Social media down: Has the apocalypse begun
Few hours before the time of writing this article I tried logging into my Facebook, I logged in alright but, something was off. My messages weren't loading and I sincerely needed to chat a friend up. Well I gave it a rest thinking it might be a slight network issue, I tried using vpn but same results, I downloaded a movie from the internet and it went quite smoothly and fast, this time I was sure it wasn't the internet it was Facebook. Realizing I had no notifications from my WhatsApp,I opened the chatting app to find out the same thing, with the same response from my Twitter I came to a conclusion that ‘all social media Network is down, and a dreadful apocalypse has begun' not so long from then my brother walks in complaining he couldn't get in touch with his girlfriend, his complaints promoted me to type into Google.
We longed feared a time when online privacy would be nothing more than the Pages of a news paper, read by every one. Probably our fears have come true, probably it's just the beginning, probably the system has crashed and the bitter truth about our lives are coming to exposure;
Turn on your television, tune into the news channels; BBC, CNN, and most local and international news broadcasting companies are talking, figuring the grave issue whatsapp took to Twitter ( it is believed WhatsApp was the very first to crash) to try to calm down their customers, in their words the issue is being addressed, in summary; you need not to worry, although we don't know the cause, a solution will be drawn out. I'm not buying all this? Are you? After a moment I feared Google would crash also. Google being a fundamental necessity in almost all smart phones and other computing devices, it would be certainly catastrophic.
After much critical thinking I see that it drops to two things; either the social network giants were hacked or it's a strategy to infiltrate our chats and privacy, to plant bugs in the system to spy on every user of their networks, do you think you can feel safe with your chats after this ? Has the powers above finally taken over everyone; for now we don't know the cause, but we know it's more than just a regular crash. A crash affecting all Mark Zuckerberg's companies has to be something. But why them? Sincerely I do not think we would get an answer to that and if we would it will possibly be a lie to cover up the hurting truth.
You might wonder how to get in touch with your relatives, since whatsapp, Instagram, Facebook, and in some cases Twitter are all Down. Well you still have telegram, infact almost everyone are now shifting to telegram, I had to send messages to @Kristofferquincy there instead of the basic WhatsApp, you can also get in contact with friends using any other social media apps you know personally, for Nigerians I recommend ayoba, although I've not tried it personally it could still be really handy till when your main and favourite social media apps are freed up . **Things are about to change and it's going to get really nasty**......***brace for impact.***
What exactly do you think is going on, would you still feel safe with your chats? Personally I wouldn't, and again we cannot blame the social medias has it is not their fault there was a bug or a slight malfunction in the structure of the system. I want to know what you think about this development and the problems you've had in the comment section below.
Body parts we Don't ever use ( no. 2 would shock you)
Of all unnecessary things and materials in this world, it's almost absurd to think some of these could be our very own body parts. I mean which part of your body would you not need? I'm going to review every organ body parts and body system that is not necessary in any way, without further ado let's begin.
Appendix:
The appendix is one of the most popular useless organs we all know about. But is it really useless, the appendix is very famous for collecting trash all through an human life, that's right all the stones,and indigestible food(seeds) you've consumed are gathered up in the appendix. The appendix in it's prime days served has an extra digestive tract to digest raw food, but since humans discovered fire and cooking was invented there was no need for this organ and due to depression consumed it self to become the small fella that regular stores up infection and disease. You read that right your appendix would cause a disease called appendicitis, which is caused by the swelling of the appendix due to infection and yes of course when it's full. Although humanity discarded this organ, it's still very active in most animals.
Pinky toe:
Personally I really love my toe. Always pictured it has a little princess that needs lots of day care. But still it's among those useless body parts you never really need or use. But it's on my feet I hear you say, well yes, but we do not actually use this toe to walk, it's almost like a decoration so that we wouldn't look weird. Back in the days when our ancestors were climbers ( mountains, rocks and trees) like the monkeys our toes were actually longer and more muscular, we were probably able to control the muscles on our feet. With this we could probably finish a tour de France 10 times over without our legs feeling tired, joking, but seriously though our feet could have probably sprinted 100× faster than the average modern man. Soon man kind stopped being stupid and started going for the easy way outs to things and with time the once most used body part became retarded.
nictitating membranes:
Have you ever watched a documentary and it seems some whitish or blurry substance envelopes their eye well this substance is called a nictitating membrane. It's actually pretty frightening to watch birds eye go from blind white to normal, it gives you a sense of how upgraded humans are by unconsciously closing our eye lid instead of going partially zombie mode. Make no mistake not only birds have this dogs do and cats,let's just say almost all regular pets do, but it's not very prominent in them( they blink) compared to the birds that fly at break-neck speeds in the air. Ours has compressed it self after years of no use, I guess it is called *plica semilunaris.*
Human hair:
Has crazy as it may seem, that black, brown, blond hair you love and cherish so much and spend a lot on it. You don't actually need it. The main purpose of the human hair to for insulation and temperature regulation aside that nothing else, of course unless you're repunzel then you can use your hair has a bridge. Any way it may seem humans don't actually have enough hair to serve our temperature regulation need. If I feel cold like every normal human I tuck into my jacket, sweater, or blanket. Although no denial that a very little amount of hair is needed. And our hair is a sign of maturity and well growth.
Gall bladder:
The gallbladder is located under the liver on the upper right side of the abdomen, just below the ribs. It stores the bile. The Bile is kind of a chemical substance created by the breaking down of red blood cells in the liver. It aids digestion of some good stuffs, so when not in use the gall bladder pockets it. When the intestines notice fats, the gallbladder contracts, forcing bile into the intestines to aid the digestion of fat. But, excess cholesterol in bile can form gallstones, which can block the tiny canals that move the bile. When this happens, people may need their gallbladder removed surgically.
$590k! What will I do with such amount?
