When the great pyramids were being built there was still woolly mammoths walking the earth.
There are more atoms of hydrogen in a molecule of water than there are stars in the whole solar system.
So, more than the 1 star in our solar system? Did you type that right?
Correct. I essentially said 2 is bigger than 1.
Ha! Good one, I only caught half of that joke.
You can double an hourly rate to approximate the annual wage. $30/hr ~= $60k / year.
Because 50 paid weeks * 40 paid hours = 2000 hours -> 2k
$30 * 2k = $60k
Sure, for people who work 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year. Ugh that sounds exhausting.
There is no thru line from mouth to urethra. You drink water, it gets absorbed into your blood, your urinary system filters excess water and waste, you pee it out. Your pee is filtered blood, the only thru line for water to take from your mouth is your ass. I understood that when it was taught, but I didn't really think about it...
Piss comes from blood!
Does the blood god accept pee? Your move, "science"!
Tell that to my body. Fluid goes in, fluid comes out. Explain that.
Everyone knows you jump in the pool in summer, smell the chlorine, and know the water is clean, right?
Fun fact- chlorine dissolved in pool water at the usual sanitation levels has almost no perceptible smell or taste.
HOWEVER, when chlorine binds with certain organic substances, especially ammonia (from the urea in sweat and urine), the result is chloramine which has a significant chlorine-y smell. Chloramine has essentially no disinfecting properties.
So when you go to the public pool and get a whiff of chlorine and think 'man they're using a lot of chlorine today', no, it probably means someone peed in the pool.
You're welcome :)
Ok, but why then when you open a bottle of bleach or container of chlorine pellets, does it smell like chlorine. Do they add the piss ahead of time?
take all but 1.5mL out of that gallon jug of household bleach, then fill it back up with water. that's roughly the concentration of chlorine in a swimming pool.
That's pure chlorine, much higher concentration. At the concentrations of pool chlorination there's essentially no smell.
The continents move at roughly the same speed that your fingernails grow.
That's fast! They must take their supplements!
Ketchup, or catsup, which is the same word latinized differently, was a fish sauce from China.
The western Europeans and American colonists used the recipe, and expanded it to things like mushrooms and many other ingredients. (for proof, look at the ketchup entry on wikipedia).
Tomato ketchup (which is specified on your bottle still today) wasn't invented until we realized that tomatoes weren't poisonous despite their color, and their sweetness and tang totally rocked with the ketchup recipe.
Now we use it to eat frenched fries, which aren't French! In fact, they are Belgian, and are named because they used a cooking technique invented by the French called "frenching" which has evolved into deep frying.
So, you are dipping your belgian potatoes into a chinese sauce that use a North American fruit as a base.
And with this information, you shall father nations!
And in the Philipines, ketchup refers to a banana ketchup, not a tomato ketchup.
Humans can’t feel wet, what we’re actually feeling is cold. It’s why when you have a cold patch on a blanket or carpet you can’t quite figure out if it’s wet or not.
It's actually an even greater level of abstraction: we feel the rate of heat flow through our skin. This is (kind-of) why plastic feels warmer than metal. Colder things don't feel colder because they are colder. Colder things feel colder because they more efficiently sap heat from our skin. Wet things feel colder because water and other highly conductive fluids which have wet the skin (and are thus in direct contact with it) are much more efficient in removing heat, thus feeling colder. This is the twofold reason why oil doesn't feel as cold as water: it has significantly worse heat conductivity, and it doesn't readily evaporate (as evaporation is a highly endothermic process, sapping heat even more efficiently than a conductive liquid on its own.)
If sound could travel through space, from the distance we are to it, the sun would be as loud as a jackhammer everywhere on the planet, all the time.

Useless knowledge.
When playing Mechwarrior 2 on a Windows 2000 system, make sure to change your video mode to 32bit color.
I'll throw in a useful tip too!
You can buy USB foot switches for your computer and assign keystrokes and other functions to them.
Almost feels like cheating when you are playing a tactical shooter and can lean left or right and strafe on demand without crossing any controls. Having microphone activation, map, inventory, or any number of misc actions boud to a foot pedal makes a huge difference in your ability to play a game.
The people who got anime to take off in the US are the same people who started the furry fandom.
The Superman symbol was based off of the symbol for a sci fi fan club.
Conventions, and sci fi as we know it, are because of one electronics magazine.
When Mount Vesuvius erupted, the heat of it turned a man's brain to glass.
Pigs can't look directly upwards. Neither can we, when standing on all fours. This is because ours and pigs necks are constructed in the same way.
And according to some weirdos on the internet who apparently know some concerning things from experience, human meat tastes the same as pig meat. Tastes like Pork. But now I'm curious why pork & ham & bacon are three distinctly different tastes & textures if they all come from pig.
Tolkein came up with the broad strokes of the simarillion and other parts of his legendarium decades before thinking about hobbits.
He also had an incredible saga involving Santa, a talking polar bear, and the North Pole that he made for his children in letters.
The gorgeous Lunar Moth exits the chrysilys fully formed, without a mouth or other structure for the intake of nutrients. It only exists to fly and breed at that point and expires around a week later.
Multiple species have evolved into crab body plans, and only a subset of "crabs" are actually true crabs. For example coconut crabs evolved from a hermit crab ancestor. King crabs too.
The tendency to adopt the crab meta for your species is called carcinization.
