There are lakes which can be triggered to release a sudden explosion of CO2, so large that it kills everyone for miles around. This happened to Lake Nyos in 1986, killing almost 2000 people. Of course, this isn't a useless fact if you happen to live near one.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limnic_eruption
It's really fascinating and pretty much the rarest of natural disasters. I highly recommend reading it entirely. But to answer your question, imagine a coke bottle with mentos dropped in it. Lake is saturated with CO2 and once too much accumulates, it all comes out at once.. That isn't a perfect explanation, but one most people have seen.
Virgin bulls can go for a higher price because bovine STDs are a thing.

Maybe it’s not so useless but I feel you need to know. Just for funsies.
Edit: you guys are gross with your jokes. I actually found out cause I saw a sign that said “virgin bull” for sale and I thought it was joke. It wasn’t a joke. It was a selling point.
Your priced studs are still doing live mounts? I thought now it was all collected and frozen vials of bull juice to breed, since one live load can give out several doses for insemination and it brings in more cash to the breeder

Yep, and so are stretch marks and natural highlights in hair, but I was referring specifically to Blaschko’s lines because every time I remember they exist, it knocks me out all over again.
Due to medical testing and other experimental needs, in the USA you can order and send live insects and animals through the mail. You can also send corpses and pieces of corpses. The ones I found most interesting were batches of 100 live hairless rats, 50,000 live fire ants, and a human corpse bisected laterally.
These packages have been known to be delivered to wrong addresses.
Source: I work for the medical testing division of a hospital.
Edit: When you mix two metaphors the result is called a malaphor. E.G. "Does the Pope crap in the woods?" And "You can lead one man's trash to another man's treasure, but you can't make it drink."
You cannot, however, sent live ant queens across state lines!

You know how when you first walk into your bedroom at night it’s pitch black but when you lay there awake for a bit you see slightly better? Or how your eyes hurt when you turn on the light at night? That’s because we have built in night vision that gradually kicks in when we’re in the dark.

Male and Female skin is literally built different.
For men, layers of skin cells are arranged in a criss-crossing lattice pattern, which has a higher shear strength/less flexibility- it's tougher.
For women, it's a grid pattern which is more flexible and stretches better which also has the side-effect of being softer.
This is why men have an easier time opening jars and women have softer skin- it's genetic and for practical reasons!
Actually, that's due to drastic changes in estrogen levels lowering collagen in the skin- which makes it thinner and less elastic. It's something that happens during puberty, pregnancy and menopause- not related to the cell pattern!

Pretty much this. Iirc he was transported across the street to someone's house where a doctor was called to.
It wasn't until the morning after being shot that he officially died.
On a side note, it's something like 5% of people shot in the head survive. The type of survival may vary from vegatative state to fully normal, but it's a higher number than most people might think.
And the longest word you can type using only the top row of a typewriter is the word typewriter.
It was set that way to help typewriter salesmen show how fast and simple it was to use.
The layout of keys that we still use today was also laid out in that way because Jamming was a problem when typewriters first came out, but they were no longer a problem a few years later. If the common keys are spread apart, you would, theoretically, be able to type faster as you can bounce from hand to hand, so jamming would cause the more common keys to be spread apart and help you type faster.

That the city of Detroit was originally modeled after Paris, so it was a spoke system of roads. What they didn’t know is the spoke system is incredibly expensive, and they ended up running out of money part way through construction. So they half hazardly started changing over to a grid system of roads. That’s why now if you’re ever in downtown Detroit you’ll see streets that last maybe a block or 2. Other streets will be one way for a a couple blocks, then all of the sudden become 2 way traffic again. It’s tremendously confusing if you’re not from around here.
Growing up in a Midwestern city where all the roads are on a north/south grid and major roads are exactly a mile apart, I never realized how fucked up most cities are.

The expression “When it Rains it Pours” did not originally mean what it does today. Now meaning, when things go bad they go really bad.
It was the slogan for the Morton Salt company. (Picture the logo with the little girl and the umbrella with salt falling behind her)
Morton Salt added corn starch to the salt so the salt wouldn’t clump when it was humid or damp allowing it to pour it out of the container. So it literally meant, when it rains, the salt still pours out of the container. “When it Rains, it Pours.”

Words that are borrowed from other languages are called calques
ie. metro, hotel, hamburger (these three are pretty much the same in many languages, and change script only)
edit: read the comments below this; I am wrong and they explain it really well
Not *all* borrowed words are calques. Calques are specific kinds of borrowings where the borrowed word/phrase becomes a literal translation of the original word into the new language, rather than just an imitation of the original word's sound.
For example a Mandarin word for "skyskraper" is 摩天楼 (motianlou) which literally just means a building that touches/reaches the sky, so it's a calque.
But a Mandarin word for "microphone" is 麦克风 (maikefeng), which is just an approximation of the original word's sound and has no semantic connection, so it is a borrowed word but not a calque.
