There is always a fascination with finding other habitable planets in the universe, and this was made more plausible with the discovery of seven exoplanets that were found around the star named TRAPPIST-1. It seemed great in the beginning, but after further research, it was discovered that the star may have burned off the atmospheres of the planets. But, never fear, there is new hope after a study identified something on one of the planets, TRAPPIST-1e, that could help sustain life. What is it? It potentially has an ocean on its surface!

The TRAPPIST-1 system has seven planets, and three of them are located in a ‘habitable zone’ which means that they are in reasonable proximity to the central star that they orbit. The main concern is that it is believed the star went through a very intense beginning which, perhaps, burnt away the atmosphere and removed the moisture a long time ago from the surrounding planets.

When studying the planets, it was noted that the planet, which is the fourth closest to the star, could perhaps be habitable. Through research and advanced models, they predicted the fate of each world, and they realized that TRAPPIST-1e may not have been affected by the star and could still have an ocean on its surface.

According to research, TRAPPIST-1b is the closest to the star which means that it is way too hot! The C and D planets get more energy from the star than Venus and Earth do from our sun, and they assume these are more Venus-like than Earth-like. The other planets (F,G, and H) could also be Venus-like or frozen because of their distance from the star and dependency on the water on the planet.

This leaves TRAPPIST-1e as the most likely for life! It’s time to explore more exoplanets and see what there is to discover, especially with exciting technology like the James Webb Space Telescope.

People will always do things differently from each other, and we all have our own logic. Sometimes, the way an individual does something can seem absurd or out of the ordinary. We are going to discuss 40 things that people do differently. Let’s see which category you place yourself in.

Since the invention of phones, many of us don’t use watches anymore. We have this device in our pocket that can offer us information at all times. Thus, we seem to have forgotten that wrist or pocket watches were once an absolutely necessary object to have. Although wristwatches are still popular, they have become more of an accessory that’s related to fashion rather than utility. Should we still wear watches for their utility or just use our phones instead?

I’m sure all of us notice that some people don’t eat the crust of the pizza. What’s up with that? It’s all made out of the same thing, so why not eat the crust, as well? That’s a question that a lot of people cannot answer. They either don’t like it, or it just seems logical for them not to eat it.

Some people pour the milk in the bowl before they put the cereal in. Other people put the cereal first and the milk afterward. Which one seems more logical? If you put the cereal after, it will stay crunchy for a longer period of time. Looking at it the other way, if you put the cereal in first, it will absorb more of the milk and become fluffier. What type of person are you?

Smartphones are a huge part of our lives. Keeping our smartphones secure is a very important thing, since they hold a lot of intimate information about us. Some people use four-digit codes, as they are easier to remember and a lot more practical. However, there are other people who use six-digit codes for extra security. What do you think? Are six-digit codes too much, or are four-digit codes too little? Is there such a thing as too little when it comes to security?

We all have that one friend that sets about ten alarms in the morning. This is extra annoying for the people who wake up with the first one, right? Some people hate mornings, but other people love them. I think that’s the thing that creates a difference here. People who get up with only one alarm have no problems with mornings, or maybe they’re just not heavy sleepers. People who need more alarms are probably people who need a little convincing to get out of their warm and comfy bed.

Some people like to break the rules. Some people just want to watch the world burn. Others simply just don’t give everything that much thought. What do you think about people simply biting a bar of chocolate? Since the chocolate has a specific pattern that can be broken piece by piece, is it normal to bite it? What type of person are you? Would you just bite into a chocolate bar?

Returning to the category of people who want to watch the world burn, this one is interesting. Some people use bookmarks: you put it at the page you left off, you open the book, see the mark, continue your reading. Other people do not know that bookmarks exist, or maybe they just don’t care. That being said, some people just decide to bend the page of a book in order to remember where they left off.

How do you cut your sandwich? Some people think that it’s absolutely normal to cut it sideways. Some people think that it’s absolutely normal to cut it diagonally. What is the right way?! Is there such a thing as the right way to cut a sandwich? Why are there so many questions when it comes to sandwiches? Shouldn’t sandwiches be easy to make and magical to eat? Has society failed sandwiches? No one knows, everyone cuts as they please.

Some people don’t check their notifications. I mean they do, but they don’t. Everyone has that one friend who has 99 notification icons on all of his apps. We can also think of those people who have 1,423 unread emails. Some people have their icons clean so they can know when a new notification pops up. Some people don’t care and just leave them to add up.

Are you a headphone or an earbuds type of person? Is there a right way to listen to your favorite music? Yes, there is. The right way is your own way. Don’t let anyone tell you any different. Some people enjoy using headphones because they cover their ears and eliminate all other outside sounds. Earbuds do the same thing, but they just don’t cover your ears. They kind of seal them. Whether it’s headphones or earbuds, keep on rocking.