I read @jane article titled ‘590k crypto portfolio what to do now' I guess it was the inspiration for this post. I've been trying to Contemplate what I will do if I had such a huge amount at my finger tips. Will I go over board? Will I spend it all and forget to plan for the future? Or will I keep it for the future. I bet @HappyBoy would really want to read this. https://read.cash/@Jane/590k-crypto-portfolio-what-to-do-now-23d63808
Having such a huge amount in any account can be tempting and somewhat a burden in the long run. They say money is the root of all evil, I guess that will be the moment I understand what they meant by that. Because of the crashing currency of my country $590k is another level of wealth, using last week dollar rate I guess what would be ₦336,300,000. With such amount I have no problem living comfortably in the country, but I can't also keep such amount in the account for nothing or probably invest all; I would probably end up like KSI who lost about £7mil trading in BTC, he stated clearly that he was greedy. I guess my expenses would be a little much wouldn't it.
A new home:
It would take less than $100k to buy or build from scratch a new home. I don't think I want to go through the stress of building one I guess I could search for an agent and buy a home in comfortable states like Lagos. My taste for a house is not too exquisite, a regular home that could fit my family of four perfectly without any qualms would do although I always dreamed of a transparent roof top In a part of the house, I guess that will cost a lot. Oh damn I forgot, I'm rich, I would probably ask my family individually for their opinion about the interior and exterior decorations and structure of a new house, with that said I guess I still have about $490k.
Cars:
Like I told @King_Gozie earlier when I commented to his post titled ‘from $590k to $0, how?', I'm a car freak. Although the remaining amount is not enough to get my dream car, I could still get something classy for my self. I guess a ₦20mil Audi and a Mercedes Benz would do. I don't know exactly which brand to buy, but any brand it is I'm sure it's going to be exotic. I would naturally go for a Ferrari 458, a Lamborghini huracan sto, although the amount remaining could afford the two cars, I would still spend a lot on maintenance, I guess it is not worth it. https://read.cash/@King_Gozie/from-590k-to-0-how-6cfcab46
Computers;
For less than $10k I could buy a good computer set up. A stylus pen, a more advanced tablet probably an iPad, a desktop computer and many more. With this I could continue my dream of graphic designs, programming and all that. And that also includes creating digital graphic arts for NFTs (the only way to keep the stability is by making more money). Of I could make a little more amount of money from NFTS I would probably be less concerned about my expenses don't you think. Also with the computers I could open a business online using my programming skills, that's brilliant don't you think.
Travelling:
Like anyone else I guess I would need a vacation or two with a maximum expense of about $45k, I don't think I would spend that much but you never know what you might come across on your voyage; some art work, a beautiful but complex machine to make life easier, a warm spa for VIPs that charges much. A private tour guide that also charges high, I guess there are lot of things to spend money on in a foreign land, buy this, buy that. It's never going to end. So far I guess I have spent about $190,087 , I have about $399,913 left.
So with the rest what am I going to do with it: I guess I'm going to fix about $200,000 in my bank account, leave $100,000 for my extra expenses like food and donate the rest to various homes of the needy round the country with all that in check I guess I still have a lot to go about. And I could make more money from trading some of my $100k, hope I didn't you with my thoughts, let me know what you think about my expenses in the comment section.
A test of strength: which beast ranks the top
I go inspired by @NakamotoBch to write this post after I read his article ‘ 10 most dangerous animals in the world' https://read.cash/@NakamotoBch/the-10-most-dangerous-animals-in-the-world-312c7afa
Well this time around I decided to review the most fierce and brutal animals in Africa well, Africa has one of the most populated wild big animals in the world. So let's take a little dive into nature.
Lions;
Lions are basically one of the most majestic and proud big cats in Africa. These ferocious big cats move in prides and a lion's pride consists of a few male and females with their cubs. You don't want them charging at you has the can run up to 80km/h, just so you know the fastest a man can go is roughly about 45km/h they could run approximately twice the speed of a man. Don't get wowed yet, a swipe of their claw could behead a fully grown human, not forgetting that the adult male could weigh up to 190kg. So you have an animal the size of a mini van that runs with the speed of a scooter after you, that will be one nightmare you would wish to wake up from.
Hyena;
Hyenas are basically the laughing psychopath of the jungle. Please do not engaged this animals they aren't friendly. They are not jesters, their vocals are merely limited to laughing and howling. They attack in packs and devour pretty much anything in their path in a whim, hyenas can't engage a lion in battle that's quite rude they can only succeed in their numbers. One important thing to know is that they have hierarchy more like queens to the lowest ranks.
Cheetahs;
Cheetahs are basically the fastest animals in the jungle. They could run at a speed of about 80-130 km/h now if that's not wild I don't know what is. They could basically get hold of their prey before it's first few kicking steps. You don't want this beast after you. But unlike the hyenas and looks cheetahs are more or less timid in the aspect that they have more fear than any other big cats. And they are not your average big cats, I guess they are considered big cats because of their speed and their sounds are less frightening than the Lions roaring, they sound like Little fluffy puppies. Ever wondered why they have black striped fur on their face ( eye region) it's to reduce the reflection of sunlight and improve their eyesight has they approach crazy speeds.
Crocs;
They are big bad and frightening reptiles. You don't want them at your back yard. When hungry they are ruthless. They could probably snap a man in half if they wanted too. One of their killing mechanism is their death roll. They trap their prey in the grasp of their muscle infested jaws and spin violently till the body part snaps off. They are simply a nightmare and I bet you don't want to fall in a crocodile river, if you infact get stuck in one, the chances of survival is.....at least you cloth will make it out.
Hippos;
Hippopotamus are basically a river bus. This huge fat living proof of terror are capable of crushing down on Crocs and alligators. Crocs literally respect them and it's funny to see baby hippos sniffing around on Crocs in the river and sometimes stepping on them and yet the Crocs do not retaliate in anyway. Why would they, their heads would be served to the king of the river;the hippos. Don't dare underestimate their size, they could easily run up to 48km/h yes that means they could run up to an average man in the jungle so you would have to power up to about 50km/h to beat their speed.
Rhinos;
Rhinoceros are big, bad and they are your average doctors in the jungle with their spiky horn that extends from their head. Rhinos are not really the deadly type, they are like your average man; Love a little space, and they are not at all forgiving. So you don't want any trouble it's best advised you keep your distance. Just like the others don't even think of out running this mighty beast, yeh could run up to 50km/h and are known for their deadly blows they deliver from their head. They are like the now extinct dinosaurs, big scaly reptiles. I guess time went well with them.
