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.

Collars & Co.'s Cloud Cotton Hoodie
The hoodie has long been a casual staple, but Collars & Co.'s Cloud Cotton Hoodie gives it a more refined identity. Crafted from an ultra-soft brushed cotton blend, the lightweight layer delivers warmth with a smooth hand feel while maintaining a relaxed fit that never looks oversized. Ribbed cuffs and hem, a cleaner silhouette, and an elevated finish make it just as appropriate for travel and weekend dinners as it is for off-duty afternoons. It's the kind of everyday essential that quietly replaces every other hoodie in your rotation, proving that comfort and polish can coexist.

Nike Pegasus 42
Pegasus is Nike's top-selling running line and its longest-lived, and the 42 gives the everyday trainer a roomier fit. The ReactX foam midsole, up 13% in responsiveness over Nike's previous React foam, is paired with an Air Zoom unit that curves the full length of the shoe for the highest energy return Nike offers, from heel to toe-off. The mesh upper is softer and airier than before, a reworked fit leaves the forefoot and toes a little extra space, and a steeper curve under the toes adds spring. A lighter Waffle outsole pairs high-abrasion rubber with flex grooves for traction and flexibility. A men's size 10 weighs about 10.5 ounces.

F1 Pole Position Lap Wheel Adjustments
Imagine driving over 200 MPH around a tight, twisting road in a land rocket and typing on a laptop — that's a pretty close approximation of piloting an Formula One car. 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.

Nike Ava Edge
The city becomes a concrete playground with the Nike Ava Edge, navigating everything from morning commutes on crowded sidewalks to late night rooftop bars and adventures. Inspired by the geometry and interconnected grid networks of modern cities, the upper layers are formed by weaving textiles with breathable mesh netting to create a flexible and protective fit around the foot. An oversized midsole uses performance-level SCF foam for soft cushioning through long days on concrete, while a flexible, perforated rubber outsole wraps onto the midsole for added durability and leaves a distinctive imprint behind with every step. Combining technical construction with an urban-focused silhouette, the Ava Edge takes the active lifestyle of the Ava lineup off the running route and into the everyday rhythm of the city.

Building A Boeing 737
If you've gotten on a commercial flight, more than likely it was on a Boeing 737. The 140-foot twinjet airliner rules the airways with more than 9,000 produced since their introduction in 1967. In order to get so many into the friendly skies, the company pumps out a completed 737 from their Renton Production Facility at an astonishing pace — just nine days.
How McDonald's Chicken McNuggets are Made
