Publish Not your original work? Add source Hang on to your hats, Pandas, because we're going for a wild ride today. Down, down, down, deep into the Lands of Knowledge where we'll visit the Caverns of Curiosity and the Tundra of Tantalizing Trivia. Prompted by redditor u/da-genius-kid, internet users have been sharing some incredibly intriguing facts about the world. And some of these facts and tidbits of trivia, shared on the r/AskReddit subreddit, might just blow your mind and make you see the world in a different way. Scroll down, have a read, and remember to upvote the facts that you personally found to be the most interesting. Got any cool ones to share that we might have missed? Let us know in the comments. I reached out to Steven Wooding, a member of the Insitute of Physics in the UK, as well as a member of the Omni Calculator Project that creates cool things like the Weird Units Converter, for a chat about fact reliability, avoiding stagnation, and what features a true scientist must have. He told Bored Panda that curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness are all very important for researchers. "Scientists have to be curious about how the world works and persistent in their work, as it may take years for it to pay off. Creativity to imagine what might be possible and attention to detail to gain knowledge are also very important," he told me. "We have to be open-minded to new facts and let data guide the way, rather than just what we think. On the other hand, we should also be critical of data. One experiment doesn't make a fact. A fact comes from experiments that can be repeated and verified many times over." This post may include affiliate links. #1 Male reindeer lose their antlers in the winter but females don’t.

View more comments Steven, from the Omni Calculator Project team, agrees that our attention spans appear to be getting shorter with the advent of platforms like Twitter and TikTok, as well as newsfeeds. "If you feel you are time-pressured, it's probably only natural that you don't want to invest a chunk of time on one article but instead scan the headlines to get lots of little bits of information. I have certainly noticed myself being less likely to read a long article unless it's something that genuinely interests me," he explained that our natural interests, as well as our desire to save our time and energy limit how much attention we give to each and every bit of news we come across. Unfortunately, this means that some of us tend to stay at a superficial level. "The negative impact is that we won't reach a deeper level of understanding of something and end up missing out. This is ironic, as people today rush around trying not to miss out on things," Steven explained. #2 Natural redheads (of which I am one) have a genetic resistance to anesthesia + unusually high tolerance for pain.

Anyway, that’s why I always had a terrible fear of the dentist; they’d give me the normal dose of novocaine, then think I was lying when I said it didn’t work. Fun times!

"It's essential to have a growth mindset and realize that you probably know very little. We can only gain more profound knowledge of the world by investing time in exploring it. This issue goes back to short attention spans, which gives us a broad, but shallow spread of knowledge. Take the time to read a book on a subject, and you are bound to learn more," he suggested that we find the patience to delve deeper into a subject. #4 Most people know that dogs have a really good sense of smell, but I recently did some research into the full extent of it.
40% of the brain goes entirely to their sense of smell. They have a completely different organ that is designed purely to take in the smell, separately from the oxygen they breathe (unlike humans, we process it together).
To put this into perspective, we can taste a teaspoon of sugar in our coffee. They could smell a teaspoon of sugar inside two olympic sized swimming pools.

View more comments However fun the internet might be, we should still be aware that some information out there is spread to bamboozle us. An expert told Bored Panda just last week about the red flags each and every one of us should watch out for. "Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, 'this can't be true,'" Mike Sington, an entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert from Los Angeles, who knows how social and traditional media works, explained to me earlier. He told Bored Panda that the reliability of information has suffered because of how popular social media has become. "The rise of social media has decreased the reliability of information because misinformation can spread so quickly before it can be corrected," he said. #7 Cats don't meow to talk to other cats they use different language for that They meow to talk to us Winter-Rip7364 , unsplash Report Final score: 212points POST Robert Martens Robert Martens Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago I knew it !

If you can't find any additional sourcing or evidence, remain skeptical. "Do this and think before reposting or you may be contributing to the problem. Amplification doesn't make a claim true or accurate," he said. The sources that the expert trusts the most include Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times. "They employ fact-checkers and editors that ensure the information they post is correct. They're basically doing the research and homework for you. There are literally too many online sources to list that can't be trusted and should be avoided. Anyone can basically post anything they want… proceed with caution," the expert warned. #10 Diamonds aren't valuable nor are they rare.

"The good news is there's plenty of long-form entertainment and news available, you just have to seek it out. I believe the benefit is worth it.

If you want the exact same apple, you have to cut a branch off the existing apple tree and graft in onto another tree GlutonForPUNishment Report Final score: 147points POST Osgood_7 Osgood_7 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Farmers have to do this to get good tasting apples because apple trees have self-self recognition genes, so if pollen from let's say a Macintosh lands on another Macintosh, the second will recognize that they share too many genes and the physical tube that takes the pollen to the ovum will not form. So in order to fertilize the Macintosh tree so the delicious Macintosh fruits can form, you have to fertilize using pollen from another type of apple tree with different enough genes to register as non self to the Macintosh tree. The apple that forms on the Macintosh tree is still fully a Macintosh apple, but the *seeds* inside that apple are a Macintosh hybrid. The problem is that hybrids are really gross, so the hybrid seeds are useless. 12 12points reply View More Replies...

