Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't. He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies. She said yes. Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway. Then he bred them. The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear. Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10. A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations. -Wilderness Whisper

Cool your potatoes. Seriously. Chris Kresser on JRE dropped a wild tip: bake or boil a potato, let it cool, and the resistant starch forms. It won’t spike your blood sugar like a hot one does. Even better, the potato diet. Eat plain potatoes (cooled) for days and people drop half a pound a day on average. Spontaneous calorie drop + gut microbiome feast. Cooling cooked potatoes creates resistant starch, which acts like fiber, it resists digestion in the small intestine, feeds beneficial gut bacteria, and lowers the glycemic response, helping with blood sugar control and satiety. Simple, old-school hack that actually works.

FIRST ON LOTT: Wesley Ford, the man who was fired from @Chilis for refusing to use made-up pronouns, spoke with us after he went viral for standing up to woke gender ideology. "Libs of TikTok picked it up and shared it... the moment that happened, EVERYTHING changed... The amount of messages and support I got, it just started pouring in!" "Americans are sick of this. This is not a Republican or Democrat thing... people are just tired of this being forced upon them."

Unpopular opinion but I am going to say it. Women shouldn’t be in positions of power. Liberal women are the reason why our society has decayed so much. I said what I said.

Dollywood started their new drink system where you buy a soda and have to scan a QR code to get the drink You are only allowed to fill the drink for a set amount of time, depending on the ounces you purchased America is not a high trust society, so now refills are not allowed and every ounce accounted for. Multiple places throughout America are implementing this same QR system The soda machine cuts you off when you’ve reached your limit We shouldn’t have to live like this