Which animal do you count had the baddest and most cruel. Let me know in the comment section.
The most anticipated movie of 2020 is back.
Extraction is undoubtedly the best movie ever streamed on Netflix. From it's undiluted combat and stunts to it's unpredictable story line, this movie gave people chills the moment it's trailer was released back in 2019. No one absolutely no one expected so this much from the marvel actor Chris Hemsworth. If you've not seen this movie, you should.
The story tells us about tells us about a black market mercenary ( Chris Hemsworth) whose life was a mess following the death of his son and divorce of his wife, is hired to rescue the kidnapped son of a imprisoned international criminal. He faced with problems from mafias to drug Lord's and corrupt military officials. After days of gunship battle with various militants and street rats, he successfully rescued the boy at the cost of his own life.
Before his consciousness fades away he thinks about his son and falls at a peak height from a bridge. The ending scenes shows the boy in a swimming pool around the corner the figure of a man that looked like Tyler rake ( Chris Hemsworth). After this fans have raised question about the Chris Hemsworth character “ is he dead or alive" . The only response they got from the marvel directors was“If some viwers feel like the story is complete and is a story of redemption through sacrifice, then for them, it’ll be where the kid is imagining Tyler Rake standing there, and If you feel like you love Tyler Rake and Chris Hemsworth, and you’re like ‘There’s no way, you can’t kill him’ then that’s Tyler Rake standing there looking at you”. This got fans confused although it didn't stop their enthusiasm for the movie.
Recently a teaser for the second season of the sequel was released and this got fans screaming form excitement. This means Tyler rake the character Chris Hemsworth plays iss not at all dead and was probably rescued. Now that's a big kudos to the directors for listening to the fans. Now for a little review to what you should be expecting in the next season of extraction.
The teaser starts with the ending of the previous season where Tyler rake was shot and fell into a river from the bridge he stood.
The next scene shows Tyler swimming back up while a similar voice ( that of the boy) says “ Tyler you drowned not by falling into the river but by staying sub washed in it" then in the last scene to confirm Tyler was alive ‘#rakelives ' pops up in the video.
Nothing much was shown in the trailer well probably because it was a teaser, now fans are waiting for more trailers in the following months to come. The movie is set to be released mid 2022 we are not expecting it in Cinemas though has it is a Netflix movie. What do you think about the movie and my review, and also what you want to see in the next season.
Gone forever: death of kurama ( Naruto series)
Almost all anime fans know about the Naruto series that started airing back in 2002 and we saw an advancement around 2007 till date. We all know about the story of Naruto a wimpy kid and the son of an hokage (king of the hidden leaf village) whose status had to be reduced to a commoner and name changed following the death of his parents in order to protect him. His father had sealed a ferocious beast in him, in a last attempt to protect his village. We saw the story of Naruto from the regular series where he aspired to become the hokage also till the Naruto Shippuden series where he finally attained the goal of being noticed and accepted by everyone till the boruto series which majorly focused on his son boruto, but we see he finally attained his dream of being hokage.
Through the series we see he had finally made friends with the beast sealed in him, which is quite hard to believe giving to the fact that this beast killed his parents in their attempt to suppress its power.
Naruto lived all his life with the beast in him creating an unbreakable bond between them. They share ideas,power and,beliefs with each other and in battle together they are one unstoppable Force. It's sad to finally see kurama ( the beast) die after so many years together with Naruto. I guess this will be a big spoiler for the next episode of boruto Naruto next generations coming out today well if you feel you wanna learn more continue reading.
In the final episodes of Naruto Shippuden , Naruto and Sasuke fight hand in hand with an Alien more like a supreme being whose goal is to take over the world and feed on it.
Although they hardly knew anything about the alien they were able to defeat her.
Episode 216 of the boruto series a complete version of another alien from the alien civilization they fought with in the Naruto series came to being much stronger the the latter. This alien fed off the life force of an human to be able to come back fully although back to life the body he had attained was too weak to contain his power he had previously marked a boy to take over who was now under the care of Naruto in the hidden leaf village. Naruto, sasuke once again battle this alien called ishiki along with Naruto's son boruto who also was an host of another alien which was slowly taking over his body.
Sasuke and Naruto were easily overpowered by ishiki and almost killed; Sasuke had rods pierced through his body and Naruto was trapped in a void. Naruto's young son was being tortured, his arms and ribs broken and screaming in pain.
When it seemed all hope was lost kurama the tailed beast sealed in Naruto, gave Naruto an option of a technique stating that Naruto would be killed if he used it, he told Naruto he will surely over power the alien but it will be the cost of Naruto's or he's life. Naruto with the usual enthusiasm said boldly that he was ready to die for the sake of his village and the world. Kurama then gives Naruto full access to his power making him able to fight the alien better and faster.
Ishiki shocked by the aura of power around Naruto charges on to Naruto.
They battle hard and soon both parties are weak. Naruto Already feeling numb from using excess power form the tailed beast falls to the ground. This time around kurama tells him the truth that the technique will only take away his life and Naruto's life will be unaffected, slowly but steadily kurama vanishes into thin air and his life force slowly fades away from naruto, Naruto in his consciousness watches has his partner vanishes. Although it was a big loss and an emotional moment for Naruto he had to face the ishiki who has already overpowered all his foes.
This Sunday will truly be a emotional moment for both Naruto and his fans.
Twitter's new feature: get paid for using Twitter.
