Nice suggestion although you can't quite stop sneezing @AlejHerrBar2k3 For that matter, I will die anyway, so why don't we enjoy while we are here? 😊

Did you know the involuntary action of closing your eyes when you sneeze is purposeful? As the pressure created is enough to make your eyes pop from their sockets if you didn't!

Hello everyone! Trivia man here with a chilling fact! Did you know that the coldest inhabited place in the world is Omyakon in Siberia in Russia. It has average winter temperatures of -58 degrees Fahrenheit🥶 Suddenly, living in Ohio doesn’t sound so bad!

Fun thread! I am a curious person by nature and love learning these fun facts. Here's an obvious one... Only 1% of the ocean floor has been explored with 95% of the ocean as a whole still waiting to be discovered. It's said to hold about 75% of all living things on planet Earth.

Very interesting @marscrushinit! In fact, did you know that we know more about outer space than the deepest depths of our oceans? Weird, huh?!

Here’s another fact for you guys! Did you know that the tallest rollercoaster in the world is the Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure park in Jackson, New Jersey, USA? It’s maximum height is 456 feet high!!! Doesn’t sound like a roller coaster I would want to look down on!!! Think that is big? Well, this pales is comparison to the tallest man-made structure currently on Earth: the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, 🇦🇪. It is an astonishing 2,722 feet tall! Yikes! Would not want to fall from there!😬

Time for another trivia fact everyone! Quite frankly, I find this to be quite astonishing! In January 1943, the record for the world’s fastest temperature drop was set in Spearfish, South Dakota. In just 27 minutes, the temperature dropped a massive 58 degrees Fahrenheit, from 54 degrees Fahrenheit, all the way down to -4 Fahrenheit! I think this is utterly astonishing! I found it out from the book I took a picture of below. It is filled with so many interesting and astonishing weather facts!
