Strictly speaking, it's an oblate spheroid and not a perfect sphere. It's wider around the equator than at the poles by about 26 miles. This means that relative to the center, Ecuador's Mount Chimborazo is actually higher than Mount Everest.

I know plenty useless things, and one that I can laugh about with history majors is about the jester Triboulet. He is one of the best jesters in my opinion. He slapped King Louis XII on the butt and defended his actions with "I thought you were the queen!" but still got in trouble and sentenced to death. They let him pick his death, and the jester said he wanted to die of old age and kept living XD

The logic behind this behaviour is also quite interesting. Carrying the young is more energy intensive and means you can have fewer babies overall (you aren't out inseminating other flat worms while pregnant). So individuals want to take the male role as many times as they can to pass on their genes as much as possible. However, all the penis fencing is exhausting and eventually, no matter how successful, every flatworm will lose a duel and become pregnant.

To number 3, as far as I understand it, women can on average name more shades, rather than physically see a wider range of colours. Culturally women are taught to discriminate between colours more (such as when selecting make-up). There are also a significant minority of men who are colour blind and drag the male average down.

one of the reasons male cats have spiked penises is to aid in a female's ovulation. Females do not ovulate before sexual intercourse. Instead, the barbs stimulate the female cat's vulva during intercourse, which causes her body to then release an egg. WHY DO IK THIS STUFF AAAAAAAGH

Until recent breeding methods vastly improved cows milk production, they would stop producing milk if you took their claves away. But if you left their claves with them, the claves would drink all the milk.

There are several methods to trick the cow into thinking they still have a calf, but the oldest method known to get around this natural mechanism was to blow air into the cow's anus or vagina. Today, we know this irritates their cervix and causes them to produce oxytocin (the hormone responsible for both cervical dilation and milk production), but 5,500 years ago, how the hell did people discover this?

Or, as suggested by somebody else (slightly graphic, may wanna skip this if you’re uncomfortable with this) keep one person, and drain their blood, keep them just barely alive, and repeat the cycle

Second post, kinda late, Dolphins will bother pufferfish so they inflate, and use them as balls.

Ummmm... Kinda missing the point. The toxin in pufferfish makes dolphins high. So dolphins have a much different purpose (porpoise??) than play.

being "gay" or "homosexual" isn't weird or abnormal. penguins, orcas, dolphins, and walruses, along with many other species have naturally gay populants. (sorry my English is broken today)

Adolf Hitler was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize in 1939. However, no one receved the Nobel Peace Prize that year. Surprisingly enough this happened on 19 total occasions, those years were 1914-1916, 1918, 1923, 1924, 1928, 1932, 1939-1943, 1948, 1955-1956, 1966-1967 and 1972

This one always boggles my mind. A teaspoon of matter from a neutron star weighs around a billion tonnes! I always imagined as a small child how people would be able to get the star stuff in order to weigh it, but of course now I know they use special calculations to find out :)

John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States, still has one living grandchild. John Tyler was born in 1790, was president from 1841-1845, and died in 1862. He had more children than any other president, in 1853 his son Lyon Gardiner Tyler was born, and Lyon had a son when he was 73 years old in 1928, that son is Harrison Ruffin Tyler, who as of right now is currently 92 years old.

So just to reiterate, John Tyler who was president 20 years before Abraham Lincoln has a living grandson in December of 2020.

This always blows my mind.

but what about the part where we change things, what happens then? Will it be no use since the past cannot be changed?

There is a sea creature that can regrow its brain. Even if you totally cut out the brain, it will grow back AND it is "immortal."

Some people believe if someone is "stupid" enough to fall for a stupid story, they deserve what they get". The fallacy of that belief is that they deserve what they get. NO ONE wants to get all they deserve, for all have regretted events in their past.

We gravely misrepresent the timeline of the Earth in our heads and school books. Hold out your arm and look at it. If the Earth forms at your shoulder, then the first single celled life begins at the middle of your forearm. The first multicellular life doesn't form until the base of your fingers. Dinosaurs? Well, just the top joint of your index finger. Humans are less than a hair width of the very top of your longest finger's nail.

Take a paper. Any colour. If you look at the paper for a while against a white wall and then quickly pull it away, you can see the negative colour of that colour for a split second. For example if you hold up a red paper and yank it away, you will see a green square instead of it on the wall.

Here’s another one: throw a mouse, dog, and elephant off a skyscraper onto a pile of mattresses. The mouse will land, be mad, and run off. The dog will break all of its bones and die (sad bow-wow noises). What does the elephant do? Explode. Yeah. The elephant will explode when it hits the ground.

Sorry for the second post, this was just really cool.

A test collected different types of owls and used an extremely sensitive microphone to hear the sound an owl made while flapping their wings.

The barn owl's didn't make any noise.

The U.S. Air Force controls the satellites for our personal device gps systems. They have to correct the time on the satellites on a regular basis because time is slower where the satellites are compared to the Earth's surface.
