Crazy factz ;pyet another 5

1-The Pentagon was constructed with twice the number of bathrooms needed for the number of employees because segregated Virginia at the time required separate facilities for “white” and “colored” persons.
2-Steve-O was a clown and graduated from Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College.
3-Brazil is number 2 over all in the world at producing models after the US. Rio Grande do Sul represents 5% of Brazil’s population but produces more than 50% of its models. The appeal of the region’s inhabitants is attributed to the historical migration of Germans and Italians.
4-In 2016, a woman bought a $10 scratch-off ticket to show her husband that lottery tickets are a waste of money. The ticket turned out to be worth $1 million.
^^^They are though, just funny
5-Italy is giving away more than 100 historic buildings – including castles, houses, and towers – in a bid to boost ‘slow tourism’ and tempt visitors away from the overcrowded city centers. To get your hands on the sites, you need to have a clear plan of how they’d be transformed into a tourist facility. Successful applicants will get the rights to the property for nine years, with the option to renew the contract for a further nine. And entrepreneurs with a proposal for turning the sites into a tourist facility could be given a 50-year lease in some cases.

5 FACTS ABOUT BUXTON ONTARIO (I live a country block away, won't say which block just in case)

1-The development of the community in Buxton Canada was rapid. There were many families who lived here within few years after the first settlement. They planted crops, built houses, cleared the land and lived here with families.
2-The community was also filled with churches and schools too. Now there are around 400 people who live in Buxton.
3-In 1863, Buxton was visited y the head of American Freedmen’s Inquiry Commission too. The commission was formed after the Emancipation Proclamation by President Abraham Lincoln. During the civil war, many slaves in America south were freed.
4-The peak population of Buxton Canada reached 2000 people. Most of them were the descendants of the fugitive slaves or freed slaves from America. They reached Canada through the Underground Railroad.
5-In 1838, the slavery in Canada was eliminated by Great Britain. Therefore, slavery never affected Canada.



South Buxton also has a dirt race track, it's cool but sucks when you want to go to sleep early, they're pretty loud.

None of the pics work for the racetrack dammit, oh well

I'll join, for a short bit. My quads will go back up soon. My arms are poverty AF.

Naw man, no poverty detected, not like mine are huge either. K, gonna see if bullneck is gonna join too, will put in sig shortly.

I see Jaden offing himself later in life. I hope he has a shrink. 100% srs

More cool space facts

1-Because of lower gravity, a person who weighs 100kg or 220lbs on earth would only weigh 38kg or 83lbs on the surface of Mars.
2-Scientists believe there are 67 moons that orbit Jupiter, however only 53 of these have been named.
3-Venus is the only planet that spins backwards relative to the other planets.
4-Uranus’ blue glow is down to the methane in its atmosphere, which filters out all the red light.
5-Because of its unique tilt, a single night on Uranus lasts for 21 years!

Thomas Edison did more than just invent the lightbulb

In his 84 years, Thomas Edison acquired a record number of 1,093 patents (singly or jointly) and was the driving force behind such innovations as the phonograph, the incandescent light bulb and one of the earliest motion picture cameras. He also created the world’s first industrial research laboratory. Known as the “Wizard of Menlo Park,” for the New Jersey town where he did some of his best-known work, Edison had become one of the most famous men in the world by the time he was in his 30s. In addition to his talent for invention, Edison was also a successful manufacturer and businessman who was highly skilled at marketing his inventions–and himself–to the public.

THOMAS EDISON’S EARLY LIFE
Thomas Alva Edison was born on February 11, 1847, in Milan, Ohio. He was the seventh and last child born to Samuel Edison Jr. and Nancy Elliott Edison, and would be one of four to survive to adulthood. Thomas Edison received little formal education, and left school in 1859 to being working on the railroad between Detroit and Port Huron, Michigan, where his family then lived.

Did You Know?

By the time he died on October 18, 1931, Thomas Edison had amassed a record 1,093 patents: 389 for electric light and power, 195 for the phonograph, 150 for the telegraph, 141 for storage batteries and 34 for the telephone.

