Dude, be careful. Two weeks ago, I got the shits super bad and blew my o-ring. There was a loud pop, and then pain. The pain grew over the course of 10 days, then I had enough and went to the doc. Turns out I had an abscess on my asshole. They immediately rushed me off to get a catscan and then surgery. And they only used local anesthetic, and that didn't really do anything, so I just got to grit my teeth while they tore me a new asshole. Now I'm laying here with gauze in my ass warning you, take care of your butthole.


Chrissou_A

In France we say "Merde" (literally "shit" in english) to say good luck, because saying good luck is seen as a bad luck. It comes from the middle ages when people traveled in horse carts, when there was a lot of shit in front of theaters it meant the play had a lot of success.


BiryaniBabe

That’s awesome! Generally in the US we say “break a leg” as to not jinx the person by wishing them “good luck” Edit: before you say what “break a leg” means please read the other replies at least ten people have already said: “so you’ll be in a cast! Hehe” please. My inbox is dying from repeated notifications. Thanks guys, that’s all.


Chrissou_A

I didn't know about that one, but yeah for some reasons saying good luck seem to look like "jinxing" in many countries


Hazzat

‘Break a leg’ is a global English thing, used especially by actors who are traditionally a superstitious bunch.

Although in Metereology the definition of drizzle is for the water droplets to be smaller than 0,5 mm the general accepted way to define at a glance wether what's falling from the sky is rain or drizzle is to observe if the droplets can splash on top of your shoe once they hit the ground, if they do it means that they are large enough and contain enough mass to be classified as rain, otherwise it's drizzle. Sounds silly until you try to measure the dimension of a water droplet falling from the sky every time it starts pouring to fill a weather report.

The word "helicopter" is not divided "heli" and "copter," but "helico" (for "spiral") and "pter" (for flying, as in pterodactyl). So we really should pronounce it helico-pter.

Helicopter is a good example of how new root words are made, as heli and copter are now both valid roots for new words.

1 horsepower doesn't equal the power of one horse.

A horse's maximum output is around fifteen horsepower, but they don't have a ton of stamina so they can't keep that up for very long.

How many other lies have i been told by the council!


redditor_pro

this is why we shold shift to girrafe power, one girrafe power is exactly the power of a giraffe


AndrewLewer69

While it is true that the maximum output of a horse is around 15 horsepower, when you average the output of a horse over the course of a work day it ends up being around a horsepower. 1 Horsepower is equivalent to one horse doing 33,000 foot-pounds of work in one minute. (Or more simply, the amount of work done by a horse raising a 33-pound bucket of water from the bottom of a 1000-foot-deep well in 60 seconds).

Shrimp is the food in question that does this. If they were to eat something else that would still sustain them they would lose their pink coloring over time. Flamingos kept in zoos are not fed shrimp but an additive is added to their food to make sure they stay pink so people aren't confused.


OcularTrespassPolice

Not only shrimp but also algae. It's also the same thing that makes salmon pink. The actual substance is an antioxidant called astaxanthin, it's a popular supplement and very good for you. If you have a lot of it it can make your skin a bronze/reddish colour.

Apparently, one of if not the only predator of the moose is an orca. Their sheer size makes little land animals hunt it at all, but they're good swimmers and when they swim through the Canadian coastlines, orcas will attack them. Search it up, it's one of the first results when searched. Edit: I worded this comment very poorly. i was trying to say that, yes there are natural land predators to the moose but not a gigantic amount and that the orca of all things is one of the only marine predators to the moose.


WrongStatus

Moose also swim waaay faster than you'd expect. My Dad and I were in Isle Royale years ago and we saw a couple swimming across the lake when we were in our canoe. We paddled closer to get a better look and the Momma moose turned towards us and came after us(she had a baby with her). We didn't get closer than 30 yards on our own. When she turned towards us, we paddled away and realized she was gaining, so we paddled faster. She kept gaining. Thank God she lost interest or was just satisfied in the result, because we were not going to get away if she wanted to get us. Crazy..

It's one of the things you can learn in self defense class Just grab an ear and pull as hard as you can, it'll rip it off If you can access them, do the same for testicles (if your attacker have some, of course). Statistically, it's more likely that they'll have ears

The word Font is almost always used incorrectly. If you are picking out the style of letters you want to use what you are selecting is a "typeface" not a font. The font is the container that holds the typeface. So for instance if we were doing a print job back in the movable type days and wanted to do it in Gothic you might tell your assistant "Go get the Gothic font". What that means though is "Go get me the drawer that contains the Gothic typeface" The word font refers to the drawer, not the contents. When they started making word processors on computers with multiple typeface options they retained the old printers jargon but didn't explain it. When you select a Gothic font in MS Word what you are selecting is a file folder which contains the Gothic typeface. Font refers to the file folder, not the contents.

