Archaeologists discovered 3,000-year-old honey in Egyptian tombs that was still edible!

Here’s why:
> Low water content: Too dry for bacteria or mold to grow.
> High sugar concentration: Preserves by drawing water out of microbes.
> Acidic pH: Too acidic for most pathogens to survive.
> Hydrogen peroxide: Bees add an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, giving honey antibacterial properties.

Basically, honey is nature’s perfect preservative. As long as it’s sealed and dry, it can last forever!

Day 2 (I forgot🫣)
Octopuses have three hearts.
Did you know an octopus has three hearts? Two of them work constantly to pump blood to its gills, while the third takes a break every time it swims—only pumping blood to the rest of its body when it’s at rest. Their blood isn’t red like ours, but blue. That’s because they use copper-based hemocyanin instead of iron-based hemoglobin to carry oxygen, a perfect adaptation for cold, low-oxygen ocean depths. It’s a reminder that life evolves in wonderfully alien ways to fit its world.
