Guy Shares 30 Interesting, Random, Or Odd Facts About People And The World You Might Not Have Heard Of

The Japanese word for cat is "NEKO", meaning "sleeping child", "NE" is from "Neru", sleep, and "KO" means child. No wonder, right?

Stubbs was the mayor of a town called Talkeetna up here from 1997 to 2017.

Cats make better mayors than many of our human mayors

Err... a cat lies on its back because it then has all four paws with razor-sharp claws pointing in your direction. It is so very not an invitation to rub the belly.

Cats are 95% tiger, they are also 97% banana

"The Saluki is the oldest dog breed." This is a disputed thing. They are one of the oldest but they may or may not be the oldest. Ibizans, Pharaoh Hounds, Basenjis, Afghan Hounds, Akitas, Samoyeds, and several other northern spitz dogs are probably older than the Saluki. Yes I know the Guinness book of world records claims this but it's not 100% fact.

"A Golden Retriever was a mayor in California" Golden retrivers should be presidents in every country and the world would be a much better place!

Cats can get jealous too. Veeeerry jealous

All of these are brilliant. My two dogs are little drama queens I swear .

We used to have a Saluki, it always surprises me how so few people have heard of them.

#3 totally makes sense when you consider how birds communicate with each other. Many, many years ago I read somewhere that a man working on decoding parrot language of one specific species and learned that the first sound for each individual was different but the next sound was uniformly the same, which he hypothesized meant that the first sound was the bird’s “name” and then the second sound was a greeting.

I'm sure my cat is saying something - her meow sounds are different for different things - it's like having a neighbor from a foreign country. But there's no common ground - I can mimic her, but it just makes her impatient.

I think birds aren't the only ones who like listening to classical music; all the other pets I've had seemed to too 😄

I used to own this sweetest cat . She was an absolute darling. She would come on command, and never stopped talking to me. Only me though . She was an absolute darling . Her name was Lucy - Locket ❤️😢

I saw a bird doing the moonwalk once

Anyone else notice that 8 out of 10 are directly anxiety based, and that the last 2 could be argued as anxiety based as well?

My last dream was about being back in school, but realizing I didn’t know my schedule, or where anything was in the school. So the dream was me at school one day, lost on campus, late to classes, and generally being unprepared for everything. And the school layout was somehow a mix of every school I’ve attended in my life, plus a few random buildings from movies (and not normal movies - more like Mortal Kombat). And that, my friends, is why I decided I really don’t need to get my Masters degree.

All of my performing friends (and me) have dreams about being on stage and not knowing our lines, or the song. It's terrifying!!!

Mine is needing to find a bathroom but it is out of order or people are watching or some other reason I can't use it. If I ever find a usable bathroom in my dreams I will for sure pee myself in real life.

Ok, all except slow motion, plus losing hair fast, can't find my phone or it doesn't work, chased by someone, and driving(I can't do that) are frequent for over 20 years; others are way more terrifying which I can't even explain! So, I'm scared to sleep often and really don't enough.

For blood i use ice cubes on the stain and it goes like magic! Never heard of warm water before!! Believe me as women we have cleaned blood more than once😭😭

Warm water and blood? No, thanks. How many bad ideas!

I've found that Dawn Dishwashing Liquid works better than pretreating sprays on stains on clothing - blood, urine etc... This is not an ad

Permanent marker? Rubbing alcohol.

Blood= peroxide every single time. Most women learn this eventually because menses accidents are bound to happen

I miss the watermelons we had when I was a kid the long ones with the seeds. They were a deep red and very sweet and juicy.

1) Siempre golpear la sandía con la palma de la mano abierta. Debe vibrar y sonar un balón lleno de agua. Eso dice que está jugosa. 2) la marca amarilla es la zona donde se asienta la sandía sobre la tierra. Cuanto más oscuro sea el color, más ha madurado y más dulce será.

Neither of these answers satisfies me, unfortunately.

Deja vu can also be a response of a type of focal seizure. Focal awareness seizures (aka simple partial and auras) are a type of focal seizure that affects the senses. People who have one can have certain things they smell, taste, see, sounds they hear, feelings they get (positive and negative or strange), including deja vu. The list goes on and on. What happens to each individual depends on the location of the focal point in the brain (visual area will most likely see things like colors and hallucinations are just a few things).

Ok but what about deja vu 4 times in a row a couple of weeks apart in the same spot

Déjà vu is the same as a psychic memory connection all humans have, all 'phenomena's' are. .

I had deja vu like an hour ago. I seem to get it a lot.
