Male giraffes will headbutt female giraffes in the bladder area, causing them to urinate. The males then taste the urine to see if the females are "in season." We learned this at the zoo after watching it happen. My 9-year-old son loudly exclaimed, "EWWWWWW! It just drank the PEE!!!"

When you feel grief at the loss of a book or film character it's because your brain cannot tell the difference between a real person and a fictional being. Any strong emotions you feel towards characters from books or films occur because your mind does not have a way to discern fact from fiction.

Pistol shrimp can use their claw to make a sound louder than a gun at 210 decibels which is louder than a space ship launch. They use the sound to emit a sound bubble, killing their prey. I think I read somewhere the sound is enough to rupture your eardrum as well as the best part: collapse your lungs.

Pacemakers aren’t turned off at death, unless it is removed due to cremation, it just keeps on ticketing -attempting to pace dead muscle.

The battery will quickly deplete but a brand new battery might go a few weeks before dying.

Think about that next time you are walking through a cemetery with new graves, how many have their pacemakers tireless firing away, trying to stimulate the heat conduction system to pump

Before modern home pregnancy tests, the most accurate way to tell if a woman was pregnant was by injecting her urine into frogs and waiting 24 hours to see if they laid eggs. There’s a hormone that exists in the urine of pregnant women that also made the frogs pregnant, but non-pregnant women don’t have this hormone so the frogs wouldn’t lay eggs for them. This very accurate method was used up until the invention of the home pregnancy test in 1976, which means some of your grandparents probably got the frog test.

While not a fact as in a known truth but it does exist. A thought experiment that is known as, "The Simulation Theory" that theorizes that we exist in a simulation. Going down the rabbit hole if we can create a universal simulation sufficiently advance enough that the inhabitants are able to exist on the same levels of awareness as humanity has currently (eat, sleep, work, make decisions, procreate) in this simulation then we would in fact confirm we were in a simulation. The technology already exists that we can create a universe, uninhabited, where we can track a select timescale of the universe we created with positioning and compositions of what these are made of. It is the first brick in the building that would house this theory. As tech grows and as we figure out how to get more power from our creations we are literally on the cusp of this./Spoiler The game no man's sky touched upon this point and believe it or not i found peace in such an existential crisis through that game /spoiler

I broke it down to this, it doesn't matter if it's a simulation or not. In our little grain of sand in this universe we don't need to change the universe or even change our planet. It boils down to our immediate reach, the people we interact with a daily basis and any time i buy my coworkers food i don't ask for payment or even look for praise, i just ask them to pass on that good will, if you see someone struggling in life and can help, do so. No religious connotations no expectation for the person to thank you, just help. If everyone does this then it doesn't matter how far reaching any government program is or how much racism exists in this world or what hate exists because we all are humans in a cruel and unforgiving world and we are all trying to figure out the human condition. We need to lift each other up around us and those people lift those up around them and pretty much everyone will be uplifted. So a simulation doesn't matter because we are real to each other.

I hate this claim that "most of our cells aren't human". What the stat really says is numerically, our microbiome outnumbers our native cells. It doesn't mean that most of our bodymass is microbiome. It just happens that microbiome cells are smaller.

I don’t think these gases combine at room temperature; some form of energy, such as lightning or high-voltage electricity, must be added to the mixture to cause the atoms to combine into water molecules.
