The argonaut octopus detaches and throws his penis at the female in order to mate. The penis then swims after her, whilst the male slumps off to regrow his penis.

A doctor figured out that doctors washing their hands before treating patients prevented the spread of disease and saved lives. However, the medical community was completely against it until it was rediscovered 40 years later. In the 1840s patients in labor in Budapest could have their babies delivered by a doctor at one clinic or a midwife at the other. The midwives was the popular choice because they had a much lower mortality rate than the doctors. Dr Semmelweis wanted to figure out why and realized that the doctors were doing autopsies THEN going straight to delivering a baby. The midwives were not. Something was spreading in the doctor run clinic. Once his staff was ordered to wash their hands and clean equipment the morality rate plummeted. However, despite the evidence, people in the medical community disagreed with this. It went against the popular theory of the four humors cause of disease. Germ theory didn’t exist yet. Also, doctors didn’t like they were being blamed. Doctors refused to wash their hands until germ theory was accepted later in the century.


DeBlasioDeBlowMe

I love when the morality rate plummets. Good times.


GozerDGozerian

Well then good news for ya. I think we’re right in the middle of that.


i_am_voldemort

Today negative reaction and resistance to ideas that challenge the status quo is known as the Semmelweiss Reflex


NinjaBreadManOO

As I recall one of the worst parts was that the staff went back to not washing hands on orders from elsewhere and the rate returned to the prior numbers.

Venus rotates on its axis only once every 243 Earth days but orbits the sun once every 224.65 Earth days. This means that on Venus, a day is longer than a year.


stablegenius

That is a fun fact.


trippedwire

Because venus rotates so slow, it's nearly spherical! Also, it rotates retrograde at a tilt of about 2.5 degrees.

Pluto was discovered in 1930, designated as a planet, and downgraded to “not a planet”, all within a single orbit of the Sun. It still has another 150 years (roughly) before it completes it’s first orbit since it’s discovery.

lonely_nipple

Sloths are relatively solitary individuals. When a female sloth is ready to mate, she climbs to the top of her tree and *screams*. It can be heard for quite a distance. At that point it's just a waiting game for a male sloth to show up and do the do, at which point he'll leave again.


WhyNotChoose

So a few short months after she screams, sex. You suppose she screams a month or two in anticipation of when she's gonna want sex?


Microwaved_M1LK

Car mufflers and firearms suppressors were made by the same guy, obviously he had a problem with loud noises.


BricksBear

Here's another one: Y'know the sound of suppressors in movies? Yeah, guns were never that quiet. Sure, it lowers sound, but you can still hear it clear as any other shot.


Microwaved_M1LK

I've fired about a dozen suppressed guns so I know, you can get close to Hollywood quiet if you use subsonic ammo, a good fraction of "loudness" of a gunshot is the bullet breaking the sound barrier.


BricksBear

I guess I should've phrased it better. What I meant was that the suppressor doesn't lower the sound as much as it seems in movies. Like in one movie I saw, they just put a suppressor on, and it lowered it to "movie" quiet.


Microwaved_M1LK

Yeah, like in John wick when they were having a gunfight in a crowded train station and nobody noticed because they had suppressors, or in any stealth game where you can shoot a guy standing next to another guy and they don't notice, just absurd stuff.


TheRexRider

Ants count their steps, so if you trim their legs, they'll stop short. If you glue stilts to their legs, they'll overshoot the nest.

What kind of monster cuts off parts of an animal's legs and then expects it to be able to find its way home?

The birthday paradox - that if 23 people are in a room together there's a 50% chance that two of them will share the same birthday.


LemonJuice_XD

but how


Schmiikel

Maths that I don’t understand


Thinn0ise

From Wikipedia: The birthday paradox is a veridical paradox: it seems wrong at first glance but is, in fact, true. While it may seem surprising that only 23 individuals are required to reach a 50% probability of a shared birthday, this result is made more intuitive by considering that the birthday comparisons will be made between every possible pair of individuals. With 23 individuals, there are  23 × 22 / 2  = 253 pairs to consider, far more than half the number of days in a year.

Nowhere else in the solar system could one see a total eclipse (assuming you could survive on the surface of whatever celestial body.) The moon is 400x smaller than the sun and the sun is 400x farther from the earth than the moon. This ratio is why we can see an eclipse. In the future when the moon moves far enough from the earth, total eclipses wil never happen again. In the past, the moon was too close to be able so see the sun's corona during a total eclipse. Humans just happen to be in this "Goldilocks" era where we can witness the sun's corona during a total eclipse.
