In Brazil you will find Zerão, a famous football field known in English as, ‘the Big Zero’. Opened in 1990, the stadium was designed so the midfield line fell exactly on the Equator, meaning each half lies on a different hemisphere.

Koalas might not seem to have a lot in common with us, but if you were to take a closer look at their hands, you'd see that they have fingerprints that are strikingly similar to those of humans.

In fact, they're so similar when it comes to the distinctive loops and arches, that in Australia, "police feared that criminal investigations may have been hampered by koala prints," according to Ripley's Believe It or Not. Any koalas who want to commit crimes would be wise to do so wearing gloves.

With the arrival of smartphones, webcams are less important to people with desktop computers. Nonetheless, all the laptops in the market have one, in addition to some all-in-one desktop computers. The first online webcam in history was used in the Cambridge University computing lab. Its only objective was to see if the coffee was ready to avoid unnecessary trips to check if the coffee machine had done its job.

Only 38 days in all Bitcoin history have ever had a closing price higher than where we currently are at $61k.

On November 28, 2012, the day of the first bitcoin halving:

Not a single murder, shooting, stabbing, or other incident of violent crime in NYC was reported for an entire day¹.

An AK-47 has a higher thrust-to-mass ratio than the Saturn V.

for high BP, the answer is not decreasing salt (our bodies need a ratio of sodium, magnesium, potassium & calcium), the answer is increasing potassium. and instead of using dangerous chemical meds, you can supplement with natural garlic oil, turmeric, and others. we've been lied to about everything including what is healthy.

There are 3.95Billion women on earth, but only 21 million bitcoin.. you can get a girlfriend later, dude.

The idea for a website with q&a, close to AI of nowadays is older than you think. Askjeeves was a question answering–focused e-business founded in 1996!!! by Garrett Gruener

The smallest unit of Bitcoin is called a "Satoshi" and is equal to 0.00000001 BTC. This unit is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator(s) of Bitcoin. There are 100 million Satoshis in 1 Bitcoin. The term "Satoshi" allows pricing and accounting to be represented in smaller subdivisions than whole Bitcoins, similar to how dollars are divided into cents.

Thank you so much.

This is Ryan Reynolds. Bet you didn't know he's nearly a BILLIONAIRE. He's a marketing savant.

Companies he co-owns or has sold are worth ~$14+ billion

My fun event of the day was seeing during the halving how we went from 100 to 500 and 1200 and now 2000 sat/vB is completely crazy😵😱

Horses can't vomit. No muscles to do so.

The 1925 Tri-State Tornado holds the record for 1) the most time on the ground (3.5 hours), 2) the longest distance on the ground (219 miles; 352 km), and 3) the greatest forward speed (73 mph; 117 km/h).[4]

There’s no dearth of scientifically sound (or otherwise) approaches to tackling global warming. Among them is World Jump Day that is celebrated on July 20 every year. The day aims to shift the orbit of Earth, to extend daylight hours, and to create a more standardized climate throughout the world. This day is observed as a way of taking a light-hearted but stern look at the very serious issue of global warming and climate change. Although it’s impossible to change the orbit of the Earth, jumping is a lot of fun!

HISTORY OF WORLD JUMP DAY World Jump Day was started by German artist Torsten Lauschmann. He launched and popularized the idea through his website. The day was first observed on July 20, 2006, after the site gathered almost 600,256,820 registered jumpers! Lauschmann presented jumping as an art installation to raise awareness about global warming. Today the day is mostly celebrated in jest since we all know that our combined weight on Earth is so minimal that it will have no impact on the planet’s orbit whatsoever. The day is considered to be unscientific and was widely discredited. Whatever the reason may be, jumping is fun and a good form of exercise.

World Jump Day is celebrated exactly at 11:39:13 GMT. At this time, millions of people from the Western Hemisphere jump simultaneously. It is believed that coordinated jumping will force the planet to move out from its original orbit and into a new one, and this would stop global warming! But not all of it is a joke — some scientists believe that if 600 million people jump at the same moment, the earth will move a bit from its orbit, which will increase the distance between the Sun and the Earth, thereby reducing the risks of global warming. It is based on the theory that changes in earth mass will make a difference in the earth’s orbit. Needless to say, it is unproven that having millions of people jump at the same time would make a difference in the Earth’s orbit.
