“Now That’s Gonna Be Stuck In My Head”: 45 Worthless Bits Of Trivia Or Knowledge Shared By Our Community

Sometimes we don't realize how big the storage of our brains is. We might forget some facts or happenings now and then, but it's only natural when considering we have to digest new information every day! However, some snippets of knowledge appear to be unforgettable so that even the most random and useless thing might be stuck in your brain forever.

So, I got curious about what worthless bit of trivia or knowledge is forever stuck in our pandas' heads! Here's what people had to share.

"Now That's Gonna Be Stuck In My Head": 45 Worthless Bits Of Trivia Or Knowledge Shared By Our Community A proper one this time. Pineapple 'eats' you as you eat it. Pineapple contains a chemical called Bromelain that deconstructs (and will eventually dissolve) proteins, including human tissue. So if you're wondering why it tingles on your tongue now you know (thankfully our stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve concrete so takes care of Mr Pineapple)

Some words are contranyms, meaning a word that has two different meanings that are the opposite of each other.

The three examples I know are:
Cleave (can mean either to cling to or to separate from)
Left (can be used to refer to the part of a group that departed or the part that stayed. "Three sheep left the flock, how many were left?")
Off (can mean either to activate or to deactivate. "The alarm went off, so I turned it off.")

Many years ago, when wood was in short supply it was a common practice to dig up and reuse coffins.

Quite often the grave diggers would see scratch marks on the underside of the coffin lid, left there by someone who was buried but still alive!

This happened so often, in fact, that all newly buried people had a length of string tied to their finger, leading all the way aboveground where it was tied to a bell.

When someone buried alive would move their hand trying to desperately claw their way out, the bell would ring aboveground.

Those people were called "Dead Ringers".

The men hired to listen for the bells during the night were known to be working the "graveyard shift".

Not trivia, just a Spanish word my nutty, Mexican friend from college made me learn, for some weird reason. It's the word for "ear, nose and throat" - otorrinolaringologo. I've found myself repeating it over and over in my head whenever I'm in a lot of pain, especially with migraines. I don't do it intentionally, it just happens. Thanks for the subconscious coping mechanism, Hermès!

The bit of trivia I know is that the velocity of a liquid flowing through a a narrow tube (such as a blood vessel or a catheter) is directly proportional to the pressure of the liquid and the fourth power of the radius of the tube and is inversely proportional to the viscosity of the liquid and the length of the tube.

The compound that makes lightning bugs glow is called luciferin. Etymology of the word is from the Latin lucifer which means light bearing.

Was there even ONE actually NEW "fact" on this list? I didn't have to read more than five words on each one to recognize it. Even the personal "facts" (which... why are those even included? WHO CARES???) aren't new. This is boring. Fitting, I guess. Grrrrr.

I turned my head full of trivia into cash on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?' during its first season. It's on YouTube. Look up "Stan Flouride" and it's your first hit.

My entire brain is full of useless knowledge. I was blessed with a phenomenal memory, so I can tell you the name of every kid I was in class with in alphabetical order. I can tell you the names, addresses, telephone numbers and birthdays of people I haven't seen in 50 years. I can recite poems ad nauseam. I literally could entertain people all day long with the useless crud my brain is full of.

That you aren't supposed to give any honey to a baby, because it contains small amounts of botulism in it, but small enough that it won't affect children or adults. Botulism is a toxin that can cause muscle paralysis and maybe even death. They also use botulism for Botox injections, so it will permanently relax your muscles and erase wrinkles.

I have a ton of useless trivia knowledge, but anytime anyone asks me to just name one at random, I can't think of any. Makes me good at trivial pursuit, but bad at conversation.
