None of the artistic portraits or other depictions of Copernicus seem to be all that life like - for centuries the astronomer and mathematician has been remembered as a rather hallowed and gaunt cartoonish character, so, it was only fair when technology and science evolved that they gave us a better picture of what he looks like. Turns out, he looks pretty damn miserable. God bless his tortured, intelligent soul.
But that's the burden of intelligence isn't it? As Oscar Wilde said, it is the stupid and the ugly that have it best in this world. He may have a point considering how absolutely fabulous Copernicus's brain was and how positively glum he looks thanks to the CGI facial reconstruction. At least it's nice to put a more accurate face to the very famous name.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
