I love learning new things no matter how useless the information. So naturally I’ve decided to share them. My commentary is just there to fill in the space. There is so much more then what I’m gonna put in here but I’ll cut it down for length reasons. I might just have to make more entries of this “Weird facts” topic. And since I’m done with all the posted assignments for school for the next week, I got time… and holy crap, I just saw It's been 2 years since I've posted to this blog... I better get writing yo!
In Japan, there are more Vending machines than people: 23 to 1
I think I could just make a whole entry of all the interesting
and weird stuff in Japan. I’m not knocking Japan one bit… I love all the beautiful
and crazy shit that country has to offer, I mean that’s half my people and all.
All of it super fascinating to me.
But anyways, on with the list. Of course there’s the normal ones like sodas and candies and I’m sure there’s a whole lot more weirder ones then what I have listed here.
- milk
- ice cream
- beer and tobacco
- umbrellas
- flying fish soup
- crepe
- hot food
- ramen
- burgers
- bread in a can
- pantyhose
- hot canned soup
- condoms
- rice
- eggs
- fruit
- vegetable and salad
- reading glasses
- batteries
- surgical masks
One super weird one that got banned by their government was
used school girl underwear vending machines… Yes you read that right.
A Greek-Canadian man invented the pineapple pizza
No joke, on several occasions I did have people ask “why do you guys put
pineapple on your pizza?” Bruh! We never invented this shit! Just cuz there’s
pineapple on it and it’s called a “Hawaiian pizza” doesn’t mean the Hawaiians
came up with it. Some Greek dude that moved from Greece to Chatham, Ontario opened
up a pizza shop and during their experimental phase, put it on for fun to see how
it tasted and I guess it got a lot of takes, because you see it everywhere now.
Oh it’s pizza and I’ll still gonna eat the shit out if it, but it’s funny when people
order pizza for everyone and says “Skully! I got you your favorite pizza” aww
thanks you fuckin racist!… joking of course.
Pogonophobia is the fear of beards
So here are some reasons why people fear beards:
- they may have had a negative experience with a bearded person
- unfair stereotypes about people with beards
- misunderstanding cultural norms that require people to grow facial hair
- associating facial hair with illness or being unclean
Now that last one had some extra study attached to it. In a 2018
study they found that beards contained “significantly higher” amounts of
bacteria than dogs do. Yikes! But when groomed very well it looks so hot on
some dudes.
*so I googled "Hot guys with beards" for my picture that I wanted to put here and the first picture was of Hagrid, lols!!!...So I'll just use it.
The average adult spends more time on the toilet then
they do exercising
In a 2017 study found that adults spend an average pf 3 hours and 9
minutes on the toilet and only 1 hour and 30 minutes being physically active. I’m
gonna assume they did a study on people with constipation, Irritable Bowel
Syndrome, or someone who took their phone into the bathroom.
Mulan has the highest kill-count of any Disney character
She killed over 2,000 people. 1,994 of them were killed in the avalanche she started.
I’m gonna assume they are not counting all the innocent casualties any of the Avengers (now part of Disney) have inadvertently killed throughout their films.
The water on our
planet is very old
The water we have now is the same water that existed hundreds of millions of
years ago. The next time you drink a glass of water, you could be drinking
dinosaur pee. Think about that.
Squirrels plant
thousands of trees every year
Simply by forgetting where they put their acorns. Thank you little squirrels! Everyday
is Arbor day!
Sharks kill fewer than 10 people per year. Humans kill about 100 million sharks per year
73 million of those sharks are killed only for their fins. Shark fin soups, other shark fin dishes. It
has no nutritional value but is believed to have the benefit of virility and longer
life… “believed” being the operative word here. After they’re caught they have
their fins cuts and their bodies still alive, tossed back into the water to
sink to the bottom of the ocean where they die slowly by drowning, bleeding to
death or being eaten alive by other sea dwellers. So sad.
OK that last one depressed me so I’ll end this with a funny one
just to lighten the mood…
Lobsters pee out of their faces... Ew.
Lobsters have urine-release nozzles right under their eyes. They urinate in each other's faces as a way of communicating, either when fighting or mating. Lobsters are super into golden showers I guess! Awesome!
I hope y’all learned something… and had a chuckle or two along the way. See
learning useless facts is fun. Don’t say I never taught you nothin’!
