Gluten Could Be Wrongly Blamed for Americans’ Stomach Troubles

gizmodo.com Ed Cara 2025-12-30 03:10:02

For many of us, gluten is a dietary villain, capable of causing all sorts of gastrointestinal troubles. Research out this week looks to complicate that narrative, however, finding that people are sometimes wrongly blaming gluten for triggering their symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Scientists at McMaster University in Canada conducted the study, a small, randomized trial of IBS patients. People became sicker just as often after eating food containing gluten or wheat as they did after eatin

Is Your Iced Coffee Making You Dehydrated in the Summer Heat? I Asked the Experts

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-12-31 23:51:03

As the summer sun beats down, we should all stay hydrated, as dehydration can increase our risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. However, when I saw the National Weather Service in Las Vegas advising residents across parts of California, Nevada and Arizona to stop drinking caffeine in extreme heat to prevent dehydration, I wondered if that was taking things too far. To find out whether caffeine actually causes dehydration to the point where you need to put your iced coffee down, I consulted

‘The Odyssey’ Sold Tickets a Year in Advance and Things Got Crazy

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-01-07 12:00:18

The Odyssey tells the story of one man’s long journey home after the Trojan War. And while the journey to Christopher Nolan’s adaptation won’t be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites. Surely, no one would sell tickets for a movie a year in advance, right? Only that’s exactly what happened. And it

Call of Duty cheaters complain after Activision launches new wave of mass-bans

techcrunch.com Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai 2026-01-08 17:59:19

Several players of the popular first-person shooter Call of Duty complained last week that they were permanently banned from the game for using a well-known cheat. Video game streamer ItsHapa wrote on X last week that Call of Duty players using ArtificialAiming, a cheat provider of more than 19 years, were the targets of a “massive wave of permabans,” referring to bans that cannot be reversed, which prevents cheaters from creating new accounts.

Uranus Leaks More Heat Than We Thought

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-12 17:25:45

When Voyager 2 flew past Uranus in 1986, the spacecraft detected a surprisingly low level of internal heat from the planet. Since then, scientists believed Uranus to be the odd one out in our solar system’s family of giant planets—the others being Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune—who all tend to emit more heat than they absorb from sunlight. Now, a new study suggests that scientists may have had the wrong idea about Voyager 2’s data: Uranus does have an internal heat source similar to its planetary

Want to be Seated for ‘The Odyssey?’ Some Showtimes Are Out Over a Year in Advance

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey opens in theaters one year from this Thursday—on July 17, 2026—and something big might be coming to celebrate. Showtimes (just showtimes, not a way to actually buy tickets) for select IMAX 70mm screenings of the film have begun to show up on ticketing websites, which is odd because a) It’s over a year in advance, b) Nolan is still making the movie, which means c) there isn’t a locked-in runtime yet.

For the first time, solar was the largest source of electricity in the EU last month, supplying a record 22 percent of the bloc’s power. At least 13 countries saw solar output hit a new monthly high in June, according to an analysis from energy think tank Ember.
