I had a conversation with my 6 year old just last night where I asked him if Pluto was a planet. We started a new science facts book and who knows if it’s current information or not. BTW he got a huge kick out of My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.

The Original Bruno 2 years ago

Fun fact: While Pluto was a planet, scientists were adamant there was no 10th planet. Then they found a 10th (and 11th) planet. So they kept the discoveries secret, changed the definition of planet, and then announced the 10th and 11th objects which previously would've been called planets. Now, in fairness, Pluto turned out smaller than they had previously thought. But the definition of planet is now based on impossibly complex and contextual terms, whereas there is such a simple definition of planet possible, but it would include Pluto, Ceres, and the two new bodies: A planet orbits its star directly, and is large enough that it's own gravity forces is strong enough to shape rock into a roughly spherical shape. (More technically, "hydrostatic equilibrium.")

Because old glass was made in such a way that it had ripples and irregularities. So when you'd be in a very old building they'd say, you can see here glass is actually a very viscous liquid. See how i5 moving down has warped the glass? Now or techniques are better so it never looks like it's melting.

Common sense told me that wasn't true.

Jeff Gabrisl 2 years ago

Because at one point in time, it was true. Depending on how the glass was made, some windows from a long time ago will end up with bulges at the bottom. As a glass fitter, you wouldn't be able to fit a pane of glass into a window if it wasn't true/flat. However, you can find old windows where the bottom bulges. In America it's called colonial glass, and people will pay hearty sums to restore broken windows with actual colonial glass. Glass like that just takes a long time to notice the fluidity, a couple hundred years. A great comparison to glass liquidity is the pitch drop experiment. Pitch is so hard that you need a hammer to break it, but it is actually a liquid because it doesn't form a crystalline structure. The new types of glass, like tempered, are solid, and are crystalline, but most anything that is hand blown glass is still a liquid, albeit a slow moving liquid.

The Half-life of Facts. It's one of the reasons Doctors, and Surgeons have to keep learning. What they were taught, gets surpassed, or even disproven. My first job out of school, a guy, three times my age, that I worked with (a very interesting, smart guy) asked if I believed in this, "Tectonic Plate theory thing". He had simply never been taught about them. 20 years later, on a Photographic Expedition, I come to find out that there are a LOT more than the seven Tectonic Plates I was taught about, in my own school days.

Julius Zuke 2 years ago

To be fair about it, using only internet resources to research many topics is a huge mistake, Book publishers are always very careful to print accurate information. Getting a reputation for printing sketchy information would put them out of business. Furthermore, there is so much information in books pre-digital that the chance of all books being entered on the internet is exceedingly slim. Finally, a lot of information is regional or local, meaning 99.999999% of the world population has no interest in it, but that tiny fraction of the population who would treasure that information would never get to see it if the books all disappeared and it didn't make it to digital.

In the early 1980s, at the dawn of the age of the personal computer, people were afraid of the darn machines. 'Computerphobia' was spreading like wildfire. And the idea that one day we'd all be chronically obsessed with computers, in as much with the internet, seemed as ridiculous as having all tomes of Encyclopedia Britannica and much more at the tip of your finger.

Today, however, we'd be pretty much lost without going online. According to one study, more than half of Americans admit to learning most of what they know thanks to the internet. When the pandemic happened and we were all collectively locked inside our homes, God knows how bad things could have gotten if not for the ability to have online classrooms.

BP, you reached a real low with this entry. The title looks like a 4 year old’s birthday party invitation that their parents put an eye roll emoji on to amuse the other parents. This is a woman who accomplished 100 times what the rest of us could only dream of doing. She was in high school at age 10, ffs. The average age of a 9th grader is 14 or 15, add another year for a 10th grader (back in the day, before the middle school thing, after elementary school you went to junior high for 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, so didn’t start high school until 10th grade). She would’ve graduated high school at 13 or 14, and if they let her go right to college, she would’ve had her Bachelors by18, when most people are graduating high school, and already started Grad School when other kids in her age group were nothing more than incoming freshmen. She probably had to fight hard to take the classes for her field, as they were full of men who wouldn’t like a woman, especially a genius like her, as competition. Same thing entering her field. The guys probably kept trying to turn her into their secretary. I won’t even go into all the sexual harassment she no doubt had to face. But she did it, and earned the high respect of NASA and all the astronauts and engineers there. I doubt you advanced that far in school, BP, so have some f*****g respect for Katherine G Johnson.

"You can learn anything on the internet, so why do I so often learn things I don’t want to know?" Daniel T. Willingham, author of 'Outsmart Your Brain,' ponders in his article. It's a valid question, particularly when we consider just how much information we are constantly bombarded with.

