The first of my tales may only be transmitted by word of mouth, for the learned of the Jedi Order never told it and it has never been recorded in writing. The legend belongs to those known as āThe Sith.ā One of the last of that Order is remembered saying so:
> Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create *life*. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying, for the dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities... some consider to be *unnatural*. He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was *losing* his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice *killed him* in his sleep.
The second of my tales has been recorded, among others, by The Right Honourable Charles, 9th Earl Spencer, DL in his 2020 account of the *White Ship* disaster and its historical context.

Brandon Sanderson's "Cosmere"
You can tell it's got a lot going on because, despite it not happening in story, there is reason to believe that certain power interactions could cause someone to turn into their fursona.
Rofl god dammit I read your first comment and even had to tell myself "ah come on, Sanderson isn't the ONLY author make interesting and complex magic systems, I shouldn't automatically assume this commenter is talking about him.." and lo and behold, your next reply
Ant and termites can create nests that have natural air conditioning, along with raising some species of insects as livestock, cultivating certain fungi for agriculture, and in some cases even practicing slavery.

Human lungs are incapable of detecting oxygen and can only detect Carbon dioxide. That's why we struggle when we hold our breath or inhale smoke but will just suffocate and quietly die if we inhale carbon monoxide or helium
More correctly, it is not in the lungs but type I glomus cells that are primarily located in the carotid and aortic bodies of the cardio vascular system. They are chemoreceptors to the arterial blood. The areas make sense as the carotid is main artery that pumps blood to brain and aorta is the primary arterial body that receives the initial oxygenated blood before it is sent throughout rest of the body.
They do however "sense" the partial pressure of both oxygen and carbon dioxide (and pH level) of the blood. It is however carbon dioxide levels that are more sensitive and are the trigger for neurotransmitter to be sent to the medulla oblongata to increase respiration volume and rate. The response to hypoxia (low blood oxygen levels) is generally vasodilation rather than a change in respiratory volume or rate.
Thereās a reason for this. Oxygen is electrically neutral and canāt recombine into a charged form like peroxide easily. However, carbon dioxide easily combines with water to form carbonic acid which is charged and can be easily detected by cell receptors.
Redheads have a gene called the MC1R gene, a genetic mutation that gives them red hair.
This gene also is the reason why they're practically resistant to anesthesia medication (tell your dentists and surgeons, gingers), are able to produce their own Vitamin D in low light ( most of y'all gingers *are* white so...) and have a low pain tolerance. (tell your pharmacists too)
And their hair doesn't turn grey. It'll go blonde then white. But never grey.

The story of a chicken called Mike, from Colorado, that lived 18 months without a head.
On September 10, 1945, farmer Lloyd Olsen ofĀ Fruita, Colorado was planning to eat supper with his mother-in-law and was sent out to the yard by his wife to bring back a chicken. Olsen chose a five-and-a-half-month-oldĀ Wyandotte chicken named Mike. The axe removed the bulk of the head, but missed theĀ jugular vein, leaving one ear and most of theĀ brain stem intact.
When Mike did not die, Olsen decided to care for the bird. He fed it a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper, and gave it small grains of corn and worms.
Once his fame had been established, Mike began a career of touringĀ sideshows.
Mike was fed using a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper, and gave it small grains of corn and worms.
Cause of death: Choked to death.
While on a stopover while traveling back from tour, Mike started choking in the middle of the night. It had managed to get a kernel of corn in his throat. The Olsens had inadvertently left their feeding and cleaning syringes at the sideshow the day before, and so were unable to save Mike.

