36-year-old brothers Hugo and Ross Turner have become known as a pair of human guinea pigs in recent years, with the pair allowing themselves to be monitored during a series of lifestyle and fitness tests in the name of science.

The brothers have climbed Europe’s highest mountain in different sets of clothing order to understand the impact of high-altitude on the body, uncovered whether it’s better to work out for 20 or 40 minutes as well as comparing vegan and omnivore diets.

So it’s fair to say their nickname of ‘Adventure Guinea Pigs’ is one which is well-earned.

For their latest experiment, the brothers were once again testing the impact of diet on our health – this time comparing the merits of high-fat versus high-carb diets.

Explaining the experiment in an interview with Business Insider, the twins revealed that Ross had added 500 calories of carbs to his diet while Hugo did the same with fats. The rest of their respective eating schedules remained fairly similar.

The brothers then performed similar workout routines throughout the experiment in order to ascertain whether or not it was better to have more fats or more carbs.

So which diet is best for our bodies?

Well, it looks like the long-held demonisation of carbs has been an unfair one.

Scientists monitoring the pair at the University of Loughborough acknowledged the experiment wasn’t big enough to confirm whether one diet could be considered ‘better’ than the other.

However, there were differences in how both the brothers were feeling at the end of the process.

Results revealed that Hugo was able to gain more muscle by consuming a larger amount of high-fat foods such as olive oil, butter, nuts, eggs, and avocado, but the adventurer had admitted that he’d felt more fatigued on the diet.

“I just never felt good,” he admitted. “I was eating at least six times a day and never felt full or satisfied, hence I was constantly hungry.”

Meanwhile, Ross saw less muscle growth but also lost body fat and performed better on tests. He was able to feel fuller from the meals but also had cravings for higher fat foods.

So what does this mean for those of us mere mortals who are just looking to get healthier but don’t have access to laboratory-run tests? According to the scientists who ran the test, not much beyond the fact that’s important to follow a healthy and varied diet.

But you probably knew that anyway.

Debates over what is and what isn’t acceptable plane etiquette isn’t anything new, with stories of people taking their shoes off mid-flight, fights over assigned seats and drunken behaviour going viral over the years.

And Brazilian woman Jeniffer Castro recently saw a clip of herself in this exact predicament circulating online.

Castro then asked the child’s mother for the youngster to move out of her seat – prompting the woman to whip out her phone and begin filming the 29-year-old, saying: “I’m recording your face, this is disgusting. It’s the 21st century and people have no empathy for children.”

Following the clip going viral on social media, Castro has appeared on Portuguese language podcast Cola Mais to give her side of the story – revealing she is considering taken action against the mother for sharing her face online.

“Measures are now being taken,” she reportedly answered, when being asked if she’d considered legal action.

“What I went through wasn’t easy. The flight attendants could have asked me if I need anything, or if I was bothered by the passenger, but they didn’t. They stayed out of it.”

LADbible Group has previously contacted GOL Airlines for comment.

Castro didn’t clarify whether or not the ‘measures’ she was considering taking were legal or not, but went on to shed further details on what went down during the short journey.

The 29-year-old explained that she’d waited for the toddler to leave after boarding the flight, before another passenger instructed her to change seats.

“A guy across the aisle said ‘Change with him, you sit next to the aisle and he’ll have your place’,” she said.

After getting her assigned seat, Castro claimed the mother behaved ‘very’ rudely towards her while the child ‘cried’ throughout the entire flight.

Castro also revealed that she was thankful for the support she’d received online from people who were supportive of her decision not to swap seats.

The video had received a mixed response from viewers, however, a good proportion agreed that it’s unacceptable to demand someone swap seats with you and then film them for saying no.

“She is well within her right not to move! I’m sick of self-entitled parents,” one person wrote under a clip of the video on Facebook.

“Passenger didn’t asked to be filmed because of parent being entitled. Hope she wins,” a second added.