To folder or not to folder, that is the question. Are you the type of person who meticulously puts all of your apps into folders that are designed for a certain category of apps? Do you enjoy having more than three pages on your smartphone? Very well then, no one can judge you. Some people prefer folders, while for other people, it’s easier to just swipe and go to the page they want rather than go through folders.

This is a very controversial one. Some people out there think that the only correct way to eat sushi is the traditional way. Other people think that food is food, and you should eat it as you please. What type of person are you? Do you use chopsticks when eating sushi? Do you use chopsticks at all? Perhaps, you just eat the way you learned to eat when you were a child. Either way, we believe both ways can get the job done.

For all the drivers out there, we have reached a topic that has started a lot of fights in the past – automatic or manual transmission? Some people prefer automatic because it’s much easier and more comfortable when driving long distances or driving in the city. The other category of people think that a manual transmission is the only way to feel like you have complete control over the vehicle. Which one are you?

We’ve all seen a desktop that was full of browser windows at some point. Why is that? Since tabs were invented, why do people still use browser windows as a means to organize the way they surf the web? Is it wrong? Is it right? There is no such thing as wrong or right when it comes to these things, it’s all a matter of preference. Some people use tabs when they use an internet browser, others fill their desktop with lots of windows.

Are you the type of person who gives a silly name to your Wi-Fi router? If yes, you can be sure that a lot of neighbors love you! Some people don’t change anything on their router. As long as it works, they just don’t care about these things. Other people care a lot about the small things, and they want to personalize everything that they own. Thus, they re-name their router to something incredibly funny, or not so humorous, depending on your preference.

Do you wear a digital watch or an analog watch? Believe it or not, some people can’t even read analog watches (and they don’t even want to). Other people are more than capable of reading an analog watch, but they just prefer the easier way, which is using a digital one. Watches are a big part of some people’s lives. They are an accessory that represents our style and social status. I think we all pay attention to a man when he wears a Rolex, right?

Now, this is a very interesting one. Some people prefer to watch a series on TV as they air. They don’t want to wait for the entire season to come out so they can watch it all at once. Other people can’t live with the tension and treat their favorite series like a movie, meaning that they want to watch it all at one time. Which type of person are you? Could you watch The Sopranos in one go, or does that just seem crazy?

We all know that there are two types of umbrellas – the classic ones and the ones that fold. Obviously, the umbrella that folds is much more accessible to many of us, since we can store it easier in our backpacks or purses. At the same time, there are people who couldn’t even think of not using a classic-shaped umbrella. Those come with a certain style that cannot be beaten. Our guess is that it’s just a matter of style.

Going back to the tech side of things, there are people who properly eject their USB flash drives and people who just pull them out without caring about their data. Which one are you? Do you think that you should always properly eject a flash drive in order to protect your data? Or do you think that the proper way of ejecting a flash drive is just a conspiracy that was created to eat up more of our time?

Pancakes are a delicate subject. They’re a big part of most people’s world. Some people have entire rituals when it comes to pancakes, while others just don’t care that much about food. The point is, some people prefer syrup on their pancakes, and others just prefer to eat them plain. Which type of person are you? Do you think pancakes cannot exist without syrup, or do you think syrup just ruins them? Some things are better if they are simpler, others are not.

We all do certain small things differently in order to help us. Take ketchup, for example. If you store the bottle with the cap down, you make sure that the next time you’re going to use it, it will easily come out of the bottle. Which type of person are you? Do you think pancakes cannot exist without syrup, or do you think syrup just ruins them? Some things are better if they are simpler, others are not.

Water is one of the few essential things all humans need in order to survive. There are some people out there who couldn’t even imagine drinking still water. They find it too boring, or they just cannot live without the bubbles. Which type of person are you? Do you think pancakes cannot exist without syrup, or do you think syrup just ruins them? Some things are better if they are simpler, others are not.

Ah, we have a grand one here. Coke or Pepsi? This is a great debate that has been going on ever since Pepsi showed up. There are people who prefer one or the other, and there are people who don’t care because they believe that it’s the same thing. Is it the same thing, or is the taste of Coke/Pepsi undeniably better? Once again, this is an endless debate.

Most people love watermelon, but there are people out there who don’t like it one bit. Let’s talk about people who enjoy watermelon and then split them into two distinct categories – people who eat the seeds and people who pick them out. Is there a correct way to eat watermelon? Some people can’t imagine eating the watermelon seeds, since they can create discomfort while enjoying this amazing fruit. Others just enjoy it as it is and don’t think about the seeds.

Writing on blank pages is a thing that a lot of people do, and not all people use notebooks that have lines. Here we have, once again, two big categories of people: the ones who align their writing perfectly and create very straight rows and others who like to live on the wild side and write messier than most. Which type are you? Do you think that writing should be an organized and perfectly aligned thing? What matters most – the way you write or what you write?

