Many people use dental floss incorrectly, unknowingly just moving food particles and plaque around instead of cleaning properly, which can lead to larger gaps between teeth and even gum inflammation. Dentist Hsu Chia-Jung points out 3 incorrect ways of using dental floss, including pressing vertically down, sawing back and forth, and using the same piece to clean an entire gap. Instead, he demonstrates the correct way of flossing by gently hugging the side of the tooth to remove debris effectively. It is advised to replace the floss after 2-3 uses to avoid causing more harm than good.

Taipei City Councilor Ho Han-ting of the New Party stated that if the Legislative Yuan President cannot vote but merely preside over the meetings, then isn't it equivalent to having one less legislator? Han Kuo-yu voted on the reconsideration case, which eventually resulted in opposition to the reconsideration. Ho Han-ting emphasized that the Legislative Yuan President, as part of the Legislature, must respond to or refute the actions of the Executive Yuan from the legislative perspective.

Different methods were used throughout history by concubines in the royal palace when they couldn't engage in intimacy with the emperor due to menstruation. For example, in the Han Dynasty, concubine Cheng Ji had a handmaid sleep with the emperor in her place. Tang Dynasty concubines could write apologetic letters to the emperor explaining their inability to comply. Later, various warning signals such as red lanterns and bracelets were adopted, symbolizing menstrual periods. The establishment of the 'Respectful Service Department' in the Ming and Qing Dynasties controlled the scheduling of concubines, introducing a new form of competition for favor. This led to bribery and power play among concubines, with those unable to bribe often left at a disadvantage.

During a Foo Fighters concert in London, Dave Grohl made a playful comment seemingly poking fun at Taylor Swift's “The Eras Tour” taking place at a nearby stadium.
