Pigeons prefer gambling over predictable rewards if isolated or bored
A study found that pigeons prefer gambling for uncertain rewards rather than predictable rewards, especially when they are isolated or bored. The novelty and unpredictability of gambling provide a heightened state of arousal, which may be more rewarding than guaranteed rewards. This study demonstrates how even animals can exhibit a preference for excitement and unpredictability over stable and reliable outcomes.
The correlation between phone usage and human weakness
A concept explored in the book 'The Scarcity Loop' by Michael Easter is the correlation between phone usage and human weakness. Similar to slot machines, which exploit human vulnerabilities, phones can create a similar addictive cycle. The unpredictable rewards, social comparison, and novelty provided by phones trigger human weaknesses and lead to compulsive behaviors. However, awareness of these vulnerabilities can help individuals limit phone usage and regain control.
Sarah saw a recent interview with her Rivals 3 partner and she would like a chance at a rebuttal. We object! We're talking about that ding-dong billionaire is trying to reverse aging again. Turns out his penis is young again, but this whole schtick is old. ChatGPT is insulting us by making the ugliest version of Sarah and Susie winning the Challenge, and we think it's a conspiracy. Susie is mad about wax museum pranks and Sarah is mad about stunts--specifically the one where Jarod Leto climbs the Empire State Building to promote his dumb band. She is also not falling for a nipplebra from Kim Kardashian. We discuss the Met Gala's new theme of Sleeping Beauties and what the delicate pieces the name refers to entail. We learn whether expensive weddings correlate with wedded bliss or not. Susie tells us what happens to pigeons (and people) when they're bored.