During the Civil War, Edison learned the emerging technology of telegraphy, and traveled around the country working as a telegrapher. He had developed serious hearing problems, which were variously attributed to scarlet fever, mastoiditis or a blow to the head. With the development of auditory signals for the telegraph, Edison was at a disadvantage, and he began to work on inventing devices that would help make things possible for him despite his deafness (including a printer that would convert the electrical signals to letters). In early 1869, he quit telegraphy to pursue invention full time.

EDISON’S EMERGENCE AS A LEADING INVENTOR
From 1870 to 1875, Edison worked out of Newark, New Jersey, where he developed telegraph-related products for both Western Union Telegraph Company (then the industry leader) and its rivals. Edison’s mother died in 1871, and that same year he married 16-year-old Mary Stillwell. Despite his prolific telegraph work, Edison encountered financial difficulties by late 1875, but with the help of his father was able to build a laboratory and machine shop in Menlo Park, New Jersey, 12 miles south of Newark.

In 1877, Edison developed the carbon transmitter, a device that improved the audibility of the telephone by making it possible to transmit voices at higher volume and with more clarity. That same year, his work with the telegraph and telephone led him to invent the phonograph, which recorded sound as indentations on a sheet of paraffin-coated paper; when the paper was moved beneath a stylus, the sounds were reproduced. The device made an immediate splash, though it took years before it could be produced and sold commercially, and the press dubbed Edison “the Wizard of Menlo Park.”

EDISON’S INNOVATIONS WITH ELECTRIC LIGHT
In 1878, Edison focused on inventing a safe, inexpensive electric light to replace the gaslight–a challenge that scientists had been grappling with for the last 50 years. With the help of prominent financial backers like J.P. Morgan and the Vanderbilt family, Edison set up the Edison Electric Light Company and began research and development. He made a breakthrough in October 1879 with a bulb that used a platinum filament, and in the summer of 1880 hit on carbonized bamboo as a viable alternative for the filament, which proved to be the key to a long-lasting and affordable light bulb. In 1881, he set up an electric light company in Newark, and the following year moved his family (which by now included three children) to New York.

Though Edison’s early incandescent lighting systems had their problems, they were used in such acclaimed events as the Paris Lighting Exhibition in 1881 and the Crystal Palace in London in 1882. Competitors soon emerged, notably George Westinghouse, a proponent of alternating or AC current (as opposed to Edison’s direct or DC current). By 1889, AC current would come to dominate the field, and the Edison General Electric Co. merged with another company in 1892 to become General Electric Co.

EDISON’S LATER YEARS AND INVENTIONS
Edison’s wife, Mary, died in August 1884, and in February 1886 he remarried Mirna Miller; they would have three children together. He built a large estate and research laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey, with facilities including a machine shop, a library and buildings for metallurgy, chemistry and woodworking. Spurred on by others’ work on improving the phonograph, he began working toward producing a commercial model. He also had the idea of linking the phonograph to a zoetrope, a device that strung together a series of photographs in such a way that the images appeared to be moving. Working with William K.L. Dickson, Edison succeeded in constructing a working motion picture camera, the Kinetograph, and a viewing instrument, the Kinetoscope, which he patented in 1891.

After years of heated legal battles with his competitors in the fledgling motion-picture industry, Edison had stopped working with moving film by 1918. In the interim, he had had success developing an alkaline storage battery, which he originally worked on as a power source for the phonograph but later supplied for submarines and electric vehicles. In 1912, automaker Henry Ford asked Edison to design a battery for the self-starter, which would be introduced on the iconic Model T. The collaboration began a continuing relationship between the two great American entrepreneurs. Despite the relatively limited success of his later inventions (including his long struggle to perfect a magnetic ore-separator), Edison continued working into his 80s. His rise from poor, uneducated railroad worker to one of the most famous men in the world made him a folk hero. More than any other individual, he was credited with building the framework for modern technology and society in the age of electricity.

