Do you have any interesting tidbits of information or strange facts?

Here is my contribution: Science believes, the reason we never actually “die” in our dreams, is because our brains don’t know what occurs after death.

I can’t just let “science believes” go because you’re a kid. That’s not how science works, at all.
Also, that’s a preposterous theory on the face of it. Our brains also include powerful imagination. I can’t fly, so i don’t know how that feels. I dream about flying all the time. I’ve never killed anyone. I don’t know how that feels. I have had lots of dreams about killing people. If what you suggested is even remotely true, and by your phrasing alone i suspect it’s not, whoever speculated as much isn’t a true scientist.
You want a true and interesting tidbit?
Most people cannot lick their own elbows. Also, after reading or hearing that fact, most people will try to lick their own elbow.
I once went to a “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” oddities museum. There was a factoid about percentages of people who can roll their tongue in front of a mirror fairly near the entrance. After you’ve made your way through the museum and are near the exit, you discover that the mirror was a “two-way” and you can stand there and watch people trying to roll their tongues.
Hahahaha!!!

I can’t remember the year but it was maybe four or five years ago, one state had the three best players in the world for baseball, football and basketball. It’s never happened before. It was Wisconsin.

Aaron Rodgers for NFL

Yelich for MLB

Take my word for it, a Milwaukee Bucks player for the NBA. I’m not even gonna attempt to spell his name.

I now live in WI but when this happened, I lived in Florida and remember being jealous for some reason lol.. I definitely knew who Yulich and Rodgers were but I was never a huge fan of baseball.

[Beckybooboo]

I mean, I was never a huge fan of basketball!

[SuziesSunshine]

That’s actually kind of cool! Rodgers left Green bay, right?

[Beckybooboo]

No, he left last year.

[Beckybooboo]

I’m sorry! Yes! He left last year but got hurt.

Rome, Italy, is north of New York City.

[SuziesSunshine]

I remember hearing that Alaska is actually further east than New York. I should probably look it up before I post this but I’m pretty confident! 😊

[NamerOfStars]

Well, sort of- see, since the planet doesn't rotate on that axis, there's not actually a latitudinal equivalent to the equator; you can literally just keep going east forever. Ultimately, everywhere on Earth is east of everywhere else, provided that you take the long way.

The agreed upon meridian is entirely an arbitrary and artificial one, which runs through part of Alaska. This also means that Alaska is both the westernmost AND easternmost state.

[SuziesSunshine]

Lol.. I actually looked it up after I posted this. I see I was wrong about New York! Main is actually the eastern most state in the continental US. But yeah, you actually explained it really well! Thank you.

[SuziesSunshine]

I see I also spelled MAINE wrong! 🤦‍♀️

[SuziesSunshine]

The cool thing is, now that I know this, I’ll never forget it.
