Though, below, you will find not only the fun facts, but Bored Panda’s interviews with the redditor who started the thread, as well as Social Psychology Area Head and Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology at Arizona State University, Michael E.

In 1802 Napoleon added a Polish Legion to the forces sent to Saint-Domingue (Haiti) to fight off the slave rebellion. Upon discovering that the slaves fought for their freedom, the vast majority of Poles eventually joined the slaves against the French. The Polish had a familiar situation back home, where they fought for their liberty against invading Russia, Prussia, and Austria that began in 1772. The unofficial motto of Poland is" For our freedom and yours " The concept is deeply rooted in the history of human struggle for liberty. It is a phrase that echoes the unwavering spirit of those who have fought and sacrificed for the freedom of others, often at great personal cost. Polish people were called "The White Negroes of Europe" and since then they created haiti- polish brotherhood. Beautifully story ❤️

“Cows Have Accents”: 40 Fun Facts “No One Asked For,” But You Might Still Enjoy This may have been posted before, but still...


On 8 April, 1942, a detachment of Polish soldiers, deployed to Iran by the Allies, bought a **bear cub** from an Iranian boy. In August the bear was given to the 22nd Artillery Supply company and named Wojtek by the soldiers.


They fed him condensed milk, honey, fruit, and beer, which ended up being his favorite drink. He also picked up smoking, and enjoyed wrestling with his human friends, and bunking in on cold nights.


When the Polish II Corps was redeployed it Italy to fight alongside the British, the Brits wouldn’t transport mere mascots on a troop ship, so Wojtek was formally enrolled in the Polish army as a private.


During the brutal Battle of Monte Cassino Private Wojtek helped keep the guns firing by hauling boxes of ammo, each containing four 25 pound shells. These crates normally took four men to haul. For his bravery and service in battle Wojtek was promoted to Corporal, and his visage became the emblem of the 22nd Artillery Supply Company.


After the war the 22nd was sent to Scotland, before being demobilized, at which point Wojtek was given to the Edinburgh Zoo, where he was often visited by Polish soldiers until his death in 1963.


**TDLR:** Polish soldiers adopted a bear named Wojtek in 1942. He served in WWII, carrying ammo at the Battle of Monte Cassino, and was promoted to Corporal. After the war, he lived in the Edinburgh Zoo until 1963.

He must have been so lonely... Although I certainly don't agree it was a good thing that he was bought and essentially raised in captivity. Of course not. But he was raised by them, fed by them, cared for by them. With them all that time. Yes, I'm sure he went through hell... Not good. No. But to then put him into a confined space, with non of his people ever around, only the odd visit... For all those years. That's so, so sad... Poor Bear

The reason so many redditors seem to have at least one or two fun facts at hand is because, according to cognitive scientist and researcher Elizabeth Bonawitz, curiosity is innate in all humans. “Curiosity acts as a kind of filter you put over the world to help the mind decide what information to attend to,” Harvard Graduate School Of Education cites her saying. “It’s a physiological response that helps drive action and decision-making to support learning.”

Talking about curiosity, Dr. Michael E. W. Varnum pointed out to Bored Panda that a recent meta-analysis examining hundreds of studies found that curiosity appears to be positively linked to intelligence. “The personality trait of openness is also associated with higher levels of curiosity. Age may also play a role,” he added.

“Some work suggests that curiosity may decline in old age. On the other end of the lifespan, young children, much to the delight and sometimes consternation of their parents, tend to be incredibly curious.”

“Cows Have Accents”: 40 Fun Facts “No One Asked For,” But You Might Still Enjoy In 1884, a crew stranded on a boat on the high seas ate the cabin boy, Richard Parker, to survive. (R v Dudley and Stephens case)

In 1838, Edgar Allan Poe's first and only novel was published (The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket). In the novel, a group of whaling sailors are stranded on a boat. To prevent them from dying of hunger and thirst, one of the crew offers to draw lots. The crew agrees. The one who draws the short straw is also the one who offered it. But the irony is not there. The real irony is the name of this fictional character in the novel: Richard Parker.

And no, you didn't misread the dates!

Even though our curiosity might decline in old age, according to Dr. Varnum, we tend to keep learning throughout our entire life. “In fact, research suggests that crystallized intelligence tends to increase in adulthood into old age, although at extremely older ages dementia or other sources of cognitive decline may kick in. But nonetheless, in general we do continue to accumulate knowledge and experience throughout our lives.

“In terms of the importance of curiosity, studies have found that it may improve well-being and enhance success in academic settings among other benefits,” the expert added.

Wasps lay their eggs in fig flowers and die, then the fig eats the dead wasp and grows into a fig, and the baby wasps hatch and leave, usually. But sometimes the fig doesn’t eat all of the wasp, and sometimes the eggs don’t hatch, and sometimes the baby wasps don’t escape, and you don’t really notice any of this when you eat them, most of the time.

When you exercise, your body compensates for the calories lost by burning fewer calories over the course of the day.

So roughly 25-50% of the calories burned are negated. Meaning if you burn 100 calories, it really only comes to 50-75.

The higher your body fat percentage the worse it is 😐.

The boiling water makes clear ice cubes is bs. Directional freezing using an insulated container is the better method - with the sides insulated and the top not, it freezes from the top down, leaving the bits that make it cloudy in the unfrozen water at the bottom.

If there is someone on trial who has a history of domestic violence, the prosecutors want all domestic violence victims off of the jury.

Conversely, the defense wants them ON the jury.

Why? They clearly stood by someone who abused them. They’re, statistically speaking, more likely to be more sympathetic to perpetrators.

It was definitely illegal in Jamaica when I was there. They defended their plantations with shotguns. They defended their shipments with machine guns. People who offended the d**g lords ended up dead and unburied in the cemetery. And all the politicians looked the other way. Personal observation on all four. Nasty business.

Birds are actually the only line of dinosaurs that survived mass extinction and evolved to rule the air as mammals took over the land. The line is called theropods. Don't belive? Search it up I dare you.

The song Alive by Pearl Jam is about a mother telling her son that his father isn't actually his real father. His real father died when he was too young to remember.

The mother, then tells her son that since he became a man he looks exactly like his father and that she has developed sexual feelings towards him.

..

No BS, and this is part one of a trilogy of songs about this tale.

Kind of wrong. The Kellogg brothers were religious and into healthy eating/living. They 'invented' cornflakes at the sanitarium they ran. They did believe that healthy eating would help curb certain sins such as masturbation. No reports could be found to state that they made them specifically to stop sexual feelings or masturbation

Fruit doesn't contain protein, but in the nutritional information on juice bottles, there is a protein content.... from unlucky insects.

They have on average 1g protein, with some having up to 4g. This is occurring in the fruit, not insect related.
