It’s clean, powerful, and — unlike wind or solar — it doesn’t depend on the weather. But one big question keeps popping up: What about the waste? Is it dangerous? And where does it all go? Let’s break it down: ☢️What Is Nuclear Waste? Nuclear waste mostly comes from used fuel rods in reactors. These rods stay highly radioactive for thousands of years after being used. Sounds scary? It is — but only if mishandled. 💧Step 1: Cooling in Water Pools Right after use, fuel rods are placed in deep pools of water at the nuclear plant. Why? The water cools them and acts as a powerful shield agai...

  You know you're an Old Fool on April Fools’ Day when : You prank your grandkids by telling them you joined TikTok… and they believe you until you say your handle is @DiscoDancingGramps69 . You replace your spouse’s pills with jellybeans… then forget which ones were real. You yell "Alexa, delete the internet!" — and panic when the lights flicker. You send your buddy a text saying, “The aliens have landed!” — only to get back, “Took 'em long enough.” You walk into a room and forget the prank you were going to pull… then laugh anyway because forgetting was the prank. Old Fools have experience, wisdom, and decades of bad jokes under their belts — and now, one magical day a year, they finally get to use them all at once. Poor world. So go ahead, sprinkle some whoopee cushions, install fake updates on your friends’ devices, and proudly mispronounce “meme” as “me-me.” Just remember: the key to being a truly great Old Fool isn’t just pulling pranks — ...

It was expensive, controversial, and plagued with images of mushroom clouds, meltdowns, and radioactive disasters. Plants were being shut down, policies were shifting to solar and wind, and nuclear was seemingly on its way to becoming a relic of 20th-century optimism. But here we are in 2025, and guess what? Nuclear energy is back in the spotlight—and this time, it might actually be the hero we need. So, what’s changed? Why are countries pouring billions into new nuclear projects when just a decad...

The short answer? Not really. But that’s not the whole story. Let’s rewind for a second. Not long ago, privacy meant closing your curtains, locking your diary, and keeping your personal life, well… personal. But fast-forward to today, and our lives are increasingly digital.

I’d be sunbathing on my private island, sipping smoothies made by a very polite robot named Charles. But alas, here we are—me writing, and you watching or reading—because AI, for all its brilliance, still can’t predict the future. And yes, that includes the next Powerball jackpot. So, let’s dive into the wonderfully ridiculous things people wish AI could do—and why those things are, well, hilariously impossible.
