Tell me a random fact.

I’ll start. The most efficient predator on earth is the dragonfly. It has a hunting success rate of 95%, far outpacing the average 25-30% of literally every other predator on the planet.

Hawaiian pizza was created in Ontario, Canada, by Greek immigrant Sam Panopoulos in 1962.
Zaphod42 · 46-50, M
@TurtlePink The Hawaiian pizza was also named after the brand of canned pineapple he used when making it.
@Straylight No a genius, Hawaiian pizza is so good?
@TurtlePink I learned this on an episode of teen titans go lol

Wow, I never knew that.

It's a misconception that "crazy" people can't know they're crazy. The awareness of one's own mental state is called insight, and its level varies from person to person, crazy or not crazy. A schizophrenic person [b]can[/b] know that they have schizophrenia and that they're currently hallucinating. The frequency of that is a whole other story, though.

How did they find your fact out? Did they interview dragonflies?
Straylight · 31-35, F
@SinlessOnslaught Studied them I guess. I was watching a video about them. They’re also the most efficient fliers with unique wing and muscles even for a flying insect.

@SinlessOnslaught The Bee from Honey Nut Cheerios interviewed the Dragonflies in the Honeycomb Hideout!

Riding a roller coaster could help you pass a kidney stone 😬

@TurtlePink Do they DRIVE [c=A69800][i]that Fast[/i][/c] ?
@Valerian At Cedar Point there's one where you're hitting 65 mph at the bottom of the first hill, & I'm sure they have faster ones now.

@TurtlePink That’s so weird.

Finger nails actually don't grow after you die.
Straylight · 31-35, F
@TurtlePink I guess that makes sense. But dying doesn’t cause the body to immediately shut down. You can find skin cell growth over an hour after death.
TurtlePink · 22-25, F
@Straylight this what it says [quote] To grow, these must have a steady supply of glucose, which is cut off after the heart stops beating, preventing any further growth. In fact, the skin around the hair follicles and nails dehydrates after death and partly retracts, which can make them appear longer.[/quote]
Valerian · 100+, M
@TurtlePink Then trimming 🙌 them after death 💀 to foil CSI:New Orleans' 🕵🏼‍♀️👮🏻‍♂️🕵🏿‍♂️ Investigation to throw those guy off track wouldn't work?

Daddy long legs are among the most poisonous spiders. However, their fangs aren't long enough to penetrate human skin.

I try and stay clear of them, just in case they ever evolve.

There are no records of a single person being killed or seriously injured by piranha fish.

Pluto technically isn't even a year old.

[quote] Pluto was discovered on February 18th, 1930. It is the farthest (dwarf) planet from the Sun, requiring it to go a much farther distance than we are used to on Earth. It takes 248 Earth-years for Pluto to complete one rotation of its own around the sun. This places Pluto's first birthday since its discovery on Monday, March 23, 2178.[/quote]

I’m drumk, and this thread is freaking me out!
In 1992 a cargo ship en route to the U.S. from Hong Kong lost a shipping crate containing twenty-eight thousand rubber ducks. Thanks to ocean currents the rubber duckies have been found on shores from Alaska to Australia. As of July 2021 not all have been recovered.

Has anyone ever been bitten by a dragonfly? They land on me all the time but I’ve never heard of someone getting bit.
Firegod74 · 46-50, M
@Straylight apparently they can but their pinchers can't get through our skin
Firegod74 · 46-50, M
@Valerian they land on me all the time. I must taste good.... or attract bugs.

The word “accounting” comes from the french “compter” meaning to count or score. Other accounting terms are derived from Latin, such as “debit” – “he owes” and “credit” – “he trusts”.

@TurtlePink I have to fact check you now. 🤣
the deadliest blizzard on record ripped through Iran in 1972. it left 4,000 people dead and wiped 200 villages off the map.

Police car lights are red and blue because of the way the wavelengths of light work. Blue is direct and sharp. Red because of its amplitude can get around particles like fog or smoke. So in good weather or bad, one of those wavelengths will get your attention. Firetruck have red lights of course because they have to pierce the smoke.