Jack Dorsey, the chief executive officer of Twitter inc. announced that Twitter will now allow tips from one user to another, during the Bitcoin 2021 conference in Miami Florida. Users of the social media Network will now be allowed to tip their favorite pages, articles, blogs, a fan, or a content creator in Bitcoin. This feature has more or less similarity to read.cash, there is not doubt that Marc de mecel is a genius. This will evidently increase the number of followers from the end of a tipper and also the number of users in Twitter. In a way it will strategically improve the Bitcoin market. I've seen some Twitter users especially celebrities announcing they wish to give out money to a selected number of people and therefore request they send their account numbers. With this feature Bitcoin could easily be sent to their wallets and they could gain from it with an increment in the Bitcoin market. We shouldn't forget Bitcoin is currently the most popular crypto currency in the world, yet not everyone knows it, guess what happens when Twitter enables this feature
Jack Dorsey is one of the prime supporters of crypto currency. Few months ago he tweeted that he will be trying out bit coin mining stating they he doesn't feel there's any other thing more important to work on than that. Jack Dorsey is one of the people that believe the world would be made better through crypto currency, he believes through this humanity could achieve world peace. But sincerely Twitter was recently blocked in my country by the government, to now learn about the upcoming features that it will hold is quite saddening and some what fustrating. But it all doesn't end with the tips it gets better.
Recently, Twitter announced that it will now allow users to show case their digital art has a Nft on the social network in the new feature they are working on. Although Twitter has not giving a full insight into their project but soon enough we will witness a change in the social media platform. This would allow for more exposure has numerous digital artists do not have an insight to how Nfts can be profitable to them. Also it will help most Nfts digital artist creators to easily sell of their artworks to gain income sincerely if more and more developments like this could arise it will totally be profitable for the users.
Twitter also announced it will soon launch a creator fund for users/ creators that host audio rooms, has a way to encourage more live audio room events. The audio room is a feature that allows users to chat with and hear other users in a strictly audio virtual room. Now this is a great development in the part of Twitter.
Over the years more and more people are getting exposed to crypto currency. With time it could become a basic trading mode of the world. But some countries are not ready to accept this mode of trade and are trying with all their might to nullify this trading mode. With crypto currency, we all know our money is secured and there could be possible increment with an increase in the market prices, but we are also aware of the risks that are involved with this. I guess it will be better if more countries can understand this new world development and play along with it.
The Government doesn't seems to know the peoples actual needs and in the name of protecting the country they fail to understand the people are the country and not the vast lands and cities. With the ban of crypto currency and Twitter in my country it has only become hard for traders to go about their day and also content Creators our only hope is that one day the Government will understand and succum to the needs of their citizens.
Android beats the iPhone?
Apple, one of the most celebrated computing brand in the world. With the release of the new and flawless iPhone 13, questions are being asked; is it worth it? What makes it special form previous iPhones? Is it truly better than other Android phones? Well let's look into It and provide solutions to this questions.
No doubt iPhones have some amazing features that will make any Android user troll, from it's complexity to it's simplicity. iPhone is just purely a work of art, still with such perfection there are still loopholes in the phone brand that needs to be solved, this is where some Android phones have an edge over the unique brand.
Fast charging feature:
I'm going to be talking about the new iPhone flagship, the iPhone 13 pro max and other prominent Android phones. The $999 phone boasts of an amazing charge speed of 20w. This feature is not only mesmerizing but also handy, fast charging has been the goal of most phone brands round the world with more and more demand for a comfortable and fast phone by consumers globally. But the Android phones are not lagging in this area; Asus rog phone 5, one plus 9 both charge at a ground breaking 65w , the Huawei mate xs isn't backing down with a charging speed of 55w. Great right? But it gets better with the Xiaomi mi 10 with an unbelievable 120w charging speed. Now hands down, the Android versions wins in this area, I wouldn't say so just yet. Unlike most Android phones the iPhone has a span of about four years, which is Longer than the equivalent Android flagship phones, high charging speed could lead to serious damage to the batteries over the span of the iPhone, that's something to consider, still the Android emerges Victorious in this area.
Display features:
The $699 iPhone 13 mini has a disappointing 60hz display speed. While on the other hand most Android phones comes with a fast display of about 90/120hz and some like the previously tagged best gaming phone Asus rog phone 5 has a display speed of over 144hz.
Camera features:
iPhones have one of the best camera in the world the 12mp features in their camera brings to live amazing details and features. But this feature affects the camera zoom. iPhone engineers argue that it is rather appropriate to allow small pixels instead of larger ones, to enable a wider absorption of light, this makes sense but, the Samsung brand broke this barrier creating series of small pixels to act has one big pixel and absorb light simultaneously. When it comes to zoom, the iPhone has a standard lens which only gives it about 3× zoom compared to Samsung's 10× zoom. Now this feature also puts the Android brand at an edge against the iPhones.
Sensors:
Most iPhone fans are disappointed about the no touch sensor in the iPhone 13 series. This feature has been removed since the iPhone x replaced with the face id which the iPhone users find annoying. Unlike the iPhone Samsung has a snappy fingerprint recognition display also the facial unlock. iPhone concentrated too much in improving a feature they forgot to follow their consumers need.
Gaming:
No doubt iPhone constitutes one of the best gaming phones in the world they. The iPad has proven to be splendid especially when playing fps games like call of duty mobile, pubg mobile, fortnite and all other fps games. But the Android versions make up the best gaming phones in the world; the Asus rog phone 5, Lenovo legion phone duel, Nubia red magic 5g, Samsung Galaxy s21 and many other flagship Android phones.
Which would you go for the iPhone or the Android. Share your opinion in the comment section
I want to give a big shout out to @Jumper-01 for the sponsorship
For power or for humanity: space exploration (2)
Two weeks ago I wrote an article title ‘space exploration: humanities last hope'. After a series of critical thinking I realized that the article is was too shallow. I talked about humanities achievement and failures with their hopes and anticipation to break free from the shackles of our beloved planet. But I failed to talk about their selfish intents, not all they do is for the benefit of humanity. For now their goals far exceeds human understanding, and their methods undetectable. Let's take a dive to the ruthless means people may take to attain power and domination over others. https://read.cash/@Temimay/space-exploration-humanities-last-hope-cf87d46c
Hundreds of different organizations round the world journey to space on a daily basis claiming research works and some mining, but is that all it is; we stare at the moon and adore it's glow and complexity, I guess every being on Earth privilege to see the night sky are mesmerized by the magnificence of the sky, moon, space and stars . So this is totally normal for space exploration to have taken place in the first place, but did it come too early? October 1957 sixty four years ago man broke the barrier and achieved the first space exploration, but this shouldn't have been possible, has at that time man had was just at the tip of scientific development, we didn't achieve so many things until later and recently. So like most people say, are we ruled by aliens of advanced technology?
