The page Facts For Genius has a whopping one million followers and posts daily interesting facts for its followers. One of the people behind the page tells Bored Panda that it's actually a three-person project. The creators also have big plans to expand to other social media platforms. They didn't reveal any specific plans yet, but their format of bite-sized pieces of useful and interesting information would definitely do well on TikTok!

The creators think that the best aspect of their page is that people can learn something new in a fun way. "Our audience gains exposure to a wealth of unique information that extends beyond conventional learning offered in schools," they told Bored Panda. "This includes fascinating and amusing details and unusual facts, elevating their knowledge through an entertaining approach."

They also shared one fact they found especially captivating through their years as curators of this page. In 1963, 16-year-old Bruce McAllister mailed letters to 150 authors to prove to his English teacher that there was no conscious symbolism in their works. 75 writers responded, among whom were Jack Kerouac ("No."), Isaac Asimov ("Heavens, no!"), Ray Bradbury ("The best symbolism is always unsuspected and natural."), and Ayn Rand ("Your questions do not make sense.").

    I appreciate this post calls it Ram Sethu bridge! The underground bridge has been known by Indians for centuries as the bridge built by Lord Ram to save his wife sita who was kidnapped. The bridge was contested for many years until it was proven it existed. On Google maps it is called 'Adam's bridge' though the indigenous name is "Ram Sethu" so it really should be changed.

    We like to learn facts, especially when they're about cute animals, our health, or our everyday lives. These bite-sized snippets of information come from research and scientific studies. For example, I honestly wanted to believe the TikToks that swore rosemary oil/water would help my hair start growing faster. They even said it's 'scientifically proven!' 

    However, even if you read something in a 'scientific study,' it doesn't automatically make it an undeniable truth. Those of us who are not researchers might think that there's a good checks and balances system in the scientific publishing world. But the reality is not as black and white as we'd like to imagine.

    I googled and this is true but it only seems to be twice a day for 5 minutes at 10.30am and 2.30pm. It was three times in 2019 when it was limited to some schools in Kerala, but they are reintroducing it this year (2024) across the state. They've been experiencing 38-42C (100-107F) degree temperatures recently.

    When I was a kid, we got a milk break each morning and afternoon. You only got milk if you paid a nickel for it. You could get whole or chocolate. The janitor would deliver the pallets of milk about an hour before the break, and the little cartons would sit in the corner getting warm.

    hmm.. marriage #1 - reasonable cost, lasted 10 years. Marriage #2 - married at city hall on our lunch hour one summer afternoon - lasted 24 years and still going strong. Weddings today seem to be much more about display and social media than the union of 2 hearts.

    In 2014, the blogger behind the chemistry site Compound Interest, Andy Brunning, created a pretty comprehensive chart that lists some flaws that might help to spot 'bad science.' He mentions 12 points that might help evaluate whether that science news article you just read is for real or might be bogus.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The first thing we can do, according to him, is look at the headlines. Articles with titles that seem sensationalized or clickbaity should immediately raise suspicion. News articles sometimes might misrepresent the findings of scientific research. Brunning recommends checking out the scientific article and not always trusting the news article blindly.

    I can’t see a zip. How do you take it off the dummy and put it on a human? What about the risk of paper cuts? Why would someone wear a paper wedding dress? Would you wear a giant roll of tape as a garter in case it gets torn? Wouldn’t a dress made of paper be risky in case it rains? Wouldn’t a dress made from divorce papers be unlucky? I have so many questions but strangely I don’t give a f**k about the answers because I would never wear a paper dress. Mainly because of the paper cuts thing.

    It's a fashion class project. It's a project for school, not a dress to be worn. It's a statement on her perspective of the institution of marriage.

    I think this may be true DEPENDING on the person and lifestyle. There are people who sweats a lot. Also if you work making physical labor or in a very hot place you may need to shower daily. Also it makes sense that if you shower daily you need to take care of your skin and hidratate it more.

    What does this even mean? There is in fact no "need" to shower at all. About the only slightly useful in the statement would be that if shower too much you might get irritated and cracked skin. But that is going to depend entirely on the person's body and environment.

    In some cases, companies employ scientists to carry out studies or invest in their research and development. It's always useful to check if there's no conflict of interest between the researchers and the investors, as the results might get misrepresented for personal or financial gain.

    I read somewhere that more intelligent people better remember the substance than less intelligent, but are more forgetful about the exact details. Like they remember the gist of a conversation and even the finer points, but not necessarily when or where it was had, sometimes not even with whom.

    I have a friend that had terrible skin- acne, and pustules all over her face. She asked me once how my skin is so good. I told her I go to bed early and cry. I was telling the truth (I cry a lot) but I said it like a joke. She told me she never cries and she would try that. Her skin cleared up within a year.

