People Share The Most Bizarre Facts They Know

Odd facts and knowledge may not be particularly useful, but they're great when you need to make small talk—and when playing Trivial Pursuit.

Random bits of useless information have always seemed to stick in my brain, while the important stuff seems to wander away into the aether.


For example: I still remember the WiFi password from 3 routers and approximately 10 years ago, but I cannot remember an important date or appointment unless my phone reminds me.

Here are some other folks who retain weird and not particularly useful information too.

Reddit user u/v1ralsp1ral asked:

"What is the most useless fact you know?"

Kangaroos

Giphy

If all kangaroos from Australia invaded Uruguay, each uruguayan would have to fight against approximately 13 kangaroos

-laimalaima

Butt

A "butt" is a unit of measurement equivalent to 126 gallons. So if you claim that you have a buttload of something, you better have 126 gallons of that something

Ants

Giphy

Ants can't take fall damage because their terminal velocity isn't fast enough to break their exoskeleton.

-BiggestGiantOne

Muppets

The first 1080p video on YouTube was the muppets singing Bohemian Rhapsody

Since the 50s

soaps and detergents are marketing themselves as eco-friendly because "NOW they are Phosphate free" but phosphates have been outlawed in all 50 states since 1994 and the surfactant industry began moving away from the use of phosphate based soaps in the 50s.....

-femsci-nerd

But they can charge 5% more for doing nothing

Elvis

Giphy

The only endorsement Elvis Presley ever did was for a donut shop that he loved.

-abaloun32

He made the appearance at just 19 years old in 1954 when he was relatively unknown. Not only was this the only endorsement he ever did, but his compensation for it was a box of hot glazed donuts from the shop.

Muscovite

Foot tickling for sexual arousal was a tradition in the Muscovite palaces and courts for centuries. Catherine the Great and Anna Ivanovna were ardent participants.

Ticklers sang naughty ballads and told lewd stories whilst tickling their ladies feet, working their mistresses up into an erotic frenzy with which to meet their husbands or partners.

-TicklerOfFeet

Polar Bears

Polar bear livers contain a deadly level of vitamin A.

Its useless because our livers are totally safe for polar bears and that's likely how things would go if we met.

-nostopthoughts

Eels

Giphy

Eels actually have 2 jaws. The first being like a normal jaw, the second being hidden in their throat. The secondary jaw lunges forward when the eel bites down on prey, bites down on the piece within the mouth and bites a chunk out of it, pulling it down the throat. Think about the alien in the movie Alien, the secondary mini-mouth they use is based off an eels anatomy.

-Being_grateful

When the jaws open wide

And there's more jaws inside

That's a moray

-undergrounddirt

Banana

The bananas we based artificial banana flavoring on were [nearly] wiped out by a blight, which is why artificial banana tastes so different from real bananas

The Gros Michel Banana is alive and well, just not nearly as common as they were in the first half of the 20th century.

Mom Sparks Backlash After Ranting That Childfree People Are 'Practically On Vacation 24/7'

There has been a lot of buzz around relationships between married women, mothers, and single women lately, and specifically how single women are treated. Now fuel is being added to the fire in how single women are portrayed, specifically that they must be on vacation full-time.

That's because mom and TikToker Danielle Ekwerekwu really thought she was onto something when she pointed out that childfree people not only have more free time than parents do, but that they are essentially on vacation full-time while parents are making sacrifices.

Lesbian Has Podcast Hosts Cracking Up After Thanking 'Stupid' MAGA Alpha Males For Hilarious Reason

To cap off an otherwise bleak year, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan gave their listeners a gift: a TikTok roundup of the top voice memos of 2025 from their podcast, I've Had It.

One message, in particular, sent the hosts into hysterics—and the algorithm into a tailspin—after a lesbian listener thanked MAGA “alpha males” for their accidental contribution to the rise of late-in-life lesbians.

Teachers Share The Things That Were Normal For Millennials That Would Have Their Students 'Crashing Out'

We all know, in theory, that the times are changing, and with each new generation of students there will be changes in educational curriculum, approach, and learning tools.

But just like how hard it can be to do the math to figure out how long ago we graduated from high school, it can be really hard to swallow the fact that school looks so incredibly different for students now than it did for Millennials and Gen-Xers.

Dr. Oz Raises Eyebrows Over His Bizarre Defense Of New Guidelines For Alcohol Consumption

Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump's administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), raised eyebrows over his bizarre and surprisingly permissive defense of new guidelines for alcohol consumption, saying "it does allow people an excuse to bond and socialize, and there’s probably nothing healthier than having a good time with friends in a safe way."

Oz spoke as the Trump administration on Wednesday released updated dietary guidelines for Americans, emphasizing whole and minimally processed foods, reduced consumption of refined carbohydrates, and what officials described as a “war” on added sugars.
