Let’s get right to the point: we love facts. We think that when you know more about the world, it’s easier to understand how it works and how your actions affect it. And we especially love random facts — those little nuggets of knowledge that come up in conversation, and the immediate reaction they spark is, “Wait, what?”

We’ve been on a mission to dig up the most bizarre, surprising, and interesting facts and things you didn’t know (probably). We’re not going to give you a full history lesson or tell you about the origins of things — these are just fun facts that have nothing but random educational value! And if you’re anything like us, once you learn these fascinating bits of trivia, you’ll want to share them with everyone else. Like, did you know that the inventor of frisbee golf was literally turned into a frisbee after his death? Yeah, crazy.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite cool facts for you here. They’re like a little gift to your brain and provide an excuse to share a tidbit of knowledge that would otherwise be lost. They’re also an excellent way to break the ice when you meet someone new — especially if they’re as nerdy as you are! Some are science-y, some are history-y, and some are just plain fun. But all of them are interesting and totally random in their own unique way!

    Oh, the Animal Planet thing. Yeah, that was a low point for the channel and the country's collective intelligence. Admittedly, those two mermaid films were a master class in the tactics bad actors and conspiracy theorists use to try to make you believe them. The jargony words, the dude in the shadows with the voice changer to 'hide his identity,' the use of actual science at the beginning to ease you in, the explanations that seemed just plausible enough until you remembered it was baloney.

I know this for sure because I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk in Mexican and he just lay there, watching cartoons (Ren & Stimpy, if you're interested). I asked him again in English and he said 'No thanks. I'm watching cartoons'.

    I guess it's supposed to be "the hottest spot to live in"? Pretty sure you can have a lava spot somewhere that would be hotter? I feel like this list is super vague

    But usually there is a little air flow from the one "not working". I have chronic rhinitis and only have air flow from 1 all the time. It is a pain in the behind!

    That's spectacularly vague. It's like saying that a man once lived who was as tall as... well... somewhere between a large pea and a spaceship. Also, as I write this, this entry has amassed 10 points. I need to meet the 10 Pandas who entered this thread with such low expectations that they upvoted this! Good grief. I'm going for a lie down.

    This study indicates no such thing. What it does indicate is that garlic possibly attracts leeches.
