Discover Daily by Perplexity

Threads' Milestone, Ancient Aboriginal Rituals, and Nuclear-Powered Data Centers

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!

In this episode of Discover Daily, we explore three fascinating stories that span the realms of technology, ancient culture, and energy innovation. We begin with Meta's social media platform Threads, which has surpassed 175 million monthly active users as it approaches its first anniversary. We delve into its rapid growth, challenges, and ongoing developments as it aims to become a major player in the social media landscape.

Next, we uncover a remarkable archaeological discovery in southeastern Australia that provides evidence of an Aboriginal ritual dating back 12,000 years. This finding sheds light on one of the world's oldest continuous cultural practices and demonstrates the enduring nature of Indigenous traditions. Finally, we examine how the data center industry is turning to nuclear power to meet the growing energy demands of AI and high-performance computing. We explore the potential benefits and challenges of this shift, including regulatory hurdles, technology readiness, and public perception issues.
