Guy Fawkes and Anonymous

By Jesse

Since this skillshare was originally presented on the 5th of November I thought I’d do something around Guy Fawkes day, to keep it nice and contextual.

The way I got to this topic was that I was thinking of the ‘domino effect’ meme, which features a picture of a man who’s crouched in front of these dominos that increase in size. The idea is to caption the smaller domino with something, and then caption the bigger domino with something that seems wildly unrelated but is actually somehow connected – usually by some convoluted story.

First tip: returns are processed even faster if you select the option to take them directly to a Takealot drop-off point, instead of waiting for them to be collected.

Medical Myths quiz

Medical myths

By Jesse

There are a surprising number of medical-related myths that we’ve been told (or even taught) in our daily lives that are untrue.

Take the tongue taste zones, for example. I was taught about these in school, and there are diagrams that exist that show how the tongue is supposedly split into areas that each experience a different taste and work together to give your mouth a full range of tastes. Despite being taught in schools, this is untrue, and can easily be disproved by putting a bit of salt on the tip of your tongue – this is supposedly the area that can taste sweetness, but you can taste the salt just fine.

Why we should buy music again

Why we should buy music again

By Tom

What is the last album you bought? Can you even remember? I suspect that is the case for most people these days. As a DJ in my spare time, and just generally being a music obsessive, I find huge joy in discovering and collecting music. I also fully understand why people turn to streaming services like Spotify with its seemingly endless library, ease of use and almost psychic algorithm which just knows when you need to hear some Fleetwood Mac. Perhaps its biggest drawcard is its price point but that’s also potentially its biggest drawback. If an individual Spotify Premium plan costs only R59.99 a month, it’s hard to imagine how much of your money is actually getting to the musicians who are the platform. If you really want to support the artists you love, then it’s time you start buying their music again, whether singles, EPs or albums, because it’s more important than ever before.
