🍍Coalesced Berries🍍

    What is are coalesced berries?? You may be asking yourself this. Well coalesced berries are in fact pineapples. It makes great smoothies, barbecue, houses, yes, houses, the list goes on and on. Pineapples are found in almost every grocery store, and are enjoyed by most people. But did you know that...

    1. Pineapples grow on bushes...
CRAZY RIGHT?

    2. Pineapples are actually made up of berries(if you didn't catch that already)...
(you can see that pineapples have a central axis around which a cluster of fruiting flowers form. The plant's ovaries grow into berries which then form the shape of a pineapple)

    
    3. And... pineapples contain Bromelain...
(what is bromelain??? Well, bromelain is an enzyme that breaks down the proteins in meat and flesh... yes, this includes your mouth. This is why your mouth feels numb after eating pineapples.

Strange Phobias

Strange Phobias

     I don't really have any way to begin this post. Lets just say some people are stranger than others. 

    1. Pteronophobia is the fear of being tickled by feathers, or they are just afraid of feathers. This can include any birds, or a feather pillow, or just a feather on the ground. 

    2. Xanthophobia, the fear of anything yellow, can cause any panic attacks when those who suffer from it see something yellow; including the sun, a flower, or even a crayon. Worse cases can cause a person to panic when they hear the word yellow. Poor Pikachu... 

    3. Turophobia, fear of cheese. This can be the fear of one or all cheeses. Its usually associated with a traumatic event, a memory. 

    4. Hylophobia, is the fear of trees. This fear is usually caused by watching films or reading fairy tales that have scary events in forests. 

    5. Ombrophobia, being the fear of rain can be triggered by many things. Many children who are told not to go outside when it's raining often suffer from this phobia because they begin to believe that there is something out there that is going to harm them.

    That's all I have for you today, if you would like to know more strange phobias, let me know in the comments below. Until next week 👋

Totoro, god of death?

Totoro, God of Death?


    Many individuals portray Totoro as a kind, cuddly, warm creature from the film "My Neighbor Totoro". On the other hand, many people have been looking into the conspiracy that Totoro is actually a god of death. If you haven't seen this movie, read on at your own risk. There will be spoilers.  

    Rumors tell that those who can see Totoro are dead or close to death. When Mei (the youngest sister in the movie) goes missing and a sandal is found in the river, everyone believes she has drowned. As soon as Satsuki (the other sister) states that it isn't Mei's sandal she runs off to find Totoro. (It is said earlier in the movie that Totoro gets to choose when he will let people in to see him) Satsuki finds Totoro and he fetches a "bus" for her. The "bus takes Satsuki to Mei, who is found crying by some statues. Those statues happen to resemble Jizo Statues, which are placed to protect travelers, the weak, children of miscarriages, or lost children; due to this coincidence, people believe that Mei had died and was being watched over by the statues until Satsuki came along to get her.

    At the end of the movie, Mei and Satsuki go to the hospital to see their mother. The only one who was able to notice them, or think they could see them was the mother. This shows that the mother passes away later because she was able to see them. Pretty freaky stuff. 😀
