The thread for interesting yet useless facts

It could be called "The House That Was Too Haunted To Be Lived In".

 

That is an amazing idea.

Was thinking of a title with the location in it but that would be so stupid.

 

life began to evolve on this planet around 5.4 billion years ago. The first eyes began to evolve 543 million years ago. Nothing got to see what the Earth looked like for over 5 billion years (early eyes could only see shadows).

 

Fascinating tbf. Slightly under 5 billion years though. Ocd apologies

 

Did you pass out before you got to the bit in the brackets?

 

5.4 billion minus 543 million equals 4,857,000, 000 so less than 5 billion

 

and if early eyes could only see shadows then they couldn’t see what the earth looked like.

Reading comprehension seems to be an issue x

 

Probably just big numbers but thanks for being patronising. Suits you

 

Mate you go round the forum trying to wind people up constantly, you can’t throw your toys out the pram when somebody points out that your nitpicking was actually just you being unable to understand a pretty common sentence even after somebody points out the bit you missed

 

OK mate

 

Yeah. Bleeds is right. Early eyes wouldn’t be able to see what the earth looked like. They could only see shadows as things passed in front on them.

 

Reminds me of the packet of nuts from Tesco that said on the back of the bag " may contain nuts "

 

Didn’t know where to put this, but stuck it here even though it’s probably not that interesting to most people.
I’m clearing out my cave and basically selling everything to convert it into a nuclear bunker. I came across my dad’s old stamp collection from when he was a child, basically all countries from our empire. I spent the last hour looking through it and it’s left me staggered by the amount of countries we used to rule.
