Other / unclassifiable — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 10 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 87% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 17 November 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 55 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 2 May 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
😱 Ark Invest just dropped some wild numbers In 2025, AI-generated words officially outnumbered words written by humans — for the first time in history. At this pace, AI will surpass the entire 500-year archive of human-written text before 2030. And it's already reshaping Telegram. Channels are quietly replacing human editors with automated tools — and one of the most interesting examples is @morty, built by the @ma…
WHY does sweets make you thirsty? It draws water out of the cells. Sucrose, glucose and fructose do not require digestion and are quickly absorbed. When they enter the blood and tissue fluid, these substances increase the osmotic pressure in the blood and tissue, causing water to be drawn out of the cells. The hypothalamus immediately triggers a feeling of thirst when it signals the ingestion of sugar. The water d…
WHY does a thermonuclear bomb explode immediately, but stars take a long time to burn? Stars hold back the explosion by gravity For the nuclei of the light elements to enter into a thermonuclear reaction, they need to overcome mutual repulsion (since all the nuclei carry a charge of the same sign). That is possible at temperatures of tens of millions of degrees, when the atoms are moving fast enough. Hot matter cr…
WHY do clouds not fall to the ground? Clouds simply aren't rigid objects. They are merely regions of the atmosphere where the air temperature is below the dew point at which moisture condenses. Conditions near the Earth are typically warmer and condensation doesn't occur. With altitude, the temperature drops, and the dew point is where the lower boundary of the cloud is located. But occasionally, especially in the …
WHY is there no cure for color blindness? Unfortunately, no cure for color blindness exists. There are special glasses and corrective lenses on the market that, according to advertisements, help with color recognition, but they come with undesirable side effects. Lenses improve color recognition in one part of the spectrum, but in the other part, they worsen it. Many patients also experience unnaturally bright colo…
WHY does alcohol harm sleep? Alcohol retards brain activity and exerts a sedative effect that may cause feelings of relaxation and sleepiness. Yet alcohol consumption is actually associated with poor quality and shortened sleep duration. Although drinking alcohol can lead to falling asleep more quickly, it can affect different stages of sleep, reducing its overall quality. If you want to get a good night's sleep, …
WHY do the instructions for medicines demand that pills be swallowed with water? Other drinks may contain substances that react with the contents of the pill or affect its physiological effects. Even carbonated water without syrup changes the effect of some medicines by speeding up their absorption.
WHY do cats refuse to eat from a half-empty bowl? If your cat is eating straight from the middle of the bowl and rejects to touch the food around the edges, it's probably due to its whiskers touching the edges of the bowl and causing pain, irritation, or, as mentioned earlier, discomfort. That's called whisker fatigue. At times, hungry pets may tip the bowl and eat food off the floor to avoid the discomfort. Anoth…
WHY does the homing pigeon always find its way home? Judging from numerous experiments, pigeons use various principles of orientation, testing one by another. Close to home, they rely mostly on landmarks - say, they may fly along familiar freeways, repeating their curves. When returning home from an unfamiliar place, pigeons, according to most researchers, orient themselves by the celestial lights (the sun and the …
WHY aren't smartphones with removable batteries made anymore? A removable battery takes up more physical space in an already tightly packed modern smartphone. The majority of this saved space is used to add additional features to smartphones, such as fingerprint scanners, extra cameras, and facial recognition. Likewise, a removable battery requires an extra layer of protection. This leads to a thicker device. In a…
WHY doesn't a person start boiling in a sauna? In a sauna, the temperature reaches 130 degrees. A person is not boiling in a sauna as he sweats profusely. Evaporating in the dry atmosphere of the sauna, the sweat cools the body, allowing it to maintain a normal temperature. However, this mechanism cannot work for a long time, so a person is only able to stay in the sauna steam room for a short time.
WHY don't people still inject themselves with endorphins (happiness hormones) intravenously? Actually, they do. It's called "heroin addiction". The chemical structure of opiates is totally unlike our own endorphins (otherwise they wouldn't be able to get from the blood vessels to the brain), but they act exactly the same way on the receptors. And there is nothing good about this idea, since the brain is instantly …
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @why_eng. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 44 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total, of which the 24 where it ranks highest are shown above. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 25 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