A Man Fires a Gun at a Fridge Filled With Explosives and Is Almost Killed

Some guy fires a gun at a refrigerator that's in a field and filled with explosives. He's behind a tree, which is smart, because the fridge's door is catapulted right at him and is stopped by a large branch.

A Man Reunites With a Huge Condor That He Rescued as a Baby

There's video out of Argentina of a huge condor that comes back to visit a guy who saved its life when it was a baby. The guy scratches its head and neck as if it's his pet . . . but the condor lives in the wild and is completely free.



And...

A lion embraces the man who adopted her, how cool would it be to have such a powerful bond with such a powerful animal?

Marshmello is an anonymous new producer putting out great music in the trap and future bass scene. As he himself has implied, that is all you really need to know about him; the artist has been pushing a “just enjoy the music, don’t worry about me” mantra since he first appeared.



I really like this music video

Not a bad group. I've heard it on Spotify and Prime Music. Goes well in the gym.

No one actually knows how Tylenol works. It just does.

The yearly flu vaccine is created by researchers that go out to the biggest pig herds in the world (almost always in china) and finding the most common strain and that is the strain they use.

Something doesn't add up, are you sure?









Thanks for coming out

Not bad to just relax and chill to but I don't think I would listen to it when working out, for that I need something AGGRESSIVE!

5 WHAT IF QUESTIONSANSWERED!

What if mosquitoes sucked fat instead of blood?

Well we would be a bunch of secksi bishes wouldn't we?
Lol, that one doesn't count, alright...

1-What if humans were twice as intelligent?

If humans were twice as intelligent as we are now, experts think we would be more fulfilled on an individual scale, as well as healthier, better looking and less religious. But people would still have a diverse range of personalities, and so society as a whole might be just as conflicted as it is today.

2-What if you only ate one type of food?

There is no one food that has it all. Choosing to eat only one fruit, or vegetable or grain would lead to organ failure. Consuming only meat would eventually force your body to start munching on your own muscles. And if you stuck solely to almost any single food besides fruit, you would develop a serious case of scurvy. All single-food roads lead to death.

3-What would happen if you shot a gun in space?

Guns can shoot in space, and this allows for all kinds of absurd scenarios. If you're in the vacuum between galaxies, pulling the trigger will send you and your bullet careening through space literally forever. If you shoot a gun in the solar system, your bullet will get sucked toward the sun or one of the giant planets. And if you shoot a gun toward the horizon while standing on a mountain on the moon, you could theoretically shoot yourself in the back.

4-What if there were no seasons?

If Earth's axis weren't tilted, there would be no seasonal variation, and humans would be confined to the continuous warmth of the planet's mid-section. We most likely would never have developed advanced agriculture, as most staple crops require cold winters, and would constantly be plagued by horrific insect-borne diseases. Forget the Industrial Revolution and the modern conveniences that sprung from it: Much of our technology has its roots in the existence of winter, because it is a by-product of inventions of new and better ways to keep warm.

5-What if humans had eagle vision?

If you swapped your eyes for an eagle's, you could see an ant crawling on the ground from the roof of a 10-story building. You could make out the expressions on basketball players' faces from the worst seats in the arena. Objects directly in your line of sight would appear magnified, and everything would be brilliantly colored, rendered in an inconceivable array of shades.

Good thread brah

- The first lighthouse was built in 1716 in the United States on Little Brewster Island. This lighthouse was destroyed during the Revolutionary War and was rebuilt in 1783 and still stands today.


- The combination of the colors Red and Yellow make people hungry. People also associate red and yellow with sales which is why fast food restaurants use those colors more. Customers associate the colors with less expensive or cheap. A fancy sit down dining restaurant on the other hand would never use those colors.

- A hive of bees must fly 55,000 miles to produce a pound of honey.

- The invention of the cat door is attributed anecdotally to Isaac Newton. He put one large hole for his cat and a small hole for her kittens.