According to the latest estimates, 328.77 million terabytes of data are pumped into the web each day. Of course, it's not clear how much of it is new information unseen on the net before. But considering that it takes around 5-6 hours (or two Avengers films) to read a single, unfiltered terabyte of data - and two more hours to stop your addicted fingers from scrolling friends' feeds on Insta - we're kind of happy there's r/interesting to filter out the most curious bits of it.

It's an art installation in the UK. The windows came from a disused church that was being torn down. It's not uncommon for churches to fall out of use as demographics change and congregations come and go. There is a church near me that lost its stained glass windows when it was converted into a restaurant decades ago.

'Pence' is the plural of 'penny'. So 'one penny', 'ten pence, fifty pence'. Sometimes when I pay by cash my change is one penny (because things are often 99 pence) and I have to bite my lip because the cashier says "One pence change," instead of "One penny".

I live in Flathead County, MT we have amazing things here including being the entrance to Glacier National Park. It is a rural county almost the size of the state of CT with a few "cities". Over the summer we are inundated with tourists flocking here in giant RV's and trashing our beautiful lakes and mountains. We are more likely to be nice to you if you just try to not litter, stop trying to pet wildlife, always be prepared for bears, National parks are not playgrounds there is no safety net to catch you, do not be rude to service employees. The locals are all polite and neighborly in public even when we do not know each other but come tourist time we keep our heads down and lose our neighborlyness. Also, remember you are in rural NW Montana you will see many signs and flags with "f" Biden, open carry (and concealed since it is legal here) but do know there are lots of us trying to fight the good fight like our state Senator Jon Tester.

It appears, then, that nature is a shared interest among members of r/interesting and Bored Panda readers. "Nature is one of the most popular types of content posted on this sub," they said. While it's been found that spending at least 120 minutes, or 2 hours, a week in nature is associated with good health and well-being, dedicating a similar amount of time to immersing ourselves in the captivating world of wildlife on our screens can't be all that detrimental, right?

Something in the Ankylosaur family.

Could be a plausible reason for the dragon myth, at least in places where these dinos lived. Imagine a Roman or Dark Age peasant digging one of these up in their field.

But what exactly drives us to seek information which may not be necessary or actively sought after? There's no one simple explanation, Daniel Willingham, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Virginia and the author of 'Outsmart Your Brain,' explained to Bored Panda.

"Curiosity is a desire to gain more information," he said. "We expect ourselves to be curious about things that are either a topic that's interesting or have some utility for us in the long term." Apparently, neither of that is 100% true. Instead, Willingham argues that "curiosity seems to be to have a very short time scale it cares about."

Let's say, for example, that you're an ardent stamp collector and stumble upon a conversation where someone claims to possess intriguing insights about the World War II postage stamps that graced France. Your initial reaction? Nonchalance. Why? "You would not feel any curiosity exactly because you feel like you already know pretty much everything, even though it's of great interest to you," Willingham argued.

Now, let's flip the script. Imagine a scenario where someone, unaware of your stamp-collecting prowess, suggests sharing the very knowledge you hold dear. They entice you with the prospect of uncovering a treasure trove of information, as you stand on the precipice of ignorance. Curious, right?

Well, not quite, it turns out. "You wouldn't feel any curiosity [in the subject] because the information wouldn't feel meaningful to you," he explained. "In order for information to feel meaningful, you have to have something to connect it to."

Yesss, my great-aunt died of diphtheria at the age of 7. When the vaccine became available my great-grandmother made sure not only all her (remaining) children got it, but also every child in the village. It allegedly didn't endorse her with every parent, but she didn't want anyone else to suffer the pain she had. Seeing as nowadays diphtheria has gone from one of the big child killers, to only killing an antivaxxers child every few years, I'd say that sentiment mostly succeeded.

According to Willingham, one of the most important ingredients for the sake of our curiosity is being surrounded by new juicy information that we're not particularly interested in already. It's this very notion that subreddits like r/interesting thrive upon, constantly offering users a stream of captivating tidbits. However, this is why traditional educational institutions often struggle to evoke a sense of curiosity in students.

"It's so difficult for teachers to make children feel curious about school content because some of them already know it. A lot of them don't know anything at all about it, so they can't connect with anything." Unlike the boundless realm of the internet, where we have the freedom to indulge our curiosity by delving deep into topics that pique our interest, the educational system presents a different reality.

