The chip on my shoulder wants to rattle off a litany of facts related to women's health, but I imagine this was intended to be a lighthearted post so I'll grab my popcorn and wait to see what others share

the wave-particle duality in quantum mechanics

Sharks are older than trees

All the planets in the solar system can fit between the earth and the moon

Also trees existed before bacteria did. So when a tree died it just fell over and sat there for a while. Never decomposing

Something like a fifteenth of all humans who have ever lived are alive today.

I am the sexiest person you have ever met in your life.

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the solar system.

:P

Why do people ask questions like this?

Pigeons make milk.

If you do not vote, you support political parties that you do not agree with at all.

The earliest trees evolved around 400 million years ago.

The ancestors of bacteria were unicellular microorganisms that were the first forms of life to appear on Earth, about 4 billion years ago.[23] For about 3 billion years, most organisms were microscopic, and bacteria and archaea were the dominant forms of life.

Yeah, I was quick in writing that comment

To whom?

Facts

I have nipples. Can you milk me?

That's insane when you really think about it.
I doubt we'll ever leave our system

Sharks are older than fire.

Sharks existed before there was enough O2 in the atmosphere to sustain a fire.

The moon is currently drifting away from the Earth. Eventually, that will make total eclipses impossible, so enjoy them while they last.

Fast forward a few billion years, and the Sun begins to swell up, engulfing the closest planets. At some point, the atmosphere of the Sun could begin to cause drag on the Moon, slowing it down. If so, the Moon begins to crash down on Earth. Once it reaches the Roche limit, it gets shredded into kwazillion bits, and the Earth will have rings, just like Saturn.

Wild fires must have been insane.

That's neither scientific or real.

Toads swallow food with their eyes. When they snag some food into their mouth they close their eyelids, and their eyes go inside and help push food down the throat before coming back up to the front of the head.

Australia is wider than the moon. If earth had the size of a football (soccer), the moon would be about 7m away. If the sun had a diameter of 1m, Neptune would be 5.6km away. In that scale model, the next star would be placed in the outer planets. Space is insanely big.

You can't just tease us like that and not deliver...

I wanna hear all of them!

Not a fact. If it was, the de Broglie-Bohm theory wouldn't work.

If you count Voyager, we already have.

Otherwise ... Yea, I'll be surprised if society in general even makes it to 2100 unscathed.

Support? No.

Accidentally help gain traction/control? Yes.

I do not support the weeds taking over my garden. Though failing to fight them will still result in weeds all over my garden.

Wrong community.

Red grapefruits were originally created by planting yellow grapefruit near a radioactive source with the express purpose of creating mutations in the plant.

Listicles?

"support" has multiple definitions. My chair supports me.

Someone standing on my shoulders is being supported by me whether or not I like the situation.

Glass is not a true solid.

Why do you lack basic curiosity?

Voyager is fantastic, but it’s still way, way closer to the solar system than anything else.

An excerpt from Wikipedia:

At this rate, it would need about 17,565 years to travel a single light-year.[78] To compare, Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun, is about 4.2 light-years (2.65×105 AU) distant. If the spacecraft was traveling in the direction of that star, it would take 73,775 years to reach it. Voyager 1 is heading in the direction of the constellation Ophiuchus.

Glass is absolutely a solid, the term amorphous just refers to the structure being non-crystalline. It's still a solid tho.

If we take your chair away, you fall. If we take you away, the person standing on your shoulders falls.

What happens if we take a non-voter out of the picture? Does that change the outcome in any way?

Yes, and they are still on a galactic orbit, not a solar orbit. They are, unquestionably, the first things we're sending off, regardless of whether they arrive anywhere substantial.

Which science class did you learn that science fact in? Chemistry? Physics?

If you took all the DNA from every cell of one person and laid it in a straight line they would die

There's more ships in the ocean by weight than there's fish.

[edit]

See my other comment below, probably more accurate to say the total weight of all ships is around the same as the total weight of all ocean fish.

I don't. I'm also not asking broad-ass questions like "how long is a string?"

These are reddit-style click bait engagement questions.

Time derivatives!

• Rate of change in position is called velocity
• Rate of change in velocity is called acceleration
• Rate of change in acceleration is called jerk
• Rate of change in jerk is called snap
• Rate of change in snap is called crackle
• Rate of change in crackle is called pop

For now…

Yes?

Chainsaws.

I was taught glass is a supercooled liquid. If you look at window panes that are over 100 years old they are thicker at the bottom than at the top because they slowly flow down due to gravity.

Chances are I've never met you

We were taught wrong. That is an artifact of how the glass was made.

Entropy is a record of everything that's ever happened in the universe. The units for it are Joules per Kelvin.
