50 Random Facts To Entertain Your Brain Cells, As Shared By “Quite Interesting” Twitter Account
There are nearly 8 billion people on this planet, and everybody constantly wants to know things. Whether you're into astronomy and the whole chicken or egg thing, or you're simply a curious person – all the answers that humankind can give you would probably be not enough, and it's absolutely understandable. We're floating God-knows-where around a bunch of fairly similar and large astronomical bodies while having to get up and go to work every single day – how could you not wonder about things?
However, sometimes looking for answers can do no good. An existential crisis can seriously mess up your whole nervous system, which is we have multiple options that can help us get away from reality whenever we need to. But from time to time, it gets rather samey and watching a show or scrolling through your feed doesn't keep you entertained anymore:
This is when a Twitter page with over 1.3M followers dedicated to "quite interesting" facts comes to the rescue: nearly 50K tweets worth of lightweight and educational posts that'll keep you occupied for hours. We've gathered a few of the best ones, but don't hesitate to use the comment section to add your "quite interesting" fact.

Besides, the “Quite Interesting” Twitter page is actually a game show that currently broadcasts on the BBC Two channel. It started out in 2003 and already has 19 seasons. However, the quiz show has more of a comedic twist where well-known British personalities compete and score points not necessarily based on the correctness of their answers but the funniness. And as for the plot of the show, it focuses on the participants answering obscure questions, making it almost impossible to give a correct answer, which is why humor remains the main focus.

Seeing that we share about 60% of our DNA with bananas, we should probably not get too arrogant.

Additional fun fact, they stay in their juvenile state through out there life. Reseachers gave them hormones to make them passe the juvenile state to the "real" adult state, they turned out like any other amphibians. They lose their gills and breath through lungs. Their colour turns dark and they live on land. And... They die faster. All these won't happen in a normal axolotl.

yes, buuuuut no animal other than us can fabricate new limbs and construct from basic components. Yes there are other fully fledged tool users, but they are more often modifying an existing object rather than building up from basic. The secret to animal intelligence, is that they are as intelligent as they need to be to solve the problems of their survival. So far, only humans seem to delight in creating difficult situation deliberately to test their problem solving abilities.

What's sad about axolotls is that they are practically extinct in the wild. They only inhabit one place in the wild, in Mexico (Xochimilco, to be exact) and habitat loss is causing their demise. There's also a very surreal story by Cortazar called Axolotl if you need something to read.

Definition of imposter syndrome: "Imposter syndrome is loosely defined as doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments. Many question whether they're deserving of accolades."
