Why does drinking alcohol make you dehydrated? šŸøšŸ’§ Alcohol suppresses vasopressin, a hormone that helps kidneys reabsorb water via aquaporins, so you lose more fluid as urine, causing that familiar dehydrated feeling 🧪

The first planned migration of an entire country due to climate change is happening! Tuvalu, a Pacific island nation, is at risk of being submerged under rising sea level, so it has signed an agreement with Australia to allow 280 Tuvaluans to settle in Australia as permanent residents each year.

Scotland is, as I’ve long maintained, an elaborate prank:

• Fatty cutties, a girdle cake • Festy cock, an oatmeal pancake • Fruit slice or Flies' graveyard, sweet pastries with currants or raisins • Granny sookers, sour, hard, boiled sweet or a peppermint sweet, also known as a pan drop • Hawick balls, peppermint-flavoured boiled sweet • Jethart Snails, boiled sweets in the shape of a snail • Lucky tattie, white fondant with cassia, covered with cinnamon • Moffat toffee, notable for its tangy but sweet centre
