One way to make life more fulfilling and exciting is to simply have an open mind. A lifelong curiosity and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge can let you reinvent yourself repeatedly. After all, there’s always something new you can learn, even though sometimes it may be hard to find the energy and motivation to keep going.

Thanks to the Facts by Guff Instagram account, we can receive our daily dose of knowledge by reading the completely random, unexpected, and unusual tidbits of information they share every day. Whether it’s enlightening their followers about goosebumps, baby elephants, or diamond rain, it certainly triggers a desire to know more.

Bored Panda has collected some of the best facts from the page, so continue scrolling and upvote the ones you might not have known about! Although just to warn you—once you get started, you’ll probably want to keep reading until your curiosity is satisfied.

Psst! Be sure to check our previous posts full of cool and interesting trivia right here, here, and here.

This Instagram account was created by Guff, a data-driven content company that aspires to enlighten people with daily trivia and wisdom. They have amassed more than 825K followers by sharing different bits of information every single day. Unexpected and fun facts seem to often catch people off guard in the best possible way, and many think that it's worth their time.

Staying curious and open to new ideas is not only enjoyable but also provides us with a dopamine rush. Whether it’s learning something new about history, science, art, or even modern pop culture, there are many benefits to keeping our brain cells active.

A study by researchers at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business has found that our brains are hungry and always willing to learn new details about the world. Researchers revealed that "new information acts on the brain’s dopamine-producing reward system in the same way as money or food."

"To the brain, information is its own reward, above and beyond whether it’s useful,” co-author of the study and associate professor Ming Hsu, Ph.D. told Neuroscience News. “And just as our brains like empty calories from junk food, they can overvalue information that makes us feel good but may not be useful—what some may call idle curiosity.”

However, knowledge usually becomes useful when it’s put into context. While many think that learning cool and interesting facts is a waste of time, it’s quite the opposite. Sure, you can find out everything you need with just a few searches and clicks on hyperlinks but it won't do any good to your critical thinking skills.

Scott H. Young, author of Ultralearning: Accelerate Your Career, Master Hard Skills and Outsmart the Competition, wrote that factual knowledge determines the speed you can acquire new knowledge on a topic. "The more you know, the faster you learn." It also is an important driver of our reading comprehension and other high-level skills, for example problem-solving. When you’re reading a book, it’s much easier to understand the deeper meaning if you’re already familiar with the topic.

Two Different Studies -- One By Medical Research Charity Harrison's Fund And The Other By Two Northeastern University Professors -- Concluded That Humans Get More Upset By Stories Of Dogs Being Beaten Up Or Hurt Than Humans Going Through The Same, And Are More Likely Donate To A Dog In Need Than A Human.

In Korea, dogs are mistreated before being slaughtered for Boknal, “dog eating days." The Koreans who do this believe the meat is better after the animal has suffered.

That's not true, animals suffer immensely at the hands of evil people, and those who are apathetic to pain and suffering of other sentient beings are as evil. This is very reason for violence and injustice toward other humans. There will be NO human rights WITHOUT animal rights!!! Period.

Because competition to survive within a species is always stronger than competion between species. Also we've bred dogs to press the "cute" neonate button in our brains that says must look after and protect. This is why dogs look cuter than human babies.

Because humans can understand what's going on, do stupid s**t all day erry day, suffer the consequences of their own actions, and can help themselves out of their circumstances. Generally speaking of course. Where as animals are generally innocent cause they're too dumb to be evil.

"You can’t reason critically or creatively without first having amassed a large amount of factual knowledge," Young explained. "This is why the existence of Google and Wikipedia doesn’t reduce the need to learn facts. Something being a Google search away doesn’t mean it’s available in the background to allow you to parse new information easily."

If you find yourself wanting to expand your mental horizons, the Wall Street Journal bestselling author suggested to simply be curious. By reading more articles and books, and by watching a variety of shows or movies, you always surround yourself with new knowledge. If it's hard to understand everything at first, don’t be discouraged and try to look it up.

