Useless Facts

Yagya Bahadur Katuwal can lick his ow n forehead.

 

His wife is a happy women.

 

That's great, but if he can't stow that tongue back into his face, well, he'd certainly have a licker problem!

 

One human requires seven to eight trees to survive a year.

Be good to trees, without them, we're fucked.

 

If one person lived to be 80, they'd need at least 560 trees for their lifetime.

I'd love to own a piece of land, just to plant loads of trees. Or buy a forestry. Either or.

 

Jim Carrey's stunt double!

 

Wellcome to Finland. We have couple of trees. We keep them company.

 

Fun fact: To make sure you got me (3rd degree burn radius) from the point that my IP appears to be centered on, you'd need an approximately 2.4 megaton warhead, detonated at five kilometers up.

That might be overkill.

EDIT: Forgot to include the casualty figures: 1.8mn fatalities, 3.8mn injuries.

 

A lot of the technology seen in video games such as Call of Duty actually exists. It just isn't widespread because it is too costly or difficult to build/maintain/distribute/train-soldiers-to-use

Edit: An example would be the Exo-Cloak ability seen in COD: AW. In theory we could do it, because it's literally just projecting your surroundings onto yourself to blend in, like in Predator. However making a screen large enough to cover the whole human body, handle the movement of the human body, and deal with the abuse it would be taking as a stealth based tool, would be incredibly difficult to produce, and expensive to build.

 

What about algae @Moon? How much of that do we need?
Also, trees create more carbon dioxide than oxygen as they get older.

 

Algae and Plankton produce the highest percentage of oxygen,
compared to the rest of the plant life on earth.

 

Is it strange that I love you for knowing that?

 

The odds of guessing a randomly generated Ethereum (cryptocurrency) private key is 1 in 115 quattuorvigintillion , very roughly around the number of atoms in the universe.

 

So you're saying there's a chance! YEAHHHH!!!

 

During World War II, Hitler dropped more bombs on Malta than on London.

 

In addition to Oxygen, many trees produce hydrocarbons. The light haze above many forests is a natural smog.
Some rubber trees produce extremely high levels of hydrocarbons. It may be possible to genetically modify them to grow, at a high rate, as a combustible slime - refineable, renewable, more h/c energy than corn, continuously productive, no harvest. It may even be possible to put the refinement into the combustion cycle.
The self-contained Slime-mobile, the ultimate future of transportation!
This slime is also being considered as a way to sequester carbon at a high rate.

 

Why engineer slime to be fuel when you can skip a step and make it want to go where you tell it to when you lie down on it? Carpet all the roads with slime with programmable cilia, use the app on your smartphone, and away you go!

 

I'm not sure where to put this, so here it is. First, however, the relevant information from Wikipedia (retrieved 4/25/2019 at 2050 JST):

Looking at all the images I put in there, I'm going to spoiler-wrap it to protect people from mobile charges and plan data limits. Summary below if you don't want the pixshur version.

Spoiler: Lots of screenshots

Okay, this isn't a good thing to leave lying around. What's it made of? Let's see if we can get rid of it:



Dense, and unyielding to a drill. Whaddya think we should do, Yuri?





Yeah, let's just SHOOT the fucker and see what happens...

Okay, summary: When the Chernobyl nuclear reactor melted down, it created a substance called "corium," which is the melted contents of a nuclear reactor core (get it?). Uranium, control rod bits, melted concrete, glass, Valery Ilyich Khodemchuk... It's hard stuff, so when the Soviets discovered it, they wanted to see if they could get rid of it. It's also really dangerous, after 5 minutes exposure you've got a 50% chance of dying. So they tried to drill into it, but that didn't work.

Then somebody shot the mass of radioactive goo with an AK...

Russians...

 

If you can't get rid of it, shoot it, apparently. Cuz that always works in movies where freaky crap like this happens. The Blob, anyone? Remember that thing?

 

Of the surviving passengers of the Titanic, Elizabeth Gladys Millvina Dean was the last to be born. She was just nine months old at the time of the sinking. She also managed to be the last Titanic survivor to die in 2009 at the age of 97.

 

Some Finns have developed healthier potatoes. They have blue insides (potatoes, not developers). They are named Synkeä Sakari. (Grim Zachary.)

And when you want to have better potato chips.

 

Matey, that's purple.

 

Has anybody opened one up to check?
