episode 66 - 7/06/16: Sloths, Chocolate, and Skin Orgasms

from Six Degrees of Rumination · host Nina Reno and Michael

You haven't seen a viral video until you've seen a sloth pooping.  In other science, low fat chocolate is created (Reno is unimpressed), the phenomenon of onions making us cry is explained (producer Mike is unimpressed), and why some people get "skin orgasms" from listening to music is explained (Nina is impressed). http://www.sciencealert.com/this-is-the-horror-that-sloths-have-to-go-through-every-time-they-poop http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/06/25/482538542/with-a-zap-scientists-create-low-fat-chocolate?sc=17&f=1007 http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/06/22/482032913/the-science-of-why-onions-make-us-cry?sc=17&f=1007 http://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-think-parasitic-worms-could-be-the-key-to-treating-multiple-sclerosis http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/06/08/412314701/lost-posture-why-indigenous-cultures-dont-have-back-pain?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20160703 http://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/2016/06/27/seniors-go-virtual-to-relieve-pain-loneliness/ http://www.popsci.com/ai-pilot-beats-air-combat-expert-in-dogfight?src=SOC&dom=tw http://www.sciencealert.com/iceland-is-the-most-peaceful-place-on-earth-according-to-the-stats http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2016/06/24/481859662/invisibilia-is-your-personality-fixed-or-can-you-change-who-you-are?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20160624 http://www.sciencealert.com/hundreds-of-genes-caught-sparking-to-life-2-days-after-death http://www.sciencealert.com/the-ozone-hole-is-finally-closing-up http://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-why-some-people-get-skin-orgasms-from-listening-to-music
