  • The Discovery That Will Make America Even Richer

    The Discovery That Will Make America Even Richer
    Nov 11 2025
    A game-changing discovery has been made in the U.S.—the world’s largest lithium deposit was found inside an ancient supervolcano on the Nevada-Oregon border. The McDermitt Caldera holds an estimated 40 million metric tons of lithium, nearly half of the world’s known reserves and twice as much as Bolivia’s famous salt flats. Since lithium is essential for batteries in smartphones, laptops, and electric vehicles, this find could reshape the global supply chain. With demand for lithium expected to skyrocket tenfold by 2050, the U.S. might finally reduce its dependence on foreign suppliers, especially China. In 2022, America imported 70% of its lithium-ion batteries, but this discovery could change everything. If mining begins as planned in 2026, the U.S. could become a major powerhouse in the lithium industry, fueling both innovation and economic growth. Learn more about your ad choices.

    These Normal Things Are Prohibited Around the World
    Nov 11 2025
    You'd be surprised at some of the everyday things that are banned in different parts of the world! For example, chewing gum is a big no-no in Singapore because they want to keep their streets clean. In Milan, Italy, it’s actually illegal to frown in public unless you’re at a funeral or visiting someone in the hospital. Australia has some strict quarantine laws, so you can't bring in fresh fruits or vegetables. Even something as common as wearing high heels is banned at certain historical sites in Greece to protect the ancient monuments! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    When Boston Was Flooded with the Giant Wave of Sugar
    Nov 11 2025
    Back in 1919, Boston got hit by a crazy disaster when a huge storage tank filled with molasses blew up, causing a sticky wave to flood the streets. This wave was 25 feet high and moved at 35 mph, smashing buildings and trapping people. It was like a real-life horror movie, with molasses everywhere, making rescue efforts super hard. The disaster ended up killing 21 people and injuring 150 others. Even years later, people said they could still smell the molasses on hot days! Learn more about your ad choices.
