Why Stepping on Spiders is a Horrible Idea

Most people squash spiders without a second thought, but here’s the creepy truth—if you step on a female spider, you could unknowingly unleash a horror movie in your home.

Many species carry hundreds of eggs, and when you crush one, the eggs can stick to your shoes, hatch, and scatter across your floors… Seriously!!

Imagine waking up to a spider invasion you created from the bottom of your shoe!

Instead of smashing them, gently relocate spiders outside. They have a job, they’re nature’s pest control, and keep mosquitoes and other bugs in check!

The Ink Myth Busted: Yes, You Can Write on Yourself

Ever had someone tell you that writing on your hand with a pen will poison you?

Turns out, that’s complete nonsense.

The ink in common ballpoint pens is almost entirely non-toxic, made mostly of dyes and alcohol-based solvents.

Unless you’re guzzling bottles of ink (please don’t), the small amount absorbed through your skin won’t harm you.

The Glass of Water Trick That Lets You Hack Your Dreams

Want to actually remember your dreams?

Here’s a weird but effective brain trick: Drink half a glass of water before bed and finish the other half when you wake up.

It works because the act of drinking signals your brain to form a memory, helping you recall those weird, movie-like adventures from the night before.

This simple hydration hack can turn you into a dream expert—try it and see what your subconscious has been up to!
