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!

My initial thought was "What the hell are they going to do about it?", but I also don't know enough about trees other than they can't bloody run away and they help me breathe
Plants defend themselves with chemicals. E.g. lot of what makes herbs taste good to us makes them less palatable to insects. Some plants emit certain substances when they are strongly damaged and other plants can react to that. I wouldn't consider that actual communication, though - the emitted substance might just be accidental, or help with the healing. I mean, you wouldn't call it a secret signal if one animal sheds blood and another animal sees it and is extra cautious of predators.

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.
Luckily the suits were made of enough fabric to prevent an accidental "mooning"
i told you! : ) maybe, it has to do with the size of the place, number of people in them, not the walmart itself
