Wow what a frustrating website to scroll through. Interesting way to display the data but from my understanding this theory isn’t accurate. Having memorable moments is what makes time seem longer. That’s why when we’re younger and try new things all the time that period seems memorable. Going to the same job in the same place for years makes it feel like time flies by because there is no new experience in that period.

    You're probably thinking of the twitter account @justsaysinmice, https://twitter.com/justsaysinmice https://twitter.com/justsaysinmice. For the uninitiated and otherwise unaware, many studies regarding illnesses, disease, nutrition, exercise, medicine, etc. perform clinical trials with mice. Resultant publications are picked up by news outlets who headline the results, without the caveat that the results were only found in mice. Mice are, notably, not humans and the results don't (in fact, rarely ever) carry over 1:1.

  Humans evolved as endurance hunters. We have some of the best heat management features of all animals like no hair and sweating.

  What's this in English? They were randomly assigned a diet, and could eat as much as they pleased? I find it hard to overeat a low carb diet, so if mice feel the same way, they would then benefit from caloric restriction on such a diet.
