And you though we live on an overpopulated planet. Turns out the entire Solar System's crowded and there's not enough space for another planet. If another orb gets thrown into the mix, the whole system will get out of whack. With collisions and not enough place to roam. This according to astronomers Julia Fang and Jean-Luc Margot at UCLA. Who after extensive simulations of faraway star systems have concluded there is no more room for another planet. In out own galaxy only 8 balls have survived. This after countless collisions and migrations. They have settled into their own orbits and in their time make their way around their established system. Everything is settled and each planet has its set course. Another planet will create unnecessary confusion and other plants in that galaxy will need to adjust, which would result in all hell breaking loose. The earth is in motion and all is well as it orbits its own star - just as all the other planets in the universe. Source: Herald Z...

Here comes an amazing Life Pro Tip from Redditor livebythem. basically this is the way it works. if you need to snack more on veggies and fruits - cut them up beforehand and store them in some Tupperware. This way whenever you need to snack on something - open your container and start snacking on fruits and veggies. This is very helpful for most people since we eat more out of boredom rather that hunger. The key OP says is that they need to be sealed in leak-proof Tupperware and then even apples will stay fresh for a week. Cutting up Apples and other fruit beforehand and storing them in leak-proof containers should do the trick. When sitting in front of the TV, most of us reach out to munch on junk food and something that is oily and unhealthy. If you have your fruits already cut and ready to be eaten. Just open your container and mindlessly chomp on fruits and vegetables. Other Redditors also suggest using zip-lock bags. Do this after squeezing as much air out as possible - helps fru...
