fun facts

The saying "you learn something new every day" may not always feel true, but on Twitter, that's definitely the case. People are very eager to share surprising and little-known facts that blow their minds - whether they're political or about something as trivial as the flavor of green Haribo gummy bears. These facts might not be revelatory for everyone, but they definitely aren't common knowledge. And it's nice to make that brain feel a little bigger.

We've been seeing a lot of wholesome content lately. It makes sense. When the world feels bleak, most people need a little positivity to remind them that even the pain is temporary. This post is not for these people. Reddit user u/mc_gnome took to r/AskReddit requesting people share some 'unfun facts' on the thread. The responses weren't just 'unfun,' they're actually mind-blowingly morbid and depressing. But some people, like us, enjoy learning of the cruelty of nature. And these posts are for you.

They say that what you don't know can't hurt you, but after you read enough, you kind of come to the conclusion that that's totally untrue. There are a lot of unknowns out there that can absolutely hurt you, and there's a lot of things out there that will just make you feel bad to know. For other facts, here are wild sex facts to quote during an awkward silence and some happy facts to counteract all the messed up ones.

Found on every continent except Antarctica, donkeys are some of the most well-bred and well-known animals in the world.

But how much do you know about these surprisingly deep and intelligent creatures? 

Here are some fun facts you probably didn't know. 

We're sure you are fascinated by all things nature, just like us. 

So we have put together a list of fascinating facts about animals we're sure you'll want to share.  

The beaver may be the national animal of Canada but the furry dam-building rodent can be found across the North American continent and Eurasia as two distinct species, but the population has been on the decline for several decades now. International Beaver Day, celebrated every year on April 7th, aims to celebrate and raise awareness of the plight of the rodent.

We thought it is a great opportunity to learn some more about how exactly did Canada pick the beaver as its national symbol. 

Twitter users are busting out their favorite fun facts. The world is filled to the brim with facts that blow the mind. Kind of cool that those Apollo astronauts' footprints will stay on the moon for around 100 million years. 

Some people suggest that these historical "facts" are not facts at all, and instead exaggerations on the truth. We haven't researched them ourselves, so we can't confirm or deny whether they're true or not. That being said, we appreciate this Tumblr thread making "history" fun to read about. 

Twitter user @MsPackyetti kickstarted a viral thread with people sharing their favorite random facts. Fun facts can serve as a very effective means to break the ice at the next stuffy social gathering, or just as a way to expand your mental horizons. Definitely had no idea that the act of "cheersing" mugs comes from medieval suspicions that people were trying not to get poisoned, and would thus reassure themselves by spilling their drinks into each other's. Wild stuff, man.
