Long before Ethiopian monks in the 9th century discovered that coffee tree fruit helped them stay awake during evening prayer (according to legend, anyway), communities in Southeast Asia have been chewing betel nuts—the seeds of the areca palm and a stimulant that heightens people’s alertness, energy, euphoria, and relaxation—since antiquity.

El Salvador’s Crypto President Could Stay in Power for Decades After Changes to Constitution

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-12-15 18:50:12

El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly approved changes to the country’s constitution on Thursday that will extend presidential terms from five years to six and abolish term limits. That means President Nayib Bukele, a far-right crypto enthusiast who’s allied with President Donald Trump, could potentially stay in power for the rest of his natural life. First elected in 2019 on a promise to crack down on gangs, Bukele was supposed to be prohibited from running for re-election in 2024. But the countr

The school year starts soon for many students, and ChatGPT has announced a new “study mode” that aims to prevent—or at least, encourage against—students taking homework shortcuts.
