When the great pyramids were being built there was still woolly mammoths walking the earth.
I have many but they only come out when I absolutely do not need them.
The last grandchild (i.e. no “greats”) of John Tyler, the tenth president of the United States, died in 2025. For comparison, Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president in the 1860s.
I learned Calculus from one of them.
While dinosaurs roamed the earth, flowers had not yet evolved into existence.
So that means all those illustrations with big exotic looking flowers is a lie. Just like that image of Jesus riding a small broncheosaurus.
But giant insects were definitely real back then.
Chronologically, Tyrannosaurus rex was closer to humans than to sauropods.
If sound could travel through space, from the distance we are to it, the sun would be as loud as a jackhammer everywhere on the planet, all the time.
The most efficient base is e, cosmologists describe the big bang as a rapid expansion of spacetime that doesn't say anything about it being the beginning of time it's just the furthest back that can be currently measured, and the egg came before the chicken.
The theme song for the game Civilization IV is The Lord's Prayer is Swahili.
Humans can’t feel wet, what we’re actually feeling is cold. It’s why when you have a cold patch on a blanket or carpet you can’t quite figure out if it’s wet or not.
It's actually an even greater level of abstraction: we feel the rate of heat flow through our skin. This is (kind-of) why plastic feels warmer than metal. Colder things don't feel colder because they are colder. Colder things feel colder because they more efficiently sap heat from our skin. Wet things feel colder because water and other highly conductive fluids which have wet the skin (and are thus in direct contact with it) are much more efficient in removing heat, thus feeling colder. This is the twofold reason why oil doesn't feel as cold as water: it has significantly worse heat conductivity, and it doesn't readily evaporate (as evaporation is a highly endothermic process, sapping heat even more efficiently than a conductive liquid on its own.)
Useless knowledge.
When playing Mechwarrior 2 on a Windows 2000 system, make sure to change your video mode to 32bit color.
I'll throw in a useful tip too!
You can buy USB foot switches for your computer and assign keystrokes and other functions to them.
Almost feels like cheating when you are playing a tactical shooter and can lean left or right and strafe on demand without crossing any controls. Having microphone activation, map, inventory, or any number of misc actions boud to a foot pedal makes a huge difference in your ability to play a game.
The people who got anime to take off in the US are the same people who started the furry fandom.
The Superman symbol was based off of the symbol for a sci fi fan club.
Conventions, and sci fi as we know it, are because of one electronics magazine.
Fake raspberry flavour comes from Beaver anal glands.

The moon of course causes the tides, but the tides are also causing the moon to drift away from earth.
And the moon drifting away is stealing some of our rotational energy, making the days longer.
We're also lucky to be on this planet during the time the sun and moon's apparent sizes match. Being able to see a total solar eclipse where you can see immediately around the sun without needing a spaceship might be incredibly rare in the universe. Though total solar eclipses in general are pretty common, assuming our gas giants' accumulation of moons is typical for giant planets, they'd happen any time the moon passed through the giant's shadow.
Mitochondria are actually parasites with their own genome and means of replicating. They will even actively defend their turf when other intracellular parasites appear.
During the medieval period there was no currency used throughout the whole of Germany. Most used the Silver Penny (Pfennig) but there were different types with a different value (amount of silver in them) that also changed over time (some were more stable, some changed every year). People were obligated to exchange old coins for the new ones and part of the exchange was held back by the people in charge (the so called Schlagschatz). Also people coming from a different location were obligated to exchange their coins or silver bars to the local currency at the time. The exchange rates were quite different.
It was a complete mess. But somehow it worked.
The gorgeous Lunar Moth exits the chrysilys fully formed, without a mouth or other structure for the intake of nutrients. It only exists to fly and breed at that point and expires around a week later.
Multiple species have evolved into crab body plans, and only a subset of "crabs" are actually true crabs. For example coconut crabs evolved from a hermit crab ancestor. King crabs too.
The tendency to adopt the crab meta for your species is called carcinization.
