For your random fact of the day, here’s one: In a way, the user starryserenade is right. In a 2021 (2022) paper, Dr. Hyun-Woo Lee and his colleagues researched the effect of background music used in ads on consumers’ psychological and physiological responses. They found that music did affect users’ interest in the product, resulting in higher purchase rates.

#9 Shower Thoughts On Running
If you run at 11pm you are a night person. If you run at 5am you are a morning person. If you run at 3am you are a suspicious person.
A fascinating yet weird thing to think about: Exercising in the morning can lead to better sleep at night. According to a 2014 paper, if you go for a run at 7 a.m., you’re likely to spend more time in deep sleep. Therefore, exercising late at night, like running at 11 p.m., can make it harder for the body to wind down and prepare for sleep, potentially leading to poorer overall sleep quality.

#15 Shower Thoughts On Sun
It’s weird to think that nighttime is the natural state of the universe and daytime is only caused by a nearby, radiating ball of flame.
A weird thing to think about: While the universe appears dark and empty to the naked eye, it’s not how it actually is. According to NASA, “space isn’t absolutely black.” In fact, there are millions upon millions of stars. Astronomers believe there are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way alone . And beyond that, there are millions upon millions of other galaxies out there! The reason it appears black and empty is that our eyes lack the ability to zoom in like a telescope, making the vastness of space seem void.
