Local DJ & producer Debrii posted the 30-second clip of the dance remix on TikTok and Instagram, to which the Maltese public reacted fairly well, with the clips gaining thousands of views and hundreds of shares within the span of a few hours.

As the local music scene continues to thrive under the stressful conditions of the pandemic, a light-hearted revival of one of the country’s most beloved TV theme songs is just what we all needed.

Masturbation before bed leads to better sleep, English doctor argues

Aug 6 2021

Whether it’s preparing a nice cup of tea or putting on some soothing music, everyone has their own pre-sleep ritual but English GP and author Dr. Jeff Foster’s suggestions for some self-love before sleep have made headlines all over the internet.

In an interview with Glamour magazine, Dr. Foster stated that “masturbation is the same as sexual intercourse, and therefore, the differentiation between the two is only significant in terms of that fact that other people may or may not be involved in the process.”

The doctor argued that sexual activity and the resulting orgasm trigger the release of hormones such as dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin and prolactin which ultimately leave a sedating effect.

Rare fish with ‘human teeth’ spotted in North Carolina

Aug 6 2021

The fishing world has gone absolutely crazy after a regular at Jennette’s Pier in North Carolina found a fish with seemingly ‘human’ teeth which has been identified as a ‘sheepshead fish’.

The fish’s name is as such due to the mouth resembling that of a sheep, with photos of the catch with its mouth open exhibiting multiple rows of molars which are meant to catch and crush prey.

Nathan Martin, the man who caught the fish, told a local news station that the fish not only posed a fight but it also tastes very good.

What would you do if you caught a fish like this?
