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.
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."
there obviously preparing for the international peanut butter famine of 2024
I don't know if it's true but I've heard ginger cats are mostly male.
Makes sense, since we're so close to pigs that we can use them for spare parts.
They smell like bacon when cooking, as will be testified by anyone who has burnt themselves with a soldering iron.
Whenever I start cooking under the sun... I smell like peanut butter. It's weird. But I'm vegetarian, wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Not many people smoke now. Maybe people who have barbecue a lot?

How much did this stupid test cost? And my advice - don't tell sharks.
My childhood friend's father was an anthropologist who spent time with a cannibalistic tribe in Africa in the 60's. He said humans taste like pork, so this makes sense. Their house was filled with the coolest stuff!!!
Probably because of the high fat content. Well, if there's ever a pig shortage we know what to do.
I knew that from working close to a crematorium for many years. It would smell very unfortunately delicious on cold early mornings around that neighborhood.
I've know this for many years. Before 2006. We taste like roast pork. And to cannibals our backside tastes like good parma ham 😲😲
Since bacon is usually cured, does this mean humans are salty? And should we be feeding humans to robots this early in the game? Shouldn't we simply wait until they take over?
I've heard that this is the reason many religions forbid pork; because it tastes similar to human. Several cannibal tribes in PNG refer to human meant as "long pig" And some firefighters can't stand the smell of pork being cooked because it reminds them of finding bodies in house fires.
Well apparently we do have a lot of DNA in common with a pig and the organs are being transplanted into people
We have the same skin to fat ratio of some pigs,,so it's not dark meat(beef),or chicken, (low fat). And we react like pigs in hot weather,,ie,sunburn. We,as humans are as much,fat,fibre, flesh as any other animals
There's a once cannibalistic tribe somewhere that referred to humans as "long pig".
So does this mean we need to reconsider eating pigs? Are we not brothers and sisters?
Absolute nonsense, and when I tell my cats about this they'll come and beat you up
I'm pretty sure plumbers installed less known saxopipes in our house.
System of a Down's album entitled "Toxicity" was released two years before Britney Spears' song "Toxic." Just saying.
"Only"? Human beings have been around for 150,000 years and 1/15 of the total are alive now.
