For a few months, we have been collecting the strangest and most interesting facts we could find and turning them into cool drawings that we post on our Instagram. We have over 150 drawing ideas and counting now!
In our quest for strange facts, we came across all kinds of topics including nature, culture, climate, history, and technology. And we have discovered things we didn’t know about farts, selfies, pizzas, sweat, Ikea, Nutella, and even sex toys.
Here are 69 of our coolest facts! We hope they’ll intrigue you as much as they intrigued us. You can also visit our Instagram for more of these enlightening funny drawings!

Leafcutter ants. They also developed rudimentary vaccination. Amazing creatures.
It's eight limbs, the type of limbs on an octopus are called arms. Some sources refer to two of them as "legs" as they are known to chose two arms for floor locomotion They are not, scientifically speaking, legs in any way. Octopuses have eight arms.
This was actually very, very common in Rome too. Many people had no way to cook at home in their cramped living quarters and bought food from street vendors instead.
A teacher of mine mentioned that all (dont know if this is 100% true) preys have their eyes on the side of their faces to spot predators while predators have them facing forward to focus on their prey better. Hence why nearly all preys can see approximately 360 degrees around due to the position of their eyes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, this is the only thing I remember from elementary school.
But we have a high tolerance for hot water! When you turn on a faucet, which one do you turn on? Lefties will turn on hot first.
That's actually quite interesting, I find some of female voices from movies from 40s, 50s unpleasantly high.
I remember the first time I saw the old Snow White & the Seven Dwarves as an adult. Her voice was so annoying!

Try testing Brazil´s ex president: Dilma Roussef. Deeper than any human being ever!
I find it really annoying when a grown a*s woman talks like she's a little girl. You hear it all the time: in movies, in public, on the phone. It sounds so fake.
Why didn’t my singing improve also. Family and friends would love to know that one.
Thank God! Women in the past use to be annoying. Mimicking children voices
Not mimicking! Normal pitch. Rather the deep voice is mimicking - higher gender equality means deeper voices in women. Sweden and Norway for example

Wait, what? Humans are extremely social creatures that adapt their behavior to others around them. It is COMPLETELY possible that women used to adjust their voice to sound more feminine but don't bother anymore. In fact, I'm pretty certain that I read somewhere that in some Asian countries, there is still a large difference in the pitch of men and women. And you can measure it, there are many recordings of voices from the last century...

Luckily the suits were made of enough fabric to prevent an accidental "mooning"

These "facts" need documentation. Seems like a bit of BS without it.
