"May all your delulu come trululu, because being delulu is the solulu." The clip you just listened to comes from American influencer Bianca Bernardo on Tiktok, and it’s had over 2/3 million views at the time of recording. If you’re wondering what the heck those crazy words mean, it’s best summed up as saying: “may all your fantasies turn into reality”. 

Indeed, the delulu hashtag has racked up over 6 billion views on TikTok. And it’s more than just an online trend; delulu is genuinely morphing into something of philosophy, or coping mechanism for Gen Z to deal with reality.

The world of cinema is full of films and sagas which leave their mark on a generation, sometimes becoming cult films. And another phenomenon is becoming more and more common: that of the spin off. Spin-off films involve the creation of a new work based on the original, focusing on the story of a secondary character.

There are a number of reasons why directors and screenwriters have chosen to carry out such projects. In the last few years, cinema has been met with strong competition from the world of series. Whereas before, the quality was close to that of a good TV film, these days series are able to match films blow for blow, both in terms of screenplay and production budget. SON - punch There’s another clear advantage, which is that series aren’t limited in time the same way as films are. From one season to the next, they can easily go into greater depth on a character's back story.

Why are they so important for cinematic works? Why do fans love them so much? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We spend a good deal of our time at work, 35 hours a week or more. It's an integral part of our lives, so if you can it's always best to surround yourself with good colleagues. They make work not only more enjoyable but stimulating. 

Their support and collaboration also helps to create a positive environment where teamwork leads to tackling problems and finding solutions. However, when we don't get along with our co-workers, time moves slowly, worse still is when you find yourself compensating for their shoddy work or having to work around them. But by far the worst situation is when the problem of incompetence comes from above. This situation has a name: the working environment becomes a kakistocracy.

What does it mean? How do incompetent people get to positions of power in the first place? Is it possible to overthrow a kakistocracy? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Numerous archaeological findings have suggested that dogs were the first animals to be domesticated by humans over 20,000 years ago. So it’s little surprise that in this day and age, 29% of UK adults own a dog. That’s according to 2023 data from vet charity PDSA. 

If you have a dog, you may have been told that you share physical characteristics with it, a sort of family resemblance if you like. Well, as it turns out, this popular belief might be more than just a myth.

Is there any scientific evidence behind that ? But how does this all add up ? What about other types of pet animals ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

The number of moles we have on our bodies largely depends on sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Most people have 10 to 45 moles that appear during childhood and the teenage years.” Moles can vary in thickness, shape, colour, and they sometimes even have hair. They can pop up between your toes, on your scalp, on your earlobes or under your nails-anywhere really.

Rest assured, most of the time these small brown spots are completely harmless, but still it’s worth knowing some key info about moles. That's especially true given they can sometimes be cancerous, turning into a type of skin cancer called melanoma. According to Cancer Research UK, “there are around 16,700 new melanoma skin cancer cases in the UK every year.”

What are moles actually made of ? Which genetic factors are at play then ? How can you tell if a mole is dangerous ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

All personal development coaches emphasise the importance of setting goals, even ones that may seem out of reach at first. Doing so not only boosts motivation but also enables gradual achievement. 

Nowadays a lot of people find this kind of approach almost second nature, but others struggle with it. A fear of failure, workplace anxiety, and a lack of self-confidence can make ambition seem unattainable. 

What does the S.M.A.R.T. acronym stand for then? But is goal-setting actually an effective approach? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

A lot of people think that morning erections are triggered by erotic dreams, or a need to pee, but in fact they're a physiological reflex linked to sleep. That’s right - they’re not dependent on sexual arousal at all.

And in a somewhat similar way, women actually also experience increased blood flow to the clitoris during the night. Now, the scientific term for a nighttime erection is nocturnal penile tumescence, or NPT for short, and men get a few each night on average. They occur during REM sleep phases, which make up around 20% of total sleep time. 

What exactly is REM sleep? Are you saying it’s an involuntary reflex then? What if I stop experiencing morning erections? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
