all of them.
One of the first men to open a bathroom showroom was named John Crapper. And his showrooms became so popular, bathrooms were called the John’s cause of him
of all the things that could have an origin story, this one is pretty great
I learned it from a sarcastic museum tour guide. He said it was the one who patented indoor plumbing…then was knighted so he was Lord crapper
In Different Strokes, Arnold pretended to be in a band to impress a girl he liked. That band's name:
The Frozen Heads
(Somehow locked in my brain since I was a kid 🤔)
I always like the fact that while a day in any location is 24 hours, each date on earth lasts 50 hours.
🤓
I had never thought about that but it makes sense!
this is exactly the kind of fact I wanted. completely unnecessary and weirdly fascinating.
I read the first sentence and immediately thought of that... You beat me to it.
If the entire population of the earth stood huddled together, it would only cover the area of Los Angeles.
And stunning view as always
okay THAT is going to bother me now because my brain refuses to believe we’d all fit 😂 and thank you ❤️
I had something, but it's gone. I distract easily.
I’ll get back to you right now this pic is the only thing on my brain … JC ! 🔥🔥🫠🫠
I did not know that about the rain and I know I'm going to forget it before I have an organic opportunity to work it into conversation.
Dumb useless fact that surprises me is that Denver is one of the 10 fattest cities in the United States.
denver?? i would have guessed about 30 cities before denver.
Same! The actual city of Denver isn't all that big, though. The zillion+ suburbs that make up the metro area are definitely not flat.
I don’t know about useless facts… but I’m pretty sure this pic will live in my brain rent free now. 😅🥵
I really did undermine my own question
and thanks gorgeous! 🧡
I honestly have nothing. I’m just here to show appreciation for your incredible cleavage in this photo.
Do you watch doctor who? I learned that watching doctor who haha
The end of a shoelace is called an aglet

I love that you had a whole collection ready 😂 this is exactly the kind of stuff I love learning.
'Officious little prick.' is the first line in the novel 'The Shining' by Stephen King
okay, this is exactly the kind of completely unnecessary information I was hoping for
Beautiful pictures.
Random fact.
Even though we class it as 24 hours
It actually only takes the earth 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds to do a full rotation
So you actually lose 0.9 days per year.
and thank you.😊
hang on. where exactly are my missing 21 hours going every year?
Exactly x
I know how I'd like to spend 21 hours 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The tiny dot over a lowercase i or j is called a tittle…. Seems appropriate for today and 🫠🫠🫠
That's one of my favourite words, and smells.
there really is something about it, especially right after a good summer storm.
Dogs roll on the ground after eating to aid in digestion. And its the cutest thing.
Petrichor is one of my favorite things! I have a really lovely petrichor candle that's magical.
Right up there with hypnotizing cleavage.
thank you.🧡
O my gosh, Bloom… What an amazing view 😋
Brain fried, can’t think of the useless fact, all your fault 😌
convenient excuse, sir. I’m still waiting for an answer 😏
I'm a little too speechless with this image so I got nothin' 😍
Couldn’t agree more!!
😂 I may have accidentally sabotaged my own question.
and thank you 🧡
That petrichor smell is primarily geosmin which is produced by soil bacteria and humans register at very low concentrations. It also contains plant oils and ozone from lightning.
and suddenly my one little fact has footnotes, love this!
Xiphoid is the sword in your ribs

It's towards the bottom in middle
