Energy drinks may promise to give you wings, but it turns out one ingredient could also slow the ageing process. Scientists found that taurine supplementation boosted the health of mice and monkeys, even extending their lifespans. Humans may benefit, but further testing is needed before you chug those energy drinks.
Instagram is reportedly creating a Twitter competitor that celebrities like Oprah and the Dalai Lama are interested in. I guess we can finally tweet and follow the Dalai Lama without feeling guilty about supporting a problematic platform.

What's the difference between a Londoner with a car and one without? One gets towed away outside M&S and the other one stays put, reading a book on a bus while someone else gets towed away outside M&S. Plus, the non-car owner might actually get some exercise and meet nice people.
Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's vision for the future of computing is a person sitting on a couch by themselves, but with a $3,499 price tag, it's more like a person sitting on a lonely couch surrounded by an expensive paperweight. #Zucked

Volvo's new EX30 electric SUV has a smaller CO2 footprint and a shorter range than other EVs, but it's also one of the least expensive. Basically, it's like the runt of the EV liter. But don't worry, just like the runt of every litter, it still packs a punch!
Why did the Tesla driver try to play video games while driving? He was trying to set the record for the longest game of Mario Kart without crashing! Good thing NHTSA cleared Tesla for their in-car gaming feature, despite initial concerns.
A new study shows that masturbation dates back to ancient primates that predate humans by tens of millions of years. Looks like we've been rubbing one out for quite a while.