It is commonly known that negative messages in the morning can cause people's day to be ruined, and can heavily influence mood and work ethic. With my research and experiment, I found that the opposite is also true. You see, the problem lies with the different brain waves as you wake up.
I'm no psychologist, and this paper was written a senior seminar ago, so I don't remember the waves exactly. The important part is that there are four waves your brain releases depending on consciousness. Going through all four are very important for your mental well-being. By looking at your phone in the morning, you skip from the forst to the last wave, which leaves you mentally and emotionally vulnerable.
As I mentioned, however, the opposite is true. I used a test group of 5 people, who all had diagnosed depression and/or anxiety, as well as one participant having no history of depression or anxiety. Every night, at around 3am, I would send them a text message personalized to each of them, with positive messages assuring them that they'll have a good day and that if times are hard, the best they can do is try their hardest. I put a lot of effort into these, and every week I checked in on them, taking into account changes in their personal lives.
When I connected all the data, what I found was that all the people with anxiety and depression had significantly better work ethic, and took more initiative to solve their problems. They also noted slightly lowered levels of anxiety, and thought of self harm were lowered, too. As for the participant who had no mental health problems, he noticed a general increase in positivity and work ethic, as well.
So I guess of you have someone who's been really down lately, and you love them, send them a text for when they wake up. The effects needed about a week to set in, and they cap out at around a month and an half in from what I noticed. This is not a cure to depression and anxiety, but it is a small thing that someone can do for a loved one.
It's this study that has made me realize that I want to use my computer science degree to help people's mental health, and why I decided to get my masters in computer science, and get a degree in Psychology while I'm at it. Technology had proven itself to be bad for humanity's mental health, and it's time someone tried to fix it. I don't think I'm that man, but I'd sure as hell like to help pave the road for the guy that is.

Publish Not your original work? Add source Hang on to your hats, Pandas, because we're going for a wild ride today. Down, down, down, deep into the Lands of Knowledge where we'll visit the Caverns of Curiosity and the Tundra of Tantalizing Trivia. Prompted by redditor u/da-genius-kid, internet users have been sharing some incredibly intriguing facts about the world. And some of these facts and tidbits of trivia, shared on the r/AskReddit subreddit, might just blow your mind and make you see the world in a different way. Scroll down, have a read, and remember to upvote the facts that you personally found to be the most interesting. Got any cool ones to share that we might have missed? Let us know in the comments. I reached out to Steven Wooding, a member of the Insitute of Physics in the UK, as well as a member of the Omni Calculator Project that creates cool things like the Weird Units Converter, for a chat about fact reliability, avoiding stagnation, and what features a true scientist must have. He told Bored Panda that curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness are all very important for researchers. "Scientists have to be curious about how the world works and persistent in their work, as it may take years for it to pay off. Creativity to imagine what might be possible and attention to detail to gain knowledge are also very important," he told me. "We have to be open-minded to new facts and let data guide the way, rather than just what we think. On the other hand, we should also be critical of data. One experiment doesn't make a fact. A fact comes from experiments that can be repeated and verified many times over." This post may include affiliate links. #1 Male reindeer lose their antlers in the winter but females don’t.

View more comments Steven, from the Omni Calculator Project team, agrees that our attention spans appear to be getting shorter with the advent of platforms like Twitter and TikTok, as well as newsfeeds. "If you feel you are time-pressured, it's probably only natural that you don't want to invest a chunk of time on one article but instead scan the headlines to get lots of little bits of information. I have certainly noticed myself being less likely to read a long article unless it's something that genuinely interests me," he explained that our natural interests, as well as our desire to save our time and energy limit how much attention we give to each and every bit of news we come across. Unfortunately, this means that some of us tend to stay at a superficial level. "The negative impact is that we won't reach a deeper level of understanding of something and end up missing out. This is ironic, as people today rush around trying not to miss out on things," Steven explained. #2 Natural redheads (of which I am one) have a genetic resistance to anesthesia + unusually high tolerance for pain. I guess the latter is to compensate for the former?
Anyway, that’s why I always had a terrible fear of the dentist; they’d give me the normal dose of novocaine, then think I was lying when I said it didn’t work. Fun times!

"It's essential to have a growth mindset and realize that you probably know very little. We can only gain more profound knowledge of the world by investing time in exploring it. This issue goes back to short attention spans, which gives us a broad, but shallow spread of knowledge. Take the time to read a book on a subject, and you are bound to learn more," he suggested that we find the patience to delve deeper into a subject. #4 Most people know that dogs have a really good sense of smell, but I recently did some research into the full extent of it.
40% of the brain goes entirely to their sense of smell. They have a completely different organ that is designed purely to take in the smell, separately from the oxygen they breathe (unlike humans, we process it together).
To put this into perspective, we can taste a teaspoon of sugar in our coffee. They could smell a teaspoon of sugar inside two olympic sized swimming pools.

