One Direction

Well they're only the biggest boyband in the world! They were formed on the X-Factor in 2010 by Simon Cowell. They all originally auditioned as solo artists, then were all so close to going home, until Simon called them all back in. They announced an 18 month break I'm 2016, that break then turned into a 5 year break. The band consisted of 5 members: Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Zayn Malik. Zayn left the band in 2015. The boys were very successful with 5 albums. Up All Night with the hit-single What Makes You Beautiful, Take Me Home with the hit single Live While We're Young, Midnight Memories with the hit single Best Song Ever, FOUR with the hit single Steal My Girl and Made In The A.M with the hit single Drag Me Down. While the boys are all now making solo music, we all think they will come back on July 23rd 2020 on their 10th anniversary.

Experiment of one

I’ve become particularly impressed with AI and especially one called Poe (and its bot assistants). This is an edited definition* of one this AI-powered chatbot churned out in a matter of seconds:

An "experiment of one" refers to a type of experimental design where an individual serves as both the subject and the experimenter. In this type of experiment, the individual tests a hypothesis or investigates a research question by manipulating variables and observing the outcomes on themselves. It is a self-experimentation approach that allows individuals to gather data and draw conclusions based on their own experiences.

Examples of Experiment of One:
1. Personal Health and Lifestyle: An individual may conduct an experiment of one to test the effects of different diets, exercise routines, or sleep patterns on their own health and well-being.
2. Cognitive Performance: Someone might investigate the impact of various study techniques, memory strategies, or environmental factors on their own cognitive performance through an experiment of one.
3. Productivity and Time Management: An individual may experiment with different productivity techniques, work schedules, or task prioritization methods to optimize their own productivity and time management skills.
*************
I can't do better than that, but I will add that this is sometimes abbreviated as "n=1" or "n of 1."

*Only edited for length — the original was too long for Urban Dictionary’s space parameters.

An oft-used phrase is "Each of us is an **experiment of one**."
