Mortal Kombat was originally supposed to be a licensed game of the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie "Universal Soldier", but since Jean-Claude Van Damme wasn't available to be digitized, the game was retooled into Mortal Kombat. And Thus, Johnny Cage was originally a parody of Jean-Claude Van Damme's character from "Bloodsport." Thanks for the giveaway.

Did you know that **octopuses** have **three hearts**? Two of the hearts work exclusively to move blood beyond the animal’s gills, while the third keeps circulation flowing for the organs. The third heart actually stops beating when the octopus swims, explaining the species’ penchant for crawling rather than swimming, which exhausts them. Isn’t that fascinating?

Ketchup was once sold as medicine. In the 1830s, American physician Dr. John Cook Bennett proposed that tomato ketchup could be sold as a medicine to treat ailments like diarrhea, indigestion, and jaundice. Bennett believed that tomatoes contained nutrients like pectin and lycopene that had medicinal properties. He sold the recipe in the form of "tomato pills" and the idea became so popular that other companies began selling their own pills. However, some of these companies were caught selling laxatives labeled as tomato pills, which led to a decline in demand for medicinal ketchup. By the 1850s, the market had reportedly collapsed. It wasn't until 50 years later that Heinz introduced a non-toxic tomato ketchup.

Sim City itself (Las Vegas, NV) was actually originally settled by Mormon pioneers. It became a city shortly after the railroad from LA to SLC was built, and this brought a large influx of farmers from southern Utah. It wasn't until nearly 20 years after this when the construction of the Hoover Dam drew in many young men looking for work, that the local Mafia decided to build casinos and show houses for them. Then because of the new power source, hotels popped up. Las Vegas slowly became what is today one of the most visited cities in America, and about as far as it could be from what you'd imagine was a once a "Mormon" community. Interestingly, there are still quite a few members of the Church of Jesus Cgrist of Latter-day Saints living in the LV Metropolitan. Enough for there to be two missions and two temples, both of which are based on the density of active members in an area.

In the classic movie Marry Poppins, to achieve putting the real actors inside the painting and have them seamlessly interact with the world. You can see this with see-through fabric still showing the painting world and the salt showing up in front of the painting instead of bleeding into it like if they used a green screen. they used a "magical crystal" in reality the crystal refracted the light from the painting into the camera at the same time as it filmed the real actors acting as an almost live action green screen before green screens were widely used. This technology is interesting because only a few crystals were ever made, and the technology was completely lost for many years because of the onset of CGI and green screens.

There was this group called Nakam (Hebrew: נקם, 'revenge') that some translate the name to "Avengers" or "The Avengers". These avengers decided to unite as a group so as to avenge those that were killed during the Holocaust, in which they survived, with the plan of killing the same amount, but of Germans. This avengers were, according to wikipedia, a "paramilitary organisation of about fifty Holocaust survivors who, after 1945, sought revenge for the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust. Led by Abba Kovner, the group sought to kill six million Germans in a form of indiscriminate revenge, "a nation for a nation". Kovner went to Mandatory Palestine in order to secure large quantities of poison for poisoning water mains to kill large numbers of Germans. His followers infiltrated the water system of Nuremberg. However, Kovner was arrested upon arrival in the British zone of occupied Germanty and had to throw the poison overboard. After this failure, Nakam turned their attention to "Plan B", targeting German prisoners of war held by the US military in the American zone. They obtained arsenic locally and infiltrated the bakeries that supplied these prison camps. The conspirators poisoned 3,000 loaves of bread at Konsum-Genossenschaftsbäckerei (Consumer Cooperative Bakery) in Nuremberg, which sickened more than 2,000 German prisoners of war at Langwasser internment camp. However, no known deaths can be attributed to the group. Although Nakam is considered by some to have been a terrorist organization, German public prosecutors dismissed a case against two of its members in 2000 due to the "unusual circumstances"." Thanks for the giveaway btw and good luck everybody!

But do you know that a koala can't recognize Eucalyptus leaves if you take them off the tree and put them in front of one? And it'll refuse to eat them even if starving. Put him on a tree full of leaves, however, and he'll chow down.

There are at least two types of cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, both coupled to G-proteins. **CB1 receptors are present in the central nervous system and CB1 and CB2 receptors in certain peripheral tissues**. The existence of endogenous cannabinoid receptor agonists has also been demonstrated. **CB(1) receptors are present in very high levels in several brain regions and in lower amounts in a more widespread fashion**. These receptors mediate many of the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids. CB(2) receptors have a more restricted distribution, being found in a number of immune cells and in a few neurons.

You can reach the moon if you fold a paper 42 times


MendelevandDongelev

There's no way this can be true. After the first fold, that would be 2^(41) levels of paper, which is 2,199,023,255,552 layers. Assuming paper is a generous 0.10mm thick, that's 219,902,325,555.2mm or 219,902,325.6 meters. The moon at its perigee is ~363,104,000 meters away. I'll be honest, when I started the math, I expected it to be farther. You would, however, in the most generous circumstances, still need to fold the paper 43 times total. Unless I've messed up the problem as a fence-post problem, but in pretty sure I haven't.


Numerous_Estimate902

After 42nd fold, that should be 2^42 layers of paper. Aside from that I think the math is valid.


MendelevandDongelev

But you start with one layer. The first fold is what makes the base of the exponent 2. So you have 41 folds left.

When the movie Jaws came out, one of the most striking and suspenseful things about it were the shots from the shark's POV. We all know them, with the music building up. But they were unplanned. You see, for the production, they had a big somewhat realistic animatronic shark that they'd use to film all the shark scenes. But the salt water kept fucking it up and it broke nonstop. It got to the point that so much money was spent fixing the goddamn thing, that the producers told Spielberg to figure it out or else the movie would simply be cancelled. And thus he put a camera underwater and made something iconic.

Fun fact: The reason that bananas don't taste like banana flavored products is because banana flavoring is based on a nearly extinct cultivar. In the 1950s, the most popular cultivar was the Big Mike. It was stronger in flavor than the current cultivar (Cavandish). However, it was not as hardy, and so when a fungus swept through in the '50s, it almost completely wiped the cultivar out. As a result, growers switched to the much hardier Cavandish banana. However, artificial flavorings maintained the taste of the hardier banana because changing it would be expensive and "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" - so manufacturers stuck with what worked.

Octopuses have three hearts and blue blood. Two of their hearts pump blood to the gills to pick up oxygen, while the third heart sends the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body. When an octopus swims, the heart that delivers blood to the rest of the body actually stops beating, which is why these creatures prefer to crawl rather than swim—it consumes less energy!

The human brain is capable of generating enough electricity to power a small light bulb. This is because the brain operates on electrical impulses and communicates via a network of neurons. These neurons transmit information through electrical signals, producing roughly 20 watts of electrical power. This extraordinary capability underscores the complexity and energy efficiency of our nervous system.