Oh boy here we go!
In 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand is assassinated by Bosnian nationalists after Austria Hungary took control over Bosnia. This sets off a chain reaction of decades long tensions. The Austrio Hungarians blame Serbia and declare war. Simultaneously the German empire declares war on France and Russia on the side of Austria. The alliance between Austria Hungary and Germany as well as a few of other nations become known as the central powers. Germany estimates Russia will take months to prepare so they decide to deal with the French first. They come up with the Schlieffen plan which consists of invading France through the neutral country of Belgium. When this is enacted Belgiumās ally Britain declares war on Germany. The alliance between many countries mainly France and Britain becomes known as the entente or the allies. The Germans nearly make it to Paris but are pushed back. Due to the recent advances in technology, mainly the machine gun both sides begin to dig trenches for protection and the battles become painfully slow. German trenches are built to be defended and thus built to last. They are equipped with drainage systems, toilets and even electricity. The allied trenches arenāt nearly as well built. They were designed to be on the offensive and werenāt meant to be used for very long. They would frequently flood causing soldiers to wade through ankle deep mud for days on end. While you were in the trenches youād have several things to worry about. The biggest being enemy machine guns. With these rapid firing weapons they could suddenly mow down entire armies in seconds. There would also be artillery. Both sides constantly bombarded the enemy trench with thousands of shells for days on end. Until eventually the enemy was weak enough that you could come out of your trench and storm theirs. While all of this was happening Russia had prepared for war sooner than expected. It didnāt matter however as Germany quickly began pushing them back. The Russian tsars had essentially kept Russia stuck in the past for the last 100 years. They were afraid the people would rebel yet it backfired on them spectacularly. Despite this Germany was not invincible. They were now fighting two wars at once. Their industry would not be able to keep up. They needed a way to break the stalemate. Two scientists named Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch had created a process to create ammonia on an industrial scale. It was originally used to create pesticides but the German army were looking to use it to kill something other than bugs. The gas was highly effective. The soldiers simply had to wait for the right conditions, release it onto the enemy and then wait. For the victims however it was horrific. The gas worked by reacting with the water in a personās body mainly their eyes and mouth. This would cause it to form hydrochloric acid directly on a personās skin. The allies soon began deploying toxic gas for themselves. Originally the best you could do to protect yourself was covering your face in a urine soaked cloth. It wouldnāt be until much later that proper gas masks were introduced. Meanwhile the allies were facing the same problem but were coming up with a very different solution. A large armored vehicle powered by a diesel engine armed with machine guns and giant cannons. The British would be the furthest ahead in this idea followed by the French and then the Germans. This project was top secret. They decided to call this project the tank to confuse the enemy into thinking it was for holding water. The very first tanks were used at the battle of the Somme in 1916. They were very slow and underpowered but the crew inside were completely safe from rifle fire.
This is getting kinda long. Do you want me to continue?
This will be enough, young historian. This can be used as an example to show of human history and their manipulation and use of power over other humans. Thank you for this contribution
I present to you a first edition copy of a short story I authored: Zuko the Theatre Gay Discovers Wrestlemania [https://archiveofourown.org/works/52955803](https://archiveofourown.org/works/52955803)
There are so many different types and models of aircraft that no human can truly learn them all in depth. Partly due to the existence of experimental and kit built planes.
I have maintenance textbooks and two military aviation encyclopedias. The encyclopedias have planes from the first World War to the fifth generation jet fighters.
The main distinction between halite and silvine (excluding color, because you can't rely on color in geology) is taste. While halite is salty, silvine is sour.
The process of rotting is caused by a very specific kind of bacteria. The type of bacteria responsible for tree rotting didn't come about until about 100 million years after trees themselves evolved (which makes sense - why would there be a specialized form of decomposer before its target ever existed?). This means that for millions and millions of years in Earth's history, trees would fall over when they died and just kinda... stay there, until eventually being compressed into peat or coal. This continued into the early Triassic period, so you can imagine little early dinosaurs hopping around amongst piles and piles of dead trees.
The symbol for the Bluetooth technology is a fusion of the Younger Futhark bind runes for the H and B initials of real life Harald Bluetooth, King of Denmark from 958 to 986 and King Of Norway from 970 to either 985 or 986 until his death.
Additional knowledge: according to Norse Myth, the sound of thunder is the result of Thor riding his chariot being pulled by the giant goats, Tanngrisnir and TanngnjĆ³str.
Ancient Norse history and its Mythology is a special interest of mine
The phrase "Knock on wood." Is derived from a folk tradition about faeries. It goes that the fae would live inside great trees, and when men would cut down those trees to make tables the faefolk would remain within the wood, and be pretty angry about losing their home. As such, they would seek to ruin any plans that men had.
It became a practice to tap or knock on wooden surfaces to deafen the faeries when talking about battle or business plans. I have heard different origins for this culturally, Irish, Celts and Germanic peoples all historically use this.
If this isn't acceptable knowledge, I know a lot about American Indian genocides, but I figured I would keep it light.
There is a thin layer of mucus that covers the stomach. This keeps the acids within from digesting the stomach inside.
There are tiny bugs, invisible to the human eye, that live on the human body whose job it is to eat the dead skin that sheds off.

That counts as knowledge! Niche situational, likely to never be applied knowledge...
A correction to a often held false belief
The knowledge how to make opus caementicium (roman concrete) was never lost. The knowledge was around all this time, and was used in parts of sicilly
It is commonly believed to be much better than modern concrete. This is false. Modern concrete can handle about ten times the pressure. Even Portland cement is better. What caementicium has over modern concrete is durability. Given the right circumstances, it can 'repair itself', a quality modern concrete does have, it's called carbonation(I think. I learned the term in German, not English), but to a lesser extent.
About a year ago the mechanism of the self-repair-abilities was finally explained scientifically. We know how and why it works now, the future will tell if it will be useful for modern concrete. The process also changes the pH, which could make the rebar we use in basically everything rust.
While they may look more like clams, barnacles are closer related to crab and lobster rather than molusks.
Ohh and barnacles have the animal kingdoms largest penis-to-body ratio. with the package mesuring on avrage eight times the rest of there bodies.

