Just learned that the “tingly” feeling you get using toothpaste was added in the 50s as an effect to make you feel like the product is “working.” It creates a neurological craving, addicting you to that “clean feeling” after brushing. From the book, The Power of Habit

Most consumers turn right when they enter a store. Retailers know this (based on thousands of hours of video tapes), so they stock high margin products that they want you to buy first on the right side of the entry way. From the book, The Power of Habit.

I usually try to avoid twitter drama, but I saw a thread last night from
@FoldableHuman
that was just uninformed enough that I feel the need to chime in. Much of the thread stemmed from oversimplification and misleading assumptions:
I don't want to be doom and gloom, but Patreon is about to eat itself. Or, more specifically, the investors who demand geometric growth are about to demand Patreon eat itself.

While McCartney was recording vocals for the song “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer,” Lennon mooned him from behind the glass in the studio. Paul chuckled, and they ended up using THAT vocal take in the final mix. Listen at 1:21 and you can hear Paul laughing. Bunch of kids.
