It would be a good thing. Only the downside is that a avocado farm uses a massive amount of water. Edit 1: It can also be heavenly regulated by cartels making it a lucrative criminal investment.

Wow, I got some forks made from cornstarch that I was surprised to discover were stronger than actual plastic. Though considering avocado seeds are basically a waste product of avocados, that sounds even better and potentially stronger than cornstarch! Less waste, less plastic... Win, win!
To learn more about how Unbelievable Facts came to be, we reached out to Gourav Gola, the founder of the website, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda. “My inspiration to start this page came from my passion for learning new things and sharing that knowledge with others,” Gourav said, noting that the full story of how the site began can be found right here. “Witnessing the growth and popularity of the page has been an incredible and humbling experience, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here.”
And when it comes to what he loves most about sharing these facts, Gourav says, “[It’s] that both my audience and I get to learn something new every day. This constant exchange of knowledge fosters a sense of community and mutual growth, making it a win-win for everyone involved.”

Those men can still be "good" men if they wanted to, there doesn't need to be the oppressive system that is religion to do good things. Why not open any number of types of helpful, nonprofit organizations that don't require a relinquishment of one's soul to receive help? Yet they stick with a for-profit organization built around the subjugation? Religion is a dangerous brainwashing, as history (and the present) prove.

We also asked the creator of Unbelievable Facts if he has any favorite fun facts he’s ever shared, and he noted that this one stands out as one of his favorites: “In 2011, after being lost at sea for 33 days, a man finally washed ashore in the Marshall Islands. He then discovered that his uncle, believed to have drowned at sea about 50 years earlier, had also wound up on the same island and started a family there.” UF recently published an article on this amazing story that you can find right here.
Gourav also shared that UF has a dedicated team that conducts thorough research to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information they share. “While we primarily rely on our team's efforts, we're always open to engaging with our followers and considering their submissions,” he added.

To hear more about why we should all be lifelong learners, we also reached out to fun fact expert and owner of The Fact Site, Luke Ward. First, we wanted to know what inspired Luke to start a site dedicated to facts. “I’ve always loved hearing and sharing random facts, and back in 2008, I was researching fun facts to tell during Christmas dinner, but there weren't really any websites devoted to facts,” he explained. “It was before the days of Facebook pages, and I decided to create The Fact Site so others wouldn’t have to struggle finding fun facts to share.”
We were also curious about what the best parts of running The Fact Site are for Luke. “What I love the most about sharing fun facts is that it’s endless!” he shared. “After 14 years of sharing facts, I’m continuously learning things I never thought I’d need to know, and I love it!”

"Ingested the bacteria" makes it sound quite sanitary. What he did was to prove that the ulcers were infective in nature, so he used a nasogastric tube to suck out the stomach juices of a patient who had ulcers, and drank those juices himself. He drank them warm (freshly sucked out) because the Helicobacter bacterium was really difficult to grow in the lab so he had to drink it quick to make sure they were still alive. He's an Australian physician, so that probably accounts for his 'sod the rules, I'm doing it my way' experimental style.
Kelli Blackwood 2 years ago
I'm grateful to him. I developed stomach ulcers as a teenager and by my 20s, I was suffering. My doctor was aware of a study being done to further prove his theory but I had missed the deadline to participate. She said, "We're going to do our own study!" and put me on the appropriate antibiotics. That was the last ulcer issue.

I like Jeffrey's version of the story much more than this! "At the restaurant I run there is a sandwich called the 'Alex Kintner Burger' and one time this lady came in with her friend and I recognised instantly it was my mother from the film. So I approached her table and said ‘Can I ask you a very personal question, if you think this is a little odd tell me to go away, but do you believe in reincarnation, because I think I died years ago and you look like my mother from a previous life’. And Lee realised who I was and so she went along with the joke and said ‘Oh my god, I had a son that died years ago in the ocean!’ And everyone in the restaurant, including her friend were just wondering what the hell was going on!"

You're also legally required to help someone in an emergency. All drivers must be trained in first aid and unlike in the US, you can't be sued for getting it wrong.

Still required, vehicle drivers on the left lane have to go as far left as they can, all other lanes have to go as far right as they can, moving their vehicle completely onto the emergency lane. Studies did reveal that emergency vehicles reach the place of accident much faster that way. Even with some drivers not getting the system and blocking the way. Because they do the same with the emergency lane when they try to get off the motorway and there is a jam at the off ramp.

If you’re interested in learning some fun facts about learning itself, Alicia Beharry wrote a piece for Skyprep detailing some of the most interesting things science has taught us about how we learn, one of which being that our emotions actually play a part in how well we learn. Research has shown that how we’re feeling has a substantial influence on our cognitive processes, particularly how well we can pay attention. So if you’re actually trying to learn something, it’s important to be in a good head space!

