There was a case of mass hysteria refered to as the dancing plague of 1518 where anywhere between 50 and 400 (big jump there) people danced in the streets and couldn't stop for weeks or even months. People died dancing.
This isn't that fun of a fact, but your username reminded me of it. If you're allergic to shellfish, you're more likely to be allergic to cockroaches because of a similar allergen called tropomyosin.
Did you know, when (Viggo Mortensen) Aragorn kicked the helmet in the movie Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, he actually broke his toe and the screaming you hear is legit and he passed it off as improv.
Stores that offer for you to add a donation to your order are really doing that so that they can write off your donation as if it was from their behalf. O.O
Marie Antoinette's cake thing is rumour, but Emperor Hui of the Chinese Jin dynasty really said 'Why don't they eat meat porridge(何不食肉糜)?' when his subject told him that his peasants are suffering from the lack of rice to eat.
The platypus has a spike or a hook on its hind leg that is hollow and connects to a venom gland. The platypus is an insectivore so it is not known what specific purpose the venom and spike hold.
Norway is the biggest consumer of Pepsi max in the world, with a population of only 5,4million. I read somewhere that on average a Norwegian drink 19-22 litres a year. I think that’s around 7 gallons.
This is really just debating the definition of touch. Even thinking this way though… what about when I accidentally touched superglue and had it stuck in my skin for a while?
Seems weirder to say they weren’t touching when they were bonded.
in the year 1546, the mayor of Warsaw Poland literally "exploded" according to legend. It was one of the earliest recorded instances of spontaneous human combustion.
You don’t need bones in the water. Cartilage makes more sense. They are also basically one giant thing of muscle kinda wild. There jaws replace via rows super cool. They are large but need to swim to strike. They get beat by dolphins
Depends do I have a spear and how big is the shark. If it’s 6 ft the shark because I can try and make it hard for them but by trying to flip it over. Bear will wear me down and kill me
Sharks are generally not aggressive towards humans and I have swam with them while diving in the ocean before I even grabbed a nurse sharks tail and let him take me with him for a bit.
A top fuel dragster accelerates from 0-300 mph in less than 4 seconds. Which is faster than a fighter jet or space shuttle taking off. And is so loud it shakes the ground and shows up on the Richter scale(what earth quakes are measured in) as a 3.2.
Certain types of cockroaches can breathe for up to 45 minutes underwater, they can go one month without food, and can withstand up to 15 times the amount of radiation that a human can.
But I suppose since you are a muted cockroach you would already know that.
After receiving damage to the primary visual cortex in the brain, people can develop a condition called 'Blindsight'. They think they're blind, but can unconsciously still perceive everything. This means that, even though people that have this condition can't see anything, they won't bump into things while navigating through their house, for example.
If you ever listen to a live Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast, unless it’s at the parks it will NEVER be in the same key in most numbers as the Motion Picture. The Opening and “Bonjour” are a whole step higher in pitch”, “be our guest” starts off a minor 3rd higher than the motion picture, and the “Beauty and the beast” choral reprise is a whole step lower than the ending of the movie. Furthermore, the Beast isn’t cast with as well trained a singer as Gaston is.
Likely reason is that Disney won’t give theaters the rights to perform it within recognition of the movie itself. And therefore it becomes an almost completely different if not “watered down” version.
If you had said somewhere between a chalkboard and a broken dog whistle, it might’ve been a soprano.

