Who doesn’t love a good random fact? Here’s one for you that I’ve learnt recently: A fluffy, weightless-looking cloud actually weighs around a million pounds. Since it's made out of water and air, it can accumulate quite a lot of mass—about the weight of 100 elephants. You wouldn’t think a cloud was this heavy when you’re soaring through it on a plane, would you?

More exciting facts about our world await you in the list below, courtesy of the “Factz.unheard” Instagram account. Scroll down to learn about the things you probably haven’t heard about before and make sure to upvote the ones that surprised you the most.

Sticking to the topic of clouds, we reached out to broadcast meteorologist Janice Davila, and meteorologist, atmospheric scientist, and owner of Makens Weather, Matt Makens, who kindly agreed to tell us more interesting facts about the atmosphere and weather!

Not anymore, The country’s Parliament passed a law requiring municipalities to round up stray dogs and put them into shelters, and permitting aggressive or ill animals to be euthanized. The law threatens mayors with prison time if they don’t enforce the law. Right now it's a free for all culling of cats and dogs in Turkey

From the looks of the machine though, humans have to put the bottles in. The holes are too far up for dogs to do it themselves. Pity getting them to clean up would be a great idea.

Over two decades, the research team has come across only five cases of adoption.

    BSc meteorologist Janice Davila tells Bored Panda that one of the most unknown facts from her field of expertise is that weather radars are slightly tilted upward in a half-degree (1/2°) angle. 

    “This means that when you or someone else opens a weather app only to see that it says it's raining, it actually means the radar is detecting the rain at 1/2 degree up rather than looking at the surface. If you're not seeing any rain, it's because it's evaporated by the time it passed the radar, reaching the surface,” she explains.

The man seen in the video is Dmytro (Dmitriy) Khaladzhi, a Ukranian sportsman, often described as "Champion of the first championship of the Ukrainian D**g-free Powerlifting Federation (in bench press) in 2009."

    Of course they did. Willingly engaging in corporate espionage is a huge crime. Also, what would Pepsi care about Coke's recipe? Not like they're going to change their own due to that. Chances are, they already had it to begin with. The Coke secret recipe is more of a myth than anything else. They've changed their recipe a few times over the years and current Coke bears absolutely no resemblance to the original Coke.

Yes, the attempted sale of commercially sensitive info happened, yes Pepsi shopped them and yes they went to jail (for longer than many rapists and killers but that's money for you). But it wasn't the secret recipe, just new product development, marketing, ads, business strategies and stuff.

    Both meteorologists believe that the average person should have more knowledge about the atmosphere and weather, mostly for their safety. “I highly recommend people knowing the basics about the weather, especially hazard safety when it comes to storms,” says Davila. “Due to climate change, storms are getting more aggressive, therefore people should be more aware of how to react during nocturnal tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, and anything else that may not be typical for their region.”

    Pinus Nigra - the Japanese black pine can reach a height of 100 feet, but in beach plantings, it is usually less than 20 feet tall. Its spreading, loosely swaying branches are orange-yellow in colour, and form an irregular silhouette. The blackish-gray bark is furrowed into irregular plates. https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=b83ae7c870d94983&q=black+pine

    It's not that scary. You see from any point the end of the tunnel. And it's wide, very wide. Not claustrophobic at all. More interesting is the artificial island - that in the picture - it's a so called noman's land, nobody's allowed on it, nobody's allowed even to stop on the road, to give nature the possibility to conquer it. But, somehow, some rabbits appeared there.

    “The lower atmosphere in particular has so many different conditions based on altitude yet the general public assumes its all relatively the same behavior no matter how high into the sky,” says Makens.

    “Much like a river flowing through the mountains, there's extreme turbulence, calmness, variable speeds and variable temperatures throughout that river and the atmosphere is the same way. This knowledge can better help people understand why they see certain clouds at certain levels, or how wildfire smoke is transported to their areas, or even give them some forecast sense of what weather is headed their way by what they are observing in the sky around them,” he stresses.

    To be fair, these ones with Pokemon are really not used for official purposes. Most people have plain ones. And while this practice is really cool, in real life it is impractical. I can tell you how scary it is if you lose your official one. Someone can takeover your bank account with one! Also during COVID, official documents for work and govt ground to a halt.

