I don't know why this entry was downvoted. This is true for many women (and people with a uterus), and most men couldn't bear that much pain that consistently. But since it concerns only half of the world's population, it's too niche to justify funding research about it 🤦‍♀️

Upvote for Octopuses! Also Octopuses have 33,000 genes, roughly 10,000 more than a human. This alone sets it apart from any other invertebrate in the world. No wonder some think that Octopuses are aliens. However, they share a lot of DNA with humans :).

Your brain is more active when you're asleep than when you're awake. While you're dreaming, your brain processes information, consolidates memories, and even rehearses potential scenarios.

The number of years it would take for all the atoms to "die" in this universe would amount to higher than the total amount of atoms in the universe. To give you an idea as to the size of the timescale, there are more atoms in a glass of water than there are glasses of water in all the oceans combined.

When you die, your cat will likely eat you, but not right away. this is because he/she still expects you to fill up his bowl. after a bit, when you do not fill up their bowl, they will likely nom on soft, exposed areas of your body (think neck, lips, nose). If you want more somewhat morbid facts like this, read "will my cat eat my eyeballs?" by caitlin something-or-other. it's a great read.

If the pain is similar, it is clear to me biological men have less resistance to it. I have heard women saying "Oh, God, I would gladly have another child", but I have never heard a dude going "Oh, boy, I cannot wait to have a knot in my balls again!"

Not a funny, but a random fact nonetheless: two Hairless Chinese Crested dogs should not be bred together because the hairless gene variant is lethal when a dog has two copies of the mutation. Therefore the mating should be between a Hairless and the Powderpuff variety of the breed.
(There's also the true hairless and the Hairy hairless, just to confuse you - and IMHO no kinder, more loyal, funnier breed of dog ever existed. Not that I'm biased ... )

No, it isn't. It's a fusion reaction that's being held together by gravity. That's not an explosion, which is, I quote: "An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy". The sun is not increasing in volume - we've got about 5 billion years before that happens.

This is simply not true. However, some things can be mixed with ketchup to make them toxic, which (depending on the substance) can cause kidney or liver failure that would not likely have a cause attributed to it.
