Sorry, Your Cat Might Consume Your Corpse When You Die Alone
“But during a routine scan of images, student Sara Garcia gasped at the sight of one feline that turned up in late 2017 and at another a few months later. These cats — one black, one striped — weren’t wandering. They were eating. This was interesting in part because domestic cats are known as predators, not scavengers. Both started eating when the bodies were in early stages of decomposition and ended at the onset of ‘moist decomposition,’ when fluids begin leeching. Both ate all the way to the bone. And although the cats had a buffet of more than 40 bodies from which to choose, each one returned to the corpse it had selected again and again — one almost nightly for 35 nights straight.”

Living a Lie: We Deceive Ourselves to Better Deceive Others
“What’s so interesting is that we seem to intuitively understand that if we can get ourselves to believe something first, we’ll be more effective at getting others to believe it,” says William von Hippel, a psychologist at The University of Queensland, who co-authored the study. “So we process information in a biased fashion, we convince ourselves, and we convince others. The beauty is, those are the steps Trivers outlined—and they all lined up in one study.”

Psychology of Competitiveness | Eastern Oregon University Online
One study of just this concept found that nearly half of people surveyed would rather make $50,000 in a world where the average salary is $25,000 than make $100,000 in a world where the average is $200,000; that is, they prioritized making more relative to other people rather than having a higher overall income. As the saying goes, “If you and I are being chased by a bear, I don’t have to outrun the bear; I just have to outrun you.”

Criticize Thai Government
Criticizing the government in Thailand can be risky, especially if it involves the monarchy. Thailand has strict lèse-majesté laws (Article 112 of the Criminal Code), which criminalize any perceived insult, defamation, or threat toward the king, queen, heir-apparent, or regent. Violators can face up to 15 years in prison per offense.
Beyond lèse-majesté, other laws, such as the Computer Crimes Act and sedition laws under Section 116 of the Criminal Code, have been used to prosecute individuals for criticizing the government, military, or judiciary. People, including activists, journalists, and ordinary citizens, have been arrested, fined, or jailed for expressing dissent, particularly online.
While some forms of criticism are tolerated, open and direct opposition, especially regarding the monarchy, can lead to severe legal consequences.
