"Fishy" website??

During the class we were assigned a “suspicious” site that you were asked to analyze. I and my friend analyzed about the website called "Smell of Books".
Link to actual "sus" website→ https://smellofbooks.com/

This website is basically selling the "smells of books". They put those smells in spray can and sell it for about $30 (the cost depends on smell). There are several types of smell like:New Book Smell, Classic Musty Smell, Scent of Sensibility, Eau You Have Cats, and Crunchy Bacon Scent.

Smell of books aims to sell this for people who were left by the feeling like there’s something missing from reading e-books. But I thought the true aim of this website was to let customers buy paper book not buying the smell.

Actually this site is very shady and sells the smells about $30! I thought it is better to buy books not the spray can of book smell.

In the website there was a link to get those spray in Amazon, however the link doesn't exists. That means this product selling is totally a fake! and also not reliable.

Also, aside from the "fantasy-ness" of the website we could immediately indicated that the website is not true by looking the designs of the website. They were old and off the trend.

However, the idea of selling the smells of book was interesting to attract people:)

What is gun control?

 According to the site called Dictionary.com, the word gun control means "government regulation of the sale and ownership of firearms".The term "gun control" refers to any legal action taken to forbid or restrict the ownership or use of weapons, particularly firearms (Kavi,2023). (In a larger historical sense, the phrase also refers to restrictions on the ownership or use of other weapons, including some that date back before the discovery of gunpowder.) The majority of industrialised nations have tough and uncontested firearms laws. In other places, it is a contentious political issue that pits those who see it as vital for maintaining public safety against those who see it as a risky restriction on personal freedom.Nowhere in the world is gun control more contentious than in the United States, where the right to bear arms is constitutionally protected but where gun-related homicides, including mass shootings, are incredibly common. Of developed nations, the United...

When does the guns first used?

 They have been around for more than a thousand years and have influenced conflict(Tactics | Definition, Examples, History, & Facts, 1998).Around the year 850 C.E., Chinese alchemists were trying to create a "fountain of youth" potion when they unintentionally created gunpowder. Charcoal, saltpeter, and sulfur were combined to create the final powder, known as huo yao. They discovered the powder could be used for warfare very fast. Gunpowder was initially utilized by the Song Dynasty, which was in power at the time, to defeat the Mongols, whose recurrent incursions into China troubled the Chinese throughout the period.Fire lances, also known as "flying fire," were used by the Chinese to assault the Mongols. These weapons were arrows fitted with gunpowder tubes that, when lit, would fly across the enemy's lines. Over the ensuing decades, as the Chinese perfected a wide range of weaponry against the Mongols, including the first cannons and grenades, more gunpo...
