Because the Statue of Liberty is made of copper it used to be the color of a coin basically due to oxidation in 1922 it turned completely green.
I remember hearing that people complaining about how bright the copper was early on due to sunlight reflection 😂
Years of chemical reactions involving oxygen and even air pollution led to the color change from copper to liberty green. It didn't just happen in 1922
This doesn't sound too crazy to be true. Hasn't everyone seen a copper coin oxidizing?
I feel like most people born before 2000 know this one

Your request has been granted, Jo Choto . Copper-Sof...abeab2.jpg 
So this symbol of our nation is the color of money. Makes perfect sense.
The Statue of Liberty's exterior is made of copper, and it turned that shade of green because of oxidation. At the Statue’s unveiling, in 1886, it was brown, like a penny. By 1906, oxidation had covered it with a green patina.: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/09/19/the-statue-of-libertys-beguiling-green
Fun fact The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French people commemorating the alliance of France and the United States during the American Revolution. ... It was the hope of many French liberals that democracy would prevail and that freedom and justice for all would be attained.that's why if you look at the ankle it has a broken chain on it
1. That copper oxidizes is pretty common knowledge. 2. It doesn't happen overnight, or suddenly in just one year. It was a process that took years, ending in 1906. 3. It was not polished when new, so it wouldn't have been too shiny even before it oxidized.
I remember seeing a movie that took place in 1800s France, and one of the final scenes took place by the Statue of Liberty that was being built. I had previously learned that the Statue of Liberty used to be copper-colored, and it sort of took me out of the moment to see it as green-blue... when it wasn't even completely built yet.
A few decades ago the city spent a large amount of money to bring back the original color even though it would only be very temporary.
People think the Statue of Liberty celebrates immigration. However it celebrates the ending of slavery in the USA. If you look under her feet you will see the broken chains.
As bad as the drug problem is in United States, O'm surprised chunks of her aren't missing. I mean they take out wiring everywhere. Steal copper pipes from old, and newly constructed house...
So, its basically tarnished to hell and back..? Fitting metaphor for the U.S. when you think about it.
I’m guessing industrial pollution, plus the rise in automobile ownership, played a part in that as well.
Actually no. The thick coat made of Oxydation prevents the statue from being damaged by salt water and other nature influences that may eat the material she's made off

The United Kingdom has more tornadoes per area than any other country in the world.
The can opener wasn't invented until 40 years after the can.
there's a little "key" that is attached to the can, where you break them off the side or top of the can to uncoil the tab around the can.
The facts in this list that Matthew found sound actually unbelievable. It’s just absurd to think that a can opener was invented so much later than a can as it raises the question of how they were opened previously. Or that all blue-eyed people have the same ancestor, because it is hard to wrap your head around the fact that they all are a result of a mutation that occurred in one baby 6,000-10,000 years ago.
Or he makes you see things in a different perspective that you never thought about, like Oxford University being older than the Aztec Empire, and that Picasso can be considered a link between Eminem and Darwin as he was alive at the same time they both also were on this Earth.
If you had a teaspoon sized neutron star, it would have the same mass as 900 pyramids of Giza.
All blue eyed people are related here and have one common ancestor known as the Founder.
Iirc, it's the same for green eyes, due to blue or green eyes being linked to some kind of "mutation". (i may be wrong however)
Only after making 1.4 billion crayons the senior crayon maker at Crayola admit he was colorblind. I mean fair play he smashed it, but what?
Do you know any random facts that, once heard, you have to research and find out if they're real or not? Leave them in the comments. Also, let us know what you think of Matthew’s facts and upvote the ones that surprised you the most!
One glass of water has more atoms than there are glasses of water in all of the oceans of the earth.
Out of curiosity, I googled up some numbers. Several websites claim there are about 1x10^26 (100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) atoms in a liter of water. The calculations for total number of liters of water in the world varies, but the US Geological Survey website says there are 1.386x10^21 (1,386,000,000,000,000,000,000) liters of water, including water vapor, ice, ground water, etc. There are about 72,150 times as many atoms in a liter of water than there are liters of water on and in Earth.
Facebook Like button was going to be called the Awesome button.
The stickers that are placed on fruits turns out are actually edible.
There are more ways to play a game of chess than there are atoms in the observable universe.
There are already some 20 sextillions of planets in the observable universe. Multiply it times some 100 googols of atoms the earth consist of. And it still misses all stars, moons, nebulas, black holes, antimatter, dark matter. Not to mention the earth isn't particularly big planet.
Eiffel Tower was originally intended to be in Barcelona because the people of Barcelona didn't like the project idea they moved it to France.

I'm lazy. Will someone fact check these and post some replies already?
Please explain, because, the ones I haven't heard before and checked at that point, seem to check out by popular sources (Wikipedia is a perfect guide to these sources, in itself not enough). So. How's about if you have no clue what your saying, you shush.
