My favourite fact about elephants is that looking at humans triggers the same response in elephants as is triggered in humans when we look at cute animals. The next time you're having a bad day, just remember that elephants think you are adorable!
Dave P 4 years ago
Elephants are known in the wild for their mourning procedures, including visiting graves to the day on the solar calendar the other had died (they must have a natural way of telling), etc. When Botswana had to cull a few specific herds for enviromental reasons they had to use huge teams to take out a whole heard in 2 seconds so spare any elephants the mental pain (the head ranger who had to lead the culling took his own life after it, he worked in protecting elephants for years, loved them, etc. He had to do it, but couldnt handle it)

Knowing obscure facts isn't just fun. It's also good for our mental health. For example, experts say that playing trivia games can provide a dopamine rush much like gambling, but without the negative effects.
Even if our trivia games differ, the benefits are there. Whether we're playing Trivial Pursuit at home or attending a pub trivia night, the basic premise remains the same: we experience the thrill of providing correct answers to questions about lesser-known facts.

"You get a rush or a neuroreward signal or a dopamine burst from winning,” John Kounios, Ph.D., professor of psychology and director of the doctoral program in applied cognitive and brain sciences at Drexel University in Pennsylvania, told Healthline. “I think whenever you’re challenged with a trivia question and you happen to know it, you get a rush.

As I sit working in the ColoRectal Surgeon's office and browsing Bored Panda, I am once more reminded EXACTLY WHY regular screening colonoscopies are vitally important. Chadwick lost his life to Colon Cancer. A young man but not the youngest I have seen fall to that horrific disease. Had it been found sooner, he might have had a better outcome and been here to share his talent much longer than he was. PLEASE know your family history and follow recommendations to get early and regular colonoscopies and other diagnostic tests. Doing so is truly the difference between life and death.
H Edwards 4 years ago
It's not that easy. Not everyone can afford to get regular screening for every possible disease. Here in the UK they won't give screenings for certain things unless there is a 'good' reason to do so. I have never had a colonoscopy or in fact any other diagnostic test, and unless I am getting some kind of symptom I don't suppose I will.

A girl at a party had accused Adams and his two friends of rape. Despite a witness statement that contradicted the accuser's story, Adams and his friends were arrested and charged with sexual assault. But they were all black and accused by a white girl of rape, so no matter what they said they weren't believed. After a mistrail because the girl kept changing her story, there was a retrail. And although you legally can't be trailed twice for the same offence Adams got wrongfully convicted to 28 years in prison.
Aragorn II Elessar 4 years ago
Actually, that didn’t violate the fifth amendment (double jeopardy). The purpose of that is to prevent people who got off from being convicted later for the same crime. The mistrial doesn’t count as a first trial, and a retrial was entered into in order to have closure on the accusations. People are regularly retried in order to prove their innocence, by their permission. You can’t be forced to stand trial multiple times in order to prove your guilt (you cannot be placed in double jeopardy of life, property, etc).

As far as I know (from my time in the Bundeswehr) the rules are a bit more complicated: A soldier may refuse to obey an order if he thinks it violates human dignity. But if the order is repeated he has to obey. This covers the fact that sometimes crawling through garbage may be essential for completing yout mission even if it hurts your personal dignity.But if an order is violating the law a german soldier is required to disobey.
Michelle The Zombey 1 year ago
It's even a bit more complicated than that; a German soldier is not only allowed to disobey orders, he is obligated to disobey any order that violate human dignity. It's a result from ww2, where many soldiers said they were just following orders. This has held up many times in civil court (Germany has no military court). Altho you can't if it just hurts your personal dignity like crawling through garbage to complete a mission, because that's another matter.

Hi! Dutchie here! This seems like a fairytale and all, and is partly true.. but the true reason is that the judge usually gives the criminals community service or closed treatment instead of jail time.

roepi 4 years ago (edited)
Bullshit. A life sentence in the Netherlands means you stay locked up untill you die unless you get a pardon by the king (through the minister of justice but the king has every right to refuse this even if the minister of justice is in favour of the pardon). Not many life sentences have ended in a pardon. The next longest sentence is 30 years imprisonment and that one rarely makes the full term as early parole at 2/3 of served time is standard procedure unless a prisoner realy f***s up. Such long sentences are rare though but so are crimes that warrant them.

