Never in my life had I imagined a day where I could wake up, stretching my arms to the sky as the goose bumps danced along my skin....without that feeling.

A sped-up recipe for honey garlic chicken. A baby laughing so hard, I can't help but laugh too.

10 Shocking Psychological Studies That Crossed Every Line
Introduction : Psychology is meant to heal, to help us understand the mind, and to bring light to the darkest corners of human behavior. But sometimes, it does the exact opposite. Throughout history, some psychological experiments have gone so far off the ethical rails, they became nightmares in the name of science.
