The Weird and Wonderful Stories of 2022

During 2022, the news wasn't just about war, politics or the global energy crisis. Shoes made from coffee grounds or dogs that became famous on social media brought weird and wonderful stories that provided entertainment from everyday life.

A strange building appeared on the coast of the city of Brighton in the south of England. The upside down house is attractive to visitors. The furniture is attached to the ceiling, so people can pose under it for pictures. A simple rotation of the photo, and it looks like you're hanging upside down.

Leftover coffee does not go to waste in Helsinki

Finnish firm Rens found a creative way to turn coffee shop by-product into waterproof sneakers. A pair of sneakers contains about 300 grams of coffee grounds, equivalent to 21 cups.

"In the beginning, we realized that only five percent of coffee waste was recycled in the world. And it's actually bio-waste, which releases methane gas, which is 32 times more harmful than carbon dioxide gas that causes the greenhouse effect. So , what we do is simply extend the use life of the waste," says Jesse Tran, co-founder and CEO of Rens.

In Hong Kong, a florist created an alternative to the traditional Valentine's bouquet

Katie Kwok's vegetable bouquet combo reduces waste and provides a delicious meal for a romantic dinner. She grows her own vegetables in a small garden located in the north of Hong Kong.

Her family started the business with an organic farm, but gradually chose the most visually appealing vegetables for her bouquet business. She hopes to create a new trend and help spread local organic seasonal produce.

A winery in northern Spain is aging wine at the bottom of the sea

The Crusoe Treasure Company keeps bottles of wine in bins, 20 meters below the surface of the sea in the Gulf of Plentzia. White wines are aged for about six months, while red wines usually spend 12-15 months at sea.

Laboratory analyzes of Excell Iberica wines have shown that they are chemically different from wines that are aged on land.

"The taste is absolutely unique. It's not sweet, but at the same time, it's not bitter either. It's hard to explain. You have to try it to understand," says Alan, a tourist from Miami who visited winery this year.

Pets were fun and wonderful during 2022

A dog named Marcel became famous on social media after his owner shared posts documenting the four-legged dog's life. French owner Aurélie Four posts on Instagram photos and videos of him traveling, visiting monuments, and even other countries.

Thanks to Marcel's large following - almost 140,000 people - companies now hire the dog for advertising. He earns thousands of euros a year as a social media star.

Most of the money goes towards Marcel's health insurance and treatments, as well as his food. A small portion goes to a dog charity.

Dogs can now be identified by their nose prints, thanks to a new technology created by a South Korean company

The technology works by scanning a dog's nose with a mobile phone camera connected to an app called 'Anipuppy'. Seoul-based biometrics and artificial intelligence company iSciLab Corporation says every dog's nose is as unique as a human fingerprint.

The system can help people find pets if they get lost and prove their ownership.

"It's a biometric nose pattern recognition technology for animals like dogs and cats, and also cows and deer. It's an AI-based 3D biometric algorithm that we've developed so you can take pictures of nose patterns for identified every animal," says Sujin Choi, director of iSciLab Corporation.

In San Francisco, a chef opened a restaurant with dishes for dogs

For $75 each pup can have a multi-course dinner featuring chicken skin dishes or filet steak with tartar and quail eggs at the restaurant called Dogue.

Rahmi Massarweh created the restaurant after leaving his stressful job at a regular restaurant.

"Cooking food here is a very time-consuming process. There are many techniques. There are many methods and details to what we create. Our desserts, for example, take an average of two days to prepare, despite being eaten in two seconds," he says. the cook.

Goldfish are often considered less intelligent than animals

But researchers at Ben Gurion University in Israel showed that these aquatic creatures have unique navigation skills. They trained a goldfish to "drive" a robotic platform with a container of water placed on it.

"A fish moving in a terrestrial environment is not very different from a person trying to, for example, navigate in space, which is a very foreign environment for human beings. So it can be very useful to understand if space is really represented in a universal way in different species," says Prof. Ohad Ben-Shahar, in the university's Department of Computer Science.

While Great Britain had a politically turbulent year, with three different prime ministers in just a few months, a resident of 10 Downing continued to hold the job.

Larry the cat was brought into the building by then Prime Minister David Cameron to solve the rat crisis at one of the world's most famous addresses. Maçoku entered his new home on February 15, 2011 and has been a much-loved resident since then.

But will he emerge to welcome another new prime minister in 2023?
