I looked into my past, and tried hot-sauce ice-cream.

• Terrifying chemist NileRed vaporises a chicken drumstick in "piranha solution". At under two minutes, this is the sort of science experiment that would never have been allowed in high school science class.
   
• The extended version of "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" from Rocketman is an absolute joy: a triumph of transferring musical-theatre style to cinema as an apparent one-shot. (And editors: have fun spotting how they cut this down almost-seamlessly for the theatrical release, with the help of some location cheats and added people walking through the shot.)
   
• Actual mortician Caitlyn Doughty asks: can you keep someone's skull as a keepsake after they die? (While I'd say this is probably safe for most viewers, this is probably something parents should check through before watching it with kids!)

• I've no idea how I missed Nicky Case's The Evolution of Trust until now. It's incredible. Set aside half an hour or so and play through it: it feels like exactly the sort of thing the web was built for. (Thanks to Brian for sending this in!)
   
• If you enjoyed Wordle last week, but are frustrated that there's only one a day: hello wordl will ruin the magic for you, and let you play until you get bored and burn out of the whole thing.
   
• Lead aprons are no longer recommended during routine X-rays and I had absolutely no idea. I feel like that's the sort of thing I should have known by now.
   
• And finally, Jalopnik asked their audience: what's the worst subscription-based car feature you can imagine?

Here's hoping my prediction from this week's video doesn't quite come true. But if it does... well, thanks for being a part of this newsletter.

All the best,
