50 Cool And Interesting Facts About The World That May Be New To You

Our taxes are a lot lower compared to other countries. But we have a good government, who invests in things that matter.

When I was homeless after coming out to my parents (literally running) at 15, I had the forethought to stash a back pack outside. It had nothing I actually ended up needing in it, and I had zero idea how to find resources. They were in a fringe evangelical culty thing. Things like charity (from anywhere outside the small church they belonged to, or state assistance were not discussed, those things were of "the world" "not of GOD!" Ikr... anyway, I found some clothing in a dumpster, but it wasn't enough. I got lucky, when some gutter-punk (punk rock, but choosing to live by squatting abandoned buildings and dumpstering etc), they showed me better spots. But still it was always stuff that was outside, dirty as hell, and sometimes gave is weird rashes. One day I stumbled across what is the coolest thing I have ever seen for homeless folks. It was a very lightly heated closet type thing. You typed in a code, and the door sprung open. It had coats, hats, scarves, gloves and blankets.

Taking "green roof" to a whole new level!

I've found my new idol

Also known as Snow Fairy! Their chirps are adorable as well.

The squirrels all think their nuts are in my flower pots. THEY'RE NOT!!! 😡🤬

Speed VIII: Land Mass of Doom.

It's actually purple, not 'jet black'. I'm sure the pic provided has been edited. I personally wouldn't say it was sweeter than honey, but definitely sweeter that golden delicious. It was nice, but not worth about (based on exchange rate at the the time) £6 per apple.

My asthma would be down, but my claustrophobia would be off the charts. I guess at least I wouldn't be wheezing while hyperventilating.

Ditto cockroach, ditto.

They named one of the worms Keith Richards and the other Mick Jagger

Well, THAT'S a heartbreaker.

I'm not so sure that this is called empowerment. It sounds more like serious underrepresentation to me.

I know the feeling …

not just in brazil, I think it's pretty widespread

I see that the Downvote Militia wing of the humour-deficient community have missed the obvious joke from Owen. EDIT: And their Commander-in-Chief has arrived to remonstrate with me 😂😂😂

Something not many know is that the saffron flower can grow in a variety of places. A neighbor in NW US grows his own saffron. He says it's just like growing any other flower from bulb for Easter, then harvests and dries the stigma. With the amount of counterfeit saffron in the market, may just want to grow your own.

Must tell my friend Becky, she loves beer and her wife doesn't weigh much

F*ck you Debbie!

I've spent my entire life thinking that hole was where the tears came from

Air protects the chips.

"Instead of using robot"? Who writes this shìt?

In Tokyo the city? Or near by?

Actually I think it was his ear but it was created either way.

He wasn't wrong about it being good luck

What percentage is from the aliens learning all about us before invading?

Mother nature level of pettiness

After being caught, he said "I didn't see that coming!"

i believe, this means the goakao specifically. and that's just to get into high school.

sounds like somthing my mom would have done..... she once claimed as we were in the car with her, that she "just say that tree run across the road"..... then another time, saw tons of cows moving and said, "look at all the moving trees"......

Whale that's a terrifying visual

Oh joy! Looking forward to the next 4 years being BALD!

Now we just give kids candy. I think the other way may have had better results for the classroom?

Where is this plant found in North America? Asking for a friend.

Will it be back?

Who wrote this, the virus?

Many years ago I was talking to a guy who worked for the state health department involving testing milk plants. He said one of the people would always much higher bacteria counts in the samples he took than expected, so a supervisor went with him to observe his sampling process. He very carefully opened the small plastic bags, and then blew into them to open them up instead of using the tabs that were there for exactly that purpose.

if it's lighter than air, wouldnt it float away?

So religions spend millions building statues to their gods instead of helping the poor. Typical.

Personally I've always liked the thought of being a walking ecosystem.

It ain't so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose-breasted_grosbeak#Breeding

I thought that was pickle.

That's not a beer- that's a dare!

What did they prove? That they need to get outside more?

Space pollution

What about a woman?

The Three Mile Island accident.

It's not necessarily sweet, the baby is just ensuring that it's host keeps hostin'

This is unlikely. Sanichar was discovered in 1867, but Rudyard Kipling based Mowgli on six cases of wild children raised by wolves that Kipling read about in a book called 'Journey Through the Kingdom of Oude in 1848-1850', which was published in 1858 so could not have included Sanichar.

Muscles in the palms but not the top of the hands..

"let me think, what would be easier, quilting my job or killing 38 people hmm" I hope this one is untrue and thankfully it seems to be. Because She was exonerated in 2021

I question this cost since I know peasant farmers in China who have 5 of these dogs. They rent them out as guard dogs on construction sites

What about living with pets?

Or the data is skewered (is that the right word?) because people who are ill and will die earlier will be sitting and sleeping more?

It also makes my nose runny and my throat dry.

We don't need that @$$hole living forever
