“Boost Your Knowledge”: 50 “Facts” That Are Actually Not True, Shared By This Twitter Account

Yay! I'm more sensible than I thought!

Its actually the algae in the oceans

Depression causes so many health issues, sadly resulting in many deaths. I just wished we addressed mental health as much as we address other illnesses...

Thomas Edison was a patent stealing cuck

Of course We use all of our brain, we use multiple parts of our brain at any given moment. (Each section uses approx. %10 at a time). Give or take. Different areas of the brain have different functions, so depending on what you're doing at the moment will determine which parts of it you will use. Edit: I could be mistaken but I was watching a documentary on these sort of tests so it could have changed since then. I'm constantly researching things I'm curious about, even the stupid things lol. Sometimes it's not always correct.

The person who came up with the idea that dogs are color blind had little to none experience with dogs.

Wait is that a picture of snowball from Rick and Morty on the back of his sweater

Unless, of course, they were to split. *Giggles and runs away*

And they have black skin

If you eat enough carrots your skin can actually turn slightly orange though

Well that's not surprising considering Walt didn't have much talent for drawing.

i saw a long video all about this and it is actually partially true. Rechargeable batteries deteriorate more when they are at full charge or when they're very low on charge. They're "happiest" at around 50% charge. Most batteries are capable of holding much more charge than they do but they limit them to lengthen it's life in the long run (explains why you sometimes see other batteries the exact same physical size that somehow hold more charge. It does so at the expense of longevity) So, if you leave your phone on charge over night it will stay at 100% all night wearing it out slightly quicker than unplugging it letting the charge run down a bit. They said either way won't make a HUGE difference due to the charging limits manufacturers apply but keeping your battery around 50% all the time would increase it's life a little bit but it's not really practical to do so.

Actually, yes you can. Somebody demonstrated it, with a real grenade, without the explosive, though. And logically, if something is so well wedged in that it would pull my teeth out, there is no way I could pull it with my finger.

Waking me up suddenly is bad for you.

True

Potentially only because no one is dumb enough to go piranha diving? Look up piranha feedings on YouTube and see if you would risk it. Honestly people tend not to stick around after theyve lost a finger. Im sure if you tied someone up and lowered them in the water, with a big school and a bit of time, you would get the desired results.

Hang on... who thought the internet was connected by satellites? I've never heard of this "myth".

Sugar content is the same but due to the process, brown sugar retains more vitamins and minerals from the sugarcane

The reality is likely that people who microwave all or most of their food tend to eat more processed (less healthy) food in the first place. Correlation more than causation.

Is that House?

Oh. I thought it was my work colleague who is the most venomous in the world

I couldn't. I'd have to get up ten times a month to pee.

Technically you can still talk to another skydiver then...they just won't hear you.

People used to believe they could go blind reading in a dark room.

2319!

Leon. The professional. Love it!

Average height for his time. Another bit of British propaganda here :)

It's more like 7 hours or more. Some people need more then 8 hours sleep each night. Also, health problems may increase the need for sleep quite a lot.

yeah but diamond is easier to remember and say lol

Neuroplasticity, baby!

It was the whole ear. There's a drawing of the doctor. https://anderetijden.nl/artikel/213/Dus-toch-Van-Goghs-hele-oor#:~:text=Op%2023%20december%201888%20sneed,vrijwel%20zijn%20hele%20linkeroor%20af.

A peice?

Neither is completely accurate and both are an over-simplification. Chameleons can change their appearance in response to temperature, environment, or mood.

It is long enough to be seen from space but it is not wide enough. Most don't realize that you need to two dimensions that are large enough for something to be seen from a specific distance.

Cool, not cold water is the best.

Oh come on, this is getting silly now. No one thinks a hat causes hair loss!!

Actually, that 'fact' has already been debunked as not true by the medical profession. Cold and flu viruses thrive in cold weather, cold weather changes the way our bodies respond to diseases, therefore yes, it is easier to catch a cold in cold weather.

Ah-choo!

For all your toxin cleansing needs, please refer to the liver. On a serious note, toxins is a unhelpful ambiguous term. Urine for example removes waste from your body, but also excess water. As you may have heard, too much water can actually kill you, is water considered a toxin then? Many substances in your body are both vital but also often discarded in order to keep the necessary concentrations. Basically the whole concept is weird and bogus, your body constantly produces waste as a nirmal part of life, reabsorbs certain parts, discards others. Anything capable of hanging around in your body and also doing you harm will not be helped by sweating thats for sure, but with stuff like heavy metal poisoning thats the point, your body cant get rid of it so it accumulates. Anything your body doesn't want and CAN yeet, it swiftly will, wether you like it or not.

And technically makes you colder since the dilated blood vessels loose heat faster.

what about locks of ultrahard nanotwinned cubic boron nitride?

Don't really understand this though. Presumably he'd seen plenty of things fall already.

Flossing is at least as important as brushing. Do it each time you brush. And rinse well after flossing.

Just because yeast CAN produce strong beer doesn't mean that somewhere someone isn't adding spirits to bolster their weak beer....who the heck came up with this list cause they suck!

You do know that sneezing and coughing are not purely down to illness, right?

Even if that is true, Amadeus is still one of my favorite movies

Well I don't know about everyone else, but I prefer some good quality socks over any head protection in cold weather!...

Only if have good aim

Macedonian

This has been proven untrue many times over. Weight gain is mostly a calories in/calories out equation (much more complicated but that's the basis).

oh no not a lighting strom!!

so then gollum/smeagull wouldn`t have drowned in the lava and the ring wouldn`t have been destroyed?

A page is a great way to carry things.

These cutouts are getting annoying.

it depends... we have 4k cctv cameras at work and I can not only see their faces, but also what kind of candybar they are eating :-)

The whole of Britain goes "What?". No one keeps tea in a pot for that long. For a start it would be cold.