    I've found this. I've had a few proper breakdowns over the last few years, and each time, after sobbing, I felt....lighter. Now, I allow myself to cry from time to time. Had a cry at the weekend after an episode of Bluey.

    Is there still anyone left in 2024 that says crying is bad and we have to keep all feelings inside ? What you keep inside your body will find a way to express it. Pain, disease whatever. I don't find any english word for french "somatiser"' that means physical manifestation of your psychological issues.

    Crying actually releases the stress hormone, it is excreted in your tears so cry away (side note apparently female tears when smelled by males reduces their aggression)

    I think some people might be confusing this actual condition with a dislike for certain things. People with this condition actually get angry, very angry in most cases. It's not that they just don't like certain sounds, it's that the sounds trigger actual anger, which then spills into other areas. You can very much dislike these sounds and not get angered by them. A lot of people dislike the sounds, some immensely, but very few actually get angered by them. I don't know why anyone would feel this is insulting, it really just is a fact. not a judgment of those who actually have the condition. There's nothing wrong with being annoyed by certain sounds, or disliking them (to any degree). But the actual condition itself, poses massive problems for people who have it, and those around them. It negatively affects many areas in their lives, some to a very extreme degree. It's really not the same as just not liking or being annoyed by certain sounds, it's much more than that.

    In addition to triggering anger, it can trigger horrendous anxiety, due to the inability to escape from the sound.

    Now let's get into the more technical side of the studies. Brunning points out that research where the sample size is bigger tends to "give more representative results." What's more, the sample of participants should represent a bigger portion of the population. There should also be a control group – a number of participants that do not receive a substance, treatment, etc.

    Then we have to think about the reporting of the results. Good research shouldn't cherry-pick results to support a hypothesis. So the scientists should include all results, even if they don't support the claims they made before conducting the research. Other researchers should also be able to replicate the same results. If there is something only one lab has discovered and no one has been able to replicate it since – something might be fishy there.

    Some of us might have seen the phrase 'peer-reviewed' when we've checked scientific articles. When a study is peer-reviewed, it means that other scientists have reviewed and critiqued it. And while such articles can be more trustworthy and of higher quality, the process isn't perfect and this fact doesn't make the research irrefutable.

    No it goes by your own metabolism. If your personal metabolism is set at let's say 2000 Cal/day to maintain your weight then you can eat up to 2k calories a day it doesn't matter what you eat as far as weight. Obvs if you ate 2k of only butter every day you will be deficient in some needed essential vitamins and minerals though you could just take a multivitamin for it, but you won't gain weight as long as you stay within your metabolism rate

    We have best friends for each ear of our life. I had a school best friend, a teenage years best friend, a student graduation best friend and even as an adult i can have different best friends but for a long span of years.

    True. My first best friend drifted apart from me (easy to do when she has a life with a job, husband, and kids, and I have nothing but a disability that's robbed me of all that). My second best friend betrayed me and stabbed me in the back, publicly, at our work place. My latest best friend? We'll see - 16 years strong, so far.

She also explained in more detail how peer-reviewed studies work and how we as consumers (of media and products) can spot bad science.

    »Petrichor« is the smell of rain (on dry earth)...the word is composed of ancient Greek »πέτρα« (pétrā) → rock, piece of rock, or »πέτρος« (pétros) → stone, and »ἰχώρ« (īchṓr) → blood of the gods...🌧️ 🪨 🩸

    AnkleByter

    1 year ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Yes, ANY exercise can do this, but exercise done along with music has a greater impact because it engages other areas of the brain that movement alone does not. Although they say dancing, even just walking to music is better than just walking. Any sounds will help engage other areas of the brain, but music often triggers our happy brains (totally a scientific term, I swear) and that increases our subconscious involvement in the activity :D So, yes, dancing does work better than "any exercise" to improve brain function and help reduce the risk of dementia (and it has way more health benefits as well just because of how we use our brains during that particular activity).

    Wong points out some problems with peer-reviewed studies in one of her videos. Not all topics get much attention in the science world. Papers published in fields such as epidemiology, genetics, climate change, or artificial intelligence get the most attention nowadays. Naturally, there's less scrutiny for less popular topics. Not a lot of scientists are discussing and critiquing the studies in less popular fields; thus, that research can be less reliable.

    And when serotonin levels drop, people have the urge to eat junk carbs to replenish that serotonin. But the junk carbs causes a glucose spike, which then causes a rush of insulin, which then causes a glucose drop, thus making one sad and anxious again. It is a cycle one need to break by eating mostly vegetables.

