Whats the least fun fact you know?

70% of the worlds surface is covered in water. None of that water is fizzy. Therefore the earth is technically flat…

I’ll be my coat, no need to send the pitchforks.

Many people who die "of old age" have an utterly miserable time of it at the end, sometimes for months or years. Medical treatment to keep a person alive when they've already lost their faculties irrecoverably can be incredibly cruel.

There's a reason that longevity research focuses on prolonging healthy life, not just prolonging life processes.

"Stranger Danger" is largely a myth as the most likely place for a child to be abused is in their own home and the most likely culprit is a trusted family member.

Your eyes have “immune privilege” meaning your immune system effectively does not know they exist as it would attack them and make you go blind if it did.

There's tons of carbon frozen in Arctic permafrost. As the planet warms up, the ice melts, dumping more CO2 into the atmosphere and causing a runaway effect.

Statistically speaking, 30 of the dalmatians in the movie 101 Dalmatians were deaf.

That our memories are all we really know and have. They're also volatile, and are usually changed to support a narrative.

Be careful.

That there's notorious war criminals still alive such as Henry Kissinger that probably won't face any repercussions for their atrocities in their lifetimes.

Also there are billionaires and politicians in power that could easily at least start switching to clean energy and plastic alternatives but choose not to.

Fanta's creation was a result of American companies cutting off business with Germany during WWII. Coca Cola stopped sending ingredients to the local bottling plant in Germany but the ones there still wanted to work and make money. They took the ingredients they still had access to and made a new drink, Fanta! Once the war was over and Coca Cola made contact with them again they liked the new drink and just made it part of their brand.

I had to stop telling this normally as it tends to make people hate me for making them feel bad about drinking Fanta. I tell them it's fine. I drive a Volkswagen. But they still feel gross about it so I stopped telling people or at least tell them that they may not want to drink Fanta anymore and give them the choice.

A factoid is something that looks like a fact, but is not

There was once a study to test the amount of "poop particles" (feces based bacteria) on everyday objects. The study consisted of putting objects in places that would be more or less likely to have feces and a control group which was isolated from any source of feces based bacteria to the best of their ability. The microbiologists running the study were unable to tell which group was the control.

This is written to the best of my memory and some details may be wrong but the meaning is the same

There are more Panda Express restaurants than there are pandas.

The guy who shot john Wikes Booth was once solicited by prostitutes. He was so so appalled by his boner that he decided to castrate himself with pinking shears (scissors). He then goes to church and walks it off before seeing a doctor.

The real sad part is that he was undeniably driven insane by his work as a hat maker. Fur hats were shaped and then brushed with mercury, which led to hat makers getting mercury poisoning from the fumes.

Basically the poor guy melted his brain, chopped of his balls, enlisted into the union army and was forced to march on a boken leg, killed the most infamous man in the world, and was then locked up in an asylum.

Conditions on the road of bones in Russia were so bad that and it was so hard for them all to be taken to a cemetery that, for every meter of road, there's a body of an overworked road worker buried underneath the road. And the road never got to anywhere good.

Cats can't taste sugar.

Several (if not all) of the astronauts who died in the Challenger explosion probably didn’t die immediately. They likely remained conscious and aware for at least several seconds, and died on impact with the ocean surface.

That fairness doesn't exist, everyone has their own idea of it based on their background, experience and belief system.

I once, out of curiosity, mounted an expedition to the darkest regions of the internet, aka The Dark Web.

There's some shit there that can scar you for life. Don't ever go there, seriously.

You're never more than eight feet away from a spider.

The age of consent in Germany is 14.

Also applies to other countries in Europe iirc, but I can't confirm that because that's not something I'm willing to put in my search history again.

Edit: It's more complex than that, read the replies by @Mrs_deWinter@feddit.de and @Turun@feddit.de.

Genocides typically are never actually punished and their main perpetrators often get away with it.

If you rape someone in the U.S., your odds of going to jail for it are only 0.01% . A hundredth of a percent. 0.01 out of 100 rapists ever actually see jail or prison.

Everyone is eventually going to die.

As I get older I see more unfair aspects of the world

355/113 is the best fractional approximation of pi with less than 5 digits on both numerator and denominator, with 6 decimal digits of precision. It is constructed by taking the sequence of the first 3 odd numbers, each repeated exactly once, as such: "113355", then splitting the resulting string in halves, taking the first half as denominator, and the second as numerator.

A 4-set venn diagram can't be constructed with circles because it wouldn't show exclusive intersections between opposed sets.

A talks to B, B talks to C; A is married, C is not married. Therefore, a married person is talking to a non-married person.

Most of the computer users think the Internet is a synonym for Facebook.

There are physicist, respected ones, that believe the universe is deterministic. That we don’t have free will.

And psychologists that believe that feeling of consciousness is a result of the brain developing a self-supervising function for higher order thinking.

Essentially free will is just an illusion.
