Something unexpected has arrived in Happy Meal. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Hello Kitty and friends are teaming up for the ultimate collab.

Joining your little ones on a fun-fueled adventure. Some fun, some food, it's all inside this happy meal.

Until the 2nd of February from 11am includes one pre-selected book or toy whilst it's last.

This is Build for Tomorrow, a podcast about the unexpected things that shape us and how we can shape the future.

I'm Jason Pfeiffer, and in each episode, I take something that seems concerning or confusing today

and figure out where it came from, what important things we're missing, and how to move forward.

Do you like being bored? I mean,

I can guess the answer. Your answer is no. Nobody likes being bored. So, okay, here is a more

interesting question. How far would you go to avoid being bored? Would you say,

willingly hurt yourself simply because it is better than sitting alone with nothing else to do?

This is what some researchers at the University of Virginia and Harvard University tested a few years ago.

They rounded up a bunch of people and asked them to sit alone in a room for six to 15 minutes.

To nobody surprise, the people almost universally said that they did

not enjoy this experience. And then plot twist. In some cases, study participants were put in a

room and given a choice. They could either be alone with their thoughts, or they could push a

button that would give them an electric shock. And just so that these

people knew what they were getting themselves into, they were all given an initial shock,

and it hurt. Most said that they would literally pay money to avoid being shocked again. But then

they were put in that room with nothing else to do except sit and think, or if they wanted, they could

push the button and shock themselves.

And wouldn't you know it, 67% of men pushed the button, and so did 25% of women?

And so what can we learn from this?
