Each of us learns by different means. For some, reading a book about WWII sounds like the perfect Sunday evening. Others prefer to learn by listening to podcasts, YouTube, or even the good ol' radio. But a whopping 65% of Americans are visual learners, meaning they learn best through images and videos.

Pages like Not Common Facts then are a great place for curious minds. With 6.1 million followers, it's one of the most popular pages on Instagram where people can learn lesser-known facts. Do you know what "husband storage pods" are at malls in China? And did you know that dogs who have dog friends live longer? Find these and more intriguing facts as you scroll down!

Sorry, but he can afford to. S****y neighbour? Move house. Nobody can force him to carry a pregnancy after he's got raped (may he never, he is too nice a person). If people in his country would make a law to behead all men, he could just leave. It's a bit like rich people saying "money doesn't mean anything"

    Rejoice, all lazy pandas! It turns out that laziness can be a sign of intelligence. At least according to a 2015 study published in the Journal of Health Psychology. The researchers found that those who are less physically active tend to spend more time engaged in mental stimulation. They even coined a fancy term to describe laziness: "the need for cognition."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    So-called lazy people tend to look for ways to make tasks easier and reduce wasteful tasks. They might be better hires, as they look at how to save time, eliminate problems, and innovate. So, forget everything you knew about procrastination and productivity and connect with your inner panda more!

    Hey Kurt B Hartman, you sure are easy to find, so be mindful of what you say on the internet. I can't reply directly to your sh*t comment to the young widow when you said of her husband, "He couldn't do ANYTHING right", so I'm putting it here. What a horrible human being you are for making such a statement. You think it's funny losing everything? It's a joke to you? On behalf of all people who've lost the most important person and their existence as they know it - F**K YOU. The audacity. I wish you the absolute worst in life.

    What about those husband pods in Chinese malls? It turns out that in 2017, the Global Harbour Mall in Shanghai built some glass pods where men can sit and play retro video games while their wives do the shopping. At the time, the service was free, but the creators planned to monetize it by having customers scan a QR code and pay a small sum of money to access the pods.

    The pods also received some mixed reviews. One man, who had just played Tekken 3, told The Paper that he felt like he was back in his childhood. Another gentleman, however, noted that there's no air conditioning in the pods, so, there is still room for improvement.

    So these are men in their 30's? 40's? 50's? How old are "millennials" now, because it's a lot easier to glean information from a generational statement when you know which age of people is being talked about. Just use their age group. The generational names are getting really tired.

    I 100% agree with this. Growing up me and my siblings had a dead beat father and when my brothers got married they showed so much love and affection to their children, not too long ago one of my brothers got into a fight with his wife and there was a talk about divorce, in that time he said “I’ll be hurt by the divorce but I just was my daughter with me” and that was I knew

    But they also have the luxury to do so... my grandfather left the house at 6 to go to work and returned at 8 in the evening. Six day working werk, so badically, he could only spend Sundays with the family. My (boomer)dad already spend more time with us. The economical situation also evolved to dual income families, so the current generation had to step up. This doesn't take away the positive of dads spending time with their kids though.

    Another interesting fact shared by the Not Common Facts page was that the U.S. is no longer among the 20 happiest countries in the world. That's according to the World Happiness Report, and, in its 12-year history, the U.S. has never been outside the top 20. In 2024, it went down from the 15th place to the 23rd. 

    For people over 60, however, it's still the 10th best country in the world, but young people under the age of 30 don't think so anymore. Interestingly, the top three happiest countries for young people were Lithuania, Israel, and Serbia.

    My dog just turned 6. Up until recently, we would cuddle on the couch in the evenings and watch TV... He would walk up to the couch and I would scoot over a bit to make room (he's a APBT / Rottweiler mix), lift up the blanket, and he'd jump in and fall asleep. Lately, he'll walk over and look at me like he wants up... but as soon as I scoot over and lift the blanket, he sighs, turns around, and saunters off to his dog bed. Five minutes later, he'll do it again. When I finally say "im not falling for THAT again," he'll stand there and stare until I finally give in... and then he'll f*****g do it again! Then he'll walk over and hit the "water" button next to his water bowl (which he normally pushes when his bowl is empty), but when I get up to check, his bowl is full. Long story short, my dog - in his older age - has decided he likes to make me work and tell me what to do. He's always been a fickle pickle (i.e. likes to pretend he isn't interested when you try to cuddle him), but now he's just being an a*s about it 🤣

    In November of 2024, Saudi Arabia saw a historic snowfall. It sparked discussions about climate change, and while isolated snowfall in the region is not unheard of, the timing and extent of this one raised some concerns. The meteorologists from the Saudi National Centre of Meteorology claimed that it was a result of a low-pressure system above the Arabian Sea. It merged with the dry and hot air from the desert and formed into thunderstorms, hail, and snow.

