40 ‘Why The Hell Do You Know That’ Facts That People Probably Shouldn’t Have Shared But Did Anyway
We love to learn facts: fun ones, cool ones, strange ones. The internet is a treasure-trove of new facts to discover and share with your friends. On the other hand, it also brings us some things that we wish we didn’t know.
Have you ever heard a fact so weird and specific that it made you ask, “Why the hell do you know that?” Apparently, quite a few people have. A recent thread on r/AskReddit set out to find the strangest facts that people know and the internet has delivered once again.
Tell one of these facts to someone and it will surely bring a look of horror and confusion to their face. So, they’re probably not the best icebreakers to use at a party, but hey, maybe they’ll be useful at some point in the future. Check out part one here for more weird facts.

A co-worker told me one day “you’ll know when it’s truly the first day of spring because lake water will warm up and make any dead bodies in the lake float to the top surface due to bacteria” he continued with “except for in Lake Superior where the water temperature never gets warm enough to build bacteria in a dead body” and that’s one coworker I’ll never make mad right there

To expand on the first point: you'll notice at any given point in the day you are mostly breathing out of one nostril or the other. Your body automatically cycles between nostrils by alternatively swelling the tissue on either side. Some theories on why this is stem from the fact that some scents are better picked up with lots of airflow, while other scents are best detected by allowing the air to move slower through your nose, and the alternation gives the "fast" side a break. If you're a side sleeper, you'll also notice the "top" nare is the one to (eventually) open up when you're sleeping.

One way of recounting information is the use of mnemonics. This refers to a system that can help you remember information by tying it to certain patterns. Examples of this can be acronyms (such as ‘Every Good Boy Deserves Football’ that musicians use to remember the lines on a music ledger) or musical methods (like putting the alphabet to the tune of ‘Twinkle-Twinkle Little Star’). Surely a lot of us still recount the alphabet by using this method, I know I do.
An experiment was performed on how mnemonics such as acronyms can make a difference in remembering information and enforcing our work without interruptions. It required the 65 participants to complete a task with multiple different steps. Half of the group were given an acronym to support and remind them of each step and the other half were not.

When Napoleon Bonaparte died in exile, they cut off his reproductive organ and gave it to the local parish priest. The priest later sold it to raise money for his Parish and it's been sold and resold down through the centuries and to this day there are three people who claim to own Napoleon's reproductive organ.
No one knows why this happened, and it's not the important part of the story. The important part is, who the hell do those other two belong to?

Rats are bisexual by nature and females will have group orgies with each other when in heat.
Male's balls can take up 10% of their entire mass!
There was a study where they put females in 'lingerie' and accustomed the males to it to the point they only saw the lingerie wearing rats as suitable mates.
Rats can give into peer pressure and eat things they don't like if everyone else is eating it.
Rats cannot burp or vomit.
With the amount of people killing pest rats by poison, they are creating bigger, smarter, poison resistant mutant rats.
Katie Lutesinger 4 years ago
I've kept pet rats since I was a teenager, and can attest that the bisexual thing is true. It's so funny watching them jump on each other. Sometimes the rat who's on the bottom grumpily shoves the other one away and you can all but hear them saying "Quit it!"
Ozacoter 4 years ago
They are fascinating. They will chose to help a mate (or even a stranger sometimes) over a great reward ("candy"). And they can be a bit "racist". If a rat of one colour (lets say brown) has only grown with rats of that colour (brown) it will be less friendly towards another coloured rat (lets say black and white). But its about the family colours not theirs. So a b&w rat living with brown rats will be the same.

“Killing” pest rats doesn’t lead to any adaptations. Attempting to will, so long as it isn’t successful.
Another more visual way of memorizing information is the 'method of loci' or the use of a ‘memory palace’. This was used to effect in Benedict Cumberbatch’s modern portrayal of Sherlock Holmes, where he closes his eyes and imagines a virtual space that stores all of the most useful information in his memory. All he had to do was walk through the space led by certain cues and pluck out memories from wherever he had filed them, helping him to solve cases in a jiffy.

