Great facts @mysticalmysty Here is something from me.

The largest known living organism is an aspen grove. Pando (Latin for "I spread out") is a group of genetically identical quaking aspens in Utah with an interconnected root system. It's an estimated 80,000 years old and takes up more than 110 acres.

Do you know that Swedish Fish do not contain gelatin ( the gelling agent derived from collagen obtain from various animal body part found in mostly gummy candies ) so, unlike mostly gummies, Swedish Fish are vegan and 100% animal cruelty-free

And that's why we love them, @mysticalmysty😍

Quite interesting @Joseph45 Let's hope it will stay calm 😊 Thanks for sharing. Have a great day 🤗

Hello ya’ll, fact guy here with another fact that may scare you a little (it certainly scares me!) Did you know that the Yellowstone caldera, located in Yellowstone National Park in Northwest Wyoming, USA is one of the largest volcano systems in the world? Yellowstone is actually classified as a super volcano, due to its potential to wreak devastation across the United States, and to cause massive climatic and economic devastation across the globe were it to erupt. Thankfully, however, the chances of Yellowstone erupting in the near future are very minuscule. About 0.00014% annual odds to be exact!

Thanks for the info @Joseph45!

Very interesting @bearwithme! Here’s another fact for you guys: Did you know that the Maldive Islands, which are located south of India in the Indian Ocean, has the lowest highest elevation of any other country on earth? It’s maximum elevation is only 2 meters (or about 6-8 feet) above sea level.

This is interesting 😊 @bearwithme Thanks for sharing.

Here is a little bit of trivia about the month of July: July was renamed for Julius Caesar, and is the seventh month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar, and is 31 days long. In prior years, it was called Quintilis. Just think - Americans could have been saying - "Happy 4th of Quintilis" Don't have the same ring does it?

Thanks for sharing this @Joseph45 Since I am not living in the USA I am not celebrating this holiday but I will use this opportunity to wish a Happy Independence Day to you 🤗

Hello everyone! I know it’s been a while since I’ve shared any new facts with you guys, but I’ve got one for you guys right now! Since its Independence Day here in the United States, I thought I would share with you a fact about today: today marks 243 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed! Wow, that more than two centuries ago! Thank you so much for reading, and Happy Independence Day to all of our community members in the USA!

Wow - this is the first time I’ve seen this thread. (Thanks for the shout-out with Fleet week @mysticalmysty I thank your family for their service too).
Here’s a bit of trivia about my state - Texas. It comes from the word Tejas which is an Indian word meaning friendly.

Oh no... I would never go to Michigan ever again @firebombmarkus 😄

Here is something you might want to know @mysticalmysty

Lake Superior State University in Michigan offers a unicorn hunting license. Unsurprisingly, the “chief herald of the Unicorn Hunters” was once quoted saying: “The pursuit of the unicorn is a lonely quest.” We wish them nothing but good luck!

After 31 years the biggest even in NYC for month of May is Fleet Week, the time of the year when the whole city will filled with 3.100 men in white uniform members of the US Navy, US Coast Guard and US Marine. Fleet Week kicks off with ‘parade of ships’ during which massive aircraft carriers, giant warships, historic vessels, and fighter jet cruise along the Hudson River. After the parade the ships will dock on some part of the river, and some of them will open for public tours for a week long before the all leave on Monday the Memorial Day. I just have to feel like to brought this in honor of my ex husband who was in US Navy and my dad who was a Marine. Happy Memorial Day weekend 🇺🇸 And special shout out for @bearwithme from the bottom of my heart I thank you for your service 🙏🏼

I haven’t experienced any spooky thing every time I went there, maybe because mostly the time I passed that road during day time @firebombmarkus

Thanks for sharing @Joseph45 I love spooky things 🙈

@mysticalmysty Did you see something spooky? 🤔

I hear about it before @Joseph45 been there couple times

Here’s a fact that is rather spooky. I was just watching a video on haunted roads around the world, and there’s one that really caught my eye. This road is called “Clinton Road” in New Jersey, and it considered my some to be either the most haunted, or one of the most haunted roads in the United States. Many strange and creepy things have be known to occur on this stretch of road. If you live close to New York, then you may have heard of this road. Here’s a link to the video if you would like to learn more! Click on the first search result. Let me know what you guys think.

I did know that @mysticalmysty, and it is very interesting! Perhaps we go by the 24 hour day for simplicity sake. Here's another fact about calendars: Did you know that the earth actually takes around 365.25 days to orbit the sun? This is where the purpose of the leap year comes in. The leap year we have ever four years (the next one being next year in 2020), is said to account for this fraction of a day.
