35 Of The Weirdest, Maybe Useless, But Interesting Facts To Know, Shared In This Online Thread

checked it out! zero regrets other than I wished it was longer

That is freaking adorable!

It was so cute!!!

Maybe like a tiger receiving medical treatment? The vet shaves the spot the IV goes. Either that or someone hunted and skinned a tiger.

OMG post and lmk if that works! I'll make all my chipmunks SO HAPPY

Even I want to play with it

Would a hamster wheel not be a little small for a chipmunk?

Or those annoying neighborhood kids!

That sounds like an excellent way of drawing every snake in a squeaking distance radius.

Yeah, the "plate laying on an angle" kind are better. Sorry, don't know the word for that kind.

Is this why my cat comes into the bathroom … to reassure me?

Standing up? Sorry…

On command? That's really what the saying means. Race horses are trained to pee on command (usually someone whistling) after a race in order to have it collected for drug testing. And her kidneys really don't have an impact on how much she pees. Maybe she just has a very large bladder? ;)

That's not how multiple kidneys work. Kidneys get rid of excess water. So you don't create more pee based upob the number of kidneys. In addition most of the time those multiple kidneys are smaller and dysfunctional.

Her blood must be CLEAN

Doesn't change the size of her bladder, tho.

Through a gigantic penis?

What is it with these things? I was born with 1 that functions at 20% and one that functions at 80%. I guess altogether I have 1 functioning kidney!

You mean like a Donkey Gurl?

What? Standing, out in the middle of a pasture?

Racehorses p**s on command-

Hi Nice Beast Ludo, as you can see from my answer above I know a bit about this :) my transplanted kidney is where most are put: they make an incision in the lower front of your torso a couple of inches above your groin and to one side. Mine is just above my left hip joint. It sits in there, close to the urinary tract and bladder. It is well protected there, if you think about that area if you bend over or bring your knees up it's shielded by the rest of the body. No squishing involved.

Chomp

You wouldn't say that to his face

Lol!

Check out "petrichor" its the scientific name for the smell of approaching rain.

Actually, people can. Maybe not us in the developed nations. Yet, in Africa (like in Burundi) , where people (the nomads specifically ) depend on rainfall for their herds, they can smell the rain coming way in advance. Wouldn't be surprised if other indigenous people like Masai or Maori also can.

Neither can sharks... if you put one drop of blood in water it's not like all of a sudden all the sharks within that distance come to you. This is about concentration and how thin spread out it can be. By the way it's the same with the smell of cut grass / plants. No surprise, in former times that meant that prey was near. In our modern world where this skills are not needed any more, combined with complete sensory overload from all the chemicals and exhaust fumes in the air, oh and perfumes, those horrible mucus burning things which give you instant warning not to date that walking weapon of mass destruction, but it's too late the damage is done... you just lost your abilities to smell fine nuances by a single attack. But if born in or living long enough in clean air people can develop them again to be sensitive to much smaller concentrations.

Distilled water doesn't have an odor and rain is distilled water. Other things do have odors, and rain drops can absorb those things or disturb them so that they move around in the air. The comparison with sharks is utter BS, although a few people with sensitive noses can smell the *effects of rain* from significant distances.

Exactly