🗳️ Brown Moved To Massachusetts And, With The Help Of Abolitionists, Went On Tour, Where He Recounted His Daring Escape To Spectators Who Also Thrilled To It As A Miracle Of The Modern Postal Delivery System. (Meanwhile, Abolitionist Frederick Douglass Openly Disapproved Of The Way Brown Divulged His Secrets, Believing It Would Make It Difficult For Another Enslaved Person To Succeed At Such A Plan, And History Appears To Have Judged Him Correct.)⁠
after The Fugitive Slave Act Was Passed In 1850, Brown Moved To Great Britain, Where He Remained For Several Decades Before Moving Back To The United States And Then To Toronto, Where He Died In 1897. ⁠

Young advised not to be afraid of topics that are new to you: "Knowledge is exponential, so if you’re not used to reading something, you’ll learn a bit less. However, as you read more about it, you can read faster and smarter." So picking up a book that might be "above your level" could take longer but will get easier with time.

Just remember, we are the ones using the newly learned facts and putting them into context. So if you’re wondering whether you’re ever going to use this stuff, one day you actually might. Sometimes, our brains are capable of the most wonderful things, and bringing two completely unrelated ideas into one is certainly one of them.

🌳 Norway Is The First Country In The World To Commit To No Longer Using Any Products That Contribute To Deforestation.⁠
that’s Pretty Remarkable, Because While During The Last Few Years A Number Of Companies Have Stopped Working With Goods That Can Be Linked To The Destruction Of Rain Forests, Such An Action Has Not Been Matched By Governments.⁠
a Little More Than Five Years Ago, At The United Nations Climate Summit 2014 Held In New York, The Norwegian Government Made A Pledge With Germany And The United Kingdom That It Would “Promote National Commitments That Encourage Deforestation-Free Supply Chains, Including Through Public Procurement Policies To Sustainably Source Commodities Such As Palm Oil, Soy, Beef And Timber.” ⁠
⁠
_____⁠
⁠
🇳🇴 In 2016, The Norwegian Government Made Good On That Promise By Officially Declaring That The Government’s Public Procurement Policy Will Become Deforestation-Free. In Other Words, The Norwegians Will Not Award Any Of Its Government Contracts To Companies That Take Part In Clear-Cutting.⁠
this Isn’t The First Time That Norway Has Put Into Practice “Speaking For The Trees.” The Act Of Banning Deforestation From The Supply Chain Only Continues The Country’s Long-Standing History Of Protecting The World’s Vital Forests.⁠

This is misleading. There is still deforestation here in Norway. What we have done is make supply chains deforestation-free. So e.g. no government contracts are awarded to companies that take part in deforestation. Still, a good measure! 🙂

👂🏾 Morgan Freeman In An Interview Said:⁠
⁠
"I Always Wanted An Earring. It Has To Do With My Attachment To The Sea. When I Was Around 35 I Was Separated From My Wife And She Said, 'I'm Going To Pierce Your Ear.' I'm An Avid Sailor, A Dyed-In-The-Wool Blue-Water Man. You Know Why Sailors Used To Wear A Gold Earring? It's Enough Money To Bury You In A Foreign Country. There Are Two Or Three Tricks To Being A Good Sailor. One Is Courage. You Have To Be Willing To Face The Sea. And The Rest Is Just Knowledge – You Can Learn A Lot By Listening To Other Sailors About How To Survive Almost Unsurvivable Situations."⁠
⁠
🏴‍☠️ "I've Been In Dangerous Storms. There Comes A Moment When You Think You May Not Get Through, And In That Moment There's A Peacefulness That Settles Over You And You're No Longer Afraid. That's Also The Moment When You Have To Say, "I'm Going To Face This Demon. I'm Going To Stand Up And I'm Going To Do What I Have To Do. Not Just By Lying Down And Letting The Sea Wash Over Me, But By Fighting It."⁠

True, so whatever you do don't think about how they feel when their new babies are taken away and placed in a field where they can still hear each other's cries. I live in the midst of cattle farms, and it's heartbreaking.

