So I've been vegan for a year and I did not know that if a product says suitable for vegans it still may have been tested on animals which just seems completely misleading in my opinion.
I have been buying toilet rolls and it never even occurred to me that a lot of manufacturers use Gelatin to hold the paper fibres together.
Simple things are not easy merely because they are simple. Something can be very simple and very hard.
That's not exactly a shocking fact that I just discovered. I think I discovered it the first time I failed really hard at something really simple. I just keep having to re-learn it.

How much sugar a lot of the "100%" fruit juices have. I usually have a habit of mixing 1 part cranberry juice and 3 parts water in a 16oz glass. Even about 4-5oz of cranberry juice, I realized that's about equivalent to the sugar content of half a can of soda.
Our shower always had a glass door, so I wasn't used to using shower curtains. Whenever I stayed in motels, I kept the curtains on the outside of the shower so they would stay dry, but the bathroom floor always flooded, which was annoying. One day, my sister must have asked me about it, and then she told me they go on the inside of the shower and are supposed to get wet. The floor never flooded after that.
I love this; this is so sweet haha. Reminds me of a time when I put our clothes on an indoor clothes horse and put pegs on each individual item even though it was indoors; sometimes they fall off haha.
Some of these are mundane facts but some I find interesting.
That you can use vegetable oil on door hinges to get the squeaky noise out of them.
Apparently, spiders have brains in their legs.
If you live on a hill, it can't flood. Didnt know this until I moved onto a hill.
A car has a certain mileage limit. Thought they pretty much had no limit on them. If you don't put the gas on going up a hill it uses less gas and if you drive faster it uses more gas. And an AC doesnt make much of a difference with the gas.
Arthritis is worse for people in the Winter time.
Dogs and cats can smell cancer on you. But I'm unsure if cats can smell it.
Some tattoo ink goes into your bloodstream.
The part of your skin that ages the quickest are your lips, which I find weird.
Trees communicate through their roots and are actually pretty intelligent. Shocking fact to me at least.
Apparently, cockroaches taste like greasy, burnt fried chicken.

I always think it's a shame they couldn't have kept it on grass, Wimbledon can do it though you do have a really hot climate in Australia. I never find hard court tennis very interesting to watch. Anyway, the (to my mind) bloody stupid Brexit, caused quite a lot of discussion about how parliament works. At least I think it was in connection with Brexit, until it was mentioned on the radio a few years ago, I didn't know that, in the house of commons at least, they begin the day with prayers. Which are private and can never be broadcast.
^ I've never seen a tennis player get knocked out. I thought it was a relatively safe sport unless John McEnroe was involved and victimized another racket.

Knocked out as in losing the first match they play. Seems like a lot of money to me. At the moment we've got a huge pile of them locked in their hotel rooms in quarantine because of the virus. Bit of a mess really.
I like how this clip makes me feel like a perfectly rational human being. (in comparison to him.) I do think someone should speak to him about those shorts though - a bit too short if you ask me. :roll
I didn't know that people didn't know? About a governing A.I Computer that crashes airplanes, gives career, gives income, gives people sex, induce sexual behavior, cleans the environment, designs diseases, make people interact, give people dreams, gives people a mind. I didn't know that.
Must be the cryptographic keys from the translated human thoughts that hide mind information. NSA programmers sealed the deal!
I always thought that this was a type of seaweed but turns out it is empty whelk egg cases. I was down on the beach the other day picking up litter, the organisers said to bring gloves; I brought gloves but didn't use them. I had the litter picker anyway. Then when I saw something unusual I touched it with my hand. Then that night I watched a YouTube vid of this guy who got cut and had a barnacle growing in his hand 🙄😲😩 then I was like, I'm so gonna wear my gloves from now on. He was in agony.
I was getting my bike fixed today and mentioned that I've had a few locks seize up on me. I asked him if I should buy a new lock every two years or something or just oil them more. I really thought he was going to say the latter but he said to use graphite powder. He said I could buy it from locksmiths and that putting oil in the lock was probably the reason why it was not opening at all after a time. I'd never heard this before ever.
^ I have some graphite powder (I don't remember why I bought it). I never thought of using it on locks but it makes sense I guess. It's super messy though.
/\ I bought the graphite powder in February and used it yesterday for the first time. The nozzle is really narrow and I just gave it a really gentle squeeze on the bottle and a tiny bit blew out but it really works!
The average price of a Superbowl ticket this year was 7,000 dollars! That's mad isn't it? Especially when there is a good chance your team will lose and the half time show will be a major disappointment.
i found out there are bicycles with belt drives recently, from a comment on youtube. looks cool not needing lube or cleaning, but I have never seen one in my life.
Painting your room light blue so spiders won't come in. Light blue resembles the sky and that is a vulnerability for spiders because when they're out in the open they're vulnerable to attack. That's what an entomologist said yesterday on a radio programme; not sure if that would actually work or not. One thing's for sure the landlord wouldn't be pleased when he'd pop over to empty the electric coin meter haha. Apparently the males want to come in to find the female, that has been living inside all year 👀, so they can get it on and use the place as a little bit of a lurve shack haha.
