What is the ‘adult only’ trend, in public places all about?

At a time when Europe faces a "baby bust," the role of children in public spaces is sparking new debate. Increasingly, restaurants, hotels, and even tour operators are rolling out “adults only” policies. Gone are the sounds of crying babies or kids running around tables, but this shift raises questions about individualism in society. In recent years, child-free options have doubled globally, with hotels and restaurants seeing a surge in demand for adult-only spaces. In the UK, chains like Warner Leisure Hotels are dedicated entirely to adult-only stays, reflecting a significant shift in hospitality preferences. Is this trend really that widespread? Is it even legal? Isn’t it discriminating against part of the population? Why is this trend picking up steam now? What does this mean for society? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Why do we talk about “left” and “right” in politics?

Today, “left” and “right” are the main labels we use to categorise political views, but their origins go back over two centuries. To understand, we have to go back to the French Revolution in 1789. That spring, France’s King Louis XVI convened a meeting known as the Estates General, bringing together representatives from three groups, or “Estates”: the clergy, the nobility, and the Third Estate, which represented the common people. A few months later, in July, this assembly became the Constituent Assembly. Where did it all begin? Are there other kinds of political oppositions besides left and right?

What’s the function of the perineum?

The perineum is a group of muscles that works like a hammock, stretching from the pubic bone to the tailbone. To pinpoint its location, try coughing; you’ll feel a downward pressure in your lower abdomen.   It provides support for your internal organs, like the rectum and bladder, and for women, the vagina and uterus. It also absorbs physical impact. For example, when you run, the increased abdominal pressure puts stress on the perineum, which can absorb shocks equal to four times your body weight. In men, it also plays a role in maintaining erections. How can I know if my perineum isn’t as strong as it should be? And if my perineum is in good shape? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Why are the most useful jobs often the lowest-paid ones?

Imagine two people. One is a home care worker. Every morning, they help elderly people get up, wash and continue to live independently at home. The other works in a large office, spending much of their day in meetings and producing PowerPoint presentations. Sometimes, even wondering what the point of it all is. Which one earns more?

Could the AI bubble burst sooner than expected?

In economic terms, a speculative bubble refers to a situation in which the price of an asset becomes heavily overvalued. An asset could be anything from company shares and property to cryptocurrencies. But eventually, reality catches up. Investors begin to realise the asset isn’t actually worth as much as they thought, confidence fades, and many rush to sell. When everyone sells at once, prices collapse, leading to what’s commonly known as a crash. But what exactly is a speculative bubble? Have there been bubbles like this before?

What is a ‘sandwich employee’?

In our professional lives, just as in our personal ones, we all wear many hats. But how does juggling all those roles make us feel? For some, it can be a fulfilling challenge, while for others, it can lead to burnout and a loss of identity. This is especially true for managers, who often find themselves in the toughest spot. Think about your coworker who’s always balancing the demands of their team and their boss, acting as the go-between for frustrated employees and anxious higher-ups. In today’s business climate, it’s no wonder that middle managers — those caught in the middle — are at high risk of burnout. What are they up against?

Is drinking decaf bad for my health?

Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, with an average of 98 million cups consumed in the UK every day, according to the British Coffee Association. In moderation, there are plenty of benefits to be gained from drinking coffee, but there can also be some negative side effects, in particular due to its caffeine content. Decaf is an alternative, but is it really healthier? Our bodies don’t all process caffeine in the same way. It also depends on our sleep quality and the dose of caffeine.

Why do we change clocks twice per year?

“Spring forward, fall back” goes the saying; that’s right - today, Sunday the 25th of October 2026, saw the clocks go back an hour, meaning it gets dark earlier all of a sudden and winter is on its way! If there’s one day, or rather two days, of the year where you don’t want to schedule any important appointments, it’s on a day when the clock changes. Forgetting the time change is something that’s happened to all of us at least once in our lifetimes. Changing our clocks is so ingrained into our culture that we never really call it into question. But it has actually become a subject of debate in recent years, with some people even saying we should do away with the whole idea. Who first came up with the idea then? What’s the point of it all?

What is binge eating disorder?

Binge eating, also known as uncontrollable overeating, is an eating disorder. It is characterized by compulsive and excessive consumption of food within a specific period, usually not exceeding two hours, and a loss of control over eating behavior.  This means that a person can’t measure the amounts or types of food they are consuming, and may eat quickly without feeling full. This loss of control often leads to feelings of shame or disgust after a binge-eating episode. Is it similar to bulimia then? What causes binge eating disorder? How is binge eating disorder treated?

Could a bathroom divorce help your relationship to thrive?

According to a survey back in the 2010s, the average couple has 312 arguments a year. Household chores are one of the main reasons for arguing, and there’s one room in the home in particular which is connected to several of the most common argument triggers: the bathroom. We’re talking about leaving stubble in the sink and all sorts of toilet etiquette infringements, like leaving the seat up or not replacing the toilet roll.

Could Highlander syndrome help humans become immortal?

