Imagine a chemical so persistent that once it enters the environment, it never really leaves—kind of like glitter after a craft project, but way more sinister. That’s the reality of PFAS, the “forever chemicals” that have infiltrated our water, soil, and even our bloodstream. In *How One Company Secretly Poisoned The Planet*, Veritasium unpacks the shocking history of these compounds, tracing their origins from a seemingly miraculous discovery to a global contamination crisis.

PewDiePie’s latest dive into Linux is equal parts hilarious and insightful. In his video, he talks about how Windows has been “torturing” him for years, pushing him to finally make the switch. He praises Linux for its lack of bloatware, its freedom to customize, and—surprisingly—its growing viability for gaming.

His enthusiasm is contagious, and his journey from frustration to liberation is something a lot of people can relate to. Whether you’re a hardcore techie or just someone tired of Windows updates inter...
