Doing Nothing for 2 Hours - An Educational Experience? (@Muhammad Didit)

He just...sat there. For 2 hours and 20 mind-numbing minutes. Meet Muhammad Didit, the 24-year-old Indonesian who broke the internet...by doing absolutely nothing.

As the world rushed by, he simply existed, staring blankly ahead.

No words, no actions.

Was it a prank?

Didit's description revealed it all - Due to certain societal pressures in Indonesia, they wanted me to create content with educational value for young people. As a result, the video of doing nothing for 2 hours was born.

And just like that, this video amassed over 2 million views.

Do you think this video deserved such high viewership?

Many people are aware that sleep positions significantly affect sleep quality and comfort during the night, but not everyone knows that certain sleep positions may also increase the likelihood of experiencing nightmares. The Link Between Sleep Positions and Dreams Theresa Cheung, a dream interpretation expert and bestselling author, suggests that sleep positions can indeed influence the nature of our dreams. Although everyone dreams regardless of how they sleep, studies indicate that sleeping on the right side may lead to more emotionally expressive and healing dreams compared to sleeping on the left side, which has been linked to an increased likelihood of nightmares. This is potentially due to the added pressure on the heart when sleeping on the left side, which can lead to poorer sleep quality and a higher incidence of nightmares.

The Knife Angel, also known as the National Monument Against Violence & Aggression, is a powerful contemporary sculpture created by British artist Alfie Bradley. Standing at 27 feet (8.2 meters) tall, this striking piece is made from over 100,000 knives collected from amnesty bins and police seizures across the United Kingdom.

The Dancing Plague of 1518, also known as the Dance Epidemic, is one of history's most peculiar and baffling events. It occurred in the city of Strasbourg, France (then part of the Holy Roman Empire), and saw dozens of people dancing uncontrollably for days on end. The phenomenon remains largely unexplained, but it has captured the imagination of historians and researchers for centuries. This article explores the details of the event, the possible causes, and its lasting impact. Historical Context of the Dancing Plague In July 1518, a woman named Frau Troffea began dancing fervently in the streets of Strasbourg. She danced for several hours without stopping, and within a week, dozens of others had joined her. Reports suggest that at its peak, around 400 people were affected by the urge to dance. These individuals danced continuously for days, some even collapsing from exhaustion, and a few reportedly died from heart attacks, strokes, or sheer fatigue. Strasbourg in the Early