Are our scientific and entertainment development watched and nurtured by civilizations that far surpasses ours, are we land rats?! I guess that wouldn't be realistic right, even if we are not controlled by aliens, we are surely ruled by people that sort themselves has supreme and dominant over everyone else. They claim for the future of humanity yet they also test at elite weaponry, weapons enough to wipe an entire civilization under one strike. With their many explorations they are able to test weapons that could pretty much wipe the planet off with one test.
What about the covid-19 and the HIV, something is definitely fishy. There was an out break of the Corona virus has we know it late 2019, by 2020 the virus made its way to every country in the world, well not complaining, the world is a global village right. A cure of the disease that seemed incurable and somewhat termed the deadliest man has come across over the years, late 2021 a vaccine to totally curb the disease spread was formulated. All this happened under almost two years of zero knowledge before hand about the virus. What about the HIV/AIDS why isn't anyone talking about it. In 1959 HIV was discovered in congo, Africa from a man, in 1981 the virus was identified and ever since continue to spread round the world, 62 years after the discovery scientist have not come up with a cure, the way I see it the disease is taken way too lightly for something that is deadly. Has it always been something to control the population of the world? How heartless are the people in the power houses of the world? Will this continue, when will human life become valuable to others?
Chicken dinner
Pubg gamers we all know after a victorious match you are promised a chicken, well I guess it's time to have your prize. Chickens (Cocks, hen, chicks) are basically an immortal species. Chickens has always been our best companion for about 8,000 years we have turned to them for meat ( white meat) and basically alarm clocks. But just how much do you know about those flight impaired birds that you constantly grind into your tummy.
Chickens are basically flightless birds, although they make efforts to fly by continuously flapping their wings. According to Wikipedia, they originated from Southeastern Asia, and are sometimes used for fowl fight( you place your bet...may the best chicken win). We all love the taste of chickens especially when fried and grilled, but did you know they weren't originally kept for food. Chickens are the most populated domestic animals; reaching an estimated population of about 23.7billion as of 2018. That's somewhat hard to believe giving to the fact that chickens are the most demanded meat source in the world, that's why I called them immortals earlier. We learned back in school that most animals go extinct( cease to exist) after years to man feasting on them uncontrolled, I can't say the rate at which we feast on the Chickens are controlled, so where do they come from anyway? I mean they can't walk all the way form Southeastern Asia to all part of the world right, I guess that will be a mystery to solve some day.
They are fleshy, sweet, soft, and their meat easily absorbs seasoning. Just how do you love your chicken prepared.
Grilled;
Because they are so tender and get done easily when cooked slightly, chickens basically are the best for barbecue. We can't deny the taste of a barbecued chicken, it's simply the best dish one can have; soft, brown, slices of smoked pepper/onions and an evenly distributed seasoning. How do you prepare it anyway;
Get you chicken ready; while most people will go to the market to buy slaughtered chickens that are packaged in polythene bags, I prefer doing the killing my self and also prefer raising the Chickens my self; I guess I don't want a chicken filled up with fertilizers, what do you think @Pichi28. Our chicken is ready what next?
Onions; well while most people don't like onions i really love them especially when raw and roasted, the cooked or boiled onions literally makes me sick. Chop the onions into rings to give your barbecue some extra beautification. And there's no denying the awesome aroma of onions when grilled right @Princessbusayo .
Pepper; while most people use graters to chop their pepper I simply prefer doing it with my hands although touching my eye by mistake after this is catastrophic. Keep in mind some people are not pepper tolerant if you are going to share it with others.
Let's steam it up a little; while most people go on with the smoking directly I prefer to steam it up a little ( more like mildly cooking); I do this to make the seasonings flow inside the meat more and to make the bones cooked up a little, for those of us that love the marrows.
Start your barbecue; it's cooked a little, and now it's ready for the heat; some people marinate their chicken before smoking, also veggies, place your onions on it while barbecuing and watch it tills it's brown and soft enough for chewing, don't forget to turn the sides to distribute the heat evenly.
Now that your barbecue is ready you might has well step it down with a bottle of beer or red wine. Isn't that right @Kennysplash
I would really love to go on, but I was hoping @FarmGirl would tell us how she loves chicken prepared.
What if?
In my previous articles I wrote about crazy ideas the world is not just ready to witness, this article isn't any different but, this time I'm going to be talking about the possibility of other occurrence taking place in the world, if you are a science loving person like I am then this is for you. Has humans we've always thought of another possibility one way or the other where events could have been made better or devastating occurrence could have been avoided, well here are some of those endless possibilities. https://read.cash/@Temimay/crazy-ideas-the-world-is-not-just-ready-to-witness-0def3526
*“this article is not in any way related to Marvel's classic ‘what if?', this IS purely from my wild imaginations like any other writer".*
What if we didn't destroy the ozone layer;
‘The world will fail us one day, Earth will fail us one day'. I can't begin to count the number of time I've heard this, I guess I heard great deal of it from a lot of sci-fi ( science fiction) movies. Well scientist claim the endless fumes shooting out to the sky, those plastics in the water and all that are destroying the world, we can't say they were wrong about it but the main question is .
Was it ever possible for this not to happen? Could it have been avoided? Well maybe, maybe not. We should keep in mind most of the Things we use in our homes we're produced under intense flames they gave rise to intense fumes that destroyed the ozone layer.if humanity was to avoid crashing the ozone layer through fumes and all, we will all be left in the dark ages still and well that will be weird. Imagine driving to work without a car, bus ,train or travelling to another continent through ships made of wood instead of supersonic airplanes or jets, we will probably be unable to produce a nail for the construction of our homes, no cell phones, no cars, to exquisite houses, no huge metal safes, this time around I would really love to leave the planet.
What if the planet stopped?
