Good news for sheep 🐑 hangback a while and you have more than a 70% chance of survival - good odds. I’m wondering if all the black sheep survived, I’m guessing yes 🤔 Great collection, you’re getting adept at this, so I’m not even gonna ask if you cleared the Buzz Aldrin fact with Flatearthers, sure you must have.

thanks for the list, Paul. these are always great. what i especially love is the amount of them and the ability to read more if i want to dive in further. for instance the parachutist. there has to be a great story there!

Most of the facts are easily googlable. A lot have their own Wikipedia listing. As does Owen J. Baggett: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_J._Baggett

These are great Paul.

Tesla Roadster: I wonder how many G's are pulled by going 0-60 in under one second. Probably similar to a fighter jet being catapulted from an aircraft carrier.

Tesla Charging via diesel generator: EV technology is really cool but how many owners think about what the other end of that fancy extension cord is plugged into.

Pneumatic clocks: Fascinating, I'm going to have to Google that!

As a single man and eminently eligible "Golden Bachelor," I am in search of the “American Female Unicorn.” She is extremely rare and also known for her mythical elusiveness.

....kudos to the "stuck" pun...i am so invested into the idea of a fake university company...not sure if you ever got down with Orson Wells "F is For Fake" but i feel a follow up deep dive into the fraudlandias of the modern era would be so delightful...

The sheep though 😂😂 I don't even know why that fact made me laugh out loud. Probably because it made me think of the sheep mentality of humans 😁

I laughed out loud at that one too:)

Thanks for sharing! These insights remind us of the joy found in connecting with others, whether through shared experiences like browsing social media or the simple act of smiling at someone or admiring animals. Happiness often emerges from these moments of human and animal interaction, reinforcing the importance of positive connections in our lives.