"In typical people, my observation, not backed up by any research, is that their interest in trivia is confined to topics that they are generally interested in.

It would have never lasted that long if it wasn't kept turned on continuously. One of the biggest reasons filament bulbs burn out is the thermal shock of turning them on, not cost cutting. Interesting indeed, but not the really best example of "they don't make 'em like they used to."

As pointed out in MythBusters, who featured this light bulb when working on the myth of "Is it better to leave a light on or turn it off when leaving a room?", and only Grant was excited to see this bulb still lit after 100+ years. He was the best...

Not exactly, the thickness and materials of the filament were very expensive at the time (Adjusted for inflation would be paying $50 for a bulb), further the gave off very little light and wasnt practical. The cheaper brighter filaments were better for both economy purchasing as well as light. This was an expensive novelty item that wasnt practical. The only people who think what the description says are those who dont actually know anything about or understand how manufacturing works

Of course, it's completely understandable if the pandemic has drained your brain of the desire to learn and flooded it with boredom and tiredness instead. In an earlier Bored Panda interview, Lenore Skenazy, the president of Let Grow and the founder of the Free-Range-Kids movement, said that before we can become curious again, we have to do the hard part: get off the couch. Force yourself out the door. Why? Because beyond your four walls, things are never exactly the same. Weather, animals, people, sounds, smells, clouds—they’re all swirling about."

Not true unfortunately. Their wandering as you would imagine is far from aimless. Like any wild animal they do get themselves in some strange places, but generally boys find themselves a home range (which can cover several kilometres sometimes) and "patrol" for partners and to keep away rivals. Girls tend to either stick around close (enough) by to chosen mates (perhaps males they have mated with before) or they stay the hell away from boys as best they can. No such thing as love and romance for koalas, sex is loud, often aggressive and without pleasure.

We took a walk around our neighborhood and started looking for interesting details in the homes and buildings we passed. It went from a walk down streets we’d seen a million times to a sort of treasure hunt. And the big thing we were really hunting for? Curiosity! When you’re curious you’re alive again—noticing, thinking, making connections. You can’t do that if there’s no new information coming in. So your first step is to force yourself out of a rut by leaving the house (harder during the pandemic, but not impossible)."

As an Italian (but this is my personal belief, everyone is entitled to it's own) this is exactly something Mafia would do. It's something I know occurs in Italy on a daily basis. You see a quite common modus operandi is mobster would do something nice for the community or for specific people, so that the community in the area feels dependable. One well known method of recruiting in the mafia is: you have a problem, we send to you someone you know (and you don't know he works for us). Maybe a friend of a friend. He'll fix your problem for you. After time is passed this person asks for a little innocent thing like let's say "I'm sick can you bring this box to this adress? I can't move". After that he asks for more pressuring you on the favor he did awhile back and tells you that box you delivered was full of drugs/handguns so you're an accomplice. And that's it you're in a system you can't escape without hurting family and friends.

Another well known trick is that they do good things, like in this photo, for the community. Little things like (this is something it was said in the past "We slept without locking the doors of the house because there was 0 criminal activity in our town") protecting towns, organizing parties for all to come and enjoy, or helping family in need bringing them food. That is because people would be less inclined to talk to authorities about fishy things that went down. Keep in mind authorities in some areas are seen as the problem, as the one who can't keep you safe so you have to rely on someone else.

Following the discovery of Kato's body, two of his relatives were arrested in August 2010, and subsequently charged with fraud.[10] Prosecutors alleged that Michiko Kato, 81, Kato's daughter, and Tokimi Kato, 53, his granddaughter, fraudulently received about ¥9,500,000 ($117,939; £72,030) of pension money.[4][6] In addition, after Kato's wife died in 2004 at the age of 101, ¥9,450,000 ($117,318; £71,651) from a survivor's mutual pension was deposited into Kato's bank account between October 2004 and June 2010. Approximately ¥6,050,000 ($75,108; £45,872) was withdrawn before his body was discovered. Kato was likely paid a senior welfare benefit from the time he turned 70, which the family may also have used to their advantage.[5] Investigators said that the pair defrauded the Japan Mutual Aid Association of Public School Teachers, who transferred the money into Kato's account.[7] In November 2010, the Tokyo District Court sentenced Tokimi Kato to a 2½ year sentence for fraud, suspended

