“Did You Know?”: 30 Interesting Facts About The World You Probably Didn’t Learn At School

No Republicans were involved.

Me too

Not at all. Every disabled ramp needs a proper railing. Imagine being on a wheelchair and navigating through that? This only seems fun if you're able to walk. Not to forget it doesn't look like it's the right ratio at all... Too steep for wheelchairs.

And dangerous too. One has to be careful when walking down the steps.

And also visually appealing!

Until it snows. that won't clear easily.

Yes, and they remembered the disabled! 🙂❤️♿

Agreed. I love it. Totally unobtrusive.

Except for the fact that you gotta drift for those turns loool

It looks like it’ll make someone trip

Yes that's right

I suppose it is a bit steep but at least someone had the idea and this may be beta test1.0 . Most of the time I like to look on the bright side.

Unless you are a Kardashian :D

You can get cremated and put in a biodegradable urn with a tree seed in so a tree grows on your grave

I dunno, maybe I do want my bones to be found someday by archeologists in the future.? 1000 years from now they look at the items I was buried with and remark: “ we have evidence of a white cloth stitched animal in the artifacts of this tomb that were remarkable. It is white, appears to have feline features but doesn’t have a mouth ! There is remnants of a tag attached saying what we have deciphered in ancient English to read Hello Kitty. Was this a mating ritual ? Was this to celebrate some important event? We aren’t sure exactly the significance of it but we have come across this before. We do believe this must be some type of religion. We believe that early 21st century man worshipped an animal without a mouth . Did Hello Kitty communicate with man telepathically to man? However, our main consensus based on all of the other artifacts we have found, is that ancient man was visited by aliens. And this Hello Kitty was an alien god that was worshipped. Yup I see it now lol

Just lay me out in the forest and let nature take its course.

Already made plans to be "donated" (sold) and the ashes returned to my children. I'll be the third in my family circle so far if everything goes smoothly.

To be fair you'll not be too bothered when dead

Plus it's the much more environmentally friendly version. I would want this or to be donated to a body farm, cos that sounds very interesting

now check out Zoroastrian sky burials

I havemade itknown when i die just dig a hole or put me in the ocean

You know cremation is pretty hard on the environment. I'm really interested in things like mushrooms! Time for our silly species to wise up!

Please don't be cremated. It's a huge waste of energy and produces greenhouse gasses. Humans don't burn as much as evaporate.

I'm with the Orthodox Jews on this - plain wooden box planted in 24 hours. No embalming and all that stuff. Not cremated because I'm terrified of fire.

I want to be shark food

Don't worry earth will eventually get destroyed over billions of years

Never get buried with a fungus. They take up too mushroom.

Finay someone who realizes the danger of this thing

Same here. If possible I'd like a tree to mark my grave instead of a tombstone. Maybe some simple signage to help visitors know it's my tree, but other than that just stick me right in the ground after the funeral. I feel like contributing to the growth of new life is more meaningful to me than being preserved for preservation's sake.

My great aunt's "headstone" is actually a bench to sit on in the cemetery

Searched for weeks for an old cemetery only to learn, circa 1950s, Headstones were plowed up and used as filler for a flood channel. Modern ones are regularly destroyed by groundskeepers. Better idea: Arbor Day will plant 10 trees in a fire ravaged forest for about $20. There will be a certificate for you.

That’s the thing about when a baby/toddler/child needs a donor. A child’s life was saved, but another was given up in the process. I can’t imagine what that must be like for the parents.

The donor is actually dead already and his family members willingly donated the heart.

Me too. On a less important note, I also don't envy anyone who had to go through two heart surgeries 13 days apart, or their parents.