An expert told Bored Panda just last week about the red flags each and every one of us should watch out for. "Red flags to watch out for that a claim may be fake: it's outlandish, it's too good to be true, you haven't seen the claim anywhere else, you've never heard the source, the source isn't reputable, you can't find two other sources making the same claim, your gut tells you, 'this can't be true,'" Mike Sington, an entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert from Los Angeles, who knows how social and traditional media works, explained to me earlier. He told Bored Panda that the reliability of information has suffered because of how popular social media has become. "The rise of social media has decreased the reliability of information because misinformation can spread so quickly before it can be corrected," he said. #7 Cats don't meow to talk to other cats they use different language for that They meow to talk to us Winter-Rip7364 , unsplash Report Final score: 212points POST Robert Martens Robert Martens Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago I knew it !

If you can't find any additional sourcing or evidence, remain skeptical. "Do this and think before reposting or you may be contributing to the problem. Amplification doesn't make a claim true or accurate," he said. The sources that the expert trusts the most include Associated Press, Reuters, and The New York Times. "They employ fact-checkers and editors that ensure the information they post is correct. They're basically doing the research and homework for you. There are literally too many online sources to list that can't be trusted and should be avoided. Anyone can basically post anything they want… proceed with caution," the expert warned. #10 Diamonds aren't valuable nor are they rare.

"The good news is there's plenty of long-form entertainment and news available, you just have to seek it out. I believe the benefit is worth it.

If you want the exact same apple, you have to cut a branch off the existing apple tree and graft in onto another tree GlutonForPUNishment Report Final score: 147points POST Osgood_7 Osgood_7 Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Farmers have to do this to get good tasting apples because apple trees have self-self recognition genes, so if pollen from let's say a Macintosh lands on another Macintosh, the second will recognize that they share too many genes and the physical tube that takes the pollen to the ovum will not form. So in order to fertilize the Macintosh tree so the delicious Macintosh fruits can form, you have to fertilize using pollen from another type of apple tree with different enough genes to register as non self to the Macintosh tree. The apple that forms on the Macintosh tree is still fully a Macintosh apple, but the *seeds* inside that apple are a Macintosh hybrid. The problem is that hybrids are really gross, so the hybrid seeds are useless. 12 12points reply View More Replies...

It is commonly known that negative messages in the morning can cause people's day to be ruined, and can heavily influence mood and work ethic. With my research and experiment, I found that the opposite is also true. You see, the problem lies with the different brain waves as you wake up.
I'm no psychologist, and this paper was written a senior seminar ago, so I don't remember the waves exactly. The important part is that there are four waves your brain releases depending on consciousness. Going through all four are very important for your mental well-being. By looking at your phone in the morning, you skip from the forst to the last wave, which leaves you mentally and emotionally vulnerable.
As I mentioned, however, the opposite is true. I used a test group of 5 people, who all had diagnosed depression and/or anxiety, as well as one participant having no history of depression or anxiety. Every night, at around 3am, I would send them a text message personalized to each of them, with positive messages assuring them that they'll have a good day and that if times are hard, the best they can do is try their hardest. I put a lot of effort into these, and every week I checked in on them, taking into account changes in their personal lives.
When I connected all the data, what I found was that all the people with anxiety and depression had significantly better work ethic, and took more initiative to solve their problems. They also noted slightly lowered levels of anxiety, and thought of self harm were lowered, too. As for the participant who had no mental health problems, he noticed a general increase in positivity and work ethic, as well.
So I guess of you have someone who's been really down lately, and you love them, send them a text for when they wake up. The effects needed about a week to set in, and they cap out at around a month and an half in from what I noticed. This is not a cure to depression and anxiety, but it is a small thing that someone can do for a loved one.
It's this study that has made me realize that I want to use my computer science degree to help people's mental health, and why I decided to get my masters in computer science, and get a degree in Psychology while I'm at it. Technology had proven itself to be bad for humanity's mental health, and it's time someone tried to fix it. I don't think I'm that man, but I'd sure as hell like to help pave the road for the guy that is.
Tldr; encouraging messages to be read as soon as someone wakes up is a great way to slightly help someone through their mental health problems ChulainnRS Report Final score: 115points POST Mazer Mazer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago (edited) A better way to reduce depression is to actually help people to find and keep adequate and affordable basics like education, housing, health care, mental health care etc etc etc and a way to help them meet their basic needs. Words are cheap these days. Telling someone they are worthy and yet if that persons life is filled with no way to obtain the basics, then this is a bit like sending a person with stage 4 cancer, a get well card. 10 10points reply View More Replies...

UCLA’s freshmen team beat the undefeated varsity team by 15 points with a young center named Lew Alcindor, later changing his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. mattpo1018 Report Final score: 84points POST v v Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago That seems to be a lot of words to say that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played on a team that defeated an, as yet, undefeated team. 6 6points reply View more comments #37 The microgravity in space can cause an astronauts blood to run backwards DavosLostFingers , The New York Public Library Report Final score: 82points POST Marcellus the Third Marcellus the Third Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago The eye problems are the most striking: Astronauts leave with 20/20 vision (and otherwise in optimal health too), but over half have noticeable eye problems (headaches and farsightedness) when they return after 6+ months --- one came back with 20/100 vision after half a year; this is an obvious problem for a trip to Mars.