She's mentioned mostly in three Meccan Surahas (earlier chapters in the Qu'ran) and four Medinan Surahs (later chapters in the Qu'ran). The 19th Surah is Maryam, named after her. So a chapter of the Qu'ran rather than a book. Isa is a very important person in the Qu'ran, and is considered the penultimate Prophet and al-Massih - his role differs in that he is not considered the Son of God, nor did he get crucified in Islam. Mary, by being the pure virgin mother of Isa blessed to her by Allah, is considered as the greatest of all women.

If flying cars are ever to be a reality they have to autonomus (to get rid of unskilled operators and the problems they cause). Luckily it is much easier to make a plane fly itself (has practically been done for years) than it is to make a car drive itself. This is due to far less obstacles in the air, leading to a much simpler enviroment making the programming simpler. E.i. there are no pedestrians who suddenly walks in front of you, no roadsigns to be read, and you can always add an extra lane for overtaking since there is way more room in three dimensions than there is in two.

If 50% of the money stayed with middlemen, and each bundle of 100 $100 bills received a rubber band, based on a price of 31250pcs/$110 today adjusted to 1990 dollars ($0.001749/ea), that only comes to $468.76/month on rubber bands, unless he was buying them from his local office supplies store instead of in bulk.

To everyone arguing the price he spent on rubber bands, can we all agree that any amount EVERY month is too much? It's RUBBER BANDS!!! Who the hell buys rubber bands every month (and I'm not talking about business owners) lol so even if it were say, 100 a month on rubber bands, this tells me you have wayyyy too much money lol

He also had a private zoo at his home in Bogota Colombia. When his assets were seized in '93, the hippos escaped, bred out of control, and are now living predator-free in plague numbers.

I’m assuming Floyd had some sort of speech impediment and if so 50 cent was being a nasty bstrd, making fun of someone and pretending it would benefit a charity. I’m not up on stars lives.

Religious texts have been reprinted more times than humanity can document. I'm not sure about this "fact." If we look at the income of EVERY reprinting of The Bible from the last 500ish years, I have to assume that's made more money.

Good, no 4-year old should die. Also all these stories of Hitler being saved from one death or another, are there ever any sources that they happened?
Linus Nilsson 4 years ago
I googled, and there seems to have been a child saving another kid who fell into an icy river. Neither were named in the original article, but a local priest claimed to have been that child in the 1980's. No other sources have confirmed this. This article needs a good fact-check

Read a similar story, don't know if it's true... A wealthy man's son nearly drowned and was saved by a farmer working near by. The wealthy man wondered how he could thank the farmer for saving his sons life, and the farmer asked for help to pay for his sons education. The farmers son was Alexander Flemming, the father of the Penicillin

Hitler was also a soldier during WWI. Allegedly, during the Battle of Ypres, a British soldier had him in his sights, but spared Hitler because he was already injured
AlmightyOne 4 years ago
I wonder if that soldier regretted it later on...

Ok so first, a priest saved Hitler when he was 4, then he was rejected from an art school, and then in WW1 a British soldier saved him by not shooting. WTF...

The average Amazon worker makes so little that they qualify for food stamps.
Lion's Stare 4 years ago
The average American does not make 60,000 USD. More like 52,000 USD. And this is misleading because of how people like Jeff Bezos skew it higher. Better to go by the average median wage, which is like 35,000 USD a year.

the value of Amazon as a corporation divided by the perctage he owns rises by that. That is increase in net worth, but not earnings in any way as the only way he can convert that to cash would take 5 years and 6 federal agency approvals. There is a different between earnings and increase is value of assets

For those that want to know... Lisa was a BBW porn actress who wanted to smash the record. There was a large group of men, some fluffers, an obscene amount of condoms & lube, and an official referee. The fluffers were to bring the men to the point of finishing, they would then quickly enter Lisa and a few thrusts later, withdraw. The men were cycled through as quickly as possible. The whole thing was captured on video and was later released as a documentary.

The previous woman to hold this record had just 20 willing partners and she cycled through them for the whole day. It may well be something similar in Lisa Sparks case.
