39. Foreign Film

When you have a job to do, you have to do it even if you don't know what you're doing. In this case, the editor knew they had to finish the film, yet they didn't know any Chinese. Rather than move to China, learn Chinese, and then come back to finish the job, they just went for it. I actually really like how upfront and honest they are. They could have tried to guess what the guy was saying, but that wouldn't be fair to literally put words in the guy's mouth. At least this way we feel a little more connected to the editor.

The thing about subtitles is you can't really trust them if you don't know the language. Who wrote the subtitles? I had a friend who wrote subtitles and he was just some stoner. He didn't care about the job. You could be watching a foreign film subtitled by some twenty year old stoner.

Did You Know...

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.
