The supercomputer in your pocket is a miracle of human progress in science and technology — and a representative of the environmental impact of our modern society. From rare earth minerals to heavy metals like lead, a smartphone requires a lot of resources, and those resources mostly come from small countries with cheap labor. TED looks at what you need to make a smartphone and how that affects people and environments across the globe.

Oasis is releasing a new video for "She's Electric" from their blockbuster 1995 album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? Released 23 years ago on October 2, the new video for the fan-favorite song has a classic British vibe, using the animated collage technique popularized by acts like comedic troupe Monty Python and the Beatles.

Everyone's heard of Omega-3 fatty acid, and how it can be beneficial to overall health. That's because it was discovered nearly a century ago. C15:0 — pentadecanoic acid — on the other hand, was discovered only recently, and is thus harder to obtain, unless your diet consists of whole-fat dairy products and specific fish and plants (not a likely combo). Fatty15 is a pure, vegan-friendly supplement that delivers just the right amount of C15:0. Within just a few weeks of daily use, people report better sleep, improved mood, and less joint inflammation, likely due to the compound's ability to protect and replenish cells, improve liver function, and balance metabolism. The easy-to-swallow pills are available in single bottles of 30 doses each, or on a subscription basis.

Ever run a half-marathon in work pants? Someone did in the Ministry of Supply's Kinetic Pant, and they set a Guinness World Record. We don't necessarily recommend doing that daily — unless you're late for a meeting — but that's certainly more than enough proof that they're comfortable, stretchy, sweat- and water-resistant, wrinkle-free, and breathable. Plus, they're machine washable and easy to dress up or down depending on the day, thanks to the wide array of colors they offer, comfortable drawstring band, and zippered pockets. Adding to their versatility, they're specifically cut to work well with sneakers, which most of us are rocking to the office and on the weekends, too. And the waist measurements aren't broad-stroke alpha sizing: these are available in 28 through 40-inch waist sizes.

Jackson Pollock is a divisive figure in the world of fine art. Some people love him. Others think he just threw paint on canvas — and they wouldn't be totally wrong. But Pollock's rise to fame might have as much to do with a tie salesman-turned-art critic by the name of Clement Greenberg who championed Pollock and other American Modern artists into the stratosphere of the art world.

Kurzgesagt looks at the reality surrounding the production of meat and the impact it has worldwide.
