A random fact you recently got to know Started by: Protea on Apr 13, '21 10:49

Bicycles, in the 1800s, had the pedals installed directly on the front wheel. Therefore, you could only travel the circumference of the front wheel for every turn of the wheel. Also, the roads were quite rocky or had obstacles so it wasn't exactly safe to travel. So, in came the Penny-farthings; bicycles whose front wheel was a lot bigger than the back one. You could travel further and because of the reduced angle when the front wheel hit an obstacle, it was a lot safer to travel those pesky, bumpy roads.

The word nonce originated from writing it on a chalkboard outside the jail cell of sex offenders, and it stood for Not On Normal Communal Exercise, meaning they weren't allowed in the general population of the jail as they would be (and rightly) attacked.

I recently came to learn of the insane alcohol tolerance of hamsters. I guess mostly due to their diet of fruit and rye which they horde and it ferments. They'll drink unflavored everclear over water and not show signs of intoxication.

A snail has 2,500 teeth.

(That's totally not a frightening thought at all.)

The teeth can be found on their tongue that’s covered in ridges. They eat by rubbing their tongue on its food while the ridges cut it into tiny pieces.

Oranges are not naturally occurring fruits, they are hybrid of tangerine and pomelo. It is weird how humans got accustomed to it to that extent that it's considered natural.

One of the earliest uses—perhaps the earliest use—of "OMG" appeared in a letter to the then-member of Parliament, as The Atlantic reports. In 1917, British Navy Admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher wrote to Winston Churchill about rumors of new titles that would soon be bestowed. "I hear that a new order of Knighthood is on the tapis," he wrote. "O.M.G. (Oh! My God!)—Shower it on the Admiralty!"

There were a group of German soldiers during WW2 who's job was to protect a weather station on top of a remote mountain. They got news that the war ended and obviously wanted to go home. But sadly for them, they ended up getting stuck there for five or six more months in freezing temperatures before a random European hiker found them. They wanted to go home so bad they instantly surrendered.

recently found out that a lot of insects are disgusted by us. If for example you touch a roach and it escapes alive it will spend a long time washing the human stink off of itself. Kind of puts is all in perspective, huh?

During its transformation in the chrysalis, a caterpillar will self digest. At one point becoming a soup-like liquid. It then rebuilds itself into a butterfly. Like the fucking terminator. Not only that, scientists ran an experiment where they placed an electric shock hazard in the environment of a number of caterpillars. Over time they learned to avoid the hazard. The amazing thing is that after their transformation, the butterflies also avoided the hazard. Even though the very structure of the caterpillar brain has been broken down during the chrysalis phase, the memory persisted.
