Sometimes, reading some interesting information at work is just what you need to take your brain cells for a walk and get the creative juices pumping. Fortunately, that’s exactly what the /r/FunFacts subreddit provides - safe-for-work interesting facts!

If your boss catches you scrolling this post or the aforementioned subreddit, consider telling them that this is just what you needed to jog your productivity. In fact, there’s a new fact for that as well - when your brain learns new information, it forms new neuronal connections, and the more it does this, the better it gets at it. That’s called neuroplasticity.

The process by which your brain actually learns these facts is an interesting and not entirely intuitive one. Let’s dig in.

Most people know that our brain consists primarily of neurons. These cells link to one another with synapses, forming a dense network of connections that send signals through the brain and onwards throughout our bodies. At a basic level, these are the cells that embody the information we learn.

And people made fun of him. He - or someone else - mentioned the analogy the periodic systems carries in regard to music, where each octave, the same tones and intervalls repeat, but with twice the frequency, ... but any F# will have an A as minor-third, so given an F# as base, any and every A is the minor third and acts as such, as well as any and every C# is and acts as a fifth and so on ... Silicone can be made into the same structures as C in a molecule (it's not that truly EVERYTHING could work out with C replaced by Si, but ... some ... 4 vacancies on the outer shell, the results thereof, ... interaction with mass and bond energies cause the deviation, ...) and such, ... people are said to have barked "then, let your atoms sing a song for you!" in an attempt to make fun of what he discovered. Oh my, people suck. People really suck - at least, the benefit of not being disproven should be granted to every idea ... and, keep in mind - at the time this was disregarded by other chemists, the vast majority of even biologists were still believing in a creation myth being the origin of life, species and a never discovered soul that is said to be exclusively issued to humans. Which ... well ... well ... THAT, fun may be made of unhesitantly, because funny is the best this could ever even dare to attempt to wish to be.

When your neuronal connections fire in certain patterns, those connections are strengthened and reinforced, and those reinforced pathways become the basis of all of our knowledge.

This is, of course, a gross oversimplification. Our brains contain lobes and segments that are specialized towards different parts of our thinking processes, but at a basic level, we have neural pathways criss-crossing those regions of the brain that form the basis for what we know.

Neuroplasticity, then, is our brain’s ability to learn new information and revise things we’ve learned before. The greater your neuroplasticity, presumably, the more likely you will be to remember more of the cool facts on this list!

In reality, that’s not the only thing that determines your capacity to learn. Learning can be reinforced by many other factors, a couple of significant ones being repetition and emotion. This one sounds like common sense when you think about it - you’re more likely to remember the facts that shocked you, made you smile, or interested you the most.

well in my city to build a park bathroom (3 urinals and 3 stalls mens side, 5 stalls womens side, and some sinks) it took 1.5 years of committee meetings and approvals, and 1.5 years to build, and cost $3 million. And people wonder why NYC roads are bads. My local library took the government 7 years and $9 million (when it was supposed to be 3 years and $7 million) for a bland building that already is having issues (less than 8 years old now) that could have been built in 2 year and $1 million dollars if it wasnt a government project.
