16 Facts That Sound Too Crazy To Be True, As Shared By This Guy Online
People are used to seeing the world one way and don’t really spend much time thinking about the universe, weird coincidences or relations between random objects. However, when they do, people especially tend to have curious thoughts in the shower, where they can come to mind-blowing realizations even if they are quite obvious, or they come up with the most random questions that they have to find the answer to or else they won’t be able to sleep at night.
TikToker MjcMatthew is probably one of those people as his account is dedicated to interesting facts you didn’t know you wanted to hear. He has created quite a few series, like things people were not meant to see or riddles that only geniuses can solve, but in this list you will find facts that sound fake but are actually true.

Picasso was alive at the same time as Eminem and Charles Darwin let that sink in for a second.

On YouTube, Matthew has over 100k subscribers, but the platform where he is the most successful is TikTok. There he has 3.5 million subscribers and is constantly getting hundreds of thousands of views.
If you shuffle a deck of cards, it is statistically likely that you've shuffled them in an order that has never existed before and will never exist again. Essentially, you were the first person in history to shuffle them in that exact sequence.
His series on real facts that sound fake has been viewed by over 2 million people, the last one being the most popular as it garnered 1 million views. Other popular series of facts include facts about animals, history facts and facts about your body. He will be the one to reveal to you which disgusting habits you have are actually good for you and which of them can actually kill you.
There is a disease out there that can change all of your muscular tissue into bone.
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 😂
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)
Well, maybe you're right, at least partially but I think the point is that blue eye gene is strongly recessive and therefore can only (99%) transferred to a child from 2 parents with this same gene, otherwise dominant gene will take over. 99% is because there are other mutations which can cause eye different color while still carrying the blue eye gene, which may look like disproving the genetics. Or for some reason dominant gene is so damaged that recessive gene is transferred to a child. Other dominant colors are inherited with different rules therefore all persons with blue eyes should theoretically be linked to single source. Theoretically is important word here as it's way too complex (at least for me).

All well endowed men are related and have one common ancestor known as the biggest prick.
True story. His name was Biggus Dickus. MontyPytho...c-jpeg.jpg 
All people are related. They were few human beings so everyone in this planet is related to others.
How do they know that the mutation did not occur more than once? Have they done genetic analysis of ALL blue-eyed people?
With more people being born, since the year 1 C.E. that in the first 190.000 years combined. It is a pretty safe bet, that the mutation happened more than once. Given how prone color mutations are in all animals.

What about the fact that all human irises have a blue layer no matter the outer color layer? It was discovered when they started doing lasik surgery. There were people soon after wanting to get their brown eyes turned to blue and paid for it. However I remember the rules being very lax on training and there were people who ended up blind.
I came here specifically to look for this comment. Bravo.
Load More Replies... so I guess same goes for anyone with blue eyed parents or grandparents, etc
green-eyed people have blue eyes... there is a yellow skin pigment some people have that makes them turn green.
Think about it. There had to be one first pair of mutated beings that got together and started our evolution. So, though it may be extremely distant, we are all related.
And all blue eyed people live their lives looking over their shoulder for a little girl.
I have brown eyes but they are hazel now, I assume with age..
I read about this a few years ago, and as I recall, the article also stated that 99% of the population of Estonia has blue eyes, and the mutation is approximately 5000 years old.
Same ancestor if you carry the blue eye gene but your eyes aren’t blue
My mum has blue eyes but I don't. Does that mean I'm not descended from the founder?
It means you carry blue eyed genes and its possible you could have blue eyed children. I have blue eyes but neither of my children do, one of my grandchildren does have blue eyes though.

ok but like imagine going up to someone and saying "i am a child of the Founder, following many before me. You are being watched." Cult vibes?
All people are related and have one common ancestor. That's how speciation works.
That was both remarkably informative, while still telling me almost nothing.
So, where do the offspring of blue eyed people who have brown eyes stand?
So as the brown eyed daughter and granddaughter of blue eyed people I am related to The Founder , too.
I have a news for you; every single human being can be traced down to a single mother
no because if your white than your body parts are the same as every race, eye color isnt always the same.

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 feel like Pandas should be able to come up with more interesting and much more factual content.
I think bored panda should stop allowing tiktok nonsense on here.

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.
