Comforting (to know that others do it) and hilarious (I laughed out loud, often), this also leads to some interesting observations about how ideas become words in our head.
Forgetting the correct word
Pet hair removal by dishwashing gloves
Follow-up pro-tip: I’d read that dish gloves were good at removing hair from upholstery and clothing, and big yes! I bought these:
And was able to easily brush off the armrests of my microfiber couch, and a sweatshirt that was on its way to becoming a fuzzy sweater. It’s jut like crumbing a countertop, except the hair stays together in a nice easy-to-pick-up line.

This kind of thing may get me to pay for YouTube Premium. Although the second one (also free) is not quite as good, in my opinion.
Cat Slicker Brush
Fellow cat owners: I bought this after seeing a good review of it, and wow, does it work well! You have to brush carefully (if you have an old cat like I do), but it really gets out the undercoat and loose hair. And then when you’re done, jut push the button to retract the tines and the hair falls right into the trash. I might grow my hair out so I can use it on me too.

Excellent video. What a place!
Psychological Placebos – Science-Based Medicine

"A thorough understanding of placebo effects is critical to the science of medicine, and to understanding how objectively worthless interventions can become so popular. A recent https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-37945-1 presents a series of experiments that take a look at psychological placebos, where the intervention is not medical, but purely psychological. The results are not surprising, but they are instructive for both practitioners and researchers."
