- Did you know you can't actually notice when you're running a bad habit? That's because your brain checks out and only turns on twice, when the habit starts and ends. Here's how to identify those two moments and change the habit: 🧵 3 Oct 2026

- Saturday Night Live is one of the most creative shows in the last 50 years of TV history. And that's because their writers constantly fought, competed, and shot down each other's ideas.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