This is something which has been proven by scientists, astronauts and viral YouTube experiments time and time again (hate to break it to you Flat Earthers but the world is round). Sorry.

So how then was a Flat Earther able to win an argument over a selfie taken on Mount Everest?

Taking to the thread r/pics, user u/amazed_spirit shared an apparent selfie on the tip top of Mount Everest, which stands at 29,030ft.

“Checkmate Flat Earth Society,” the caption read. And fair enough, the Earth’s horizon in the background does look pretty round.

But it didn’t take long for the original poster’s argument to be disproven, as you’d need to be at a height of 35,000ft minimum in order to see the Earth’s curvature.

Which means that summiting Everest means you’re still about 6000ft off.

U/SadConfiguration said: “You can’t see the curvature of the earth from the top of Everest. That’s a fisheye lens. Flat Earthers are a waste of skin but don’t be fooled into thinking you can see the curvature of the earth from 29,000ft. If that were true you could see it from plane windows.”

A user – who’s since deleted their account – wrote: “There is better evidence of earth being a globe than a fisheye-lens photo (namely science done thousands of years ago & verified ad nauseum).”

World Atlas also backs these arguments up, as a person standing on the summit of Mount Everest would be able to see 230 miles into the distance – which is not enough to see the curvature of the Earth.

Emboldened by the original faux pas, Flat Earther, Pete Svarrior took the opportunity to get a rare win over his adversaries and did a ‘quick Google reverse image search’ which came up with the ‘original photograph’.

Revealing his findings in Flat Earth Society forums, Svarrior wrote: “Sure enough, it wasn’t taken in 2018, and sure enough it has nothing to do with the Reddit user. It was actually taken in 2012 by Dean Carriere.

“More importantly, Dean was kind enough not to strip EXIF data from the photograph. A copy of the (seemingly) unaltered original file can be found here.

“Anyway, let’s finish stating the obvious, now that no speculation is required. The photo was taken with a GoPro Hero3-Silver Edition with a (35mm-film-equivalent) focal length of 16mm. It’s an ultra wide-angle lens, and so the entire image is distorted.”

And as you can see in picture post adjustment, well, the curve is nowhere near as dramatic as the Reddit user’s post or the photograph with the lens effect still in play.

Although, the remaining slighter curve Svarrior puts down to an ‘irregular’ occurrence which he attributes to ‘imperfections in both the lens and the correction algorithm’ of course.

Things seem to speed up though, particularly if you’re getting accused of a ‘pump and dump’ crypto coin scheme.

The meaning is in the name, it’s when a coin is ‘pumped up’ in value by a celebrity or something else driving it, and then sold so that the creators can make profit.

‘$HAWK token’ lost its buyers millions, and as the face of it, ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ Haliey Welch was cancelled on social media.

The cryptocurrency scandal threatened to end her career as quickly as her viral street video started it.

News of her alleged transgressions with the coin did the rounds online, but it looks like Welch is back, in a leaked podcast episode with content creator FaZe Banks.

The cryptocurrency, which reportedly reached a jaw-dropping value of $490 million (£393 million) at the end of 2024, CoinTelegraph reported that it dropped by more than 90 percent.

Lawsuits have been filed against those behind the coin, while the conversation around the unlawful promotion of selling cryptocurrency also became a popular topic online.

She took to her podcast to reveal that it wasn’t just regular people that suffered, as her own ‘pookie’ (boyfriend, for those not down with the slang), was also hit.

Kelby Blackwell, Welch’s significant other, even teases her about it.

“Pookie lost money too,” she revealed. “He said, ‘How you going to take my money?’ He still gives me s*** all the time. He says, ‘I wish I had my $300 back’,” Welch added.

It may just be $300 (£242), but the fact he had to bring it up really sends the message across.

Speaking more about the crypto venture as a whole, Welch admitted it didn’t go to plan, and felt sorry for those who lost money.

