You've heard the business advice: "Don't boil the ocean." It's a warning against attempting the impossible. But what if the "impossible" has already happened—and is destined to happen again?

In today's nugget, we dive into the shocking geological evidence proving that Earth's oceans have literally boiled in the past. Discover how colossal asteroid impacts, far larger than the one that wiped out the dinosaurs, superheated our planet and turned the seas into a global steam bath for more than a year. We'll explore the clues left behind in ancient rocks and uncover what our world was like during this violent era.

Then, we'll look to the distant future to see how the slow, inevitable evolution of our Sun will trigger not one, but two more ocean-boiling events, ultimately transforming Earth into a dry, scorched world. From a common idiom to a planetary reality, this is a story of cosmic scale you won't want to miss.

As former President Donald Trump convenes a high-stakes peace summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and key European leaders, the ghost of 1938 looms large. The world is asking: Are we witnessing a repeat of the infamous Munich Agreement that sacrificed Czechoslovakia to appease Hitler?

This episode of Daily Nuggetz dives deep into the chilling parallels between the 1938 Sudetenland crisis and the current war in Ukraine. We explore how the rhetoric of "protecting minorities" is used as a pretext for aggression and how a sovereign nation is once again being pressured to trade land for the promise of peace.

But is the "Munich analogy" a perfect fit? We break down the crucial differences: in 1938, the world was trying to prevent a war, whereas today, we're trying to end one. Unlike an isolated Czechoslovakia, Ukraine is a battle-hardened nation with a powerful international coalition at its back.

Join us as we analyze the red lines drawn by Kyiv and its European allies, the transactional diplomacy of the Trump administration, and the maximalist demands from Putin's Kremlin. Will concessions buy "peace for our time," or will they simply embolden an aggressor and pave the way for a wider conflict? We unpack the history to understand the future of Ukraine and the global order.

Manchester United remains one of the most valuable sports brands on the planet, a commercial juggernaut with a billion-strong global following. Yet, for over a decade since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure, their on-pitch performance has been a story of inconsistency and decline.

This episode of Daily Nuggetz untangles this modern football paradox. We explore how the iconic brand was forged in the glory years of Busby and Ferguson, and why that legacy allows the club's commercial engine to defy gravity. We'll break down the numbers behind the post-2013 trophy drought, the controversial Glazer ownership model that has extracted over a billion pounds from the club , and a chaotic recruitment strategy that has burned through cash with little to show for it.
