Sometimes we don't realize how big the storage of our brains is. We might forget some facts or happenings now and then, but it's only natural when considering we have to digest new information every day! However, some snippets of knowledge appear to be unforgettable so that even the most random and useless thing might be stuck in your brain forever.

So, I got curious about what worthless bit of trivia or knowledge is forever stuck in our pandas' heads! Here's what people had to share.

Pineapple contains a chemical called Bromelain that deconstructs (and will eventually dissolve) proteins, including human tissue. So if you're wondering why it tingles on your tongue now you know (thankfully our stomach acid is strong enough to dissolve concrete so takes care of Mr Pineapple)

Some words are contranyms, meaning a word that has two different meanings that are the opposite of each other.

The three examples I know are:
Cleave (can mean either to cling to or to separate from)
Left (can be used to refer to the part of a group that departed or the part that stayed. "Three sheep left the flock, how many were left?")
Off (can mean either to activate or to deactivate. "The alarm went off, so I turned it off.")

When they say "Be not afraid" there is a reason for it, and it's not because they popped out of nowhere in front of your face.

This is the first description of an angel that has made sense to me, but now I have more questions. Going by what you said, if they appear to be both beautiful and fearsome, do you think, if they do appear to humans, that their appearance can vary from human to human, depending on said human's disposition? If you're an evil person, would your angel come off as fearsome and terrifying, whereas a good human would get the beautiful image of that angel?

Many years ago, when wood was in short supply it was a common practice to dig up and reuse coffins.

Quite often the grave diggers would see scratch marks on the underside of the coffin lid, left there by someone who was buried but still alive!

This happened so often, in fact, that all newly buried people had a length of string tied to their finger, leading all the way aboveground where it was tied to a bell.

When someone buried alive would move their hand trying to desperately claw their way out, the bell would ring aboveground.

Those people were called "Dead Ringers".

The men hired to listen for the bells during the night were known to be working the "graveyard shift".

Not trivia, just a Spanish word my nutty, Mexican friend from college made me learn, for some weird reason. It's the word for "ear, nose and throat" - otorrinolaringologo. I've found myself repeating it over and over in my head whenever I'm in a lot of pain, especially with migraines. I don't do it intentionally, it just happens.

Kangaroo meat is very lean, practically no fat. Strong taste, needs careful cooking. Kangaroos are really very large rodents, and breed in massive numbers. In some places, the numbers of kangaroos get so great that their pressure on the environment places other native animals in jeopardy. Some species are 'endangered', but kangaroo shooters (professionals, who aim for 'clean' kills) don't target them. The much more numerous species are in no danger at all of being wiped out, or even put at risk, by the hunters.
