SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
A new Australian study suggests that reaching for a diet soda might come with unexpected health risks. Researchers found that drinking just one artificially sweetened soft drink daily—like Diet Coke or Pepsi Max—can increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 38%. And weirdly, that’s even higher than the 23% risk tied to full-sugar sodas. The 14-year study tracked over 36,000 adults and revealed that both sugar- and artificially-sweetened drinks were linked to a significantly greater risk. Experts say the findings challenge the idea that diet drinks are a safer choice.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Jason Momoa is officially back in ‘Duncan Idaho’ mode. Ahead of filming “Dune: Part Three,” the actor shared a video of himself shaving his beard for the first time in 6 years to get back into character. Momoa said the last time he shaved was for filming the original “Dune” remake, which came out in 2021. In the vid, he says: “Only for you, Denis,” referring to Dune filmmaker Denis Villeneuve. He later added: “I hate it.” Dune: Part Three is expected to arrive in theaters in December 2026. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3329vdtb
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won’t be bringing part of Hulk Hogan’s life to the big screen after all – and the decision has nothing to do with his recent passing. The stars’ production company, Artists Equity, isn’t moving forward with the project, which hasn’t been in development for some time. The decision was made before Hogan’s death, and it’s unclear why they decided to pull the plug on the film.
DID YA KNOW!?
Comets smell like rotten eggs. A comet smells like rotten eggs, urine, burning matches, and… almonds. Traces of hydrogen sulphide, ammonia, sulphur dioxide, and hydrogen cyanide were all found in the makeup of the comet 67P/Churyumove-Gerasimenko. Promotional postcards were even commissioned in 2016 carrying the pungent scent of a comet.

Feeling mentally drained? A new survey suggests the fix might be just one trip away. According to a poll of 2,000 Americans, most people feel about 67% better mentally after traveling. And the more often someone travels, the better their mental health tends to be. The study, a part of Talker Research’s new travel trends report, found a clear connection between mental well-being and a love for travel. People who rated their mental health as excellent were way more likely to call themselves passionate travelers — 40% said they travel multiple times a year and view it as a lifestyle. On the flip side, those with poor mental health were more likely to call travel stressful and avoid it altogether. The survey revealed that for many, travel seems to act like a reset button — helping people escape daily stress and gain fresh perspective.

WEIRD NEWS
She finally said yes! After seven years, 42 rejections, and countless creative attempts, a determined UK man finally got the answer he’d been waiting for. 36-year-old Luke Wintrip proposed to his longtime partner, Sarah, a staggering 43 times before she accepted. The couple, who met in 2018, tied the knot in May, following a years-long journey filled with grand gestures—from candlelit castle dinners to horseback rides in Jamaica. Sarah initially turned down his proposals, saying she wasn’t ready so soon after a previous relationship and while raising 3 daughters. But Luke’s persistence paid off in 2023, when Sarah accepted his 43rd proposal during a romantic moment in London. The story has since gone viral, with clips of his many rejections—and final success—capturing hearts online.
