- That before sufficiently advanced [computer graphics](graphics.md) was around, NASA still had space flight simulators? Instead of rendering [3D graphics](3d_rendering.md) they used a live feed from a small [camera](camera.md) placed in a miniature physical environment; the camera was moved by the people in the simulator. Such simulators still exist (although mostly just as a curiosity), e.g. for tanks and submarines -- they offer photorealistic graphics at very high [resolution](resolution.md) and FPS.
- That the [dickheads](faggot.md) maintaining the debian `fortune` utility package started to [censor](censorship.md) "offensive" fortunes, moving them to a separate `fortunes-off` package that won't by default be installed, and which in the [future](future.md) will be removed completely? They also put some cringe disclaimers and apologies to man pages and so on.
- That [Kinora](kinora.md), invented around 1895, allowed people to view short videos with a simple, small, purely mechanical device? It used the flip-book principle.
- That [Christopher Knight](christopher_knight.md) (AKA The Maine Hermit) one day just spontaneously left society and lived 27 years in a forest without any human contact. He lived by stealing items he needed -- he performed around 1000 robberies. Very based.
- That you fart more on a plane due to lower pressure.
- That before refrigerators people used so called ice houses to store food in cold temperatures? Ice house was kind of a cellar into which ice was put during winter and where it would last throughout whole summer until the next winter.

- That [wifi](wifi.md) radiation causes [cancer](cancer.md)?
- That David Hampson is a man who repeatedly commits the crime of standing in the middle of the road, lets himself be arrested and then refuses to speak a single word, then goes to jail and once released repeats this whole again? He is capable of talking, he just likes doing this. This is one of the most [based](based.md) things anyone has ever done.