Explaining that it was a ‘friend of a friend’ who came up with the idea, she said: “It was brought to me as a long-term coin that would change the way everybody thinks about crypto,

“And I feel really bad for all the people that got affected by it. It just didn’t go the way I planned.”

Looking back, the internet star also said that she should have reacted more to red flags that she noticed about the person behind the project.

She admitted: “I probably should have looked into him a little bit more.

“He was acting a little bit weird on the day of the launch, and that made me suspicious.”

The Pornhub and OnlyFans creator is one of the most popular in the world, which is proved by her eye-watering earnings.

It’s said the adult industry titan has made a reported £15 million after 14 years in the line of work, having started aged just 19.

Reid, real name Ashley Matthews, has been given countless awards and was even inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame back in 2021.

Reid is now married and has a child of her own, though she hasn’t stopped making spicy content.

But she did make the move to stop shooting with men, believing it ruined her dating life, and a year later, she met her husband Pasha Petkuns.

However, when she was making content with men, she made a horrific error that’s enough to make any bloke cross their legs and cringe.

While speaking about BDSM on the Stiff Socks podcast, Reid was asked: “What’s the most you’ve ever f***ed somebody up on set?”

While she mentioned that she would have to stomp on guys and even kick them in the crown jewels, there was something worse, because it was unplanned.

“I actually once, or actually twice, cut a penis with my nails j***ing it off, my nails sliced going down,” she admitted while giggling. Sorry for putting that image in your head, lads.

The 33-year-old went on: “Before, I didn’t used to do acrylics and stuff ’cause I used to be all natural, so I’d just have like my real nails,” with co-host Trevor Wallace comparing it to ‘a bayonet’.

“Every time his d*** got hard, blood would start squirting out of the little cut. I don’t know if it HURT hurt, it felt kind of like a paper cut,” the adult star explained, and then finally took the measure to file her nails down before future scenes.

Though it wasn’t on purpose, it sounds incredibly painful and thankfully for male actors in the industry, it didn’t happen again.

Incase you missed it, Spanish series La Isla de las Tentaciones (Temptation Island), a show which couples’ test their relationships by being tempted into being unfaithful, is currently going viral worldwide due to contestant José Carlos Montoya’s reaction to watching his girlfriend cheat on him via a livestream.

Forced to watch his partner Anita Williams do the dirty with another man, Montoya decides he simply can’t take it any more, screams out in pain and runs the length of a beach in order to confront her. A moment which you don’t need to speak Spanish in order to understand what’s going on.

“Montoya, Por Favor!” three words which have just changed the world of reality television forever.

The video has since been viewed millions of times across the internet, leaving viewers with just two questions: ‘How can I watch Temptation Island?’ and “What will Montoya do next?’

Unfortunately the series isn’t available outside of Spain, which means that us global viewers are deprived of full access to the drama.

Thankfully key clips have begun to circulate online, including Montoya kicking over an iPad after seeing Anita kiss another bloke and her reaction to him receiving a very raunchy lap dance.

The social media star has also defended his reactions, with an explosive confrontation between himself and fellow La Isla de las Tentaciones contestant surfacing online.

In a moment orchestrated by the show’s host Sandra Barneda, contestant Kiko Jiménez told Montoya that he doubted his authenticity and accused him of playing up for the cameras during his many viral moments.

“I’ve seen your journey, I’ve seen you’ve been in other places, on other shows, and I’ve seen a lot of Montoyas,” Jiménez said, as translated from Spanish.

“I don’t know which Montoya is here anymore.”

The comments did not sit well with Montoya, who naturally responded with a fierce rebuttal, a manner we’ve all come to expect from the reality star.

“Montoya goes where he shines, that’s what bothers you,” he responded.

“I’ve earned things because I’ve been in love with my partner from minute one.”