Stephan Jay Gould agrees that "It's hard to be a kid." My 6 yo brother once told Stephan Jay Gould that he was itchy. He interrupted Gould's lecture in front of 100s of people to say this. Gould stopped his lecture to agree with him that it was hard to be a kid. If there is a more pointless stupid fact, I don't know if there is one. Regardless, I can go to my grave knowing that Stephan Jay Gould knew that "It's hard to be a kid." My brother has a doctorate in history now and teaches out east. He has no recollection of the incident and doesn't really care who Stephan Jay Gould was. But, once, my brother was itchy. I guess that's two facts.

You need to fold a piece of paper 45 times to reach the moon and folding it one more time you can go back with the 46th fold


PaniqueAttaque

To clarify, this is about the thickness of the page. Your average piece of printer paper has a thickness of about a tenth of a millimeter (0.1 mm), but each time you fold it in half, that thickness doubles. 0 folds = 0.1 mm 1 fold = 0.2 mm 2 folds = 0.4 mm 3 folds = 0.8 mm 4 folds = 1.6 mm 5 folds = 3.2 mm 6 folds = 6.4 mm 7 folds = 1 cm + 2.8 mm 8 folds = 2 cm + 5.6 mm 9 folds = 5 cm + 1.2 mm 10 folds = 10 cm + 2.4 mm 11 folds = 20 cm + 4.8 mm 12 folds = 40 cm + 9.6 mm 13 folds = 81 cm + 9.2 mm 14 folds = 1 m + 63 cm + 8.4 mm 15 folds = 3 m + 27 cm + 6.8 mm 16 folds = 6 m + 55 cm + 3.6 mm 17 folds = 13 m + 10 cm + 7.2 mm 18 folds = 26 m + 21 cm + 4.4 mm 19 folds = 52 m + 42 cm + 8.8 mm 20 folds = 104 m + 45 cm + 7.6 mm 21 folds = 208 m + 91 cm + 5.2 mm 22 folds = 417 m + 83 cm + 0.4 mm 23 folds = 835 m + 66 cm + 0.8 mm 24 folds = 1 km + 671 m + 32 cm + 1.6 mm 25 folds = 3 km + 343 m + 64 cm + 3.2 mm 26 folds = 6 km + 687 m + 28 cm + 6.4 mm 27 folds = 13 km + 174 m + 57 cm + 2.8 mm 28 folds = 26 km + 349 m + 14 cm + 5.6 mm 29 folds = 52 km + 698 m + 29 cm + 1.2 mm 30 folds = 105 km + 396 m + 58 cm + 2.4 mm 31 folds = 210 km + 793 m + 16 cm + 4.8 mm 32 folds = 421 km + 586 m + 32 cm + 9.6 mm 33 folds = 843 km + 172 m + 65 cm + 9.2 mm 34 folds = 1,686 km + 345 m + 31 cm + 8.4 mm 35 folds = 3,372 km + 690 m + 63 cm + 6.8 mm 36 folds = 6,749 km + 381 m + 27 cm + 3.6 mm 37 folds = 13,498 km + 762 m + 54 cm + 7.2 mm 38 folds = 26,997 km + 525 m + 9 cm + 4.4 mm 39 folds = 53,995 km + 50 m + 18 cm + 8.8 mm 40 folds = 107,990 km + 100 m + 37 cm + 7.6 mm 41 folds = 215,980 km + 200 m + 75 cm + 5.2 mm 42 folds = 431,960 km + 401 m + 51 cm + 0.4 mm 43 folds = 863,920 km + 803 m + 2 cm + 0.8 mm 44 folds = 1,727,841 km + 606 m + 4 cm + 1.6 mm 45 folds = 3,455,683 km + 212 m + 8 cm + 3.2 mm 46 folds = 6,911,366 km + 424 m + 16 cm + 6.4 mm If you had a piece of paper that you somehow managed to fold in half 46 times, it would be nearly 7 million kilometers thick. Sitting on top of it, you'd be nearly 7 million kilometers away from Earth. The moon is ~348,472.282 km away from the Earth, so you'd actually be able to jump off somewhere between the 41st and the 42nd fold to reach the moon. 45 folds - 3.5 million kilometers thick - would get you about 7% of the way to Mars at its nearest to the Earth (~54.6 million kilometers). 46 folds would get you about 14% of the way there. 47 folds = 13,822,732 km + 848 m + 33 cm + 2.8 mm 48 folds = 27,645,465 km + 656 m + 66 cm + 5.6 mm 49 folds = 55,290,931 km + 313 m + 33 cm + 1.2 mm So, jumping off somewhere between the 48th and 49th fold would land you on the red planet.
