Gotta be smarter than the scammers

How much longer a day on Uranus just got. Scientists studied a decade of data from the Hubble Space Telescope to more accurately measure the planet’s rotation. Turns out it now takes 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds for one full spin. Hey, why don’t scientists trust Uranus? Because it’s always up to something cheeky. Come on, that was funny.

Of employees have been backstabbed at work. The main culprits? Gen Z and millennials, who are twice as likely to throw someone under the bus to climb the ladder. One in four workers say their boss has set them up to fail. Coworkers by day, betrayal speedrunners by lunch.

That’s the success rate for robot-assisted surgeries. Doctors often use 3D glasses and chopstick-like hand tools, which the robot mimics using tiny instruments. The tech filters out hand tremors and makes less invasive cuts, meaning patients heal faster with fewer complications. Pretty amazing. If R2-D2 tells me to count backward, I’m trusting the process.

Your workweek in 10 years. Bill Gates thinks that’ll happen thanks to AI (paywall link). It may sound lazy, but we’ll be getting even more done. Cities like Tokyo are already testing a four-day workweek to boost birth rates. Next time you feel burned out, just picture those five-day weekends ahead.

How much you’re going to pay for a discontinued Trader Joe’s mini tote bag on eBay. The “Honey, I Shrunk the Tote Bag” version of its classic canvas tote was $3 in-store. Today, you’d need a small personal loan and a dream. 

The number of years since spring started this windy. March 2025 was the second windiest March on record across the contiguous U.S. since 1940. Michigan took gold with its windiest March ever, while nine other states logged their second windiest. Chances are your patio umbrella never stood a chance. 

That’s how many hours MrBeast and his crew were allowed to explore the Great Pyramids of Giza. The YouTube megastar teamed up with Egypt’s Ministry of Tourism and famed archaeologist Zahi Hawass to film a 21-minute whirlwind through ancient tombs, submerged chambers and more in tunnels tighter than a Mario Kart shortcut. And just because … How many Egyptians can you fit in a pyramid? A pharaoh mount. 😂

That’s about how much a Michigan man made by selling counterfeit airbags on eBay. Authorities seized 1,600 of them, many missing inflators entirely. So basically, crash dummies were safer than some real drivers.
