People are only just realising the right way to prepare microwave popcorn and it’s blowing their minds

The trick will save a lot of hassle for popcorn lovers[/caption]
In the video, Ryan cooks his microwave popcorn normally, but what he did when he put it into a bowl has changed the game.
Instead of immediately opening the bag and pouring the popcorn in the bowl, he turned it upside down while still sealed.
Then, he shook the bag until the un-popped kernels fell out of the small opening – with the bigger popcorn pieces still in the bag.
The video went viral, racking up 60k likes, with viewers praising the ingenious idea.
One commented: “Wait what? It takes so long to take them out individually and I see this!”
Some viewers apparently already knew the trick.
One user said: “Well yeah, duh!”
Others revealed their odd eating habits with many commenting that the best part of the popcorn was the un-popped kernels.
Someone commented: “I eat the corns too…”
Eagle Dental Care warns against eating the un-popped kernels on their website.
They said: “Un-popped kernels are very good at breaking and cracking teeth.
“Be careful as you devour a big handful, especially if it’s at the bottom of the bag.”
In 2017, it was discovered that popcorn is one of the “top five reasons” people chip a tooth.
Dr Mark Hughes, a senior partner at the Harley Street Dental Group, previously said: “In my 25 years as a dentist, popcorn is easily among the top five reasons for broken teeth.”

I want to know — so I have two unofficial, unscientific surveys asking what you are most excited about when it comes to Windows 11. The first survey focuses on your home computer, including what OS you’re using now, your upgrade plans and what you like/dislike about Windows 11.
For reference, Microsoft has put together a website that recaps some of the items it’s excited about.

In Mindhack you can literally change criminal minds. But should you?
Mindhack, an upcoming visual novel adventure, opens in a jail cell, as a criminal named Unid is brought before you by a pair of armed security guards. Your reputation precedes you: before the accused can even sit down, they call out your unusual ability to hack into the minds of people to ‘patch’ their flaws, turning their nefarious intentions into fields of flowers. But it’s ok, isn’t it? After all, the person in front of you has committed a crime and must be rehabilitated; reckless driving, hit and run, and arson.
So, you get to work. Talking to Unid allows you to build a rapport and understand their motivations. You learn about their past. They talk of their difficult childhood, pets, a lack of support – broken systems that left them behind and put them on their current path. It doesn’t matter. You have a job to do. And now, with that bit of knowledge, you’ve found the ‘bug’ in their programming. After initiating a hack on their brain, you eradicate this flaw, forcefully transforming their mind into a paradise of purity. Unid will never commit another crime again. Have you done the right thing?
