I’m surprised this question was so far down on this list! I had no idea either! 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know Americans are allergic to the metric system but you're out by a factor of 1,000. 300,000lbs = 136,000kg or 137 tons. (Metric) On a side note, why do Americans say 300,000lbs rather than 133 tons?(Imperial), that's like saying the distance from New York to Los Angeles is 12,909,600 feet rather than 2,445 miles.

Whale tongue was "soft and delicious" and was salted to preserve it according to histories written when whales were hunted for oil, blubber and whale one. It's probable that sailors knew how much meat they harvested so they knew how much salt was needed and how much profit they would make.

Read somewhere that a good, gem quality emerald is rarer than a gem quality diamond.

"Diamonds are literally carbon molecules lined up in the most boring way. They're worthless space garbage... basically meteorite poop." --Michael, "The Good Place"

Diamonds were deliberately created as “The must-have stone!” by the DeBeers company in the 1800s. Prior to that, engagement rings could be any stone, frequently were custom made or family heirlooms. My engagement ring has a tanzanite, which is a medium to light blue-ish purple stone. My husband and I worked in the same retail store (his boss gave me a job so I could move to VA). I used to hang around the jewelry counter, deciding what I’d like. Grapevine got back to me. Seems one salesperson was weirded out by “this woman who comes by and wants engagement rings that don’t have diamonds and aren’t yellow gold!” His coworker apparently said “Oh, that’s Ed’s wife!”

I prefer pretty gemstones, not necessarily expensive ones.

There are more diamonds and gold in the universe, than trees! Presuming trees only exists on earth.. so if aliens visited, a wood-shop would be a lucrative business.

Diamonds are more boring than tacky, but they wear well, and small diamond chips make an excellent element for jewelry designs. Unfortunately, some of the most beautiful gems are incredibly fragile. Emeralds, for example.

Impossible for you maybe.

It's actually impossible to imagine anything that is entirely new or isn't a mix of things we already know.

I felt the same way for so long too when I was a little kid in middle school!!

I've had several cats who would happily go for my coffee, I think it's the coffee they like, not the sugar. And the last thing those furry little bästärds needed was caffeine to fuel their 3am zoomies.
