The Second Brain
We've often heard of mind control, but what about gut control? The truth is, we don't actually have another brain hiding out in our bodies helping us make decisions, but our gut can influence the decisions we make. As AsapSCIENCE explains, sneaky microbes in our stomach produce both dopamine and serotonin, manipulating our cravings for their own benefit. So maybe you shouldn't always go with your gut.

Vita Coco Treats
Launched last April, Vita Coco Treats is a new coconutmilk beverage crafted for those moments when you're in the mood for something light, sweet, and satisfying. Combining the flavors of creamy coconut and sweet strawberries, Vita Coco Treats offers a refreshingly indulgent drink. Instead of flooding "influencers" with free products as promotion, they brought the product to the people this Valentine's Day in the form of a DIY vending machine. Set up in Washington Square Park, New York, it dispensed free Strawberries & Crème Treats to passersby, leading to long lines and an overwhelming response. This fun, natural experience is much like the drink itself, which has ingredients you can pronounce and is likely to leave a smile on your face.

Not only are they the fastest cars on the planet, but the steering wheel is cover in buttons that adjust every aspect of the car: brake balance, fuel mixture, engine mapping, and more. This video annotates all the button presses by Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg on a pole position lap at the 2016 Baku City Circuit.
The Origin of Dogs
Dogs have been man's best friends since the dawn of time, or have they? Originating from the gray wolf, humans began domesticating the wild predators as pets thousands of years ago in western Eurasia. But new studies are showing that the wolves were not only domesticated once, but twice before they became the companions we know and love, explored in this animation by Ed Yong.
