Trivia Central!

Joseph45

Hello everyone in Candy Land! Do you guys like learning new facts? I sure do! I have multiple books where I am (and the Internet, or course!) that are filled with amazing and interesting facts! So I thought it would be neat to share all sorts of trivia facts with you guys regularly(this may not entail every day, but keep a look out for new facts regularly)! If you would like to ask me a question, or would like to share your knowledge, by all means do so! In fact, here is one now: According to the Guinness Book of World Records 2019, there are approximately 4.4 billion poeple living within the continent of Asia! They also said that this is roughly 60% of all the world’s poeple! I hope you found this interesting, have a wonderful evening, and check back later for more fun trivia facts! Keep being sweet you guys!

Hello Everyone! I’ve got another trivia tidbit for you! According to timeanddate.com, there are 38 time zones that are in use around the world today. Weird right? There are only 24 hours in a day. While this is true, there are many time zones that don’t follow the 1 hour in time apart for each time zone. There are time zone that can be only 30 minutes apart, or even only 15 minutes! That’s crazy! I hope you enjoyed this trivia tidbit for today, and have a wonderful day and weekend everyone!

Thank you @Joseph45 Always some interesting stuff to learn from you. I actually envy your brain structure since I can remember only things I need 😂 Or maybe I have trained my brain to do so 🤔 Anyway, keep going, someone will probably find your information useful. Have a great day 🤗

Did you know that light from the sun has a weight?  E.g.-the gravitational pull of a black hole is so intense that even light cannot escape its force as the saying goes.. in order to be able to pull or push something must have mass (weight), with these principles in mind we observe then that light must weigh something! 🙃

That’s very cool @Alansmart! Did you know that there are two kinds of heat: Radiant heat (the heat we feel) and latent heat? 

Alansmart

Would that be the internal heat of an object? Just ran this idea through my mind quickly @Joseph45

Joseph45

Here is the definition of latent heat. I just Googled it. I hope this helps!

You two smarties, I am watching you 👀😂

Hi @Joseph45! I know too well that you are interested in providing facts through an off-topic post, but I expect that the center topic of this Community be Candy Crush Friends and not impressive facts for most of the time. Remember, this is a forum about a game, not Wikipedia!

Whatever, did you know that on a technology fair that has just ended there was a public showcase of a self-driving motorcycle? Now that's very impressive! I expect that motorcycle to be available somewhere on this year. Just some trivia for you to enjoy!

Oh, I just remembered one fact. It's 4am here but my brain is working better when it's night. I told you I am Odus, a night owl 🦉

Anyway, did you know that majority of the borrowings and integration of vocabulary elements in English are French and Latin both comprising of 29%?

AlejHerrBar2k3

Well, I already knew that. No wonder why I already pronounce 'camouflage' so properly...

That’s very interesting @firebombmarkus! Ready for another tidbit? The US dollar is the most exchanged currency in the world, but only the 10th or so most valuable! 

firebombmarkus

It's an interesting fact @Joseph45 I didn't have a doubt about $ being the most exchanged currency. And since I am traveling a lot I guess I know the worth of it 😊 I will come back with new facts probably in the middle of the night when my brain wakes up 😁

Joseph45

Ready for another trivia fact? Of course you are! According to Guinness World Records 2019, the city of San Salvador in El Salvador has the highest miser rate of any other city. The city suffers a homicide rate of 137 per 100000 poeple. I don’t know about you, but that sounds very sad to me😥

AlejHerrBar2k3

@Joseph45 Ugh, you had to throw that fact out when in a country next to mine (Nicaragua to Costa Rica) there's also misery everywhere. Thanks to their president, which I won't mention his name on here, Nicaragua has been suffering a lot. There's been riots, lots of emprisoning, captures; even a lack of freedom of speech and several journalists taken by the Police there. I just wish that everything were better if their current president hadn't been elected. (But since don't live in Nicaragua I don't think I can do something.) 😢