I guess this is another sci-fi related topic, our big blue world housing billions or trillions of organisms is truly a wonder and no doubt a protector. But what if she stopped moving? Now that will spell the end of the world, unlike the movie 2012 the world will be totally destroyed. Even if it were for a few seconds humanity will be wiped out totally.
Firstly you should keep in mind the world is moving a super super sonic speeds so if it were to be put in an halt we will all be moving with it's initial speed, just spinning round and round in endless circles. We will experience mountainous tsunamis probably a size Ranking up with the Everest, because we've been put in an halt the entire part of the planet facing the the sun would become toast, while the other freezes we should keep in mind the unstable atmosphere and ground, this all will cause powerful winds and crazy volcanic explosions in the ground, I guess I really need to stop there.
What if there was no world war?
No doubt the world wars, are the greatest ever experienced by man, millions dead, thousands missing, the world was pretty devastated. Only if we could turn back time and prevent it from all happening, the world would change considerably, or would it?
One event leads to another, that's all it has always been in our planet, sometimes I think that the world war was a way of telling humanity you need to develop yourselves more, I guess it's a way of telling us ‘ you are lacking in knowledge ' we shouldn't ignore the fact that most accountable structural, and economic developments all originated from the world war. For example development of high speed jets, hard armoured vehicles, nuclear technology all originated from this world war, where would the world be without such developments and innovations.
The Philippines: an Asian pride
Asia is the worlds largest continent, she houses one of the most beautiful countries known to mankind; china, Japan, Thailand, Philippines, India, and lots more. the Philippines boast of 7,641 islands, ranking it second among island countries in Asia and eighth in the world; also makes the ideal country for a well spent holiday. I imagined myself taking a flight to the Philippines during the holidays to spend sometime there I guess it would be fun. why don't join me and let's take a ride into our imaginations. my traveling bags are ready what about yours? Metro Manila here we come.
The people:
I guess the first thing we should be worried about is the type of people we should be expecting ( their behavior towards foreigners). the Filipinos are basically awesome and friendly people and believe me when I say friendly, they are even to strangers and are not xenophobic, they literally accept strangers in a gathering or event, no wonder @mommykim is such a lovely and accommodating fellow. Filipinos will literally accept a foreigner into their home for a meal or entertainment. guess what, the Philippines is Nicknamed ‘the text capital city of the world' this is because of the large volume of texts sent throughout the country, most of this texts would surely be to a loved one.
Let's go for a walk;
now that we've gotten to know the people better, we could check into an hotel get refreshed and go for a little survey. but it won't be easy, because of the large population and number of vehicles the streets are rather busy, don't get frustrated yet the beautifully painted buses would captivate your eyes not to mention their tricycles, I guess to avoid stress @FarmGirl would show me around.
It's evening already I guess our tummy would have started grumbling, let's try their street food I guess we will get to see a bit of the night life here in manila.
The night life;
Manila is not exactly the biggest city in the Philippines but it's taste is exquisite. One dish I would like to try is Isaw, it's a popular Philippine dish made particularly of the intestines of a pork or chicken, another would be 'Taho' and fried chicken skin, I'm guessing that's @Pichi28 favorite. There are many dishes to be tasted I might as well run out of money tasting them, not to worry @TheRandomRewarder to the rescue. I hope I don't get develop tummy trouble
Now for a little tour;
The beaches and islands in manila are just has beautiful as thee city it self. There are many islands to visit one in particular is the Boracay island, it has a vast beach which gives you a clear view of the seas and other neighbouring islands, and a it's also a pretty good spot for sun bathing, not to mention sporting activities and mesmerizing views of wrecked ships and coral reefs, which are home for the Marine life around the island. And if you are a lover of white beaches I guess anawangin cove would be your best bet, @Kristofferquincy what beach do you think we could chill out to take a break from everything.
There are tons of activities to engage in; from exploring volcanic sites to underwater diving, shipwreck exploration, underground river tour, hanging coffins and island hopping, cool right
I guess I have to come back to my home country, but I wouldn't forget to take so many pictures that would make @Kennysplash super jealous. The Philippines is a wonderful place to be from it's people to it's wonderful landscape and open seas, to me it's one of the wonders of the world.
Crazy ideas the world is not just ready to witness
Over the years man has developed in wisdom and science Making life easier and worth living. No doubt that scientific development has changed a lot about our life and some how defined us. Imagine in the past long distance communication could not take place in a very short time, soon the radio was invented, along with the telephone, communication became easier and faster, now we all have cellphones that we could pick up at anytime to make a call. But science has we know it is still advancing, and scientist have crazy ideas coming up in the next decade. Here are the top crazy ideas humanity is not just ready for.
Time travel;
We've all one way or the other watched a movie that depicts time travel; star trek , avengers end game, flash, back to the Future. But now that's fiction right, scientist want that to become a reality. Lots of scientist came up with theories relating to time travel and how time travel could be made possible. Of course if they do come up with the right equation it will cost billions to build a time machine. Think about it, this could actually be fun, floating in a time machine with @Kristofferquincy
Flying civilization;
It's time to pack your bags @HappyBoy we are leaving earth. How does that sound? More like crazy 2.0, well scientist believe Soon enough the earth would fail us and we would have to leave earth, but to where? Venus. That's right the hottest planet in our solar system will be our abode, how dangerous can it be? Well temperatures in Venus hit up to 471°c, an human being can only take about 40°c before our skin runs into chaos, meaning scientist would have to invent a planetary sized air conditioner if they don't want to become steak.
Flying cars;
Ever since I watched star wars flying cars has always been a childhood dream, but that was me being a kid. Probably my dreams are coming to life, companies round the world are coming up with their own design of flying cars, very all we have to do is take to the sky to get to work school or to the grocery store, no more hold-ups on the roads again. Is there any disadvantage? Of course there is, for flying cars to be possible this vehicles would have to reach a height that if far higher than any regular building or skyscraper to avoid collision with the buildings or incoming vehicles. You don't want to have technical issues at that height, it would end up being a short trip to the ground at 9.8ms-1. well scientist would perfect it, before you know it cars would be buzzing in the sky, I bet @FarmGirl would order the first brand that gets to market.
