Knowledge is power and there is always more knowledge to acquire.
You never know when Jeopardy! is going to call.
Just because we're out of school, doesn't mean we stop learning.
Learn facts and then share facts—it can make you popular at parties.
Redditor every1isstupid wanted to hear about all the things people think we all need to know.
So they asked:
"What’s a random fact you think is worth sharing?"
I just learned the origin of Valentine's Day and I love it.
Nothing to do with love.
Fascinating fact.
Forbidden
"It was forbidden to ride on moose in Sweden until 1973. An old law forbade such for fear of rebels."

"That’s fair. Anybody who could get a moose to let them ride it into battle could definitely overthrow a government."

"I found a patch of them as a kid. Plucked a few to show everyone, but they got squat in my hand and I wasn't able to find the patch again. Nobody believed me, but I knew what I'd found."

"In a similar vein, there are people alive today who heard firsthand accounts from family members about what life was like at the time of the American Civil War. E.g., someone born around 1930 having been told stories by a grandparent or great grandparent born around 1850."

"Humans have created a ton of them. We still are fairly often. Apples also have a lot of natural variance and diversity. One of the most interesting things about them is that much like a human being can have multiple children at once that are not identical, each seed in a single apple could also produce a completely different tree bearing a different type of apple than the other seeds from the same apple."

Sniff it Out...
"Honeybees can be trained to sniff out land mines in war zones! Obviously dogs can do it but to avoid blowing up poor unsuspecting doggos, they figured out that bees could do the same thing and swarm the area without setting the mine off to alert people to its presence."