Several others are plastic and machine made. I use the cheap hankos for unimportant stuff, but for official government, bank stuff, etc., I have to use the wooden one.

    However, it’s not just the average person who might find some weather phenomena puzzling or surprising. These experts also admit being bewildered by some things that their scientific community hasn’t figured out yet.

    Davila for example, is trying to find out how migraines could be connected with the rise and fall in barometric pressure. While Makens is fascinated by El Niño and La Niña, whose driving forces can’t be exactly pinpointed thus far.

    The rabbit-proof fence stretches 3256 km (2023 miles) across Australia. It's actually three fences built at different times. Number 1 fence is 1834 km (1139 miles) long and built in 1901. Number 2 fence is 1166 km (724 miles) long, built in 1905. Number 3 is shorter still and runs east-west, instead of north-south like the other two. I'm not sure it keeps the rabbits out! The 2002 movie "Rabbit-Proof Fence" is about three indigenous girls escape from a settlement (think workhouse with the aim to assimilate indigenous children stolen from their families). The children endeavour to find their community by following the rabbit-proof fence). There's also a dingo fence. Lots of long fences criss-crossing Australia!

    Unfortunately Australian ecologists think that horses have the same fertility rate. Somehow they connect "has long ears, four legs, eats grass and is fast" with "gets 10 babies thrice a year" and conclude "too many horses" which equates to "put men with guns in helicopters, create a frantic stampede through a delicate ecosystem, leave dying horses, foals and premature ejected babies in that ecosystem". Apart from this insane cruelty, said system is poisoned by cadavers and trampled down, so no home for the - by this measure to be protected - native animals and plants. Plus, the descendants of the horses which made modern Australia possible, are punished for the actions of the lazy owners of the original horses, 200 years ago.

    Hardcore relate! I love his books, he's a great story teller... His imagination doesn't make him "weird" or "psychotic"!!! Neither does it mean that people who like his books are "weird" etc. It's his style of writing, the way he can narrate and describe so you feel you're there... Anyway, the sleeping with the lights on? I do. Small lamps with the options of high, medium, low level. After the past few years with various things that have happened to me? You probably would too!!!.... P.S? He's actually a really nice person! People who have been lucky enough to have met him? They've nothing but nice things to say about him 🙂

    This was danced around in Monkeybone. When Stu is in jail for stealing the exit pass, he's in a cell with other notable writers. Edgar Allen Poe and 'Steve' King exchange insults when 'Steve' asks about a nightlight. Stephen King (to the guard rat): How about that nightlight I asked you for? Edgar Allen Poe (to King): King You Pussy! Stephen King: Bite me Poe!

    This makes me feel better. I just turned 50 and I have night lights all over my house. If I need to get up for any reason, I need dark corners illuminated to make sure no one is there. Otherwise, I can't get out of bed at all. The fear overrides everything else--even the need to pee.

    According to Climate.gov, the two terms refer to warm and cool phases of a natural climate pattern across the tropical Pacific. “The pattern shifts back and forth irregularly every two to seven years, bringing predictable changes in ocean temperature and disrupting the normal wind and rainfall patterns across the tropics.," it writes. Since El Niño and La Niña don’t appear on a regular schedule, it challenges the meteorologists.

    They propel themselves out of the water and use their elongated fins to glide for a short distance. They don't fly any more than 'flying' squirrels, who stretch out the loose skin between the front and back legs to maximise the distance they can leap from tree-to-tree.

    The blue dragon (Glaucus atlanticus) is a nudibranch, a type of mollusk or sea slug, that lives on the surface of temperate and tropical oceans. Nearly an inch long (3cm), it primarily eats venomous siphonophores. Like most brightly colored creatures, it is venomous and will deliver a painful sting if touched.

    Whilst this is a generalisation, they have healthier lives and are more active. They have wonderful gentle exercise in the parks which would be fabulous in many other countries. Socialisation at that too helps reduce isolation which in turn reduces depression. In UK if we saw that we'd be insulting and derogatory despite how helpful it would be for so many.