Humans have long been intrigued by the idea of achieving eternal life, and wondered whether it could ever become possible thanks to medical and technological advances. But in the case of some individuals it seems that it may even be randomly bestowed upon them. Let’s take South Korean man Shin Hyo Myung for example. Ever since he appeared on eNews24 in 2013, he’s been used to being the centre of attention. In 2015 he then appeared in a documentary, and was widely described as a 26-year old with the appearance of a 12-year old boy. These days he’s a social media influencer, but even pictures from 2023 show him still looking like a teenager.  How do doctors explain his condition? What are the causes?

What is kakeibo, the mindful Japanese budgeting method ?

There are a number of possible reasons why people don’t manage to save as much money as they would like. For example: paying for things with a credit card can make you forget how much you’ve spent, or you simply don’t earn enough to save in the first place. You might feel like money saving methods simply won’t ever work for you. But let's go back to basics. A simple Japanese technique called “kakeibo” could just revolutionise your relationship with money. The word “kakeibo” roughly translates as "household expense book". It refers to a notebook where you list your income and expenses, divided into several categories. But there’s a purpose behind all of it, of course, which is being able to save money you otherwise wouldn’t. Where does this method come from ? And why would it work better than other techniques ?

How is the manosphere encouraging dangerous body trends?

In some online communities, men are told that attractiveness depends on achieving an extremely muscular body, a square jaw and other supposedly “masculine” features. And there are impressionable young men out there who end up pursuing those ideals through a trend known as looksmaxxing. As you may have guessed from the name, it means trying to “maximise” your physical appearance. But more extreme communities promote unproven and downright dangerous ways of changing the body.

Why are more and more men joining the no fap movement?

Now if you’ve never heard the word fap before, let me spell it out to you. It’s basically an onomatopoeic slang term for male masturbation. According to Business Insider, the term first appeared in a web comic called Sexy Losers in 1999, to indicate the sound of a male character masturbating. An Urban Dictionary definition for the term was then added in 2002, and usage grew from the 2000s onwards. So obviously now you know what that means, you’ll have realised that the no fap movement means quitting masturbation. And while masturbation is a pleasurable activity for many, the no fap movement against it has been gaining traction for about a decade now. It started out in the U.S. and the aim is to combat porn addiction and masturbation.  Why do all these men want to stop masturbating? Are any of those claims true? What should someone do if they feel addicted to masturbation then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Could CBTI help you sleep better ?

According to the NHS, around 1 in 3 people in the UK are affected by insomnia, and it’s particularly common in older adults. Many people turn to medication like benzodiazepines in an attempt to address their insomnia. Now these generally help, at least to begin with, but they tend to bring less restorative sleep. And if no other changes are made to daily habits, there’s a good chance the insomnia will return once the medication is stopped. What other options are out there then?

Which of Asimov's predictions have come true?

Speculative science fiction really is a genre of its own. Some people love it, others find it pointless, but you can’t deny the mental gymnastics involved in imagining the future of our societies, especially when some of those predictions turn out to be right.  In that field, there are a few writers who stand out above the rest: George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and, perhaps most famously, Isaac Asimov.

For most 18-24 year olds, generative AI is already part of daily life. Research, emails, translations, summaries - AI is everywhere. Its possibilities feel endless, limited only by our imagination.

No one's proud of being unfaithful, but what if some people’s cheating was actually caused by genetics, rather than selfishness?

Is it still possible for young people in the UK to become homeowners?

In the UK, owning a home is still seen as a key sign of financial stability. For many, it means security against life’s uncertainties - job loss, illness, or income drops and a way to build long-term wealth instead of paying rent. Today, according to the comparison site Finder the average age of a first-time buyer is just under 34. In London, it’s closer to 35. That’s several years older than in the 1990s, when most first-time buyers were in their late twenties. So why has it become so complicated to buy now? What about young people specifically?

Why are there more cancer deaths than ever before?

It’s not something we like to dwell on too often, but the chance for each of us getting some kind of cancer during our lifetime is significant. After all, it's the second leading cause of death worldwide according to the World Health Organisation, just behind heart disease. Cancer Research UK puts the estimated lifetime risk of a man or woman getting cancer at nearly one in two. Research has shown the extent to which cancer cases have been growing in recent decades. And not just among the elderly. A study published in BMJ Oncology in September 2023 showed that there had been a “striking” 79% increase in new early-onset cancer cases from 1990-2019. Early-onset is a term used to describe cancer in the under-50s. Why is that then? Isn’t it normal for cancer deaths to increase as the global population grows?

Is it possible to not love your parents?

It’s more common than we tend to admit. Some children grow up with parents who are critical, emotionally distant, or unable to empathize. In that kind of environment, attachment bonds don’t always form smoothly. Children may internalize the idea that they don’t deserve affection and that makes it harder to give it back. Add in repeated abandonment, breakups, violence, or addiction, and some children end up feeling no real attachment to the people who raised them. So, can we choose to love less to protect ourselves? But does our love for them fluctuate over time? So then, how should we think about parental love? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
