay 2 giraffes on the ground then Titanoboa would still be longer! And when anaconda and Titanoboa are placed side by side the Titanoboa makes anaconda look like a baby as it is twice the size of anaconda. It can easily swallow a hippopotamus. But Titanoboa mostly preferred fish and this monster could be found in dark swamps and rivers. In addition to fish, they could feast on crocodiles. This monster would attack and strangled its prey in its strong embrace then it would swallow the prey as a whole and digest it slowly. The victim would suffer a compression force that is measured up to 400 pounds per square inch! What would happen if Titanoboa lived with us in this modern era! If it lived in this modern era it would probably live in tropical regions and preferred hot climate such as Venezuela, Panama, and Brazil etc... In this case, people would have to protect their house from Titanoboa’s attacks. They would have to electrify their fences and should have a gun in case of an attack. In the case of food rats and mice would not suit the huge beast. It would eat fishes, jaguars, cougars, crocodiles. It would less probably eat humans as it would rarely attack humans. But for people it would be a welcome prize for them any zoo in the world would dream to get this Ancient snake and its skin would be an expensive item. As a result, the food chain would get changed and smaller animals would migrate to a safer spot. The Amazonia jungle slowly gets impoverished although insects and fungi would start to flourish and evolve. Very soon there will be no lush vegetation!

Behind the scenes of Facebook

As most of u guys use Facebook including me, but some of us don’t know the struggle behind it! It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg and his Harvard college mates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. It all happened 17 years ago on the 4th of February 2004. It was created in a dormitory! Before the creation of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg created a website called “facemash” in 2003 while attending Harvard University. It was similar to Hot or Not where it would compile all the photos from the Facebook of all nine houses from Harvard and placing next to each other at a time and asking the users who are hotter. Facemash attracted around 450 visitors and 22,000 photo views in its first 4 hours! It was created due to the frustration of his verbal spat with Priscilla Chan who later married him in 2012. Facemash was shut down a few days later by Harvard Administration. Zuckerberg was charged with breaching security, violating copyrights, and violating individual p

TESLA THE FUTURE FOR CARS

                      Have a cake and eat it too??  INSIDE A TESLA CAR Here’s why your next car should be a tesla. The other day I was browsing on the internet comparing deals on cars, then came a question: should I buy a gasoline car or an electric? I finally pulled the plug and bought a tesla model 3, here’s why you should do the same!!.  For the past three years, I have never been to a gas station, since getting the car in 2018.  Ironically people don’t buy electric cars overcharging concerns, whenever my neighbors ask me “where do you charge your tesla?”I would reply “where do you charge your phone ?”, to which the answer is “at my home!! ”  One convenience factor which is hugely overlooked is the ability to charge your car, overnight during off-peak hours when electricity rates are the cheapest, and when i wake up my car is charged enough to satisfy my daily travel needs, I drive 400 miles per week and after 26,000 miles of driving my home electricity bill went up by a me

Everything that has ever existed eventually dies, so it should come as no surprise that earth is a pretty dangerous place, but where on earth is the most dangerous place? To be specific, where is the most dangerous room on earth? The quick answer is a basement located in Pripyat, Ukraine, how this room came to be is ridiculously interesting and totally worth your time!! https://bonuscontract.com/qj04mwxqsu?key=e668fe2df6b5faa051a9591c478643fc   In 1986 the Chernobyl disaster occurred, reactor number 4 experienced a power surge during a routine overnight test, the temperature inside the reactor core reached massive surge and in an attempt to control, and even greater power surge was caused. Due to numerous design flaws in the reactor two explosions followed from the buildup of steam caused by the explosion of the core!!   This core melted its way through the pipes, concrete becoming nuclear lava of nuclear fuel, contro
