SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Have you ever noticed that sometimes you cat simply stops eating in the middle of feeding time? Scientists say that when cats suddenly stop eating, it’s not because they’re full – they may just be bored…of the smell. In a controlled study, even hungry cats often ate only part of their food before stopping, but resumed eating later or when given something new. Researchers found that a cat’s appetite declines as it gets used to a food’s scent, a process similar what humans sometimes experience. Changing the smell, even without changing the food, was shown to reignite cats’ interest in eating. This helps explain why cats prefer small, varied meals, reflecting their evolution as solitary hunters, and could guide better feeding strategies for picky, aging, or overweight cats.

Netflix has no plans to put Hawkins, Indiana, in the rearview. The streamer has announced that its animated series “Stranger Things: Tales From ’85” has been renewed for Season 2. And the wait for new episodes won’t be nearly as long as “Stranger Things” fans have come to expect: Tales From ’85 will be back this fall, after premiering last week. The new show takes place between Seasons 2 and 3 of the live-action OG series, following ‘Eleven’, ‘Mike’, ‘Will’, ‘Dustin’, ‘Lucas’, and ‘Max’ as they fight new monsters and unravel a fresh paranormal mystery during the winter of 1985.
It’s been more than 5 years since iconic comic-actor Sinbad has done a stand-up show, due to a severe stroke — but that all changed on Wednesday. Sinbad, with his daughter and fellow comic Paige Adkins, along with his longtime opener Chase Anthony, were all scheduled to hit the stage at the sold-out Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena. And one thing Sinbad made very clear: “This is just the beginning.” Sinbad suffered a stroke in October 2020, which his family later said was caused by a blood clot that traveled from the heart to the brain.

OF THE DAY
Perhaps our so-called “computer overlords” still have a few things to work on. A Claude AI agent, powered by Anthropic’s Claude Opus model, deleted an entire database at PocketOS, a software provider for car rental businesses. The autonomous coding agent, caused a company-wide outage when it wiped both the live database and backups during what was described as a routine task. Founder Jer Crane said the AI acted on its own initiative, attempting to “fix” an issue by executing a destructive command without permission or confirmation. It later apologized and produced a written explanation admitting it ignored safety rules against irreversible actions. The outage left customers unable to access recent reservations or signups. The data was later restored, but the incident raised concerns about AI safety in production systems.

WEIRD NEWS
By now you’ve heard of Polymarket, the online betting platform that allows people to gamble on virtually any aspect of modern life, from the price of oil — or the results of elections. And it turns out you can even bet on the temperature in a certain place at a given time. Now, gamblers are suspected of tampering with a weather station near Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport to win bets on Polymarket. French forecaster Météo-France noticed unusual nighttime temperature spikes in Paris during March and April, including one jump from 18°C to 22°C — late in the evening. The anomalies coincided with large wagers correctly predicting those exact readings, with some bettors winning tens of thousands of dollars. Analysts found no similar spikes at nearby stations, raising suspicions of deliberate interference – and believe it is possible that someone physically heated the sensor. Authorities have launched an investigation, while Polymarket has not yet commented.

A Threads user recently asked: “What’s something you didn’t learn the truth about until an embarrassingly long time later in life?” Here are some of the embarrassing answers…
⇒ “When you’re told not to operate heavy machinery while using medications, they mean cars. I always assumed (they meant) bulldozers.”
⇒ “I thought ‘no drinking and driving’ meant no drinking…anything. I wondered why cars had cup holders.”
⇒ “I thought McGraw-Hill textbooks were made by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.”
⇒ “I thought the ‘best before’ dates on food were companies bragging that they used to have the best product, but now someone else is better.”
⇒ “I thought Elton John was blind because he wore those wild sunglasses and sat at a piano like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles.”
⇒ “I didn’t realize until middle school that Alaska wasn’t an island…because maps had the mainland US and then Hawaii and Alaska off by themselves in a corner.”
