A black man in St. Louis is more likely to be killed by a police officer than the average US citizen is to get murdered at all.

Whether you think BLM is a bunch of horse s**t or not, Republican or Democrat, or whatever, this stat is pretty interesting. Mind you, a subset of the US population probably doesn't even believe that statistic is true.

Hold up your hands and clap them together.

Wait one second, then do it again.

If you could plot the distance between the first clap and the second clap, it would be more than 800 kilometers.

This is because the Earth is moving around the sun, the sun is moving around the center of the galaxy, the galaxy is moving through the Virgo Supercluster, and the Virgo Supercluster is barreling through the universe. When you add up all the velocities and compare the result to the cosmic microwave background (which is the closest thing we have to a universal frame of reference), it comes out to about 800 kilometers per second.

In the time it took you to read this, you've traveled farther than you'll ever walk in your life.

The tallest giraffe ever measured (George) was 19 feet (5.8m) tall.

The longest crocodile ever measured (Lolong) was 20.25 feet (6.17m) long

So take the tallest giraffe you've ever seen, and then add a little, and you've got the biggest crocodile ever measured reliably with a tape measure down its back.

Herpetologists agree that sightings of crocodiles up to 23 feet are not unreasonable, but they're very hard to capture when they're that big. Therefore, no absolutely reliable numbers.

Sharks are older than trees. Sharks are at least 400 million years old, trees are sitting at 350 million years.

Edit: Also another fun fact, sharks are so successful when it comes to evolution and long term survival because of a trait called "Adaptive Radiation", which is a huge increase of species diversity in a short period of time. Modern sharks stem from an adaptive radiation that happened during the Jurassic Period about 200 million years ago. One of the newest modern sharks is the hammerhead, coming in at around 50 million years.

The immediate effects of the famine saw a great many people [perished] from starvation or disease and others emigrate to avoid the same fate.

It's only in the last 50 years that the population has started to grow again.

To the detriment of smaller Mom and Pop stores. Walmart isn’t all that great to shop at either. There prices are often only a couple Pennie’s different from other stores, they can be very stingy when it comes to accepting coupons, and they really don’t have such great specials anymore. Plus, since lockdown, their shelves are sparsely stocked, with certain items completely unavailable for months. I vary my grocery shopping now, only using Walmart for certain basic items, and going to other nearby stores for items that are better quality, as well as better value, than at Walmart (for example, Walmart’s steaks taste like they’ve been pickled or have had some kind of bad tasting additives put on them).

I live about 1.5 miles away from one. By car it would take me 6 minutes to get there. The average human has a walk speed of 3 miles per hour so it shouldnt take more than 30 minutes to walk there in theory, but there are streets, houses, and fences in the way. So walking would take at least 45 minutes . The take into account that most American households buy food 2 weeks at a time, not likely a person on foot can easily carry that. And who has time to walk 1 and a half hours every few days to get groceries.

Cosmetic surgery - South Korea:

South Korean women, the most obsessed with cosmetic surgery, are among the world's women. Statistics show that one out of five women in South Korea has at least one cosmetic surgery, four times higher than women in the United States. As a result, South Korea's cosmetic surgeons have gained a reputation for driving around 7.5 million people to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, for cosmetic surgery.

The reason for this is, VERY simply put, that Jewish people were excluded from (mostly Christian) society in many European countries (long before WWII) in that they weren't allowed to do lots of professions. Jobs related to money (banking) were allowed though as Christians didn't want to do them. So these were the obvious choice for many Jews. Please keep this in mind next time someone uses the hideous "greedy / money obsessed Jew" stereotype.

I read somewhere (yeah, that sounds reliable, I know) that poverty can make your IQ drop by several points. Probably because constant fear and anxiety kind of occupy your mind enough.

If you were to take the smallest cylinder of air completely surrounding the Eiffel Tower, the air itself would have more mass than the rest of the Tower.

Edit: Due to buoyant forces, it wouldn't exactly weigh more on Earth. However, it still has more mass. Also clarified the size of the cylinder.

This is a bit technical, but let's say a test is given to detect HIV in a sample where 1% of the population has HIV. Let's say that 90% of those that got a positive result actually had HIV and 90% of those that got a negative result didn't have it. The cool part is that, with these statistics, if you took the test and were given a positive result, you would only have an 8.33% chance of actually having HIV! I'd explain the math but this is already long enough. This probably isn't that interesting to most but learning this in statistics blew my mind.

The coolest part with statistics is that you can use them without any relationship with reality. If you have a positive test to HIV, you most probably have HIV. Those tests have become pretty reliable.
