Aboriginal Australians lived in paradise before colonisation. It took on average 4hrs/day to acquire all the food and resources you'd need. Imagine if your biggest choice was "do I hunt, fish or go to the yam beds today". After you have a big party with everyone, eat, dance and go to bed.
Furthermore Aboriginal people resisted colonisation every step of the way. It is a lie that we were dying out. It is a lie that we were happy to be subjugated. Today is Australia day, a day that celebrates colonisation. In Australia they celebrate the day my people were murdered rather than better dates such as the day Aboriginal people got the right to vote and we all were included as Australians. The date of our national holiday needs to change

Hmm, I have a lot.
1) if the Milky Way galaxy was the size of the USA, the sun would be the size of a white blood cell.
2) comparing an atom to a coin is like comparing the coin to the moon.
3) in about 4 billion years, the Milky Way and its neighbour (the Andromeda galaxy) will collide and merge forming a new galaxy by the name “Milkdromeda” (not the official name but it’s what people prefer calling it)
4) there is a theorised type of matter known as “anti-matter”. If you touch an anti-matter version of yourself, you both would anhilate each other and give out a huge burst of energy. (The properties of anti-matter and regular matter are the same except that the charges are reversed. Electrons are positive, protons are negative and so on)
5) there is a 1 in 5.2*10^61 chance that if you slam your hand against a table, the atoms in your hand will miss the atoms in the table and go right through it.
6) if you were able to compress the history of planet Earth into a single day, humans would appear 1 second before midnight.
7) it’s impossible to cool down an atom to 0 Kelvin. If you did that then you would know how fast the atom was going ( 0 km/hr) and where it was which isn’t exactly allowed in this universe.
8) the skin on your a**s and the skin on your lips are exactly the same.

I have a lot more facts but I’m afraid I’m running out of space so maybe next time

well as a fan of random trivia and a huge nerd, here's the first 10 random facts I thought of:

1) dolphin semen causes orgasms so extreme they stop your heart and kill you. also the thing about dolphins saving people in the ocean? yea no they're much more likely to rape you.

2) the official animal of scotland is the unicorn.

3) if your immune system found out about your eyes, it would think your eyes are a foreign object and destroy them.

4) the only food that never goes bad is honey.

5) pools shouldn't smell. everybody thinks that chlorine has a smell, but it doesn't. what you actually smell at a pool is chloride; which is a chemical reaction that occurs when you mix chlorine and urine, sweat, and/or makeup.

6) there is nothing every single human agrees on. literally nothing. not even the majority of humans can agree on something. and i bet someone who is reading this disagrees with me.

7) the name for fear of palindromes (words/phrases that are spelled the same forwards and backwards. for example dad; racecar; hannah; go hang a salami, i'm a lasagna hog) is aibohphobia. yea english is fun.

8) "anyways" is not a word. the word is "anyway." "irregardless" is not a word. the word is "regardless". "i could care less" makes no sense. you mean "i couldn't care less." signed, every grammar nerd ever.

9) 31 out of the world's 32 developed countries have free healthcare. guess which one is the odd one out. GO 'MURICA!

10) period cramps can produce the same amount of pain as a heart attack. no im not joking. having a uterus fcking sucks.

Whether you could see the start of the universe as you fell into a black hole isn't entirely obvious and the "end" of the universe is a bit unclear, but you would certainly see a long way into the future. If you chose a supermassive black hole, you might even survive the tidal forces long enough to see the universe begin to expand at a noticeably faster rate. As for trusting that people have kept track of what day it is, there was a schism between Eastern Europe and Western Europe in the middle ages and it's the reason Greek Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas later than Catholics and Protestants.

In normal usage, "kerf" refers to the thickness of material removed by a toothed blade. Normal off-the-shelf puzzles are made of a pressed paper, like a stiff cardboard, are cut with a die - which works more like a razor blade pressing through the material. No material is removed, so technically there's no kerf. A fancy puzzle that's maybe made of a thin wooden board might be cut with a jigsaw, a blade that has teeth and thus removes material. This leaves a kerf of a measurable thickness.

Facts to give you an existential crisis:

- You're not actually solid. You're mostly empty space. You're made of atoms, and they're just a tiny nucleus and some tinier electrons with a ton of space between them.

- The Big Bang had a bunch of really short, exotic eras a fraction of a second long. That seems short to us. The era of stars and life seems like the point of the universe that the short seconds of the Big Bang were a precursor to. But this isn't the universe's final form. After the stars go out, the era of black holes will last so much longer than the era of stars that the era of stars is on the same scale as the split-second-long eras at the beginning of the Big Bang. We are still living in the Big Bang.

