40 Seemingly Fabricated Facts That Have Been Proven To Be Accurate Information

Would you believe it if we told you that a chicken can live for 18 months without its head? It’s understandable to be skeptical, but it is true. It happened in 1940s America involving a chicken named Mike. Here's the full story.

We have a handful on this list if you want more of that. We’ve compiled responses to this recent Reddit question: “What’s a fact about the world that sounds totally fake but is 100% true?”

Some of these answers may blow your mind. If you enjoy nerding out on random facts about the world, this one’s for you. But either way, you will likely learn something new today.

40 Seemingly Fabricated Facts That Have Been Proven To Be Accurate Information Over 70 years ago then Naval Lieutenant James “Jimmy” Carter led a team that walked into a melting nuclear reactor core and shut it down safely. He got dosed with so much radioactivity (10,000x more than what we now consider safe) he pissed radioactive whizz for months. Yet he outlived not only his Presidential successor but his successor. He’s the nations oldest President ever, and recently celebrated his 78th wedding anniversary, also a record for a president.

40 Seemingly Fabricated Facts That Have Been Proven To Be Accurate Information Birds have been observed intentionally lining their nests with cigarette butts. While the nicotine in them is toxic to the birds, it's a low enough dose that it's not a significant risk to them in the short term (they don't live long enough for the long term effects to be a problem), and it k*lls parasites that may try to hide in the nest and infect the chicks.

Smaller bird species have been sighted stealing the anti-bird spikes that we put on buildings and lining their nests with them, like little palisade walls against other birds and predators. A small species like a songbird can navigate the spikes easily, but it makes it more difficult for a predator like a hawk or a rat to get to the nest.

Crows have also been observed stealing lit cigarettes from ashtrays and wafting the smoke through their feathers to k*ll parasites.

40 Seemingly Fabricated Facts That Have Been Proven To Be Accurate Information How old the Appalachian Mountains really are:

They are older than trees, bones (including all dinosaurs), and the splitting of Pangaea -- so part of the mountain range is in Scotland.

The layering on the mountains looks "wrong" at some points because the tops of the mountains have eroded down & "new" geological forces have caused parts that weren't the top to rise above that...so the valleys of the current mountains may actually be the top of the original Appalachian Mountains.

The basic reason we have billionaires is that they have created large scale businesses which have enormously suppressed worker wages. They are basically rich because they have stolen wages from large volumes of employees. Or done other unethical things. In 1978, a guy we knew graduated high school and went to work in a Ford plant in Linden, NJ. Made $17 per hour. That is $55 per hour in today's wages for a kid right out of high school. And that is an idea of the size of the incredible scam companies have done to our lives. We all could be living with wages at that level and beyond. And you can thank the billionaires for that.

Princip walked right up to the car and shot the Archduke at point-blank range, k*lling him, which started World War I -- the deadliest conflict in human history up to that point.

Horrifying fact: World War One was far, far, far, far from the deadliest conflict in human history up to that point. World War One killed about 15 million people, or 30 million people if you consider those who died from effects of World War One, including the "Spanish" Flu. (But I don't think it's reasonable to count those as "war dead," whereas I do think it's reasonable to count deliberate famines, like the Ukranian Holomodor, or even famines caused by suppression of dissent, like in Maoist China or British Ireland.) The Taiping Rebellion in China saw 30 million people killed. The Mongol invasions saw 57 million people killed. By comparison, the Crusades saw about 1 million die. The Lushan Rebellion and Three Kingdoms War, also in China, also saw way more people than World War One killed. The Black Death was caused by Germ Warfare by Muslim invaders of the Seige of Caffa, and could have killed 200 million people.

We don't know how much coastline there is on Earth.

It's called "The Coastline Paradox". Coastlines are fractal. Sure, we can look at a broad scale map, but miss all the tiny variations, sometimes mere ft or centimeters. These add up to huge numbers. Measuring the length of a coastline is tricky because the result depends on how detailed your measurement is. Imagine walking along the shore with a ruler: if you use a big ruler, you'll skip over small curves and bumps, giving you a shorter measurement. But if you use a smaller ruler, you can measure all the little details, and the coastline will seem much longer. Plus, it's always changing. Erosion, cliff collapse, water levels rising, volcanic events adding or removing it.

Ali H M Salehuddin 4 weeks ago

Here are a few relatively new facts; at least on BP. (1) There is a species of bird that you can catch by 'air fishing'. You dangle a bait in the air and birds swoop in and get caught. Just like regular fishing. (2) Probosic monkeys of Borneo has nine stomachs (even cows only have 7) to process hard to digest foods. Consequently, they can't eat bananas. Too sugary. (3) Eagles are actually flying 'blind' forward. Their eyes are super sensitive to light; which can easily get damaged by the bright sun. They have 'sunshades' on top of their eyes for protection. During flight, they focus down towards earth scanning for potential preys. The sunshades block their forward view. That's why they often hit tall wind turbines.

Yes, most of these are repeats, but still much better than the stream of human trafficking, narcissistic friends, and dumb bosses that BP has been feeding us the last couple of days.

There are natural place(s) where a nuclear reaction takes place, would be the more accurate factoid.
