As grown-ups, we might remember a few things from our high school. How rain is formed in clouds, the life cycle of plants, and the properties of magnets. While these tidbits of knowledge are quite fascinating, there’s so much bizarre information out there that we still haven't learned.
We stumbled upon the X page called "Weird Science" which shares intriguing science facts about mystifying creatures, railroads, and everything in between. They have something for all the curious minds out there, including hilarious memes. So Pandas, grab some popcorn and get ready to be amazed by these outlandish facts. Who knows, maybe you can impress others with this mind-blowing trivia.

Slow blink. If you slow blink at a domesticated cat and they mirror you, this shows their affection towards you.
I'm guessing it's because it would block the sunlight from getting to the ground hence nothing would grow?
The water level now is higher than in Mesoamerican times. You can find their camp fires on the bottom.
Exactly how did you study this? Threw a big party for a flock of seagulls?
Photo is misleading, either fixed or a forced perspective with diver far behind the fish.
Which always makes me wonder why traditionally, humans serve them milk or cream as a "treat."
Orangutans are revealing themselves to be so much more intelligent than humans dreamed. Maybe they'll be the first to throw the tablets away.
Yeah it takes a while to turn my wife on. Uh… I’ll see myself out.
Not lava, but ignited volcanic gases. The blue colour is from the chemical compounds that are burning, not because of the temperature.
I wish I could go to the toilet once a week and lose about a third of my body weight 😩
And how can the Monarch butterfly be able to know where its going?! Wiki:"This is a multi-generational migration, with individual monarchs only making part of the full journey." 😯
Did you know if you immerse yourself in it and breathe in, you can die?!!!
Dolphin fights are responsible for most of the scarring on dolphins. One particular species, Risso's dolphin, is usually head to tail covered in scars from dolphin fights. A few other dolphin species are the same.
I just looked to the scientific paper on that. It is apparently... false. None of the gut bacteria have a circadian rhythm. So far the only bacteria found to have a circadian rhythm are the blue-green algae that presumably are responsible for the circadian rhythm in plants as they became the chloroplasts.
Recently, giant viruses have been discovered that are larger than bacteria. Even the COVID virus, when you count its projections, can reach 200 nm in diameter, which is getting up in size towards the smallest bacteria. Giant viruses get up to 500 nm in diameter. Small bacteria are 200 to 300 nm in diameter. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_virus
Here's one my friend told me. There are more tigers in Texas than all of Africa. (It's true. Mostly because tigers live in Asia, not Africa 🤣)
There are apparently more captive tigers in the US than wild tigers in the world, which is pretty startling - and *possibly* more just in Texas (estimates vary dramatically).

Fact checking a few reveals some untrue posts and a some just partially true posts, as usual for content scraped from X-creta.