    The page also shared the fact that stay-at-home parents report lower stress levels than parents who work full-time. The study upon which the fact is probably based has a little more nuance to it. Researchers looked at working mothers and SAHMs and observed that those who work steadily after the birth of their first child report better physical health.

    That's not a Swedish Prison in the picture. Had to Google the story, never heard of it. Couldn't find any Swedish sources, only American. But they all claim that it was an 1 month sentence, and he was scheduled to be released the next day. And given the sentence, I would hazard a guess that out was at an "öppen anstalt", so he could probably just walk out of there.

    We already know that socialization prolongs our lives, but did you know that the same goes for dogs? Essentially, if you have a doggo, get them a friend ASAP, as researchers have proven that socializing with another canine can help prolong a dog's life. And it doesn't even have to be another puppy, as dogs who had another non-human companion in the house were rated "significantly healthier" than other dogs and had fewer disease diagnoses.

    The Not Common Facts page also shared the fact that more people are buying dumbphones. We were curious to find out how popular this trend really is. It turns out that sales of feature phones (another term for dumbphones) were expected to reach 2.8 million units in 2023. While that's only 2% of all phone sales, experts predict they will rise as Gen Z gets more and more into digital detox.

    A proper pizza has a broad balance of nutrients and food groups. Breakfast cereal is almost entirely carbs and “fortified” nutrients (the actual nutritional value of which is still unclear), plus the protein and fats from the milk if you use it. Adding fruit helps up the nutritional value of cereal, but even that is still mostly sugar and fiber. Nobody puts vegetables in their breakfast cereal.

    One more uplifting fact is that millennial dads spend three times more time with their kids than their own fathers did. And while things at home aren't really equal yet (moms still shoulder the bigger part of the household tasks and childcare), we're still moving in the right direction. According to another 2017 study, dads dedicate 30 minutes a day more to chores than their dads did.

    Orrrrr… the solution isn’t easy to come by. Medicine, therapy, finances, they’re all problems people might have and need a common consensus on. Or a different consensus until the right match hits. It’s a tad ableist to assume that, just because somebody is rehashing the same issue out with multiple people, they’re attention seekers.

    My mum has talked to more than three people about getting her driveway more drivable. It's not for attention, it's because she wants a permanent solution that won't cripple her financially. Actually it's not even about the cost in a lot of cases, the people just look at it and decide it's too hard so pass on the job.

    Well, I live in Sweden and I have just looked at two brands of butter in my fridge and both say they are made from "fresh Swedish cream with a pinch of salt". No mention of milk, but they probably assume that people know it comes from milk.

    This wouldn't happen in Australia now (not that I know where it did happen) because there are laws against storing embryos for more than 10 years, for multiple reasons. If you want to do so, you have to go to court to get an extension and there has to be a very good reason.

    This is false! The levee that broke was one of a dozen that broke along that river during insane flooding. The Army Corps of Engineers had just taken material from the area that gave way, making the already completely saturated levee taller, but thinner as well. Experts later said that the levee broke due to natural causes, but "Catastrophe Jim" aka James Scott was scapegoated after because he was an ex-con and had been helping at the levee the day of the flood and admitted that he moved some sandbags from one area to a place he saw leaking. When the levee broke, instead of fishing, partying, and f#cking, as some people claimed he had bragged, he first helped the Coast Guard load boats into the water, then drove for five hours to get around the flooded area so he could pick up his wife from work before they drove another five hours so they could get home.

    Green eyes over blue eyes in my family. Guess we buck the trend. Or if you are looking globally, it's because the groups with the lowest level of th enzymes to break down alcohol (indigenous Americans and east Asians) tend to have brown eyes. There's also some evidence that the healthy benefits from moderate alcohol intake is primarily seen in people of Indo-European descent. There's nothing in the eye colour genes that helps with alcohol processing, it's just that ethnicities with more enzymes to metabolize the alcohol are also more prone to blue eyes.
