How long different animals live, in a vintage infographic by pictogram pioneer Otto Neurath circa the 1930s. Neurath created ISOTYPE, the visual language that gave rise to modern infographics.

Last summer, Andreas Richter, a 28-year-old computer programmer who lives in Berlin, wanted to get rid of some stuff: clothes, DVDs, a set of drinking glasses. He didn’t want to throw out the items — still perfectly useful — but he also didn’t want to have to schedule pickups or use DHL for a couple of T-shirts. So instead, he got out his power tools and built a telephone-booth-sized structure that he called “Givebox” on his street in Mitte (Steinstrasse 37b). Since then, the project has taken on a more interactive aspect and has expanded to other locations and even other cities.

There is a chemical in a girls’ brain is released only two different times in her life, when she has sex, and when she breast feeds her baby. This chemical emotionally connects her to another person for the rest of her life. Us guys? We only release this chemical when we bond with our children. So if you think sex is a game and go around fucking as many girls as you want, remember that you can mentally mess this girl up for the rest of her life. If you’re still friends afterwards then whatever, but she will always feel some sort of feeling for you, just because of the chemical.

It’s called Oxytocin, it’s actually released when a woman gives birth as well. But this is so true… sex is more than just a game, and this is a clear reason that explains why humans were only created to have sex with just one person. Doing it with multiple people will have a very strong negative effect on your relationship with the person you want to be with for the rest of your life. I wish more kids knew about this… not that this should be your only motive not to have sex before marriage, but it is one of the most important.

Everyone should know this.

Learn it. Love it. Swear by it.