    And almost 100% of it was once dinosaur pee. About 121,000 cubic miles of water go around the Earth every year through precipitation. During the Mesozoic era, dinosaurs reigned for around 186 million years, giving them much "time to drink a lot of water." It should also be noted that while most water molecules in an eight-ounce glass were never been consumed by another person, "almost every single molecule has been drunk by a dinosaur." Like humans, dinosaurs also released all water that they drunk, then they drink anew. This means humans who have only existed for 200,000 years ago are consuming most of these giant creatures' urine.

    Yeah, I’m aware; I have vivid dreams with like five different plots going on that somehow(?) interconnect? I woke up exhausted after being part of some sort of resistance group in a wizard’s tower/kid’s climbing attraction combo, sat on a very small fake moon with a man, a woman and a little girl that was somehow sewing for her life (I think she was infected??), some monsters trying to end us all, all of which occasionally switched to another ‘channel’ where a Minnie Mouse animatronic burst out of a weird staff door in a local shopping mall’s bathrooms to hunt people in said local shopping mall.

    The Ice Hotel (French: Hôtel de Glace) in Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, Quebec, Canada is the oldest ice hotel in North America. Quebec's ice hotel is recreated each year from scratch. Construction begins once the temperatures dip below freezing for one full week and there's at least a metre of packed snow on the ground. It takes six to seven weeks to build the 45,000 square-foot Hôtel de Glace each year.

    I'm so enthralled with tardigrades. Their ability to withstand extreme heat 304°F (151°C) and cold (just above absolute zero), ultraviolet radiation, and outer space makes them far more impressive than cockroaches/lol. The have the ability to dry-out (called tuns) by nearly stopping their metabolism, and reviving with improved conditions.

    I wish I had just the smallest bit of tardigrade power! I can't tolerate the heat, nor the cold, nor difficult conditions, and don't see a way to tuck myself in and wait it out in an unaware hibernation such as tuns. Such lucky little guys! Although I guess it wouldn't be easy for them to off themselves if the wanted to - not when they can survive most anything!

What I do know is that the “no money” part is definitely not true. Also, btw, I was there last year and the big golden dome in the picture was quite off-limits, other than for important people.

    Crystalized honey had been found in Egyptian tombs. All you have to do is heat it up until it melts and it is perfectly safe to eat. (As long as you don't believe in Mummys' curses.)

    Honey is a natural miracle! We need more bees and insects. My next door neighbour is horrified by my backyard because I don’t do anything at all with it. I told him I can forgive him making the front yard look “nice” because that reflects on property values but don’t talk to me about my backyard. It’s fricken weird. He and my other neighbour mow my front lawn in turns. Neither of them listen to me saying I WANT it to grow free and natural. Their perfectly manicured gardens are against nature.

    The amount of blood is roughly proportional to lean body mass, so women are generally smaller, so have less blood overall and have slightly higher fat levels, so higher weight per volume of blood.

    One of the campuses of the college I went to was next to an airport, and its cafeteria was catered by one of the companies that also handled an airline. The food was pretty bland at an altitude of 23 feet above sea level. ...but also I've read that studies have shown that the noise of a jet decreases our perception of taste. I think they just serve bland food because they might as well.

    At Gold Reef City (south of Johannesburg - it's a theme park and casino with a gold museum attached) they used to say that if you could lift a gold bar with one hand you could keep it. Now they use metal to show gold smelting but they make sure to tell the audience that it's not pure gold. (No prizes for guessing why.)

    To be clear, she arrived at a match in Poland and was above the 48 kg qualifying weight. She skipped rope and exercised for two hours to sweat out the extra weight. She didn't cut weight with laxatives and diuretics

    Not a secret. A lot of wrestlers do this, hers was just a bit extreme. It's pooping, peeing, and spitting. It's the power of laxatives and hard candy.

    I looked this up and yes, it's true: not only does one species create milk for its offspring, it really is highly nutritious. You can see the paper on the NIH here: doi.org/10.17179/excli2018-1437

    What does "three times more nutritious" even mean? 3 times more calories? 3 times more protein? 3 times more Calcium (doubtful in an invertibrate)