Photography is a great way of gathering memories and capturing those moments that you wish would last forever. Since the invention of digital cameras, people who use analog film have become somewhat special. Developing the film takes time, and it can be a handful for some of us. However, digital cameras make everything easier. You can have a whole vacation on a USB drive rather than an album. Even though things have greatly evolved, some people prefer having hard copies rather than digital ones.

For those of you who don’t know, toolbars are still around. Yeah, toolbars are still a thing, and there are still people that use them, even though they seem like a thing straight from 2005. Once again, there are two types of people: the ones who use toolbars because they find them helpful and those who simply cannot understand why toolbars exist and wish they would be destroyed forever. Which one are you? When was the last time you used a toolbar in your browser?

A person’s desktop can be considered a mirror of his mind. You can say the same thing about a person’s room. There are messy people and organized people. It’s just the way things are. In fact, some are more efficient in their messiness than others are in their perfectly organized lives. There are two types of people: the ones who have a desktop full of icons and files and the ones who have folders. It’s all a matter of preference. That being said, what does your desktop look like?

Let the tech battle begin! There are people who prefer an Apple iPhone and those who prefer an Android-powered smartphone. There are a lot of people who think Apple products are overrated and not as efficient as other products. Then again, Apple fans say that the quality of Apple products cannot be compared to anything else! What smartphone do you use? Apple or Android? Do you think it’s a matter of better or just different?

Each and every one of us has our own unique style. Some people would rather have long hair because of the way it looks and also because it’s said that hair shouldn’t be cut off at all. Then again, Apple fans say that the quality of Apple products cannot be compared to anything else! What smartphone do you use? Apple or Android? Do you think it’s a matter of better or just different?

Card or cash? Ever since the invention of the credit card, there are people who have never used cash again in their lives. Carrying money around is dangerous, and it also comes packed with a lot of bacteria. If you didn’t know, money is one of the dirtiest objects around. Although there are situations when only cash can help you, not every store or person can scan a card. What do you think? Is cash something that is outdated or something that will never be outdated?

There are people who have been driving for most of their lives, while other people have been riding the bus for years and years. What type of person are you? Do you think driving is more efficient? In some cases, it’s not! There are cities that have such a good public transportation system that cars are a thing you use only when absolutely necessary. On top of that, using the bus is a great way to help the environment. Which one do you prefer?

Some people recycle in order to help the environment. Even though we should do all we can for the environment that we live in, there are people who simply don’t care and would never recycle. They say that it takes too much time or that the people who are in charge of collecting the garbage put it all the same place anyway. What type of person are you? Do you recycle, or do you think it doesn’t help at all?

This is a relatively new debate since affordable electric cars haven’t been around for that long. Do you prefer gas-powered cars or electric cars? What would you choose if you had the option? When it comes to environmental issues, some claim that creating the batteries for an electric car is just as bad as driving a gas-powered car for 50 years. There are a lot of arguments around this relatively new topic. There’s no question that electric cars are becoming more and more popular, though. What do you think?

This one is a relatively interesting one, since the two are actually completely different things. Although there are teas that contain just as much caffeine as a strong espresso, the two are just completely different beverages when it comes to taste and flavor. Coffee has been around for a while, but tea predates it by far. What do you prefer? Coffee? Tea? Both? Believe it or not, there are people who simply love both. There are also people who hate both.

Most of us love sweets in any form we can find them. Oddly enough, there are people out there who simply hate the taste of sugar. They cannot stand it one bit. Pretty weird, huh? Not at all. It’s a matter of taste, just like most things in this article. There are people who love the taste of sugar, and others who love the taste of salt. There are people who want the best of both worlds and enjoy both just as much. Which one are you?

Ever since smartphones were invented, they’ve been helping us in a lot of ways. Giving us reminders is one of the most perfect examples we can think of. Your memory doesn’t have to focus that much on reminding you of things at certain hours, as your phone can do that for you. The other category of people, on the other hand, believe that you should remember things by yourself in order to keep your brain focused and active. Reminders or memory? Which one do you use more?

Following up on the discussion about the digital era, some people still use physical notes. We’ve all seen some movie with a detective who took notes in a small pad they had in their chest pocket. It seems like an ancient thing if you think about it, right? Most people nowadays just use their smartphones to take notes. It’s simpler, and it makes sure that you’ll never lose them since you can even upload them to your cloud. What do you think? Should notes be taken physically or just stored digitally?

Music is one of the things that makes all of our lives better. Believe it or not, there are people who strongly prefer listening to music on a vinyl player rather than in digital form. Why is that? The sound quality cannot compare. The fact that the sound waves are physically engraved onto the record makes it sound a lot more authentic. It comes with a lot of other complicated aspects, though. What would you prefer – a huge physical library or just an icon on your phone?

As a beautiful ending, we will split people into two last categories: day people and night people. There are people who love daylight and mornings, so they wake up as early as possible to enjoy as much of the day as they can. Other people hate daylight – they’re modern-day vampires if you will. They sleep throughout the day and can only function at night. Which one are you? What do you think is the best time to work or be active? Day or night?
