We continue our investigation into Dating Apps, their practices and effects on humanity. At a remote research facility in Antarctica, a lonely scientist logs onto Tindr for fun and matches with a scientist on a neighboring base nearly 50 miles away. It’s the first recorded app date in the history of the continent. Choice overload has become an issue on apps. But what if an app gave us just one match? Would our dopamine starved brains still respond with contentment? Today’s story offers a miraculous case study to answer those questions. Although written about in several news outlets, no one has heard the outcome of this date -- and it’s tragic end -- until now.
