This app tells me I’m going to die 5 times a day, and I love it

Matt Horne / Android Authority Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been showing friends a notification on my phone. It simply reads, “Don’t forget, you’re going to die.” Most of them immediately responded by looking at me with a mixture of confusion and concern. I like to let that look sit for a moment before explaining what’s going on. Far from suggesting that I’m unraveling mentally, these notifications are from an app that wants me to cherish life.

9 Best Natural Deodorants, Tested and Reviewed (2025)

These Deodorants Are Just OK Photograph: Louryn Strampe Kopari Performance Plus Deodorant for $20: This deodorant smells great—like a floral, beachy coconut. It’s more fresh than sweet, and I’d say it’s unisex-leaning-feminine. It goes on clear and smooth, and it didn’t stain my clothes at all. However, it didn’t last me through a workout without reapplying, unlike some other brands I tried. I think it’s fine, but I wouldn’t call it a “performance deodorant.” If you’re looking for a clear form

When is the best time to book your flight? These Google insights could make your next trip cheaper

Jaromir/Getty Images The last time I booked a vacation flight, I literally spent over an hour finding the cheapest ticket to Hawaii with two criteria in mind: that it wasn't a red-eye flight, and it only had one layover. At least one layover was to be expected (at LAX) because Kentucky is a long way from the Aloha State.
