As the title says...

In 1947, Canadian kids far and wide went on strike because chocolate bars had gone up in price by exactly three cents (which was actually a lot of money at the time).

I have nothing in mind rn, but I'm watching the topic til something pops up :p

Canadian children lololol

It was all a plot by Willy Wonka, I bet.

In Canada there is a law that says if you went to prison at any point you can ask for a loaded gun and a horse to run away. Not sure why they think that's a good idea, but it exists.
Reminds me of the law in Chester (England) that basically allows you to murder people with a bow and arrow after midnight.

It's still a thing, but obviously overruled by murder laws LOL.

https://neocities.org/ hosts many beautiful, light websites that don't follow the ugly, web 2.0 aesthetic you get in most of the standardised aggregators you spend your life in. Have a look at their Fruitger Aero Archive and other websites.

Now that's the "awesome facts" part!
 
Phosphorus was discovered by alchemist Henning Brand while he was trying to turn led into gold... By peeing on it.

That's actually how we discovered metal purification, too.

In fact, a hell of a lot of human progress was spearheaded by the universal needs of getting rich fast and taking leaks.

Now let's talk about some scienceeeeeeee and shit. lol

• The British Royal Family is actually German. (WAS IST DAS MATE!!! lol)

• Colour doesn't exist, it's just a different way our brain reacts to different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.

• No one perceives the reality as it is. We only comprehend how brain makes sense what it picks up via sensory organs. It means we don't really see the same shit. Brain just generates a reality like a dream but when you are awake it generate this "dream" you call real life by using your concious mind and data from sensory organs. It means we are constantly being caught between illusions - what we can be "sure" - delusions that's why always think twice and never break young girls' hearts heee heeeeeeeeeeee uuuuuuuuuuuu!!! lolol

• You actually living in the past because it takes time for your brain to process all that shit. So if you wanna be fast don't wait for sensory feedback to do whatever you wanna do next, put the task in motion and let your body so shit even if it is too fast for your mind to follow up. (Damn input lag yo!!! lol)

• You cannot feel the current temperature, your body only reacts to gaining and losing heat.

• Temperature is actually because of the movement of atoms and shit and thus they generate kinetic energy. So, for example, when you touch iron and it's hot, it means "your vibration" is less than the vibration of the iron so you feel it as hot, and what you feel is gaining the vibration from the iron. If you were vibrating more than the iron you would feel cool, because you would lose kinetic energy to iron. (I'm not a cold person, Karen, you just vibrate way more than me!!!!!!! lolol)

• Not everyone taste the same despite they eat the same due to genetical differences.

• Space is not empty, it's filled with tons of shit but most importantly it's made of quantum fields. For example when gamma rays being gamma raying it excites da electron field and then "electrons pop out" as a physical manifestation of the electron field.

• For existence to have a mass they have to interract with Higgs' field so why photons have no mass is because they ignore existence of Higgs' field like the popular girl in high school ignored your existence lol.

• Existence exists in spacetime. When energy activity in a relatively small area in space gets too much in party hard mode they curve spacetime around and then inward to source of the mass. For example Earth goes straight from A to B but due to sun's gravity that A to B being looped to B to A to B to ∞. So it means as you get near to higher gravity zone the spacetime curve degree of that area gets inward which we call "gravity".

• "Gravity" is just the curved spacetime and therefore it makes objects that has the less mass gain potential energy towards the center of the extreme mass so the act of falling is when potential energy turns into kinetic energy towards "down" and it makes you "fall". In reality it's more like moving according to how spacetime is curved by following its path.

• Because spacetime is made of 4 dimensions including time being the 4th, when spacetime curved time is affected too.

The shit is like as extreme energy activity increases the existence starts to lag in that area in space and because of it it cannot process its shit fast enough to make spacetime remain flat, so it process itself as fast as it can and therefore the curve depends on how much existance can process itself in every frame rate of existence and that's why as you get to center of the extreme energy activity the time gets slower.

It can make you think "dude are we living in computer simulation" but nope, it's more like as activity increases it takes more time to make stuff happen so it naturally curves the spacetime and slows time too.

• Why spacetime being curved slowing time is speed of light cannot reduce, so spacetime stretches itself as much as the stress needed to make speed of light being constant in ratio of how much energy activity pressure curves the spacetime. So that's why when I'm in the center of a black hole it takes forever for me to see a clock moves 1 more second despite its visual still travels in speed of light. Spoiler alert: Its visual never reaches my eyes because spacetime curve gets infinite like infinite mom's spaghetti lolol.

• Well I know heads are being exploded now so let's talk about something simple like how life happens?: Well life happens when a chemical system created by abiogenesis due to autocatalysis and it can inherit information and a subject of Darwinian evolution. Simply means life comes from stuff that doesn't live. It kinda answers the stupid question of "Did a chicken came first or the egg?". By knowing how life is you can say there was a time when a life form produced the first egg and so on, and then a life form started to give birth despite it came from an egg. This is evolution yo.

• For some reason in schools, in sci-fi movies and legacy media they give too much importance of "dude if we find oxygen on a planet and water for sure there is life" but first life form on Earth couldn't exist if Earth had the current oxygen level it has now. First anaerobes came and oxygen was toxic to them which is why they died eventually. Oxygen is a stuff that causes great unstability in chemical system due to high and fast change it causes but because of it and then it's a great energy source Oxygen is a great ingredient of how to cook up a complex life form yo. Mamma mia.

Well it was the end of my TED talk!!!

Boy, do I have a fun one.

In English the verb 'hang' is generally treated as an irregular verb with both its past tense and past participle being 'hung'

There is, however, one exception to this rule where it becomes a regular verb with the good old -ed suffix as far as grammar is concerned - when you talk about hanging people.

We hung a picture on the wall.
We hanged Edward.

Both of these sentences are grammatically correct and the form of 'hang' used in them is not interchangeable. One can only wonder how common hangings back in the day were for this to happen.
 
I don't think people realize that the names of each day of the week have connections to Roman and Norse gods.

This video speaks for itself. I just want it known that someone actually accomplished this

This kind of shit is 0.1% reason of why I call English "rocket science language" and the hardest language I learned so far lolol.
 
Fun Fact:
Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) and New Mobile Report Gundam Wing (1995) both premiered on the date April 7 of their respective year.
 
Lobsters are biologically immortal.
They don't exhibit typical aging signs, and instead often die when moulting because it takes more and more energy each time because it makes them grow, and they'll eventually reach a point when moulting will kill them due to exhaustion.