As for the current status of Montoya and Anita’s relationship, that remains to be seen. The time we see the couple is when a remorseful Anita runs after him towards the end of one of the clips, however, he appears to be heavily hinting at his apparent heartbreak online.

“Anyone else out here suffering from love and trying to come back,” read the translated caption on his most recent Instagram post, suggesting that Montoya is still feeling the sting of the viral moment.

Shayna Crimo – like many of us – is a dog lover and helped to raise two of her own pooches, but was recently left screaming for her partner to call 911 after trying to kiss one of them.

She had just got home from an art class to her dogs, King and Krieo.

Sadly, Krieo was recently diagnosed with cancer, which developed quickly – and Shayna believes this contributed to King’s unusual behaviour.

The Reno-based 31-year-old, who has tattoos of both of her dogs’ names on her arm, admitted that she’s in denial for her mental health at the moment.

Having raised King for 11 years since he was a puppy, the unprovoked attack took place after she went down to give him a kiss.

The American claimed that he doesn’t have a history of being violent, and has never been aggressive, but he bit her.

She recalled: “As soon as I went to give him a hug and a kiss, he bit me immediately. There was no growl, there was no warning, he didn’t back up, he didn’t make any noises, nothing. It happened so fast.

“I remember the sensation of being shook, which was horrible, and then I ran into the bathroom, saw what I looked like, screamed bloody murder for (her partner) to call 911.”

Shayna added that King does not ‘like to be messed with’ at night, something she has kept in mind while raising him, highlighting that nothing like this has ever happened.

There were no ‘warning signs’.

Now, Shayna is missing most of her nose and needs forehead flap surgeries to reconstruct her face, though this all happened just days before Krieo, her 13-year-old dog, was meant to be put down following his cancer diagnosis.

She suggested that this may be a reason for King acting out.

She explained: “These dogs literally grew up with me. I’ve had them for over a decade… they are my children essentially. Do I want to put King down? Absolutely f*****g not.”

“I would rather stay home for the remainder of his life and never go anywhere, never have to have babysitters, and just be extra careful, but that’s not an option.”

Just two days after her first surgery, Krieo was sadly put down and while she is still living with King, she continues to weigh up the dilemma of whether or not to let him go after going through the traumatic event.

On Thursday (6 February) a Cessna Caravan plane, operated by Bering Air, vanished from flight radar trackers during a flight in the western area of the US state.

The plane had departed from Unalakleet that afternoon and had been heading towards the city of Nome.

However, the aircraft’s radio cut out at around 4pm, prompting the flight to be reported as missing and a rescue mission to be launched.

A member of the city’s volunteer fire department later stated the pilot had previously informed air traffic controllers that the flight had entered a ‘holding pattern’ while waiting for the ground to be cleared.

However, wreckage from the aircraft has since been located around 34 miles southeast of Nome, with no survivors expected.

Confirmation of the crash site and the status of the 10 people onboard the plane was revealed on Friday (7 February) by the US Coastguard.

“[The] #USCG has ended its search for the missing plane after the aircraft was located approx. 34 miles southeast of Nome. 3 individuals were found inside and reported to be deceased,” US Coast Guard Alaska wrote on X.

“The remaining 7 people are believed to be inside the aircraft but are currently inaccessible due to the condition of the plane.

“Our heartfelt condolences are with those affected by this tragic incident.”

It’s understood the aircraft was a commuter plane and had been carrying nine passengers and one pilot.

In a press release, the US Coastguard added: “The Coast Guard determined the severity of the wreckage was beyond the possibility of survival.”

“My heart is broken over the news out of Nome. Alaska is a big small town,” she wrote.

“When tragedy strikes, we’re never far removed from the Alaskans directly impacted. But that also means we come together as a community to grieve and heal.

“We are deeply grateful to the Alaska National Guard, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Nome Volunteer Fire Department, the Alaska State Troopers, and all those who braved dangerous conditions to conduct the search for the downed aircraft.