Another random law: If a Swede crosses over the frozen sea between Denmark and Sweden, Danes are allowed to beat them up. It's a relic of when Denmark and Sweden were constantly at war, so if a group of Swedes crossed over the ice they probably didn't have good intentions, thus this law allowing the Danes to defend themselves.

The Eastern newt in the US can give it a run for its money for being alien. For years, people thought it was 3 different animals. Its born as an green aquatic animal with gills. It metamorphosizes into a juvenile terrestrial red eft with no gills and VERY red. Its one of the most poisonous neurotoxin producing animals in the world and its red color is the textbook example aposematism (I'm bright because I'll kill you). They then go through metamorphosis one more time 1 month to 15 years later and switch to green spotted aquatic beast with an alligator shaped tail. Sometimes they just skip the red eft stage for no reason and keep their gills the whole time. Sometimes the adult version switches back to the terrestrial red version. On top of that, sometimes the females decide they don't need a mate for kids and create clones of themself using parthenogenesis instead.

There was some study done (based on past events, not trials) where cats would typically only die if they fell from a height between (I think) the 3rd and 7th floor. Below that they did not gain enough velocity, and above that they would be able to expand their limbs and utilize the parachute of skin they have.

Considering the international space station is 254 miles up, a squirrel can definitely die from terminal velocity. The death will not be the sudden stop - the velocity based death with be based on vaporization from re-entry as the new terminal velocity changes with a thickening atmosphere. It doesn't matter how good Sandy's space suit is - she's not making it home from 254 miles.

Dolphins can fall deeply in love and develop relationships just like humans can.
It has been recorded multiple times that when a human and dolphin - who have formed a strong relationship between them over a long period of time are separated:
the dolphin becomes so depressed that they willfully commit suicide by sinking to the bottom of their pool/lagoon and refuse to come up for air until they drown to death.

The main legal consideration between grave robbery and archeology is age and if the deceased has any living relatives.

This is specific to where you are in the world. In the UK the line is a certificate from a coroner saying you are able to exhume the body. They will typically grant on a body older than 99 years and if no living relatives object. You cannot claim any artefacts buried with them and you have to have a good reason for the exhumation (although 'good reason' might be "I want to build a patio and their grave is in the way"). If the religion of the individual is known you then have to arrange for reburial, if not then you might have to pay for museum storage.

The quickest way to the heart actually IS through the stomach. According to archeological evidence, the Aztecs basically discovered through their years of sacrificing people that it’s way quicker to cut open the stomach and then go up and under the rib cage to cut the heart out, rather than trying to break open the ribs to get through them. They could apparently get someone’s heart out this way in only a few seconds, and there are accounts of sacrifices where multiple thousands of people had their hearts cut out in a single day, which would take forever if they didn’t know the quickest method.

Figs are not a fruit but actually an 'inverted flower'. They get pollinated by Fig Wasps, that crawl inside, losing their wings and antennae in the process and dying there. The fig then produces some enzymes that end up 'digesting' the wasp. After it's pollinated, some small fruits grow inside, some little seed-like crunchy things.

Figs are male and female. Female fig wasps crawl inside the fig, losing their wings, so they are trapped. If the fig is male, the wasp lays eggs inside the fig, which hatch into larva, burrow out, and fly away to pollinate more figs because they are covered in fig pollen. If the fig is female, the wasp ends up pollinating it and dying without laying any eggs. The female fig creates an enzyme that does totally break down the female wasp. Any "crunchy bits" ARE seeds. So female figs do contain wasps, and male figs are not edible. But entomography is fine
Osgood_7 4 years ago
I learned it slightly differently but I'm not sure you're wrong, it may depend on the species as there are a lot of very specific wasp-fig interactions. The species of figs pollinated by wasps have both male and female parts, but they are present at different time. Females force their way in and lose their wings, then lay eggs and die. They already have pollen on them from when they are born, and it brushes off onto the female parts of the fig flowers, which are fertilized and start to develop seeds. Male wasps hatch first, fertilize the developing females, then chew holes out through the fig and die (males have no wings). Females hatch, get pollen on them from the male parts of the fig as they leave, and exit through the holes chewed by the males, then find another fig. Repeat.

