Sunscreen is essential when on holiday, and in the summer in general. But it doesn’t come cheap, and often the contents aren’t fully used by the time the holiday is over. It’s tempting to reuse bottles from one year to the next, to save money and reduce waste.

How can I tell if my sunscreen has expired? What are the risks of using out-of-date sunscreen? What steps should I take to stay safe? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

COVID-19 lockdowns led to the revolutionary rise of remote work. But while working remotely may have been a necessary adaptation made during an unprecedented global health crisis, many experts say that not only is remote work here to stay, it will even continue to increase as we head into 2023.

Employees save time and money by not having to commute, and they essentially have more control over their work environment, which can lead to increased creativity. With jobs becoming less location-specific, businesses can also benefit, one example being that they have a larger pool of talent to hire from.

What are the main benefits? Is going fully remote the best work model? What can we expect remote work to look like in the future? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

Back in 2015, 10,000 participants at Newcastle University’s Numbers Festival were asked what their favourite number was. Perhaps unsurprisingly, 12.6% of them answered the number seven, making it the most popular number of them all.

Some said they didn't know why they chose seven, but as you know, the number tends to have positive connotations and is associated with luck in particular. That’s especially true in Western societies.

How far back does the legend of lucky number seven go? How has the concept of luck contributed to the number seven's prominence? Are there any scientific or logical reasons behind the number seven's lucky reputation? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Arranging your fridge isn't just a way to save space. It's primarily about ensuring optimal preservation of food products and thus preventing the proliferation of bacteria. According to UK Research and Innovation, there are around 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness in the country every year.

First and foremost, it's important to know that fridges with ventilated or circulated cold air have a more consistent temperature than those with static cold air. In the latter case, the temperature varies based on the distance from the cold source, so you should start by identifying the coldest area of your fridge.

What should be stored in the coldest part? Should packaging be removed? How should you be cleaning your fridge? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We’ve already talked about narcissistic abusers in a previous episode of Do You Really Know? Let’s refresh your memory: narcissistic abusers, or NAs for short, are people with manipulative tendencies, who inflict a range of toxic behaviours on their target and position themselves as victims.

Now NA-victim relationships don’t always exist solely between two individuals. There can be one or more additional figures in this dynamic – that of the accomplice. And the accomplices of NAs are actually known as Flying Monkeys.

Where does this term come from? How do NAs choose their flying monkeys? What strategies can you use to handle flying monkeys effectively? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

They were played by James Vanderbeck, Michelle Williams, Joshua Jackson and Katie Holmes respectively. The main character is Dawson, hence the name of the series, and his dream is to make it as a cinema director or scriptwriter.

Young people have much less of an appetite for sex these days, it seems. The phenomenon has been labelled a “sex recession” in the media and terms like “puriteens” have emerged to describe sex-shy youngsters. 

Studies have backed up the idea of a sex recession too. One published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal in November 2021 found that the proportion of adolescents reporting no sexual activity is on the rise.

What factors explain the celibacy trend? Sex positivity seemed to be all the rage these days, what happened to that? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
