In Volume 2’s installment of Nick’s picks, we’re exploring the realm of the Lazarus Effect. The creatures highlighted are some of the greatest comeback artists in the annals of natural history—species that managed to disappear from science’s radar for decades, centuries or even tens of millions of years. And unlike Lazarus, who only needed four days to orchestratehis return to the main stage, it seems that nobody told these overachievers that their little game of hide and seek was called off ages ago when people just stopped looking (or never bothered to look in the first place). Whoops. 🔎

#LetTheRecordShow that the legend of the Loch Ness Monster was born on this day in 1933, when a supposed sighting of the creature by a local couple hit the news. Public interest quickly grew, and at one point there was even a 20,000 pound sterling reward put up for capture of the beast. 🔎

Over the subsequent decades, several British Universities launched sonar expeditions to the lake, which revealed the presence of large, moving underwater objects. Beyond the sonar readings, no conclusive evidence of the existence of the Loch Ness Monster has ever been discovered.❔

#LetTheRecordShow that world-famous poet and playwright William Shakespeare was born on this day in 1564 and died on his fifty-second birthday in 1616. The cause of his death remains unknown, not necessarily in cause, but because death records weren’t typically kept during this time. Unless they were plague related, of course. Several causes of death have been speculated, including heavy drinking or a fever, but none have ever been confirmed. 🪶📜

The air of mystery around Shakespeare's death has only gotten stranger over the years. In 2010, researchers were given permission to use non-invasive radar to examine his presumably in-tact tomb. When a sweep was completed, it was found that the Bard’s skull was missing and the floor had been previously repaired in that area. Grave robbing rumors had been speculated since the 1800s, but due to lack of exhumation permission and technology, it took over two hundred years to prove those rumors to be true. 💀

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
