Did you know...? (A thread for amusing TIL stuff)

[fishonjazz]

Here's a 'did you know':

That in 1976, the Soviets landed a spacecraft on Venus and sent pictures back? They landed again in 1982 and sent back more pictures.

It's an interesting juxtaposition with the assumptions of "if it were true, it would be on the news," or "if something were big and impactful, we'd know about it."

Definitely not impactful imo.
I know that fact not and has no impact whatsoever on me and I don't care at all.

That sneezing is much more complex of a thing you'd ever thought of?

I’ve always enjoyed a good sneeze. If I’m feeling one coming on, but won’t quite get there, I just point my nose at a bright light source.

I'm surprised they Mariah Carey isn't one.

Also, I ain't buying that kenny g did it. Top 40 basically means pop (popular) music. I have never been surfing through radio stations and happened upon a kenny g song. Never seen a kenny g video on MTV.

The others all make sense, including weird Al.

Also, I think Cher has had a #1 song on one of the Billboard charts in every decade from the 1960's to the 2020's.

When you lose weight where does most of the weight go?

Very few people get this right.

People generally guess that you pee and poop the weight away. Wrong.

Some think you sweat the weight off. Wrong.

You exhale the weight away in the form of CO2 after you burned the fat cells using a little O2 to get the fire going.

So if anyone calls you fat tell them you're not fat you're just sequestering CO2.

Heat and carbon dioxide. I tried to stop reading and guess before I got the answer in the post.



Hey I did pretty good. I also kind of cheated because I read about this recently.
