Article summary. Headlline: "Why Chocolate Tastes So Good". Description: Researchers investigating how to fine-tune the process of fermenting cocoa beans have discovered that pH, temperature and microbial species all influence how the resulting chocolate tastes. Unlike wine, beer and cheese, cacao fermentation is a natural process that usually takes place without adding specific microbes — so less is known about exactly how it happens. A panel of trained food tasters helped determine that unique microbial communities influenced the flavour.

People who willingly share misinformation "were more likely to also report support for political violence, a desire to run for office, and warm feelings toward extremists. These respondents were also more likely to have elevated levels of a psychological need for chaos, dark tetrad traits, and paranoia."

I'm begging journalists to stop using "decimation." Reducing by 10% is actually not that bad! Of course the dictionary bent to overwhelming misuse and added a definition that refers to elimination of a large portion, but it still doesn't sound right. Just say annihilation if that's what you mean
