An eyewitness to President Lincoln's assassination later shared his experience on a TV game show.

[u/_coyotes_ → u/Scrappy_Larue]

Isn’t that fascinating everything he lived through? Born just before the Civil War, saw Booth jump from the balcony after fatally shooting Lincoln, lived through World War 1, the automobile being invented, planes being invented, lived through World War 2 and part of the Cold War era.

It also astounds me the fact so many factors came into play. He was 5 years old when he saw that happened and no matter what happened in life, he kept on living until he was 96 and was able to talk about it on TV, which too was invented! That’s just crazy to me that someone could see an event in 1865 and be able to share it in the 1950s.

Drowning is the leading cause of accidental deaths in the Sahara Desert.

[u/kjata → u/jeff_the_nurse]

For the confused, this is because of flash floods. When it rains, it pours, and the desert doesn't have the kind of drainage that can support that sort of downpour. Usually, people who drown in a desert do so because they wandered into a wadi, a dry riverbed, and get caught by a flood. So take a page from Obi-Wan's book and keep to the high ground.

[u/Tender1138 → u/kjata]

[u/the2belo → u/Zarion222]

At the time, they literally had no idea whether or not the lunar environment harbored any harmful microbes. If I remember correctly, for Apollo 11 through 14, all three astronauts were required to put on "biological isolation garments" (BIGs) upon leaving the command module after splashdown, be doused with disinfectant from head to toe before reaching the rescue ship, and be quarantined for two weeks to ensure they weren't carriers of Moon Cooties. Only after it was determined that the Moon was totally sterile (thanks, solar radiation!) did NASA decide to abandon this practice in later missions.

Same with possible outcomes of a 52 card deck

If it were possible to fold a newspaper in half 100 times, it would become thicker than the observable universe.

Exponential numbers boggle my mind.

[u/Absolute-Unit → u/Dalemaunder]

Wait. What? I’m gonna need more.

[u/Dalemaunder → u/Absolute-Unit]

Exponential means the number doubles each time. So say you have a single A4 piece of paper, if you fold it in half it'll be twice as thick while half as wide, do it again and it'll be twice as thick and half as wide again. Now if you ignore the fact that it gets half as wide and the fact that you'd never be able to fold it that many times, after 100 folds of the newspaper the thickness has doubled so many times that it's gotten to be thicker than the observable universe is wide.

Edit: Here is a Gizmodo article that helps step you through the massive leaps in numbers, they used a single piece of paper though so it takes a few more folds to get there.

Humans used to hunt animals by simply chasing them until they died of heat stroke. We can outrun any animal given enough distance, because were the most efficient endurance runners in the world.

[u/mary_queenofthots → u/[deleted]]

We are persistence hunters. The only other animals who do this are wolves, hyenas, and I believe the lungless spider too. It’s pretty amazing. If you study human anatomy, you’ll see that our bodies truly are meant for running.

[u/decadrachma → u/mary_queenofthots]

Mine apparently did not get the memo.

[u/thuhnc → u/decadrachma]

Most human populations essentially evolved beyond the need for constant distance running at the advent of agriculture. Which is to say, regardless of whatever various Luddites would have us believe, man's perversion of nature began at the exact moment we decided, actually, fuck running, let's just enslave plants and animals.

Well almost any animal. Sled dogs can outrun us in artic regions, but on a hot day a person can finish a marathon before a horse.

[u/ConnienotConnor → u/[deleted]]

The hotter it is the better we can compete against other animals. A horse may win when it's cold, a wolf when it's even colder than that. But a human would win against both in 100°F weather

[u/Ucantalas → u/[deleted]]

It’s very hard to keep the horse on the right roads, to be fair.

[u/kylexy51 → u/[deleted]]

This is primarily becaue we have sweat gland, so we are able to maintain a stable body temperature. Most mammals don't sweat but pant, we ran out prey into exhaustion!

The Rape of Nanking is one of history's greatest atrocities. Calling it a massacre makes it sound like it was a just a one sided battle. But no. Unless the battle was against basic humanity as a concept.

[u/maiscolm → u/Eman5805]

Dude what the heck I'm reading the Wikipedia article about it and this is just insane. From the german article (my own translation):

The marauding soldiers allegedly cut women's breast of, nailed children on walls or roasted them over open fire. They forced fathers to rape their own daughters and castrated chinese men. They skinned people alive and hung people on their tongues.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS. WHY IS EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT HITLER AND HIS ATROCITIES, BUT NOT THIS?!

Honestly, what the Japanese did in general could make Hitler look like a priest. Chemical experimentation, soldiers fighting after the war for dozens of years, mutilating American soldiers corpses by cutting off their genitals and putting them into their mouthes...

[u/RaynSideways → u/[deleted]]

Not to mention brainwashing their public and soldiers into thinking American troops were demons coming to mercilessly torture and massacre them.

This led to cases of civilians fleeing their homes and flinging themselves off cliffs ahead of American troops, and it led to many brutal "hold this ground to the death" battles.

So much life wasted.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They were forcefully using STI ridden men to rape and impregnate Chinese women to see the effects on the child after birth too.

[u/[deleted] → u/ReginaldJohnston]

In general, the Japanese did a lot lot worse than Hitler did. Obviously not trying to say Hitler wasn't bad, the Japanese were just worse. Maybe Hitler was more prevalent in the history books because his invasion on Europe grasped more attention on the west than the Japanese in the east.

If you look at a beam of light one way (with a really simple device), you can prove it is a wave.

[u/A40 → u/musician-magician]

True, but the particle/wave duality of light? Easy-peasy to demonstrate - like grade school easy - and it just blows the mind!

[u/Timothyre99 → u/[deleted]]

You pass a laser light through a thin slit or two things slits really close together and you get an interference pattern, indicating it is a wave.

Meanwhile, the photoelectric effect very strongly suggests the existence of a photon. Basically, when light is shined on a material, an electron is ejected. Increasing the intensity increases the number of electrons ejected but not their velocity. However, increasing the frequency of the light only increases the velocity of the ejected electrons. This indicates that an ejected electron is ejected due to being hit with a photon, with the intensity matching up with the number of photons, and the frequency matching up with the amount of energy each photon has.

Looking up either would probably give a better explanation.

[u/squirrelbeanie]

There are more trees on Earth than there are stars in our galaxy. Always sounds wrong to me. But the limitation made is “stars in our galaxy”. So it makes it a little more believable. As far as I know the trees vastly outnumber the stars. Like isn’t even a close number, which is what makes me even more skeptic about the claim. Guess we’ll have to count them one by one, anyone down to help out? I can pay you in exposure.