Stalin was shorter than Napoleon at 5'5" and his left arm was shorter with a deformed hand due to blood poisoning
Katie Lutesinger 4 years ago
And he died lying on his bedroom floor in a puddle of urine because he'd had a stroke and his personal doctor had been sent to the Gulag while his immediate underlings were all too afraid to go in without permission, so nobody was there to help. Possibly one of the most ironic deaths of all time.
lara 4 years ago
No, he died in his bed. He was "removed" from the floor and taken to his dacha. Where everyone stood around, wringing their hands about what they should do. The only one who seemed to care was his daughter. They brought in some doctors and they were afraid to do anything. When Stalin finally died, Beria and the rest of the "gang" had everyone shot right there on the dacha grounds. The servants, doctors, gardeners EVERYONE. Very funny movie and very accurate "The Death of Stalin."

There's a weird story about engineers arguing where a railroad should pass. Stalin put his finger on the map and drew a line ("There!"), but his finger caused a tiny bulge on the line. And that's precisely how the railroad was built - with a small unnecessary bulge, in the area where Stalin's finger once touched the map.

Evidently, without being able to see Stalin's "medical records" the medical opinion is that Stalin was being poisoned over a period of time by Warfarin. It would not "affect" his food taster as the taster would only eat a small portion, but consuming it with every meal and drinking as much as he did would lead to internal bleeding with would be confused with a stroke or heart attack.

Don't forget Mao. Stalin once said "the death of a single person is a tragedy. The deaths of millions is a statistic." So, you are judging the horror of a monster by how many he killed. The more he killed, the bigger the monster? The real question is why he was allowed to get away with it.

Yes and it was prevalent in many Pacific Islands for a very long time. It is also linked to mad cow disease and it is a form of encephalitis which is a protein that you cannot kill with heat or freezing. Mad cow disease came from farmers feeding cows body parts of other animals. Whoever thought that was a good idea ought to be made to eat the tainted meat
Skull in Sky 4 years ago
You can destroy it by heating it to over 482 °C. It's not encephalitis per se since the cause is different. It's caused by prions (wrongly folded proteins that cause the same type of protein to fold wrong the same way). It's incredibly hard to get rid of since when the body does create the correct protein, it'll fold wrong when the prion is present. Also, many health insurances ask to this day whether the person has eaten some specific meats from some specific area in specific years to check against the risk of said person having the disease undiagnosed.

This isn't U.S. wide, it depends on your state. Sales taxes are determined at the state level, not the federal level. There is no federal sales tax in the U.S..
lara 4 years ago
Actually, there are federal "sales taxes." They are called "luxury taxes." An example of this is the luxury tax enacted by Congress in 1991. As economists Roger LeRoy Miller, Daniel K. Benjamin, and Douglass C. North explain in their excellent book The Economics of Public Issues, Members of Congress were looking for additional revenues to reduce the federal budget deficit. What better way to raise the hoped-for revenues than with new taxes on on the purchases of high-priced luxury items, such as big boats, expensive cars, furs, planes, and jewelry. After all, rich people don’t really care how much they pay, right? So Congress passed a 10 percent luxury surcharge tax on boats priced over $100,000, cares over $30,000, aircraft over $250,000, and furs and jewelry over $10,000. The federal government estimated that it would rake in $9 billion in extra revenues over the following five-year period. Yet just a few years later, the luxury tax was quietly eliminated.

Your eyes can't track horizontally smoothly. Unless you are tracking a moving object. Then it looks smooth. They move to different points and your brain adds a "motion blur" to reduce the effect. You can see this by trying to smoothly look from side to side on a wall. You should see little skips. You can see this in other people easier. Also your eyes roll in your head and stay upright/ stay level to a certain point when you tilt your head. You can actually go look in a mirror and sorta see the effect.

The title of the movie and the novel “Trainspotting” is a reference to an old pastime in which people would keep logs of the unique, named locomotives that passed through their towns.