There are *more than* two trillion galaxies, assuming the universe has not fallen into vacuum decay that just has not yet reached us. Even then, it would have to be finite to have fewer galaxies, and we don't know and probably can't know if the universe is indeed finite. As far as being solid... first, we are mostly liquid (from just a phase perspective) so even in the simplest of terms, we aren't solid. But when you get down into the "empty space" of atoms, standard ideas of "empty" and "full" don't really work out. Electrons aren't in a single place, they are in clouds with a certain energy that means they are more or less likely to be observed at a given place, but not for sure... but they can still absorb and release photons according to their valence rules, wherever they "are". The nucleus also doesn't "exist" in a comfortable way. Protons and neutrons are made of quarks which are particles in their own right but mostly have mass because of their interactions with the quantum foam and not because they are some sort of individually "touchable" thing. Of course they do have strong force color and electric charge, so they are touchable the same way anything else is, by repulsive force between like charged particles creating a very high energy barrier at close range, as an increasingly intense flurry of photons tries to knock one side or the other back.

Only recently, scientists studying the Pacific Ocean identified a lost continent, since named Zealandia. The main bits still sticking up above water are New Zealand and New Caledonia. It was shown that even the parts still submerged had once been above the ocean, long enough to weather. So, that makes 8 continents if I added correctly.

Also, the Pacific Ocean is expanding as the continents drift back into another huge land mass (still many millions of years in the future!) A recent BP photo of the Ocean showed only once significant landmass - New Zealand. This is a nice change as NZ is often missed off "whole world" maps! Kia ora to all my fellow Kiwis! Arohanui.

The change in ocean levels from the last few ice ages to the last few thousand years is truly startling. It's unsurprising that great flood stories are part of many cultures worldwide.

My undergrad degree is in Japanese, and I learned this tidbit in a history class:

After the atom bomb, people saw what they called "pink horses." It wasn't a hallucination. The horses' fur and skin melted off, and their nerve endings went with it. The horses couldn't feel pain as they became dehydrated and died from the burns.

I think the last one is a mix up on the old superstition about lighting 3 cigarettes on one match. Snipers watched for the glow from a foxhole in the dark. First one lit, sniper spots your location. 2nd one lit, sniper aims, 3rd one and sniper shoots, so "3 on a match" was said to be bad luck. The black Lucky Strike story was an urban legend claiming a black cigarette in the pack meant there was marijuana in it.

Jupiter is bigger than all the other planets combined, and Ganymede (a moon of Jupiter) and Titan (a moon of Saturn) are larger than Mercury and almost as large as Mars. Earth's moon is larger than Pluto.

Frustrated by inaction, an early Seattle resident began digging the canal between Lake Union and the Salish Sea with just a shovel.

Portland Oregon has boulders of granite from Missoula Montana weighing several tons, brought by the floods that helped to shape the Columbia Gorge.

The Rocky Mountains are not volcanic. They are a result of the content of North America being squeezed by oceanic plates.

Much of the Oregon coast has an uplift of about two meters since the last major earthquake there in the year 1700 (as recorded by a rogue wave marked in Japanese records). Scientists estimate these earthquakes happen about every 300 years.

If the meteor that hit the Siberian wilderness in 1908 had hit a city, it likely would have leveled it. The meteor that hit off the coast near what is now Cancun and ended the age of large dinosaurs makes the combined power of every nuclear arsenal in the world look fairly feeble.

Both fusion and fission convert a small portion of the mass of an atom directly to energy. Iron is the "break even" element, and all heavier elements require energy to be converted to mass to form. Elements fusing or decaying toward iron release energy by a factor of E=mc², where m is the change in mass between the starting atoms and the ending ones. Since matter-antimatter annihilation converts most or all of the total mass into pure energy, it is substantially more energy dense than anything else on earth. It's also not available naturally and is very inefficient to create.

Helium is very abundant in the universe but on Earth all helium is the byproduct of a particular type of radioactive decay and is a limited resource. Helium released into the air is rapidly pushed to space. Because of it's very low liquefaction point, it it critical to superconducting magnets and other science and because of it's inertness and small size it is critical for testing human made objects being sent to space. For more than a decade, the USA sold its stockpile for below market rate and no new helium was recovered in most of the world, so beyond already being a limited resource we squandered the supply we had. If we don't conserve helium internationally, and make a serious effort to capture it during natural gas extraction and recapture it by keeping it in closed systems, we may loose the ability to do diagnostic imaging like MRI's, to run many types of quantum computers, and much of low temperature science will become much harder to access.

