What’s the first thing you do when you’re bored…or have a few minutes to kill? Grab your phone and check social media, right? Well, here’s a tip: Avoid swiping through online videos – because you’ll end up even more bored than you were before. New research shows that the act of quickly watching snippets of videos before moving on to the next one, and the next one – a move called “digital switching” – actually increases boredom instead of alleviating it. In a study involving 1,200 volunteers, it was found that people reported being less bored when they watched just one video. They found the viewing experience more satisfying, engaging and meaningful than when they bounced through different content, with the ability to skip, fast-forward and rewind clips. Study author Katy Y.Y. Tam concluded: “Just like paying for a more immersive experience in a movie theater, more enjoyment comes from immersing oneself in online videos rather than swiping through them.”

Eating
your offspring may be a sign of good parenting in some species. The
thought of any creature devouring its babies may be horrific to us,
but for some animals, such as certain fish, reptiles, and amphibians,
that's not the case, according to 2019 research published in
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. Among these creatures,
sacrificing some of their young via cannibalism may be a way to help
their other offspring survive when overcrowding becomes a
problem.

“Inside Out 2” has confirmed a special opening for its home release. The Pixar blockbuster is set to arrive on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD on September 30. The home-viewing format will feature a range of additional features, including a brand-new cold open. The description reads: “In this alternate opening, a now 13-year-old Riley awkwardly fumbles her way through an original song she wrote for a school audition.” Fans will also get to see deleted scenes and other bonus clips.
Johnny Depp‘s second directorial effort “Modi — Three Days on the Wings of Madness,” will make its debut at the San Sebastian Film Festival next month. The film, which stars Riccardo Scamarcio as famed Italian painter ‘Amedeo Modigliani’, is set to premiere in the festival’s out of competition strand. The synopsis says: “Modi” is “a tale of art, love and rejection” that “follows a 72-hour whirlwind of chaotic events through the streets and bars of a Paris torn apart during World War I.” It also stars Stephen Graham, Al Pacino and Antonia Desplat. Modi marks Depp’s return to directing after his 1997 debut with the critically panned “The Brave.”

Children in England will be taught how to spot “fake news” as part of a planned overhaul of the school curriculum. The perils of online misinformation were brought into the spotlight earlier this month when false information helped to fuel violent, far-right riots across the UK. As a result, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson announced: “It’s more important than ever that we give young people the knowledge and skills to be able to challenge what they see online.” The curriculum review is intended to develop plans to “embed critical skills in lessons to arm our children against the disinformation, fake news and putrid conspiracy theories awash on social media.”
