6 Things that only happen in North Korea

There are places in the world that seem surreal to us.One of them is North Korea, where things happen under the mandate of Kim Jong-un that seem to be taken out of a horror movie like the ones we tell you below.

28 haircuts

In North Korea there are only 28 haircuts allowed, such is the dictator's control over such personal and unimportant aspects as this.Men have 14 haircuts and can have a maximum length of 4 centimeters.Single women should wear it short.

Both the cultivation and consumption of marijuana is legal

Curious, taking into account the strict and extensive list of restrictions imposed by the dictator in his country.

Ultra-powerful leaders

Citizens must believe, and if not more they pretend well, that the leaders have supernatural powers. Since childhood they are told all kinds of stories, away from the re alidad, with the aim of making them submissive and fully controllable by the system.

One of the examples is that of the father of the current ruler who is said to have the power to control the climate.On Kim Jong-un se He says he was born from heaven, that generated a huge rainbow by his arrival.

Do you want a movie? Kidnaps a director

In the year 1978 , military agents kidnapped the movie director Shin Sang Ok and actress Choe Eun Hui, who It was his wife, to have several forced movies made.Fortunately, both of them were able to escape from the place a few years later.

Convictions that extend generation after generation

It's incredible but true.who commit a crime will not only be condemning themselves but also their family , particularly if the crime is treason to the regime (something we do not even contemplate in today's societies , since freedom of expression and thought is presupposed) or stolen.

The punishment is not to go to jail, but to forced labor camps where many of those sent there die d and hunger .On the other hand, both the one who committed the crime and his family, up to 3 generations, will be paying the crime.

'Voting' every five years

Kim Jong-un says his government is not a dictatorship because its inhabitants go to the polls once every 5 years, although there is only one candidate who is the one.Obviously, you cannot leave the vote blank or void because you can end paying for it with your life and that of your relatives.

Absolutely incredible.

This factor is No. 1 when trying to maintain and improve your social relationships

One of the fundamental factors for all human beings, after solving the most elementary needs such as food and housing, is that of human relationships; and that is one of the senses of the famous phrase of Aristotle that defined us as "political animals", that is, animals that need to live in society. That is why it is so important to maintain and improve your social relationships , something that is not always easy to achieve, especially if you do not know this simple rule that we will talk about next. This factor is No.1 when trying to maintain and improve your social relationships Emma Seppala is Scientific Director of Research and Education for Compassion and Altruism at Stanford University, and author of several books on human relations and the elements that favor or hinder these interactions.

Why do we hear "hidden messages" when listening to music backwards?

Have you ever heard music backwards? What do you think happens? In today's article we want to talk to you about what, in the 60s, became a fad. In 1969, Beatles fans had the strong conviction that one of their leaders, Paul McCartney was dead and this fact was being hidden from public opinion. The evidence supporting that belief was the "mysterious messages" that were hidden in the lyrics of his songs when they were heard backwards. In the song "Revolution 9" you hear the phrase "excite me, dead man" in English when the audio is played in reverse.That is one of the messages that made believe that McCartney was dead.But even if all these statements have been categorically denied, we can still find videos on YouTube with Beatles songs played backwards.Have you heard any? If you do, you will realize that these messages are clearly there, another thing is that they mean what they say they mean. Then, if we listen to those messages when we hear th...

The most abundant bird on the planet

On a previous occasion Science Daily Online I published an article about a curious variety of chicken, which was 100% black.Now we will talk a little about the origins of the chicken and how it dispersed throughout the world. "In writing hen one" In Around the day in eighty worlds the writer Argentine Julio Cortazar included a brief science fiction story, in which a chicken tells how, thanks to a NASA experiment, her sisters become intelligent and decide to take over the planet, even if they still do not control the syntax. It is not something that should be completely disdained, if we consider that at this time there should be approximately thirteen billion chickens, roosters and chickens , which makes this species the bird more abundant s work the land. Lineage and history The Gallus gallus domesticus is a subspecies of the wild bird Gallus gallus , from the family of the Phasianidae , which inhabited Southeast Asia.The current roosters and chi...

Why do we remember the pain?

Like many other great findings about science, the discovery about the reasons we remember the pain was a coincidence.From these first Discoveries have conducted different research on pain and suffering as well as on pain memory and chronic pain . In 1954, two researchers at McGill University in Canada accidentally discovered how humans learn to repeat a behavior that is beneficial for our survival. An electrode implanted in the brain of a rat had slipped from its intended place and stopped in the medial beam of the anterior brain , a group of nerve cells that reach from the depths of the brain to the prefrontal cortex.After receiving a series of desc electric argas , the rat showed great interest in the area where he had been exploring when he received the first jolt. At first, the researchers, James Olds and Peter Milner, they thought they had found the region of the brain responsible for governing curiosity. But after conducting further research, Olds and M...

The terrible Tuskege experiment against syphilis

The Tuskegee experiment is one of the most enlightening evidence that human cruelty has no limits.This clinical study appears between 1932 and 1972 was honored to the title "Turk's head." The story you are going to read It will seem like science fiction but it is not.Of course it is not. The Tuskegee experiment: the inoculation of syphilis in an illiterate population of Alabama For most of the century XX, the black population remained in a situation of semi-slavery.They were the ones who performed the worst jobs, had no right to education and were completely marginalized from Caucasian citizenship. Therefore, Dr.Taliaferro, creator of the experiment, did not have no scruple when recruiting more than half a thousand men to perform what was supposed to be a chance to get r free health. All these patients were never informed that they were undergoing an experiment to find out if syphilis medications (very aggressive at that time) were really useful or if their ef...

When the world smells like nothing: anosmia

I have a friend, let's call him Jesus, who after ten years fell from a wall and hit him hard on the head that led him to the hospital, where he took some stitches and examined him carefully to rule out major injuries.Apparently it was fine, and it would be several years before he realized that he did not perceive odors, that in the coup he had lost one of the apparently innocuous senses with which we connected to the world: the sense of smell; loss that the medicine calls anosmia . Thirty years later, after overcoming a bad cold, Jesus discovered that his ability to smell the world had returned, and since then no He has stopped celebrating it in various ways, for example, doing cooking courses and experiencing new dishes with smells and flavors whenever he can and his financial resources allow it. This is not the case with Boak Duncan, native of Leeds (United Kingdom), that after suffering a serious head injury, also due to a fall as a seven-year-old boy, he lost his sense o...
