About this universe

Tendrille is the universe of childhood and its endless questions. Here you explore why kids ask so many questions and why they're all saying "6-7" right now. Children's crazes are nothing new: we were already playing pranks long before the internet.

The whys of this universe

  1. At puberty the body clock shifts by hours: a teenager's sleep signal arrives late, then asks for a long morning to catch up.

    Why do teenagers sleep so much?

    Because at puberty the internal clock shifts by several hours: the brain only releases its sleep signal late at night, then asks for a long morning to reach the eight to ten hours it truly needs. It isn't laziness, it's biology.

  2. Tendrille — Why are kids everywhere saying “6-7” right now?

    Why are kids everywhere saying “6-7” right now?

    A song by rapper Skrilla went viral on TikTok, turning the phrase into a trend. It doesn't mean anything specific, and that's exactly why it spreads.

  3. A child's brain builds the world one brick at a time: every 'why' is a brick looking for its place.

    Why do kids ask so many questions?

    Because their brains are building the world in real time, and every "why" is a brick looking for where it fits.
