Europeans have finally discovered Miswak and are selling the revolutionary toothbrush for £3.90



A Czech company named Yoni recently posted a video about a "revolutionary" new product called the Raw Toothbrush, full of ~ minerals and vitamins ~.


Just FYI — Yoni is the Sanskrit word for female genitalia.

It has so many benefits!!!!



It even has its own little test tube to be carried around in.




However, like most revolutionary ideas people have had of late, this idea too comes from a tradition many across the world, especially Indians, have stuck to for thousands of years — a miswak twig.


The most commonly used twigs have been miswak and neem, and they cost much less than £3.90.

Of course, people immediately started calling them out for waking up a few thousand years late to the benefits of using miswak.




When will this stop?!

The next breakthrough invention! Edible water bottle ball aims to replace plastic bottles



Ooho is a drinking water product created by a startup known as Skipping Rocks Lab. The product is reported to hype up the internet due to making “eating water” possible and getting rid of plastic bottles at the same time.
According to Extreme Tech eating water was made possible by the startup due to the product's packaging. Ooho was seen as a spherical blob which has water encased in it making it a squishy bottle. Yet, the huge surprise is that you could actually eat the whole blob of water with no plastic bottle needed.
Ooho was mentioned to be created through seaweeds used as its membrane. The edible bottle’s membrane was composed through spherification which includes sodium alginate from seaweed and calcium chloride. Each ball was then mentioned to only take 2 cents in order to produce it thus saving money as well.

Moreover, amid Ooho being edible, people are still given the choice whether to eat the membrane or not since it was identified to be tasteless and has an unusual surface when eaten. Yet, people could still throw it away and not eat it because as it was mentioned to be biodegradable it will just break down as a compost on land or ground over a week or so.
Furthermore, the Ooho product aims to be “the global solution to water and drinks on-the-go.” The startup mentioned that they also aim to replace and get rid of plastic bottles as they pose a great environmental issue to the world.
With that said, BGR reported that the downside of the product not becoming global is that it only makes one gulp of water compared to a bottle. Another disadvantage of Ooho was its delicate membrane not being able to toss it anywhere or pack it into someone’s bag pack.
Ooho was first unveiled back in 2014 and is now envisioning global customer targets to reach their goals. The Skipping Rocks Lab’s Ooho product already has 1,000 independent investors willing to help them fund money on their site online. The startup also mentioned that they are now currently working on another seaweed based product that would aid in sustainable packaging solutions.

Work From Anywhere: 25 Cool Apps for Digital Nomads, Corporate Escapists, and Loony Adventurers




In the past 3 years, I have already run my business from Lebanon, Indonesia, Morocco, Iran, Kenya, and South Africa. Always on the hunt after a stable Wi-Fi connection, but free of fixed working hours.
My office can be my bed as well as my favorite local coffee shop. My only tools are a laptop, a smartphone, and a pair of headphones to isolate myself from the noises of the outer world. Needless to say, I’m 100% dependent on technology to be able to work from anywhere the word.
Technology sometimes fails me. There’s no Internet. My computer freezes up. The phone is dead.
But most of the time, it is technology what makes it possible to keep my dream of time and location freedom alive. Both quality hardware and handy software. That’s why I’ve selected a list of really useful apps that will help you stay connected, productive, and above all relaxed.

DOCUMENTS

1. Docady

Snap a photo of all the important documents you don’t want to carry around. The app will help you arrange the paperwork into relevant categories and safely store everything you might need on your travels.

2. PandaDoc

There’s no need to send your proposals or contracts via snail mail. You can easily create, share, and sign documents with legally binding electronic signature software.

3. Docracy

There’s also no rush to look for a lawyer every time you need a simple contract. Use this amazing open database of legal documents instead.

SECURITY

5. Hola

9. Solo

If you work as a freelancer, most project management apps probably don’t address your specific needs. Solo will not only help you get stuff done, it will also assist with monitoring your performance, tracking your time and expenses, generating invoices, or managing clients.

10. WudaTime

Easily track the time you spend on individual tasks with the help of this free browser-based tool.
