Not obscure but apparently a lot of people aren’t aware that sheep don’t have top teeth in front.
TIL. I’ve looked gift horses in the mouth but never gift sheep /s
The word “America” does not come from Amerigo Vespucci, but is likely an amalgamation of
the Mayan word “Amerristiquiqque” for “land where the wind blows constantly”, which is the name of a mountain range in Nicaragua, and the Spanish word “Rica” for rich, like in “Costa Rica” (Rich Coast) as Spanish sailors would ask Carib Amerindians where their gold came from.The smallpox blankets event happened before germ theory existed. The plan was based on miasma theory.
Dogs can’t look up
just because Big Al says so…
That’s sheep
When a drug company in the 80s scaled up production they accidentally created seed crystals that spread around the entire Earth’s atmosphere that prevented other companies from manufacturing a generic drug without it attaching to the seeds and converting to the patented drug.

Of course it was GSK with paroxetine
Ok, that’s absolutely bonkers
And it’s merely a hypothesis, there is no proof. Also we can assume that chemical plants are aware and have taken precautions, but it still happens. Back in the day it was speculated that chemists caried microcrystals around in their beards. This problem has been around for a while. One of the coolest hypothesis has been put forward by Rupert Sheldrake. He thinks that there is something in nature akin to memory. A force of nature as you will.

There have been 3 observed interstellar objects that passed through our solar system: Oumuamua, Borisov and ATLAS.
Eric Blair was a Trotskyist who wrote
Animal Farm and 1984 to spite Stalin,
as Stalin turned on Trotsky,
as Trotsky was a one-world-government proponent,
(with Moscow as its capital),
with the argument that capitalist nations would do anything
to isolate and destroy socialist nations,
whereas Stalin thought that socialism would bring the
Soviet Union enough success to defend itself.
This had far-reaching consequences for
Eric Blair who was participating in the
Spanish civil war of 1936 to 1939,
having joined the Trotskyist resistance group
and saw the Stalinists resistance group turn on them
and outright attacked them.You should read Grover Furr’s book on Trotskty’s collaboration with the Nazis.
Chinese scientists worked to create the “humanzee,” a human-chimpanzee hybrid in the '60s. Female chimpanzees were impregnated with human sperm. The experiment was cut short by the Cultural Revolution - the scientists were sent to labor camps and a three-months pregnant chimpanzee died of neglect. The Soviets attempted a similar program in the '20s.
Seriously find a source. a three month pregnant chimpanzee, pregnant with a humanzee, died of neglect? Sure, Humanzee experiments were attempted but because of how biology works, two species as different as a chimpanzee and a human cannot make children.
Peking (KNT) -Chinese at one time experimented with fertilizing a chimpanzee with human sperm in an attempt to create a “near -human ape,” and they may try it again. The chimp was three months pregnant before the first experiment was halted, one of the original researchers claims. Western science long has scoffed at such an experiment as medically impossible, but Dr. Ji Yongxiang says the research, if it ever resumes, has the potential to develop creatures with higher animal intelligence who could speak and perform simple tasks. A second researcher at the Chinese Academy of Science said there were plans to resume testing.
It is scientifically impossible for species as different as chimpanzees and humans to mate.
This sounds like a bunch of b***shit so I had to look it up. Seems like you’re actually right… 😳

it’s so easy to break into an apartment in south korea, any basement dweller can do this.
A lot of people know of the April Fools 418 I’m a Teapot error code, but did you know there’s a full Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol from the same RFC for running a coffee pot server? It even includes an HTCPCP method named “WHEN” to let the pot know it has poured enough cream.
the roslagsbanan commuter rail is the only actively used 2 ft 11 3⁄32 in railway in the world.
For a minute I thought that meant the railway was ~3ft long
2” x 4” construction timber is 1.5” x 3.5” because of industrialisation (not shrinkflation)
Much as a 12oz steak won’t weigh exactly twelve ounces when served to you after cooking them a 2x4 piece of wood was nominally that measurement prior to the kiln drying process.
It’s more that they used to be shipped 2x4 unfinished, and would be planed smooth on site. Once the equipment and distribution was able to do the planing before it got to the customer, they had so much established practice that the installed timber would be smaller, they had to keep to what people were used to.
Because of universe expansion. (I guess industrialisation also works)
xkcd?
