This is deeper in the den with dangerous date. Electric
cars may be easier on the planet, but for some
passengers harder on the stomach. Studies have shown that people
often feel more motion, sickness, and evs than in gas cars,
and there's science behind it. Without the rumble of the
engine or the familiar vibration, your brain gets your clues

(00:20):
when you speed up and slow down. The electric cars
have a feature called regenerative braking, which creates a slower deceleration.
All those things put together, you've got the perfect recipe
for possibly throwing up. Researchers say it's all about the
neutral mismatch, which basically means your eyes, your inner ear,
and your body aren't on the same page. But don't
expect this to be the way forever. Scientists exploring fixes

(00:43):
like adding subtle vibrations, lighting and visual clues that your
brain will anticipate what the car is about to do.
Until then, the driver's seat might be the safest spot
for your stomach. So I guess if you're going to
travel in a EV might want to bring a bag
with you. Deeper in the who's more excited for going
back to school? Your oldest kid, your youngest kid are you.
This is a poll of one thousand adults asked how

(01:05):
they felt about going back to school when they were kids.
In thirty five percent said they were generally happy, fourteen
percent were very happy, and thirty eight percent said generally sad.
Sixteen percent said very sad. Another twenty five percent said
they weren't happy or sad. Then, parents with school age
kids asked how they felt about their children going back
to school. Fifty one percent said they were happy and

(01:26):
twenty two percent said very happy. That's seventy three percent total,
twenty two percent sad, seven percent very sad, and another
twenty three percent said they were neither happy nor sad. Unfortunately,
parents who are sad about it might be stressed about
school related concerns. In the poll, they asked the most
common concerns parents have. Bullying top the list, followed by
students not meeting their learning objectives, violence, student depression, anxiety,

(01:50):
teacher shortages, funding shortages, and banning of books. For what
it's worth, when people asked how they prefer we handle
the shortages of teachers and funding, seventy four percent said
pay teachers more. Twenty nine percent said they'd like to
see the school day reduced to four days a week
instead of five. You know, my favorite thing about the
school year coming up this year is the fact that

(02:12):
I'm still not going to school. Tune it again for