    The other problem is that peer reviewing is voluntary, unrewarding work. Scientists don't get paid for reviewing (especially reviewing well) new research. It's anonymous and variable, Wong points out, so the quality can vary. Sometimes peer reviewers might not read the paper as closely if they know it might not get a lot of attention in the future.

    Lastly, peer reviewers aren't safe from personal bias. When a paper has a well-known author or one that comes from a prestigious institution, peer reviewers might not give it much scrutiny. "It's actually a really well-known hack for getting papers published quickly with minimal revisions – just stick a well-known author on there," Wong explains.

    I like to do two things. Stud an orange with cloves and wrap with a ribbon, then hang around the house. Boil citrus peels, cloves, cinnamon sticks, vanilla beans, nutmeg freshly grated, fresh ginger and all spice. Pour through a sieve into a jar and seal. Save the peels and spices and dry in the oven on a baking sheet at 300. Check every half hour until dry enough to ground into a powder. Pour powder into glass jar. Mix powder with candle wax and pour into desired shape with a wick. Enjoy your candle and boil your liquid when needed, refrigerate when not in use. Throw away after 5 boils.

    The top students in my high school took excellent notes and reviewed those notes every day after school for only 30 minutes. They did no other studying. It was just a daily review that they did. The rest of us put everything we were exposed to in school out of our minds until two days before an exam when we freaked out and tried to cram. And then we learned that as a adult, most of the stuff we were "taught" we never ever used in real adult life. And the info we really needed, we were never taught.

    Actually, no. Dinosaur obsession is common, but far from universal, and part of the appeal may be the very long but largely phonetic names and meaningless diversity that help kids feel like they know things that grown-ups don't. And THIS would certainly both stem from and help develop intelligence.

    There's a very wide variety of flavors to fish. Salmon, tuna, catfish and tilapia don't have much in common, flavorwise... Unless they get old. You have to eat fish the day you take it home from the store. A "fishy" smell is a smell of old fish. And if you've had bad fish, you may instinctively associate that fishy smell with making you sick. Some fish has little flavor and the slightest fishiness can therefore be noticeable. And some frozen, fried fish is low-quality fish, fried to cover its undesirability. But some fish like salmon or catfish has a lot of beneficial oils which also make them great for holding added flavors in addition to having their own, rich taste.

    No, it actually makes perfect sense. And not just water - anything cold you eat would drain some of your body warmth, which directly results in loss of calories (as the body always aims to maintain a constant temperature).

    For people in the US who are refer to their states by name and not country on a worldwide public forum... your reaction of bewilderment is exactly what the rest of the world encounters when tour speak of your country like it is the centre of the universe.

    With their sexual relationship? I’m satisfied with all of my relationships, but we don’t kiss much (but we do hug a lot).

    Again, BS. There are many more cultures that don't 'kiss' than there are that do, so are they all dissatisfied in their relationships? Perhaps, but at least they have their health.

    No? Icecream is so full of sugar and the cone also has so much more sugar. It’s full of extra fats also. How is that healthier than bagels and raisins?

    Bagels are all starch, which turns to sugar before it even reachers your stomach. "Multigrain" rarely means any significant amount of fiber. Chocolate and nuts are both wonderful for you.

    Some bagels at the store already have them, like cinnamon raisin bagels for example I think. (At least near me)

    As a person who still had bad acne at age 26, I can attest that when I drank three cups of chickweed tea, a supposed "blood purifier", my acne improved. But it did not completely heal until my doctor had me eliminate all sugar and white flour from my diet.

    1 year ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    It’s like saying “chai tea” when “chai” already means “tea,” specifying that what we call the beet is actually just the beet plant’s root makes anything made from it sound more rare and exotic than if you just said it was made with beets.

    This is absolute BS. I NEVER argued with my hubby of 20+ years - he always accused me of not caring, but it was BECAUSE I cared that I wouldn't engage. I never wanted to accidentally say something in anger that I couldn't take back. I never wanted to hurt or humiliate him in any way. I would let him run out of steam till he got tired of fighting a one-sided fight then I'd have a calm, respectful discussion LATER. I totally will argue with people I don't care about or respect. This "fact" is so backward.

    Who comes up with all this BS and calls it 'study'. According to this list if I eat particular foods I should be able to live 3 or 4 centuries without any health issues and if I do some of the other stuff I should be dead before I was born. And my relationships with other people is controlled by what I eat/drink how many times a day. And shocking news, people can un-focus their eyes? Really? Like how 3d puzzles work? What a great and shocking news. And as for people who think they cannot do, yes, you can. It may require a bit of practice maybe if you've never tried but yes, you can. And oh let's not forget anything you do maybe because you're a genius. Almost as BS as astrology .