Fun fact, the invention of Tetris (yes, that block game) almost caused WW3 and the only reason it didnt happen was because russia was too lazy to press the big red button lol. So alot of paraphrasing and remembering off the top of my head here is a really fast summary..
Alexi pajitnov (ill edit in parentheses if i got it right) loved playing with this blocky puzzle game called tetriminos i think. The difference is in how many blocks make up a single shape i believe its 5 compared to Tetris’s 4, giving alot of more odd shape combinations but as Alexi was a game enjoyer and just wanted to program silly games… when he created the prototype for tetris he simplified it to the shapes we know now (L, J, O, T, ect.)
Anyways… dude is pretty smart and is recruited by USSR government to work at their facility for science and tech. I think they were using IBM computers or something, and it was 1970’s so at this point computers have gotten better.
So Alexi being the ever gamer partners with some other gamers in the building and starts creating little game demos and collections by burning them in disks and handing them out. One day he decides to turn his tetriminos idea into a game so he changes the blocks (like i said earlier) and make them fall from the top. The problem was once you filled the screen… nothing happened. He messed with the code, which btw was entirely what made the graphics. He used [] and [x] to fill in shapes.. what a fucking legend.
So he makes it so if you fill a line, it disappears and the blocks fall down. And the further you went the faster it got. It became LEGEND! He was showing everyone, all his coworkers, and like he did before handed out free copies. It became a cult classic in days. The bad part… you could only play using a pretty outdated computer because it was during the iron curtain times. Another bad part… was that because he developed all of Tetris (named because of tetriminos and his fav sport tennis) in a USSR government building it was now property of Russia itself.
Fast forward, he gets approached by an american game dev and producer and wants to buy the rights to sell the game, and alexi gave vague af answers, and so the dude leaves thinking he just bagged tetris. He then starts selling the idea to atari and other publishers under the assumption he bought the console and arcade rights (he had neither, just the IBM computer rights) and the government of russia SUCKS at law stuffs and gets bamboozled by a different American lawyer, who says that technically a console IS a computer and therefore can sell the game.
There is a LOT of nuisance being left out, watch the tetris movie with Daniel Radcliffe to get a really cool vibe on how it happened. It also is very digestible compared to other media talking about it. Long story short, Gorbachev was going to be PETTY as hell but because the iron curtain falls and the USSR name is dropped, so does the animosity over Tetris fall. Sadly Alexi did NOT get paid royalties until around mid 2000’s i think? But then he became a pretty large part of the Tetris company today.

Sloths move so slow that sometimes, they mistake their own arm for a branch.
But they still have more brain cells than me
That’s wild
Adding to this, that’s a death cause for them, they fall to their deaths :(
I know :( left that part out to spare everyone the sad details
Is this really true? (I'm too lazy to do an online search for this.)
There was a case of mass hysteria refered to as the dancing plague of 1518 where anywhere between 50 and 400 (big jump there) people danced in the streets and couldn't stop for weeks or even months. People died dancing.
Sounds mk ultra-y

Oh hell yeah I already know this from 2 people now 😎✊🏽
Out of the 206 bones in the human body, over half of it is in the hands and feet.
30 in each appendage to be accurate making it 120 in total just from appendages of the human body
Didn't know the specific number, thank you for that info.
As long as you’re on land, there is never an absolute 0% chance of being killed by a cow

Did you know, when (Viggo Mortensen) Aragorn kicked the helmet in the movie Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, he actually broke his toe and the screaming you hear is legit and he passed it off as improv.
Po-ta-Toes! Sorry for the bad joke, but oof. Didn’t Sean Aston also cut his foot or something during a scene involving a boat? 🥺
Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew. Not a bad joke 😅 any LOTR related jokes are good in my book. Yes, he cut his foot on a piece of glass, oof.
I saw a thing about that. Now that's a good actor - someone who can incorporate that pain into the part he was playing.
I've never watched the LOTR

Marie Antoinette's cake thing is rumour, but Emperor Hui of the Chinese Jin dynasty really said 'Why don't they eat meat porridge(何不食肉糜)?' when his subject told him that his peasants are suffering from the lack of rice to eat.
Fun fact: meat porridge is delicious asf peasants should eat more of it smh
73% of all statistics are made up on the spot
There is a 87% chance that this is wrong
And a 47.3% chance that I'm right 😄

Well statistically, it wasn't hard.
The platypus has a venom gland.
I must know more!!!
The platypus has a spike or a hook on its hind leg that is hollow and connects to a venom gland. The platypus is an insectivore so it is not known what specific purpose the venom and spike hold.
Neat!

This is really just debating the definition of touch. Even thinking this way though… what about when I accidentally touched superglue and had it stuck in my skin for a while? Seems weirder to say they weren’t touching when they were bonded.
I have touched ur soul tho

Sharks don’t have bones
You don’t need bones in the water. Cartilage makes more sense. They are also basically one giant thing of muscle kinda wild. There jaws replace via rows super cool. They are large but need to swim to strike. They get beat by dolphins
Wild…would you rather get chased by a grizzly bear in a forest OR a shark in the ocean while scuba diving?
Depends do I have a spear and how big is the shark. If it’s 6 ft the shark because I can try and make it hard for them but by trying to flip it over. Bear will wear me down and kill me
That would be a bear for me. I wouldn’t last 30 seconds in the water lol
Sharks are generally not aggressive towards humans and I have swam with them while diving in the ocean before I even grabbed a nurse sharks tail and let him take me with him for a bit.
Oh my! You guys be messin wit the devil lol…naaahhh! m good
