What's buzzing, friends?
What does Pangea and the growth of your fingernails have in common?
Fingernails seem to grow so fast, but in reality, they only grow about 3mm per month. The nails grow from the matrix, which is the base of the nail under the cuticle. The matrix is made up of living cells that produce keratin, which is the complex protein that makes up the nail. The cells in the matrix divide and grow to make the nail longer.
Pangea, the supercontinent, began breaking up about 175 million years ago, and the process is still happening today. The continents are moving away from each other at a rate of a few centimeters per year. The Atlantic Ocean is getting wider every year. The reason for this is the convection currents deep inside the earth. The molten rock in the mantle rises up and pushes the crust aside.
If you can't see the correlation above, be prepared to have your mind blown!
The continents that make up our world are moving at the same speed as your fingernails are growing. BOOM, WHAT?!
Yes, that is right. Pangea broke up long ago and had been moving at a fingernail growth rate per year. So next time you cut your nails, look down at that cut nail bit and then realize the continental plates have also moved about that same amount in that same amount of time.

Before you run off to impress your friends with this new knowledge of our world, scroll down and get up to speed with this week's post from DBuzz. We think it will move faster than continental drift or your fingernail growth.
Here's a link to the previous recap post from last Sunday.
You guys and girls of DBuzz are an intelligent and clever bunch. This week, we want to ask this collective mind questions about how to onboard more users. Help us brainstorm some ideas and perhaps take home 10 HIVE for your efforts.
This week, we released a bunch of updates, one of which was us taking a step back on the Metamask integration. But don't worry, we will bring it back soon! Read the post and get up to speed with the development.
Pawesomeness-picks… It's like having a master chef in your kitchen, preparing for you the best dishes from around the world whenever you want!
Gray is an interesting color, because it can be seen as dull and sophisticated. It is a versatile color that can be used in various settings. When used in a room, it can create a feeling of calmness and serenity. It can also be used in more lively settings, such as a child's playroom, to create a fun and inviting space.
Take a great gray photo for a shot at taking home 10 HIVE!
Life is all about the moments we have. Every one of us has a different story, and each moment is a new opportunity to create a new memory. This week on DBuzz, we saw so many great moments - you must also check them out!
