The German Tiger I earned a terrifying reputation in the Second World War for its thick armour and devastating 88 mm gun. However, military archives reveal that Allied anti-tank guns rarely destroyed these 54-tonne machines in combat. Instead, relentless mechanical breakdowns, severe fuel shortages, and extreme towing difficulties forced German crews to abandon and scuttle their own tanks.

What actually killed most German Tiger tanks in World War II?

Introduced in 1942 and fighting until May 1945, the legendary German Tiger I tank had an operational combat lifespan of less than three years before the war ended.

In 2023, Hardik and Natasa got married again but this time in a grand ceremony.

In May, rumours of their split made headlines. This was after Natasa removed Hardik’s surname from her Instagram account, and later deleted all their photos, including wedding pictures.



On July 18, Hardik and Natasa officially announced their separation. The couple said they will co-parent their son, Agastya.

What is Benching? Latest Gen-Z Dating Trend

Another dating trend has taken over Generation-Z. It's benching but does it really involve benches? You would know.

Situationship is when neither person commits and they are permitted to date outside. So when a situationship gets real, the date outside may act as a person on the bench, an option waiting to be dated seriously.

Benching is when someone keeps a potential partner as a backup option without committing to them.


Benching is not quite the same as ghosting, because while benching means stringing someone along, ghosting means abruptly ending all communication and contact without any explanation.

What is Breadcrumbing? Gen-Z's Latest Dating Trend

Another dating trend has taken over Generation-Z. It's Breadcrumbing but doesn't really involve breads.

Breadcrumbing is when you give an individual just enough attention to keep them hooked into the relationship without committing.

Not really! This is because situationship (in which neither counterpart commits and they may also see other people simultaneously) is mutual. Breadcrumbing is not.

It consists of long periods of disengagement followed by a flirty text or call, maybe even a date. But nothing ever progresses.

Protests Erupt as Japan Releases Treated Water into Ocean

Japan's move to release the treated radioactive water from Fukushima nuclear power plant has prompted heavy protests in China, North Korea, South Korea and Hong Kong.

China on Thursday reacted to Japan’s move of releasing the treated water by announcing a blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.


Japanese fishing groups also fear reputational damage as the industry remains unconvinced on Tokyo’s claims of water safety. "All we want is to be able to continue fishing," members from fishing industry said.

South Korean authorities arrested at least 16 demonstrators who breached the Japanese embassy in Seoul. However, South Korea's government stated that its evaluation revealed no issues with the scientific and technical components of the discharge.

North Korea's foreign ministry demanded the immediate cessation of water discharge, labeling it a "crime against humanity", as reported by state media.


The Taiwan Atomic Energy Council (AEC) declared its intent to closely monitor the waters surrounding Taiwan during Japan's disposal of treated radioactive water from the disabled Fukushima nuclear plant.

Over 1000 Wildfires Wreaking Havoc In Canada 

Wildfires are a recurring phenomenon in the western provinces of Canada; however, this year an unprecedented spree has been witnessed.

The situation across Canada is dire, with a total of 1,054 active wildfires, including 230 in the Northwest Territories alone. 


Due to massive wildfires, even the sky in the North American country has turned red. 



The resulting smoke has enveloped Canada and even parts of the United States, leading to health concerns and advisories being issued, urging people to minimise outdoor exposure and consider wearing masks. 



In a concerted response, more than 20,000 residents of Yellowknife are being evacuated as firefighters tirelessly battle to prevent the encroaching wildfires from reaching the city. 


Recent attention has shifted back to the western regions, where wildfires are currently blazing just about 16 km (10 miles) northwest of Yellowknife, the capital of the sparsely populated Northwest Territories.


7 Jagannath Temple Mysteries That Will Blow Your Mind


The flag on top of the Jagannath Temple always floats in the opposite direction of the wind. It is one of the most unbelievable and mysterious phenomena.



The temple, which was built in the 12th Century AD, has no shadow. While some people believe that it's a supernatural phenomenon, others say that the temple is engineered in such a way that it doesn't cast any shadow.

The architectural technique or a divine power? The giant Nila Chakra, which is made up of 8 alloys, is placed at the pinnacle of the temple in such a way that no matter from where you look at it, the chakra will always face you.



In coastal areas, the breeze blows from the sea towards the land during the daytime, and at night, the wind blows from the land towards the sea. But near the Jagannath Temple in Puri, it's the opposite.


Another strange thing about the temple is that you will never see a bird or any other flying object over the temple.



Another mysterious fact about Jagannath Temple is that it is soundproof. You will hear the sound of the ocean everywhere in the temple, but as you step inside the temple through the Singha gate, the sound of the waves vanishes.



The way the prasadam is cooked is another intriguing thing about the temple. The food is cooked in seven earthen pots over firewood kept on top of each other. What's interesting here is that instead of the bottom one, the food in the topmost pot gets cooked first.
