Even in the world of Wikipedia and Google, there are still questions that are difficult to answer, or that can't be solved by using the usual routes. Once upon a time people would sit down and look through an encyclopedia, but who's got time for that now? Instead, they just text or message someone in the hope they'll get an answer. And if the question can't be answered properly, at least they might get an amusing response.
That's the idea behind AQA (Any Question Answered), a website that lets you set yourself up as a fountain of knowledge and answer any query that comes your way. So long as you can provide an informative, witty answer within a few minutes of the question being asked, you get paid for every response you make. This is a money-making route that rewards those with quick fingers and quick minds. It relies on your ability to answer large volumes of questions, but it can be made to work.
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.
