We debunked a few and also figured out the reasoning behind the ones that turned out to be true!

Pregnancy can lead to changes in a woman’s nose, and for some, this transformation catches them completely off guard. A recent TikTok trend, under the hashtag “pregnancy nose,” sees women sharing their before and after pictures.

However, there are cases where people feel that they truly love their boyfriend or girlfriend only for that feeling to quickly fade away.
Most people believe that intimacy means sleeping together as a couple and spending a lot of time next to each other. However, in recent years, more and more couples choose to sleep in separate bedrooms and feel happy about it.

A creative person is pretty much able to do the most amazing things with pretty anything that crosses their path.

That’s why Ayhan dazzles with his tattoos that look like something out of a fairy tale.
