A heartbroken durian farmer watched helplessly as a spring storm ravaged her orchard in Sikhio District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, destroying approximately 4 tons of durians. Arreeya Singphong, owner of the durian farm in Ban Bor Ling, posted photos and videos on Facebook showing durians scattered across the ground after a 15-minute burst of powerful winds on the evening of May 2. The fallen fruit, which had been neatly piled into a mountain-like heap, was just 80 days away from being ready for commercial harvest. Unable to process the fallen durians into products like fried durian chips, Arreeya is now offering them to local residents for cooking, with any unclaimed fruit destined for disposal. The financial loss is incalculable, as the durians were on the verge of becoming profitable harvest.

Applied Your Deodorant But Still Smell? Pharmacists Point Out You Might Be Using It Wrong, with guidance on the correct timing to effectively reduce perspiration and body odor.

Based on foreign media reports, during hot season many people apply antiperspirant before leaving home, believing it will reduce sweating and body odor. However, one internet user recently shared her experience of discovering after years of use that antiperspirant should be applied immediately after showering. She expressed her frustration: "Seems like I've been doing it wrong all along!"

The user posted on the Threads platform, stating that antiperspirant should be applied after bathing, not before leaving home as she had been doing. She emphasized: "If you wait to apply it when leaving home, it's basically useless."

After the post went viral, many netizens shared their opinions, including comments like "I've been using it for years and just found out," "You have to wait until it dries before putting clothes on," and "If you apply it before leaving home, it becomes a mix of pleasant and unpleasant smells."

Pharmacist Xiao Lu explained that aluminum salts in antiperspirant products require 6-8 hours to react and create a film layer that adheres to skin and blocks sweat glands, effectively reducing perspiration. He emphasized: "You shouldn't apply it before leaving home because it barely works."

How to Apply Antiperspirant Correctly to Eliminate Body Odor Throughout the Day

1. Apply the night before bedtime Pharmacists recommend applying antiperspirant in the evening before bed, and the skin must be completely dry. If the skin is still damp, it may cause irritation or rashes.

2. No need to reapply during the day There's no need to reapply during the day. You can shower normally in the morning as usual and should avoid using antiperspirant right after shaving to prevent skin inflammation.

Pharmacists also noted that most antiperspirants on the market have low concentration and last approximately 24-48 hours. With continuous use over time, sweat production noticeably decreases, and you can adjust to using it every 2 days. Some pharmacy-grade products use long-acting formulas that may remain effective for 4-7 days.

However, beginners are advised to use it daily first, then reduce frequency once they notice decreased perspiration. Currently, some products are available for once-weekly use as well.

Wife Stunned by Husband's Hilariously Unconventional Birthday Surprise Gift

Birthday surprises typically feature cakes and romantic gifts, but one Indonesian woman found herself both shocked and laughing when her husband came up with an utterly unconventional idea that was far from romantic.

A viral video on Threads revealed an 'offerings tray' arranged to resemble a traditional ritual ceremony. The husband carefully arranged various fruits—grapes, bananas, and young coconuts—decorated with scattered flowers.

The highlight of this unique arrangement was the inclusion of 100,000 rupiah banknotes, gold coins, and a photo of his wife with dramatic text mixed in.

The unconventional surprise post received over 20,200 likes, with countless comments from netizens joking about the setup.

Diana Putri, a 28-year-old from East Java, explained that the incident occurred on April 21, 2026, at her home. While the ceremony looked peculiar, she didn't question her husband much about where he got the idea, suspecting it came from a social media trend.

"When my husband came home from work carrying the tray, I was curious about what it was for. After I showered with our child and came out, I was greeted with this incense-offering style surprise. He probably saw it on TikTok. It had coconut, coffee, grapes, chocolate coins, bananas, flowers, and money," Diana recounted.

For her, this surprise was quite impressive because it differed from her usual birthdays, which typically felt simple and formal. She admitted she never expected her husband to have this playful side.

"I was both shocked and amused! It was sweet that he could come up with something like this. Usually, every birthday he just transfers money to me," Diana said with a laugh.
