Humans have been puzzled by things like the depths of the ocean and outer space. But one equally mysterious object has been standing right in front of you when you look in the mirror. It’s a human body.

And one TikTok creator named Knowledgesaurus has been stripping away the mystery surrounding it in a series of “How Rare Is Your Body?” videos. From explaining what percentage of people have features like cracked tongue, angled palm crease, or an extra rib, to counting how many people have the ability to write with both their right and left hands, or can make a clover out of their tongue.

The informative and fun videos gained Knowledgesaurus immediate popularity with millions of views and 1.3M followers, so let’s see some of the most interesting body facts that will pump your biology knowledge muscle so you can show it off in the next trivia session.

“I’m 25 years old and have been an entrepreneur since the age of 19. I found success with that early on and ended up dropping out of college. I made good money, but wasn’t happy.” At that point, the TikTok creator took a risk and decided to “stop all that and start something more fun that I’m interested in and that’s how Knowledgesaurus started. I started this account 1/1/2021 with the goal of growing it and making it my full-time job and within 110 days, I was able to reach 1 million followers, which I’m so thankful for!”

knowledgesaurus , Lee Haywood Report

When asked how he came up with the idea for the "How Rare Are You?" series, Knowledgesaurus said it started after making a bunch of videos and seeing what people enjoyed watching. “I realized that people love to know information about themselves and love statistics. So that’s how the series began.”

“I always loved knowing random useless information to surprise people with,” the content creator said and added: “I think it all started when I was younger. If someone was talking about something I didn’t know much about, I would go and look up stuff about it and find interesting information about that topic so I could have a better conversation next time.”

Why does it need correcting? Isn't it just a cosmetic difference? Shouldn't it be up to the child to keep it or change it once they're old enough to make the decision, as long as it isn't impacting their hearing?

Correlation, not causation. I don't think simply using a different hand alters your lifespan, as there are soooo many factors that go into how, when, & why someone dies. I really doubt your handedness plays a significant role in that unless it's the 1600s & you're accused of being a witch. Of course, like others said, accidents can be caused by equipment designed for right-handed people, but surely not all of them are fatal like the article post implies (if this is what it's referring to).

One theory of this is that it's because most equipment is made for right handed people. But it is also important to remember that life spans takes a really long time to calculate. It could be that the difference is much smaller with the living population today.

My aunt was left handed but in school that wasnt allowed so they forced her to write with her right hand and for the longest time I can remember she could write with both hands but as she got older she stuck with her right hand to write with. I guess back in the late y0s early 70s it was frowned upon to be a lefties? Idk. I was born in 1984 and never saw an issue with it. We have our own holiday and a specialty store we can shop at for everything left handed 😁

The study was found to be screwed because it did not take into account that in the past (when this study was done) left handers were forced to convert to right handers. Therefore some of the right handers they were counting as longer living were in actuality left handers.

I read somewhere that in the middle ages left handed soldiers died more frequently, because they had the sword in the left the shield in the right hand, so the right side of the chest was more protected, but the heart is on the left side.

It's just my observation, but why do i found more lefthanded people in europe than in asia? Is it correlated with most asian culture where right hand is the polite hand? Or is it simply genetic? It's a serious question.

Left handedness would historically have been discouraged, punished, in Europe, certainly when my parents were growing up. Now not so. So there is no longer a cultural driver to handedness. In polite hand cultures this may be covering up real handedness.

I know a person I don't like who is left handed. This makes me happy! I have nothing against the other left-handed people.

I had a hard time understanding this, because that picture is not showing the mentioned bend at all. This is what it looks like: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRv7izzuQZ8x4BdXJ5PzLGWd-Ogt4KLZ4xgMQ&usqp=CAU

Person Invites You To Learn 'How Rare Is Your Body?' In His Viral Series Only 4% of people have an outie belly button. Believe it or not, doctors can't choose if you'll have an innie or an outie belly button, things like the belly button itself and the fat beneath it determine what it will look like.

When I fell skating, an x-ray revealed that I had an extra bone in my forearm. The doctor took med students to see me and my unexpected x-ray!