In school, we are bound to follow a structured curriculum that encompasses a wide range of subjects. We don't have the luxury of cherry-picking only the areas that intrigue us. Instead, we must navigate the entire breadth of the curriculum.

With the advent of Google and the ability to access an infinite pool of information at our fingertips, the landscape of curiosity has undergone a profound transformation. "The expectation [nowadays] is that we should feel curious sort of all the time," Willingham said, noting that this perpetual state of curiosity can be both exhilarating and draining.

Recent statistics show that 1-in-5 Americans admit to feeling overloaded by information - a phenomenon that runs counter to the very essence of curiosity.

You can drive or ride an incline train to the top of Pike’s Peak in Colorado, 14,110 feet high—-and it’s not even close to the highest mountain in Colorado, much less the Rockies.

*High, not tall. For instance, there are peaks WAY taller than Mount Everest. There's a mountain in Canada/Alaska that rises more than 20,000 straight off sea level.

This is being done for human babies. The technology could someday better support infants born in the middle of the second trimester, as early as 22 or 23 weeks into the pregnancy. Currently, babies born so early have a low chance of surviving — about 50 percent — and the devices that keep them alive can also cause severe and permanent damage.

Which means that if a baby is being born prematurely because they'll definitely die otherwise, they can be put "back" into a womb to finish growing. That could be incredible.

These lambs were born prematurely and put into these artificial wombs. The experiment is from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Every year 30 000 American babies are born prematurely at 26 weeks or younger and as soon as they take their first breath, their lungs stop developing and as a result they suffer long term health problems. Autopsies of these lambs later showed that their organs developed properly.

Just admire them from a distance and leave them be. Let’s just refurbish existing buildings and neighborhoods instead of bulldozing nature and building new further out.

biofacts don't necessarily come from killed animals. biofacts (biological artifacts) are used by many educational institutions to engage the public. At the zoo i volunteered at for 9 years, i was one of many biofact workers. We handled skins, skulls, bones, tracks, teeth, ivory, feathers, full mounts, etc. Some biological artifacts are on permanent loan from US fish and wildlife, some from donations, some from confiscations by Customs, and many from animals in the zoo that died of old age or illness.

Secondly, you have a never ending amount of comma splices AND run-on sentences… I suggest you refresh yourself on proper grammar rules and revisit your punctuation. Lastly, the f word is used far too much as a filler. I suggest using substitutions or completely omitting it, as the sentences would read just as well, if not better, without them. Otherwise, it’s only a rough draft, and I’m sure you’re aware of some obvious ways to improve it for your second draft. Good work for the first draft though!

You don't think the extinction of modern day animals is a catastrophic problem? Because that's exactly the type of issue this sort of research will be beneficial for.

Great Britain sent them to America, especially Virgina, too. France sent “nice” young women (voluntarily) to Quebec; and “bad” women and jailbird men to malarial Louisiana. In the next century, France would send its undesirables to even worse Guiana. One oddball theory holds that Brits were willing to emigrate because you can brew beer pretty much anywhere, while wine; good, drinkable wine, could only be produced in France. Life elsewhere was not worth living.

I think it’s social norms that vary from region to region and family to family. In Java, Indonesia. Hijabs are fairly common and other styles are a relatively rare sight on adults.

Every h.s. classroom needs to have windows or you'll have millions of tween/tween claustrophobics. There's no other way to build a big school or prison than like this so every room gets a window. Otherwise, you need more land & build separate buildings, separate entrances, more security staff & equipment [cameras, tape, monitors, computers to view & database room to store]. More land requires more gardeners, landscapers, lawnmowers & ppl to water lawns & pull weeds & worms, perhaps plant flowers, trees, bushes (& trim)...See why it's cheaper & more compact to build just 1 bldg?

That makes sense to me. I used to live in a flat where the bathroom had no window, and I was terrified the light-bulb would blow while I was in the bath, leaving me in pitch darkness. I lived alone and had no way to call for help. Sorry that's a bit off-topic, just thinking of rooms without windows,

Energy drinks can be dangerous. My coworker had a heart attack recently. When I asked his son, what happened he told me that he warned him that drinking 4 or 5 a day was dangerous.

Written on the can of Monster it says not to drink more than 2 a day and one can is 2 servings. Personal responsibility. Check the sugar substitutes in energy drinks. Monster uses ERYTHRITOL which can cause strokes. Red Bull is the safest if you drink them.

maybe he wanted to give your Grandfather the opportunity to shoot him, my Dad served in Guam during WW2 and he was so thankful that he didn't have to kill anyone, he said he didn't think he could if the opportunity arose. It's possible death was preferable to killing to the Japanese soldier.