**Intercontinental train;**
We have all boarded a train that has taken us under hills, mountains, under ground, under water. What about under oceans and seas. Industries and various countries are looking to build a train that would run from one continent to another. So instead of waiting ours in that air port, or traveling for months on ships, why not take a train to the other side of the world, practically impossible right, well yes, travelling through the ocean floor would be one of the most dangerous voyage you would ever embark on, we don't want to think about technical difficulties mid way. Well this trains will be safe, luxurious and fast, super fast, I bet @mommykim would board this train, England here we come.
Nano-tech phones;
How about waving your hands in the air and your smart phone pops up, now that's more like smart phone pro max, with a snap of my fingers I could easily call @Princessbusayo , classic right, I don't think there are major problems associated with this, so why is the world not ready for it? Well it's because it's too cool to exist having such a phone would be the peak of phone industries don't you think @Pichi28 , your mobile phones will feel for human than a computer, but that will be super.
Lastly, Teleportation;
In almost all sci-fi movies (science fiction) we would see guys moving Swiftly and teleporting has weird has it may seem it's actually cool. You wouldn't have to wait long just to get to the grocery store, I wouldn't have to drive for hours to meet up with @Kennysplash for a video game. But you don't want criminals to have this, except there are restrictions people could just pop into your house and take what ever stuffs they wish.
We know some things need to be invented to make life easier, but others should be kept in the shelf, don't you think?
Most hilarious and annoying moments in Nigeria
Green, white, green. The colour that signifies unity among 250 ethnic groups, a symbol of peace and Agricultural prosperity. unfortunately the prime days of Nigeria is over has the economy of our beloved country is tearing apart, but this doesn't spoil the fun in Nigeria, here we will explore the most hilarious and annoying moments in ‘the giant of Africa'.
The iPhone pandemic;
No doubt Nigerians love things flashy, some are even obsessed with class, fame, ladies and money, an iPhone is not exempted. most average Nigerian youths would do anything just to get an iPhone, this makes the Apple product the most sort after phone brand in Nigeria. I believe I've always known the apple brand, but I first got to know about the iPhone way back in 2018 when the popular song ‘legbegbe' by Mr real was released, I believe @HappyBoy would know a lot about the song. since then the iPhone disease has spread throughout the country, a few timid youths even rank someone's wealth with the type of iPhone they have.
Grass,grass and grass;
Traveling in Nigeria by road has never been fun for me, especially when aboard a public transport. Well it was fun when I was younger, but with more frequent voyage via the road I have gotten so use to seeing the same thing over and over again to the point of irritation. since I'm From the Southwestern part of the country forests and bushes are common, this bushes could drive you crazy if you keep staring at them, it's going to be all green and green till you get to your destination.
Give the police an handshake;
Nigeria has always ranked top among things relating to Africa and corruption is one of them. every Nigerian traveller is aware of the powerful handshake and love that exists between public transport drivers and the police, this unconditional love is called bribery. Drivers literally strech their hands out of their vehicles and pass out Money to any available police officer at a police check point, but this doesn't necessarily apply to all police check points in Nigeria. That handshake guarantee them being free from vehicle inspection.
NEPA;
NEPA stands for National Electric Power Authority, it was a organisation controlling power supply in Nigeria before it was changed years back, but it's name still lives in the lips of every Nigerian. Electricity supply in Nigeria is so poor we could go for weeks with out power and yet get an outrageous bill, basically almost all average Nigerian has a power generator that requires fuel to work, I don't see this home friendly machine leaving the country anytime soon, has of the time I wrote this article it's been 10hrs since the last power supply.
Have you been paid yet;
at the end of every month we expect to receive our salaries form our various working places, because this is what is due to us right? Well, in Nigeria most workers actually have to pray hard just to get paid for their months work. Its quite fustrating and painful.
Every youth is a musician;
there's no doubt entertainers in Nigeria actually make a lot form their works, now most youths want to be like them. ITs easy right get a script a studio and then you are good to go, I guess they haven't heard that music isn't for everyone. What makes their aspiration funny is the fact that most of them lack the talent to pursue their goal in the music industry. Has entertainers it's all about talent, patience, and hard work, I'm thinking of releasing a music soon I guess I would have to feature @Princessbusayo for this also my pal @QueenRay.
Do you have a title?
almost every Nigerian seeks a title, they've made various occupations even a title, it's hard to tell who's title is worth it this days in Nigeria. we have the honourables I guess this is the most popular title out there, the pastors, the chiefs, the doctors(they haven't been to a medical school or attained a doctorate degree in the university but well, if they say they are doctors they are doctors), the profs ( not a single ounce of knowledge profitable to man kind is uttered from them, yet they are the profs, lastly the commissioners, note that most of them do not have any reason to call themselves these it's just to feel important.
Nigeria will always remain our dear country no matter the hardships, it will always remain where our memories lie don't you agree @Fexonice1 . there are lots of things to point out I wish @Kristofferquincy could give us more insight.
special thanks to @Kennysplash for the sponsorship my very first sponsor. Although I've not been active for about a week due to exams.
I've not been posting articles lately but not to worry I'll be back
Space exploration: humanities last hope?
*“That's one small step for man...one giant leap for man kind".*
Those are the exact words of the very first man to step on the moon, Neil Alden Armstrong (5th of August 1930-25th of August 2012). Man has always stared up to the night sky and marvelled at the endless twinkling of stars, over the course of time man has come up with various theories and myths to satisfy their thoughts about ‘space'. Man gained knowledge more and more enough to understand the how, what and if of space exploration. April 12 1961 mankind succeeded to make it's first space exploration. Over the years questions have arisen.
****was it necessary? How has it helped mankind? Have we gone too far?****
**Was it necessary**
An eye in space;
Sputnik, the first man-made artificial satellite was launched to space by the then Soviet Union. We got an insight to what it can do and how it will help. Many individuals have viewed space exploration has a major waste of funds that could have been used for major infrastructural and economical development, true but we should not forget what the knowledge of space has done for man.