🚭 The Plans Include The Gradual Increase Of The Legal Smoking Age, Which Could Extend To A Ban On The Sale Of Cigarettes And Tobacco Products To Anyone Born After 2004, Making Smoking Effectively Illegal For That Generation.⁠
also Under Consideration Was A Significant Reduction In The Level Of Nicotine Allowed In Tobacco Products, Prohibiting Filters, Setting A Minimum Price For Tobacco, And Restricting The Locations Where Tobacco And Cigarettes Can Be Sold.⁠
“We Need A New Approach,” Associate Health Minister Dr Ayesha Verrall Said, Announcing The Changes. “About 4,500 New Zealanders Die Every Year From Tobacco, And We Need To Make Accelerated Progress To Be Able To Reach That Goal [of Smokefree 2025]. Business-As-Usual Without A Tobacco Control Program Won’t Get Us There.”⁠
⁠
_____⁠
⁠
🇳🇿 The Proposals Were Welcomed By A Number Of Public Health Organizations. “This Proposal Goes Beyond Assisting People To Quit,” Cancer Society Chief Executive Lucy Elwood Said In A Statement. She Noted That The Number Of Tobacco Retailers Was Four Times Higher In Low-Income Communities, Where Smoking Rates Were Highest.⁠
“These Glaring Inequities Are Why We Need To Protect Future Generations From The Harms Of Tobacco,” Elwood Said. “Tobacco Is The Most Harmful Consumer Product In History And Needs To Be Phased Out.”⁠
shane Kawenata Bradbrook, A Long- Term Advocate For Smoke-Free Māori Communities, Said:⁠
“For Too Long The Tobacco Industry Has Been Addicting Our People, Fleecing Them Of Their Money Before We Have To Bury Them In Urupa [burial Grounds] All Over This Land. I Am Looking Forward To Truly Making This A Sunset Industry In This Corner Of The World.”⁠

I'm always torn when it comes to things like this. On the one hand, I don't feel like the government should tell us "you can't do that because it isn't good for you". Your not my mom, back off. Sugar isn't good for me either. The last person I dated wasn't good for me. On the other hand, I'm all for the government telling us it's the law to wear a seatbelt, or that my doctor can't smoke crack before he operates on me. And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why I am not a politician. Glad I'm not the one who has to make the decisions on these kinds of things!

💰 The Question That Carpenter Seemed To Be Struggling On Was “Which Of These U.S. Presidents Appeared On The Television Series ‘Laugh-In’?” His Choices Were Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, And Gerald Ford.⁠
“Um,” Carpenter Said. “I’d Like To Call My Parents Right Now, Use My Lifeline.”⁠
⁠
💸 The Show Called His Father And Philbin Explained The Situation To Carpenter’s Dad. But, When Carpenter Got On The Line, He Didn’t Actually Ask His Dad For Help.⁠
“Hi, Dad,” Carpenter Said. “I Don’t Really Need Your Help. I Just Wanted To Let You Know That I’m Gonna Win The Million Dollars. The U.S. President Who Appeared On ‘Laugh-In’ Was Richard Nixon, That’s My Final Answer.”⁠

😲 The Face Spoke At More Length With Angelina Jolie About The Incident And Why She Felt Compelled To Hire A Hitman To Carry Out Her Death. “They’re Not That Hard To Find In New York,” She Responded. “As Insane As It Sounds, I Think A Lot Of People Consider Suicide When They’re Young,” Jolie Admitted.⁠
“I Was Very Aware That So Many People Around Me, Like My Mother, Would Feel As Though They Didn’t Give Enough Or Do Enough, If I’d Taken My Own Life,” Jolie Continued. “So My Solution To That Was If Someone Else Had Taken My Life – Like In A ‘Robbery’ – Then It Would Be Murder And It Wouldn’t Be That Anyone Would Feel They’d Let Me Down.”⁠
⁠
_____⁠
⁠
🧐 Jolie Even Got As Far As Hiring The Contract Killer And Planned To “Take Out Cash Over A Certain Amount Of Time, So There Wasn’t A Big Chunk In My Bank Account” To The Killer. However, Remarkably, It Wasn’t Jolie Who Had A Change Of Heart, But The Hitman Persuaded Her To Carry On Living.⁠
“He Was A Decent Enough Person And Asked If I Could Think About It And Call Him Again In Two Months,” She Explained. “Something Changed In My Life And I Figured I’d Stick It Out.”⁠
as Bizarre As It Sounds, We’ve Got A Hitman With A Conscience To Thank For Jolie Being Here Today. Her Mental Health Troubles Didn’t End That Day, Jolie Would Suffer A Nervous Breakdown At 24, But Once She Had Her First Child, She Got That Stability In Her Life That She Always Craved.⁠