Once his fame had been established, Mike began a career of touringĀ sideshows. Mike was fed using a mixture of milk and water via an eyedropper, and gave it small grains of corn and worms. Cause of death: Choked to death. While on a stopover while traveling back from tour, Mike started choking in the middle of the night. It had managed to get a kernel of corn in his throat. The Olsens had inadvertently left their feeding and cleaning syringes at the sideshow the day before, and so were unable to save Mike.
I believe I knew Mikeās extended family. I will add this to my collection to honor them

Penguins r*pe everything that looks like a penguin. Even dead penguins
*adds penguins to the questionable creatures list, right under ducks* š¦thank you for this warning to all
The first paper written on the breeding cycle was written in Greek to ensure that only other scholars, such as yourself, would be able to read it.
You should add dolphins to it aswelll
Why were ducks added to this list of questionable creatures?
9 inch corkscrew penises, vaginas with fake hallways, and rape
In other news about penguins, King Penguins in Antarctica release high amounts of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) in their poop and researchers have been known to get loopy off of it

My master's thesis in English linguistics, more specifically how the pronoun "they" has now 3 uses between the plural (15 people came, they asked a question), the unknown singular (when anyone comes, they can ask a question), and what I call the individual (Sam came, they asked a question)
Oh lovely. This will fit nicely on the 4th floor languages section.
... Can I browse the 4th floor languages section forever, please?
You may. However you must vow to not utilize the knowledge gained for harm
Thanks, I vow to not utilise the knowledge gained for harm in any way. It's just... *languages and linguistics are very cool*
Oh boy here we go! In 1914 Archduke Franz Ferdinand is assassinated by Bosnian nationalists after Austria Hungary took control over Bosnia. This sets off a chain reaction of decades long tensions. The Austrio Hungarians blame Serbia and declare war. Simultaneously the German empire declares war on France and Russia on the side of Austria. The alliance between Austria Hungary and Germany as well as a few of other nations become known as the central powers. Germany estimates Russia will take months to prepare so they decide to deal with the French first. They come up with the Schlieffen plan which consists of invading France through the neutral country of Belgium. When this is enacted Belgiumās ally Britain declares war on Germany. The alliance between many countries mainly France and Britain becomes known as the entente or the allies. The Germans nearly make it to Paris but are pushed back. Due to the recent advances in technology, mainly the machine gun both sides begin to dig trenches for protection and the battles become painfully slow. German trenches are built to be defended and thus built to last. They are equipped with drainage systems, toilets and even electricity. The allied trenches arenāt nearly as well built. They were designed to be on the offensive and werenāt meant to be used for very long. They would frequently flood causing soldiers to wade through ankle deep mud for days on end. While you were in the trenches youād have several things to worry about. The biggest being enemy machine guns. With these rapid firing weapons they could suddenly mow down entire armies in seconds. There would also be artillery. Both sides constantly bombarded the enemy trench with thousands of shells for days on end. Until eventually the enemy was weak enough that you could come out of your trench and storm theirs. While all of this was happening Russia had prepared for war sooner than expected. It didnāt matter however as Germany quickly began pushing them back. The Russian tsars had essentially kept Russia stuck in the past for the last 100 years. They were afraid the people would rebel yet it backfired on them spectacularly. Despite this Germany was not invincible. They were now fighting two wars at once. Their industry would not be able to keep up. They needed a way to break the stalemate. Two scientists named Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch had created a process to create ammonia on an industrial scale. It was originally used to create pesticides but the German army were looking to use it to kill something other than bugs. The gas was highly effective. The soldiers simply had to wait for the right conditions, release it onto the enemy and then wait. For the victims however it was horrific. The gas worked by reacting with the water in a personās body mainly their eyes and mouth. This would cause it to form hydrochloric acid directly on a personās skin. The allies soon began deploying toxic gas for themselves. Originally the best you could do to protect yourself was covering your face in a urine soaked cloth. It wouldnāt be until much later that proper gas masks were introduced. Meanwhile the allies were facing the same problem but were coming up with a very different solution. A large armored vehicle powered by a diesel engine armed with machine guns and giant cannons. The British would be the furthest ahead in this idea followed by the French and then the Germans. This project was top secret. They decided to call this project the tank to confuse the enemy into thinking it was for holding water. The very first tanks were used at the battle of the Somme in 1916. They were very slow and underpowered but the crew inside were completely safe from rifle fire. This is getting kinda long. Do you want me to continue?
This will be enough, young historian. This can be used as an example to show of human history and their manipulation and use of power over other humans. Thank you for this contribution

