Say Hello to the 2025 Ig Nobel Prize Winners

The Ig Nobel Prizes, a parody of the Nobel Prizes, honor achievements that make people laugh and then think. The 2025 Ig Nobel Prize Winners have just been announced, and they are nothing short of bizarre and hilarious.

One of this year’s winners is a team of scientists who discovered that swearing can actually help reduce pain. Their study showed that letting out a few choice curse words can increase pain tolerance by up to 50%!

Another winner is a group of researchers who designed a bra that can be quickly converted into a pair of gas masks. This invention was inspired by the need for practical solutions in emergency situations.

Other winners include a study on the effectiveness of using voodoo dolls in the workplace for stress relief, and a team of mathematicians who created a formula to determine how likely a cat is to knock over a cup of milk.

Each year, the Ig Nobel Prizes celebrate the weird, wacky, and wonderful side of science. Congratulations to all the 2025 Ig Nobel Prize winners!