Weather forecast: the ever watchful satellites in space have made our daily life easier, most times the weather cannot be predicted which is so dangerous for those who work at the mercy of the weather, Fisher men for example are able to determine when and where storms would occur by just reading or listening to the weather forecast of the day. In the past this isn't so, they get caught up by terrible storms leaving them destabilized, also unable to work for a very long time. Tides and waves can also be predicted through the satellites.
Disasters: the satellite studies and predict incoming disasters like a tsunami, an earthquake, an incoming fire and lots more. You still think satellites are useless?
Mapping: satellites take images of specific areas through this, geologist, mappers, and Miners are able to determine the topography of an area and what to expect while working in such an area.
Commutation and defense: your, friends, spouse, parents, siblings, teachers, are at the other side of the globe, you decide to talk with them you pick up your cell and give them a call. Years ago this wouldn't have been possible the only means of communication was through letters passed manually through the sea and roads, many letters would have been lost during delivery process others their content would have been of no use when the letter is finally delivered. Commands and emergency calls would have been totally impossible to deliver over a very far range has radio waves can't transmit over a continent.
Dooms day rocks;
They call it deep space yet it feels shallow. Far away into space, millions of debris have been spotted slowly but steadily making their way into our solar system, they are called asteriods, according to records they have struck earth once, and the results we're catastrophic. It wiped most extinct gigantic and monstrous reptiles that ever walked the earth. Scientist are building weapons to battle this rocks. Fear not this rocks aren't coming anytime soon.
**Have we gone too far**
The red planet,home?
Mars, Earth's red neighbor, the fourth planet and also the last of the rocky planets. It has always been believed that life could one day strive on mars, space x founder, Elon Reeve Musk speaking on an award show webcast in 2020 talked about the possibility of living on mars.
*“if we are lucky, in four years time "*
He said.
Does man need a new home? do we need to risk billions of money and lives for the sake of scientific development?
As of 2019 an estimated 34 million humans live in poverty. 34 million out of 7.674 billion others in the world. An estimation of $100 billion to $10 trillion dollars is to be used for the construction of a city on mars for human habitation. I'm not very good with numbers but take this wholesome amount into the world economy and imagine it's usefulness to fight poverty and terrorism, it would surely have a great impact to humans generally, won't it?
According to the United States national oceanic and atmospheric administration an estimate of $122 million to $489 million will be needed to clean the Pacific for a year, $50 trillion to clean the planet by another estimate.
The hotter the better
Lead image source: pixerbay.com https://pixabay.com/
Well living in mars is just a tip of the iceberg, what about living in Venus? Crazy right? Scientist have further made plans of humanity living in one of the hottest planets our solar system has to offer. We will be floating in the atmosphere of second planet in the solar system considered to be the hottest of all nine planets, you think floating cities are fun just wait till you read this. The percentage of oxygen in it's Atmosphere is 96, well no problem right every living thing needs oxygen, but oxygen is the main reason combustion processes are possible the rate at which combustion occurs is cushioned by nitrogen since it is relatively higher on Earth. In Venus there is only 3.5% nitrogen in it's Atmosphere, imagine lighting a cigarette and it suddenly envelopes in flame now that's crazy and dangerous, smoking would have to be banned in the floating City.technical difficulties will probably not occur right, well, let's keep that for later.
Say decades from now humanity successfully evacuate it's home planet to live in another, what will be the cost, how many lives will be lost? Well you could count the loss to be millions.
****The question is, clean the planet? Or find a new home?****

Who am I?
Hi guys, I'm temimay and this is my first post on read cash. Although I'm still working to perfect my writing I hope you enjoy reading my articles, for those of you that already know me ,yes I'm back I've not been active for two weeks due to work and school. But now I'm here to make up for the two weeks off, so I guess most of you would want to know me better continue reading to learn more about me.
How I got to know about read cash;
Where should I start? All I can say is I was surfing the internet in search of apps and websites where I could buildup my writing skills. I came across numerous websites and apps, noice cash happened to be among them, soon after I learned about read cash from @HappyBoy post on the platform, I guess I didn't think much about it, consecutively I came across more and more post about read cash form the noice cash platform and decided to sign up for it .
My aim;
Well all writers seek recognition. I joined read cash because I want my work to be recognised. The only way to achieve this is working hard mad I hope to do so in this platform, although I know working in articles everyday would not be an easy task, I have decided to accept the challenge and get to it head on. I believe I would enjoy using this platform has I have come across nice writers like @Pichi28 and other fantabulous writers.My aim is to keep you entertained and motivated has you read through my article, so feel free to drop by and read them. I really look forward to making you entertained.
What I have learned about read cash so far;
Read cash is quite tricky and more strict than other platforms I have come across. Well I believe it's because of it's zero tolerance to spam and unchecked behaviors among writers here. I have also learnt a lot about @TheRandomRewarder how it controls the quality of articles the platform has to offer.
What I intend to write about;
Well has a writer we all specialize in one aspect or the other and mine is just about anything. From review about the global market to awesome stories and a bit of history. Have seen lot of stories that I really enjoyed and I hope I can meet up to the great writers like @Princessbusayo are stories a one to reckon with they are simply awesome.
When I intend to leave read cash;
I have no plans of leaving read cash anytime soon. It wouldn't be a smart move to stop building my writing skills above all I earn from doing so, unlike other platforms I've worked with read cash seems more accommodating and preferable, it is also easy to use, so like I said, it would be a terrible move .
How long have I been writing;
I started publishing my write-ups and articles online 2018. Yes it's been that long but I started has an amateur to the writing society like I said earlier I'm still building my writing skills, it's a step by step slow process, but it's worth it. Very soon I will be able to write articles even @MarcDeMesel can not resist.
Where I'm from:
I guess I should have mentioned this earlier. I'm a Nigerian I have lived in Nigeria all my life and never been out, so funny although I sincerely wish to leave to get to know the world better and better improve my writing I think @Fexonice1 would also be aspiring to leave his country a little bit.
I think have said all about me but I believe in the coming weeks you will all get it know me better. I hope you will really love my articles in the coming weeks, thanks.
@Temimay