Ditte 2 years ago (edited)
Problem is due to genetic bottleneck, the cheetahs genetic diversity is very low. Meaning the species is no longer resilient to e.g. climate changes or other environmental changes. Because of this bottleneck, hundreds of thousands individuals only correspond to around 70 individuals. Because they are all bred from a very small genetic pool when it was about to go extinct. This means, that they are more vulnerable to go extinct than before basically. This is why diversity is very important.
AnkleByter 2 years ago
The problem in this particular area has/had absolutely nothing to do with genetic diversity and everything to do with humans causing them-intentionally I might add-to go functionally extinct in the area. Genetic diversity is a problem as a whole, but in India, this is actually the least of the cheetah's problems (and other large cats as well). India still doesn't have a hold on over-development and hunting. This is precisely why no other nation, except Namibia, was willing to assist them with repopulating some of these species. The, quite founded, fear is that India will not only allow but actually cause them to go functionally extinct in the area again. There have been countless stories, reports and large amounts of coverage of this particular act-and how very little faith anyone has in India in regards to not screwing this up (it's an almost certainty at this point, their track record, and even planning for this is abysmal).

Hey! 😜 They most certainly are NOT. Well maybe a little. Cute roly polys.
Some good news is that social interaction can actually be beneficial when it comes to learning. While some of us prefer to be in silent rooms all by ourselves when studying, research has found that it can also be helpful to learn information through social cues such as remembering words that someone else has said or emulating their actions. This is why you might prefer having an actual teacher or professor in front of you over staring at a screen and simply watching a video.
And while we may assume that flooding our brains with as much information as possible is the best way to retain something, this method doesn’t always pan out the way we’d like it to. Once we hit a point of “cognitive overload”, we can’t actually learn at all. So to avoid feeling overwhelmed, we can utilize quantitative or qualitative learning methods. Quantitative learning involves providing smaller amounts of new information and allowing learners to understand most of what they have already been presented before introducing more information. And qualitative learning entails mixing up presentation methods to keep learners from becoming overwhelmed or fatigued.

I'd like to know if this phenomenon is shared across climbers of different cultural backgrounds. I read somewhere that experiences of paranormal for most western cultures such as claims of ghostly visitations tend to be malicious, haunting and generally negative; whereas in most African and eastern cultures claim to experience in benign form, spirits of ancestors offering guidance and wisdom, missed loved ones coming to console and soothe etc. I find the contrast interesting

Scientists have also found that making mistakes is not only perfectly fine when learning, it’s actually essential. It can be difficult to resist the urge to try to be perfect all the time, but this mindset can be damaging when attempting to learn something new. We can’t be scared to fall off of our bicycles or too embarrassed to practice that foreign language we’ve been trying to learn with native speakers. Research has found that students are much more successful in their learning and performance when they are assured that failure is normal and to be expected. When we put too much pressure on ourselves, we actually inhibit our learning. But when we relax and understand that it’s not the end of the world to make mistakes, we do much better.

We’ve all been told that “practice makes perfect” when working on acquiring a new skill, but sometimes, too much practice, or at least too much of the same practice, loses its impact. Our brains crave novelty, and when we are presented with new ideas and experiences, they release dopamine. These feel good hormones are exactly what we need to gain motivation to learn and retain information, and once we actually do learn something new, we get to experience a nice, fuzzy rewarding feeling. So don’t be scared to mix up exactly how you like to learn!

Why do you assume it was not a rational decision?

The same principle is used in SCBAs in the military. Or at least used to be. A self contained breathing apparatus is sort of like a gas mask except the in/ out goes to / from a canister on your chest that is the chemical part. You pull a pin to ignite and the moisture / CO2 from your breath keeps it going. Can also be lit just by breathing but it takes a bit longer. I've worn them a few times for drills. They get pretty hot so when you take them out they get soaked in water. that's because usually when you take them out there are still some unused chemicals. Submarines have them too in a bigger canister thing as a back up oxygen supply.

In my culture people with autism or similar challenges were just described by family as "different" or "a little special" and were helped by the community to fit in, in some functional way.

No, believe it or not. lol That movie was based off a serial killer in CA and the PD trying to convince a woman that the boy returned to her was, in fact, her son despite her telling them he was not her child. It’s now believed her son was one of victims of the child killer in CA. 😔

But his real mother came forward and said that the boy was her missing son. She couldn't afford a lawyer to fight the Dunbars for custody and the courts found in favour of the Dunbars. Throughout the rest of her life the boys real mother was adamant he was her son and no one would listen to her. Seeing as the real Bobby Dunbar had only been missing for 8 months, it's hard to believe the real Dunbars didn't know that it wasn't Bobby. They were perhaps in denial and just so desperate to believe that their son had been found that they essentially stole someone else's son.

Seeing how they are treated when I have been out in public with them, makes me shocked- the nasty rumours (that have included me at one time where I was supposedly having an affair with one of them when I was in a different country in hospital fighting for my life!)

Wasting. Wasting!!! Have you people SEEN the artist biographies before or after they die?? None of the greats miss out on a living hell at some point in their careers. Why? Because they pop out and we’re like, “woah, so cool!” And we lift them up to a mountain but then… they stop being new, and shiny. We start rocking the mountain, making them feel unsafe on the top- they either fall to the abyss, regarded as trash, or they cling to the mountain and yell at us, or they find another mountain to be on.

You'd think Chan would consider giving Jaycee at least a generous inheritance, if not all this fortune. The children of wealthy people are raised differently than most of us and it's unrealistic to think they can suddenly adapt to an entirely different demographic.

That's because the way they do test screenings is ridiculous.

They should be able to account for that in the questionnaires though. For example: if the film is a rom com, you include questions like "do you like rom coms" and "what is your favourite movie genre". Then you can weight the responses accordingly.
