I was zoomed in on Google Maps following a really long river from source to mouth.

It’s shocks me, daily, that people are out there being bored. Like, do you not get distracted by the encyclopedia for hours?

Fun fact: bumblebees have been shown to engage in play without reward.

Did you know Gary Numan and Randy Newman both released misotheistic albums, or music about hating God?

Wow that’s interesting I will have no practical use for this information

Did you know there’s a math formula to determine how arboreal a species of skink is? Their total length compared to the length of their toes determines how high they climb!

My wife is a reptile enthusiast and adored this fact

There's no such thing as boredom, only boring people.

Did you know that the Romans often determined important events through Alectryomancy? This is the mystical art of reading the future through a handful of chicken and how they peck at seed!

Did you know: early 20th century French blade sharpeners would lay face down, to preserve their posture and neck. But the work was cold, so they’d ’hire’ dogs to lay on their legs to keep them warm!

Of course, who doesn't know that? That's what led to the great dog revolution of 1925 where they marched to Paris to demand equal pay and rights, which is why dogs have voting rights in France today. I think. And if it's not true it's still a fascinating story I made up right now. Either way, working face down to save the neck sounds pretty good. I should redo my work-from-home environment. Thanks for the fun fact!
