We've already seen paper made out of ice, so what about something to print on it? While scientists haven't found a way to feed ice through a desktop inkjet (yet), there is one nifty device that might be able to do the job. It's a portable, single line printer, and it rolls across the surface of pretty much anything to print. And did we mention it's the size of an apple?
It's interesting that this would be described as modern technology, because like we discussed before, theoretically if this was the future, the use of paper should be dead. Sadly, that's probably not going to happen for a long time, so this mad printer will have to serve as the future instead. You've gotta admit, it does look like something out of Blade Runner.
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.