Circa 1959: 'The Tingler' was a horror flick with several firsts:

1. Depiction of LSD use. It was legal at the time.

2. Audience immersion in events.

a) Some theater seats had aircraft wing de-icers, basically military issue vibrators. They simulated shock from the film's monster.

b) Fake screamers and fainters in audience. Fake nurses and ambulance drivers in lobby.

3. Actors spoke directly to audience.

First, to tell the audience to remain seated as real woman in audience stands up, screams, and faints. Then film appears to break as shadowy figure of monster moves across projection beam. Suddenly, Vincent Price tells the audience not to panic but monster loose in that theater. He says 'Scream! Scream for your lives!' That's when those cussed vibrating devices activated and scared the dickens out of every kid in the theater. Me included. It wasn't a shock so much as violent jittering that felt like shock. Static electricity and imagination played a part, too.

4. Filmed in Black & White but had color sequence spliced in... bloody hand rising from drain. Actor and set painted in monochrome to match rest of film, add shock value to bloody hand.

5. Movie-in-a-Movie effect. Clip of old movie fight scene played at climatic point.

Director was William Castle. Creative genius. Check out his autobiography, "Step Right Up! I'm Gonna Scare The Pants Off America"

Mules almost always sterile because: odd number of chromosomes. Horses have 64 chromosomes, donkeys have 62. Mating could produce a mule with 63 chromosomes, a donkey with 62 chromosomes, or a chimera... an animal that has genetic markers from different species. So it's possible for a mule to birth a foal but it would be exceedingly rare. About 50 cases in past two hundred years. Helpful source: Missouri mule named Molly. She loves carrots and jumping fences.

Yet an estimated 100 million sharks are killed per year throughout the world, mostly for shark-fin soup and bogus aphrodisiacs. This is greater than the recovery rate.

Navy vet here: Thing is... neither country has the monopoly on power anymore. Britain shed its colonies and American politicians destroyed its industries. Although it's still a 'superpower' it's not the only one. Young people are not running to enlist, except for education opportunities. Wars are money making schemes for politicians and their cronies: Vietnam, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm... those countries were no threat to us. Now we've got Ukraine, where it seems a dam was built to stop flow of river to Crimea, destroying agriculture that fed much of Russia. Who wins will be determined later... but there is a non-zero chance we're all going to lose. Politicians suck.

It's amazing to me just how many people on here leave comments on posts where they ask the OP questions or attempt to. Even though MOST articles are stuff that Bored Panda took from OTHER sites. Most of them Reddit. So, people of Bored Panda, if you want to ask a question to some from a post, don't ask in the comments here since they won't see it, go to the original place where they posted it. The link is always below the picture.

It was the right person who came forward to discuss people who are unreasonable or who think superficially. And you're the person who today, in January 2023, claims to be proven to be a monster who harasses everyone around him, abusing them. And you still dare write Justice for Amber!, which is hilarious. Lady Turd already admitted that she invented the whole story.

When Jeffrey Dahmer killed his first victim, he loaded the body in garbage bags and threw it in the trunk of his car. He's been drinking and, as he was driving, he was pulled over by police. He was given a sobriety test and barely passed. The officer gave him the benefit of the doubt and let him go. Had he been arrested for DUI, chances are his car would have been searched and the body discovered...ending his killing spree right there and then.

The Verrazzano Bridge between Staten Island and Brooklyn hangs from two massive towers just like the Golden Gate Bridge. If you pass a centerline through each of its two towers, these centerlines are farther apart from each other at their tops than at their bottoms. This was the first engineered structure ever that had to take into account the curvature of the earth in its design & construction. Chew on THAT, flat-earthers.

EDIT: I just checked this "fact" against the Golden Gate Bridge. An architect at a high profile firm told me about the Verrazzano bridge, but I'm finding the Golden Gate bridge is 30 years older and its towers are also farther apart at the top than at the bottom. Surely they saw it coming and planned for it, so I'll have to question this so-called fact.

Ludwig Beethoven was not born deaf, he started to become deaf early in adulthood, and did become completely deaf until in his forties. His story is still one of perseverance and strength in a life of many obstacles because of losing his hearing in the 1800's and still composing and performing in public while trying to hide the fact as long as possible.
