The Internet Loves Digestion Walks; Here’s Why.
Written by Kai Voorhees
It all started when I came across a short-form video of a girl walking with the caption, “when I find out about digestion walks”. It was a simple video, but it caused me to research this unknown concept.
A digestion walk (also known as a fart walk) is a short walk taken after eating a meal. Research suggests that taking a five-minute walk after eating can significantly reduce the risk of diabetes and can promote weight loss. It is also said that these walks can help you live longer because of these things. This practice isn’t new. Researchers found that people as early as the Renaissance have been taking walks after meals.
First, I would like to preface this article by saying that I am not a doctor. This is why I encourage you to check out some of my sources (linked below) if you want more information about what a digestion walk is or how it works. I am not writing this article to tell you to start doing digestion walks. I am here to analyze why the internet seems to love these walks.
There are a few main reasons why I think people love digestion walks so much:
They are quick and easy.
Even a five-minute walk can have a tremendous impact on someone's health. This makes it super easy to fit into a busy schedule. Doctors say that digestion walks still have the same effects as long as you fit the walk in within an hour of eating.
They help improve your physical health
After what I have just shared, it should be no surprise that digestion walks have an impact on your physical health. They help lower blood sugar after a good meal. They raise energy levels and help digest food more quickly.
They help improve your mental health
Along with the obvious physical health benefits, digestion walks also help with your mental state! Digestion and other types of walks have about the same mental benefits.
In conclusion, I think people online love digestion walks because they are quick ways to level up their physical and mental health. Users all over social media have captioned their posts with “#fartwalk”. Will you be joining?

Why Do Lighthouse Keepers Go Crazy?
Written by Kai Voorhees
You may have heard the mysteries about lighthouse keepers and why so many of them “go mad”. When I was bored one day, I decided that I needed to research why this happens. What I found is that there are many dangers when it comes to working in a lighthouse. Some of these include isolation from society, extreme weather conditions, and many physical demands.
An example of isolation from society would be “The Smalls Lighthouse Tragedy". In 1801, there was a lighthouse off the coast of Wales that was called The Smalls Lighthouse. There were two keepers who were hired to work there. Their names were Thomas Howell and Thomas Griffith. Within a few months of working there Thomas Griffith died. This left Thomas Howell alone. The story goes on from here, but due to it being awfully bloodcurdling I will not describe the next events. It is said that Thomas Howell went insane and died a few months after his partner. This is one of the many reasons lighthouse keepers go crazy.
Another danger of being a lighthouse keeper is bad weather. With most lighthouses being in remote areas near water, there are lots of weather conditions that could be dangerous. One example of this was the Flannan Isle Lighthouse in 1900. It was at this lighthouse that three keepers disappeared. They were never found. It was thought that they were caught by a huge wave or storm at the coast that washed them off the island. Another example is the Eddystone Lighthouse. It was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. In 1703, during the Great Storm, the Eddystone Lighthouse was obliterated by storms, resulting in the deaths of its keeper, Henry Winstanley. Bad weather is another reason why being a lighthouse keeper is a dangerous job.
Physical demands can also cause injury or danger in lighthouses. Keepers must climb steep, narrow staircases, sometimes carrying heavy equipment, to reach the top. Considering that most lighthouses have more than 100 steps, if a keeper falls, it would be a very serious injury. Physical demands also are dangerous things lighthouse keepers have to deal with.
In conclusion, it is clear that lighthouse keeping is a very underrated and underestimated job.

Crumbl Cookie’s NEW CONTROVERSY
It All Begins Here
Written by Kai Voorhees
In case you need a little catching up, Crumbl Cookie is a fast growing chain with stores all over America. It was founded in 2017 by two brothers living in Utah. It originally started as a “side hustle” for them to try to make the best chocolate cookie in the world. It blew up thanks to their amazing marketing tactics which seemed to be everywhere. Next thing you know, everyone is making videos trying it.
Along the way, Crumbl has been caught up in some controversies.
For one, they were found having 14-15 year olds in multiple states at multiple locations operating dangerous machinery. On the U.S. Department of Labor site it states, “violations affecting 46 workers at Crumbl Cookies’ locations in California, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Utah and Washington. Violations ranged from employing some minor-aged employees to work longer and later than the time the law allows to assigning others to operate potentially dangerous ovens and machinery.” However, this article is about Crumbl’s latest controversy. Or what I like to call the Crumbl Cookie Calorie Controversy.
Now, I want you to imagine this. You are on a diet and have been seeing these delicious cookies everywhere. Tiktok, Instagram, YouTube, any platform you can think of are filled with videos of people eating them. So you find a store near you, and go inside. You are immediately engulfed by the scent of warm vanilla, sugary confectionaries, and warm cookies straight out of the oven. You look at the menu and see a huge pink sugar cookie for only 130 calories. It seems almost too good to be true. And it is.
While Crumbl is going out saying their Pink Sugar Cookie is 130 calories, that isn’t the case. People on the internet found that one whole cookie is 520 calories. The internet exploded with hate towards the brand. One user on Reddit wrote “This is why Americans are FAT” under a post about the calories.
On Youtube, a Youtuber known as “paigeeastworld” posted a short form video with the title “Crumbl cookies should be ashamed” talking about this exact thing. In the video she says she heard about Crumbl Cookie and went to go check them out. In the video she says, “and I'm thinking, ‘wow! That’s great! So low in calories! I’m going to eat a bunch of these!’ Which I did.” When she found out the count was only for a fourth of a cookie, she went on to question the viewers, “Now who’s out here eating a quarter of a cookie?” Another YouTube user by the name thenutritionnarc went as far as to make a video called “Guessing the calories of crumbl cookies”. In the video he opens it with a plate full of store bought cookies side by side with a Crumbl cookie saying, “this is how many store bought cookies you can eat for the same calories as one crumbl cookie”.
Now let's take a quick dive to see which Crumbl Cookie has the most calories.
First, we must set the tone by seeing how many calories are in the classic chocolate chip cookie. This is a staple in the Crumbl Cookie menu and is a pretty basic one. On the website it says ¼ this cookie is 190 calories. To eat the full cookie, it is 760.
Now that we know what a normal chocolate chip cookie is, we can proceed to Crumbl’s most calorie cookies.
5: Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie
First, we have the “Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie” cookie. This was released for the week of February 17th, 2025. It is held at the number five spot because it has a calorie count of 1,100 per cookie. This is about ½ of the recommended calorie intake for a day.
4: Brownie Sundae
Crumbl released their Brownie Sundae cookie for the week of September 29th, 2025. It is 1,130 calories per cookie.
3: Double Fudge Brownie
At third place we have the “Double Fudge Brownie”. This cookie was released for the week of August 18, 2025. Although the names are similar, do not confuse this with the “Brownie Sundae” cookie. They are very different from each other. With the differences, comes a change in calories. This one, has earned itself the third spot on the chart. This is because it has 1,180 calories per cookie.
2: Cookies and Cream Brownie
At 2nd place is the “Cookies and Cream Brownie”. It has 1,200 calories.
1: Jimmy Fallon’s “Holiday Seasoning” Candy Cane Brownie
Crumbl partnered with Jimmy Fallon to release this limited edition “‘Holiday Seasoning’ Candy Cane Brownie” just before the holiday season in 2025. This cookie earned itself the number 1 spot on the chart for being a whopping 1,210 calories. This means it is 890 calories less than the daily recommended calorie intake.
Overall, a Crumbl Cookie is okay every once in a while, but over consuming them can be potentially dangerous. Buying the four pack and ranking them like every influencer seems to be doing is very unhealthy (and expensive!).
