Here are five things you should know this week

Can you keep a secret?

They say loose lips sink ships, or said differently, discretion is key and not everything about you needs to be public knowledge. This isn't necessarily because you have things to hide, you might just not feel like talking and there's nothing wrong with that.

In such situations, it helps to know how to keep your mouth shut without coming off as rude. Definitely an essential life skill.

In Other News

We stumbled upon this archive of motion capture videos for the first Mortal Kombat game (released in 1992). VHS quality but it's still solid gold.

You'll soon be able to retract your WhatsApp messages. Read that again.

Short stories you can take with you are a great way to kill time (and maybe improve your vocabulary).

Have a lovely week!
