50 Unique And Random Facts You Can Use In Conversations When You Run Out Of Things To Say

This is Saint Boniface. Actually, they let the unhoused sleep there during the day, not overnight. The church helps in many other ways too.

Weighs about 30 tons. Like, 5 elephants and 37 VW beetles...

Something tells me he probably donated his prize money too.

There is a really good 2014 99% Invisible podcast about this. …. It happened in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle

I so want to take this guy's classes!

Would love to see this in England.

Bucket list item for sure, but maybe more towards the end.

Is not so much for liberating the country (US and Polish troops also played a big part in that) but for keeping the royal family safe during their exile. And temporarily changing part of a hospital Dutch soil so that the princesses were born in the Netherlands.

I do the same with my labrador :-)

Cool! Yet another reason why not to keep them as pets?

And my screen name means anticlockwise 🤓

...fill it in?

Imagine what my life would have been like if BP had censored the word 'd**g' effectively in the above image. I could have been someone.. I could have made positive change in the world.. I could have lived with purpose. Sadly, my young mind was corrupted in an instant and I am now spiralling into darkness. My once promising mind is corrupted and I shall only know torment until my blackened heart rests at the end of what will surely be a cursed life. Why, BP? WHY? Tell your children what has happened here today, lest they sink into the same deep, dark cavern of woe.

Svalbard, Norway. And it's threatened by climate change, so...

As my anthropology prof said, we are all out of Africa

I have A neg. I signed up to donate blood some years ago and I've been donating regularly. It seems to be a rare type (at least in my area), because I am sometimes contacted by someone from the donation center and asked if I could come on day X for an urgent blood request. It's cool to know you're really helping someone. Someday you might be the one in need of blood.

This is incorrect. So much so, that a reddit post this was also listed on was deleted. Rabbits very much can "walk," it's just not the norm because of their body structure. Their bodies are more conducive to hoping so it is more efficient for them to do so. Just like we can hop, but we are built for walking/running. Hopping is inefficient for humans. If you've ever seen newborn/baby bunnies, they do a cute little "walk" before they learn to hop. Also, many rabbits that sustain foot injuries/illness will walk until they are healed. I hate TikTok but here is a link to video of what a rabbit looks like walking: https://www.tiktok.com/@grahamandsmores/video/7238260936979664171 Sorry if it doesn't work, I don't actually have a TikTok & just copied the link.

And no/very little free freshwater available?

They're an offshoot of the Chinese Red Delicious; like the majority of apples are cultivated to be this way, not natural. The growing conditions are very specific so incredibly hard to duplicate hence why you don't see others trying to grow them. You can, however, get the Arkansas Black Apple, which is very similar in appearance though tart rather than sweet. Also cultivated of course.

Calling it a diamond mine is a bit like calling a mountain stream a gold mine just because panning for gold can actually produce a modest amount of gold. The place is Crater of Diamonds State Park, and park statistics say that about 1 of every 200 visitors finds a diamond. A few very valuable diamonds have been found, but the park says that most aren't even appraised. I'm sure it can be fun, but it would be a mistake t think there's a good financial reason for a visit.

I know in my brain it's an octopus, however, doesn't that look like my man's carrying a 8 armed Alien through the water?!?!?

And she has already donated billions of dollars to various charities

Eats 300000 (a) mo(n)th.

Now we need a fat-breaking-down fruit!

Neither her or Stephen Hawking never had a twitter account. The rest is also partially inaccurate https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sabrina-pasterski-physics-girl/

Also one of the strongest currencies in the world.

Copying my comment from below. I watched several architect videos stating that such buildings were absolutely unsustainable and an absurdity (issues with constantly having to care for the trees, inc roots growing, flats being infested with bugs (inc mosquitoes) to the point where inhabitants don't open their windows) massive use of water etc. Several people in the comments who lived in such buildings seemed to validate these points...If you have some further feedback i'm interested

It reminds me of Howl's Moving Castle for some reason.

Can't ypvote HARD enough

All I can think about is, "The spiders!" 😱

Or maybe just plant a tree? In the US, these tanks would be vandalized and broken in no time at all.

Do they do anything useful, or could we have rid of them completely?

also for maple syrup. The real stuff.

That looks so very uncomfortable.

So, apparently it wasn’t a door.

Really cool to eat a lemon afterwards, but the sweet-taste is little bit different than ordinary sugar.

*stashes under Christmas Tree* "It's a soap set".

Do ppl eat the cherries?

The problem comes with the search engine. Error 404 file not found

Wrong. We all know the strongest material known to humans is that one strand of spider web you walk into when you least expect it.

Job security.

So many bananas!

Shake your tail feather!

No, thank you. My dreams are really weird, usually involve strange architecture and not enough bathrooms, and watching them once in my sleep is quite enough.

How deep?

I don't know if I have to go that bad. I can hold it. 😬

It's the perfect wave, you can surf it foreever.

and thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed to make place for sugarcane plantations (one article said 16.3 thousand km2) So it is very bad for the environment

This is misleading. They land in the water, they just don't go to solid ground very often.

Going to have to set up a scorpion farm and milking operation.

Good for dealing with human rights activists

SUBARU is Japanese for a cluster of six stars, which the Greeks called the Pleiades – part of the Taurus constellation.
