Going through obscure facts isn't just temporary fun. Turns out, it can also be good for our mental health. For example, experts say that playing trivia games can provide a dopamine rush much like gambling, but without the negative effects.

Whether we're playing Trivial Pursuit at home or attending a pub trivia night, the basic premise remains the same: we experience the thrill of providing correct answers to questions about lesser-known facts.

No he really was wearing intentionally the exact same clothes every day down to the socks and he did it so they couldn't prove the pictures were taken on different days and locations, making them almost useless because they looked like old news after a few days. He was in a stage play and would change into the exact same clothes every day to head home. But he wasn't stalked as soon as they saw he was wearing the same clothes

"You get a rush or a neuro reward signal or a dopamine burst from winning,” John Kounios, Ph.D., professor of psychology and director of the doctoral program in applied cognitive and brain sciences at Drexel University in Pennsylvania, told Healthline.

“I think whenever you’re challenged with a trivia question and you happen to know it, you get a rush. It’s sort of like gambling.”

Kounios said the benefits can also be similar to those of playing video games.

However, Kounios stressed that trivia is generally not a problematic hobby.

“I don’t think there are any pitfalls,” he said. “Like anything else that’s fun, it takes up time.”

Over the past decade, pub trivia nights that are popular in the United Kingdom appear to have grown in popularity in other parts of Europe and the United States as well.

Enthusiasts like Kishler enjoy getting to interact with people at these events, especially compared to electronic trivia games.

She has learned that doing well at these social trivia games gives her "a feeling of validation" and increases her self-esteem.

“People really like to have some expertise on something and the brain is very good at focusing on things that you’re interested in,” Deborah Stokes, Ph.D., L.P.C., B.C.N., a psychologist in Virginia, who focuses on neurotherapy told the same outlet.

According to Stokes, learning large bodies of knowledge can often start with trivia. And people who are interested in trivia can be brainy, have a high IQ, and be smart on a lot of levels.

I need to know how f'd up the dude was after. So after some googling. The gorilla was intoxicated on fermented bamboo. He came at the photographer with all his weight and it felt like being hit by a train he said. He was left with a souvenir scar on his forehead. (I'm guessing from where his camera went into his face.) Then the gorilla just walked right over him and went on his way. (Super lucky he's alive imo).

"In typical people, my observation, not backed up by any research, is that their interest in trivia is confined to topics that they are generally interested in," Kounios added.

"So if a person is very interested in history, then they may either seek out history trivia, or they might just naturally pick it up in the course of learning about nontrivial aspects of history."

Stokes also pointed out that trying to retain information about things we're interested in can be like a good exercise for the frontal cortex as the brain ages.

So if you're up for more, fire up our earlier publication on 'WTF Facts!'

They had questions if she was that old-like maybe her daughter took over her identity. The other fascinating thing is her lawyer went into contract with her to purchase her apartment en viager when she was 90. Basically someone makes a monthly payment until the seller’s death, when the property becomes theirs. She outlived him. And his children had to continue the payments by law until her death. Maybe karma thinking he was getting a great deal on real estate.

This makes me feel better, it's a great reminder to check yourself for thinking in stereotypes. My IQ is close to that, and I've not made any noticeable accomplishments that would give it away. I am disabled, and feel I can never live up to the potential I had as a child. I think everyone expects that a high IQ means we've gotta be nerdy, awkward geniuses. Higher IQ does, however, increase existential depression, so please, bring on the cannabis so we can make it until tomorrow. Do not judge a book by it's cover, or even by it's reputation 💜

It’s because “cow” (牛) in slang means someone that has extremely impressive abilities. The original “牛姐” (literally translated “cow girl” or “cow sis”) was a nickname for Mariah Carey, and people in China thought Ariana’s voice was similar to Mariah’s, so she was known as “小牛“ (little cow).