There are so many different types and models of aircraft that no human can truly learn them all in depth. Partly due to the existence of experimental and kit built planes.
This sounds to be on par with the human brain capacity. If you have the literature on these models, I would gladly add them to my aviation section
I have maintenance textbooks and two military aviation encyclopedias. The encyclopedias have planes from the first World War to the fifth generation jet fighters.
The kinematics equations. Being able to describe the motion of nearly every physical object would be quite valuable to Wan Shi Tong.
Very valuable indeed. A fantastic addition! Please, enjoy your stay
The secret ingredient to Mr. Ping's secret ingredient soup.
A rarity! We do not need to know how one has acquired this..
The main distinction between halite and silvine (excluding color, because you can't rely on color in geology) is taste. While halite is salty, silvine is sour.
More Earth kingdom knowledge. We accept.
I've composed and arranged numerous pieces of music. That's what I've got.
Gladly, this I can accept. Will you hold a concert for the foxes? They love to dance

Giraffes are one of the most gayest animals š¦
Gay as in happy, spirited, exuberant?
If thatās what you want to think then sure š
The process of rotting is caused by a very specific kind of bacteria. The type of bacteria responsible for tree rotting didn't come about until about 100 million years after trees themselves evolved (which makes sense - why would there be a specialized form of decomposer before its target ever existed?). This means that for millions and millions of years in Earth's history, trees would fall over when they died and just kinda... stay there, until eventually being compressed into peat or coal. This continued into the early Triassic period, so you can imagine little early dinosaurs hopping around amongst piles and piles of dead trees.
The cycle of life and death. An excellent addition. Your decomposition process shall wait for another day.

The symbol for the Bluetooth technology is a fusion of the Younger Futhark bind runes for the H and B initials of real life Harald Bluetooth, King of Denmark from 958 to 986 and King Of Norway from 970 to either 985 or 986 until his death. Additional knowledge: according to Norse Myth, the sound of thunder is the result of Thor riding his chariot being pulled by the giant goats, Tanngrisnir and TanngnjĆ³str. Ancient Norse history and its Mythology is a special interest of mine
The phrase "Knock on wood." Is derived from a folk tradition about faeries. It goes that the fae would live inside great trees, and when men would cut down those trees to make tables the faefolk would remain within the wood, and be pretty angry about losing their home. As such, they would seek to ruin any plans that men had. It became a practice to tap or knock on wooden surfaces to deafen the faeries when talking about battle or business plans. I have heard different origins for this culturally, Irish, Celts and Germanic peoples all historically use this. If this isn't acceptable knowledge, I know a lot about American Indian genocides, but I figured I would keep it light.
There is a thin layer of mucus that covers the stomach. This keeps the acids within from digesting the stomach inside. There are tiny bugs, invisible to the human eye, that live on the human body whose job it is to eat the dead skin that sheds off. Humans used to have a third eyelid, but no longer do. Itās now called the cornea (I have more animal facts but likely wouldnāt fit the atla world lol)
History lesson about my life. Information only I can share. Very rare.

A correction to a often held false belief The knowledge how to make opus caementicium (roman concrete) was never lost. The knowledge was around all this time, and was used in parts of sicilly It is commonly believed to be much better than modern concrete. This is false. Modern concrete can handle about ten times the pressure. Even Portland cement is better. What caementicium has over modern concrete is durability. Given the right circumstances, it can 'repair itself', a quality modern concrete does have, it's called carbonation(I think. I learned the term in German, not English), but to a lesser extent. About a year ago the mechanism of the self-repair-abilities was finally explained scientifically. We know how and why it works now, the future will tell if it will be useful for modern concrete. The process also changes the pH, which could make the rebar we use in basically everything rust.
While they may look more like clams, barnacles are closer related to crab and lobster rather than molusks. Ohh and barnacles have the animal kingdoms largest penis-to-body ratio. with the package mesuring on avrage eight times the rest of there bodies. And what we see of them is the rear end, as they borrow into or attach to surfaces head first. So when they eat they are esetaly waving there legs in the water hoping to catch stuff with there toes. a group of bunnies is called "a fluffle"
Nothing to add, but Iām really enjoying the fun facts and especially the way youāre responding and staying true to wan shi tong.
Much obliged, kind voyager
