- That the number *cat* in base 36 converted to base 35 is *[d0g](dog.md)*?
- That brain size correlates with [intelligence](intelligence.md) and male brains are on average 10% larger than those of [women](woman.md)? Yep, this is still even on [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md), though the implications mustn't be mentioned there.
- That [capitalism](capitalism.md) is probably the most [retarded](retard.md) and dangerous idea in [history](history.md)?
- Thanks to [quantum computing](quantum.md) you can use a computer to [carry out computation](counterfactual_computing.md) without actually running the computer?
- You can [mathematically](proof.md) [prove you don't know some information](no_knowledge_proof.md)?

- That you can [mathematically](proof.md) [prove you don't know some information](no_knowledge_proof.md)?
- That some early [telephones](telephone.md) used a water microphone (a microphone that uses a needle submerged in water)?
- That in [capitalism](capitalism.md) low end [CPUs](cpu.md) are made by manufacturing a high end CPU and then purposefully crippling it, just for economic reasons? See e.g. [core unlocking](core_unlocking.md). This also goes for car engines etc.
- That back in the times of black and white TVs they sold colored transparent plastic sheets to put over the screen to add fake [color](color.md) to it? It was blue on top (for sky), green at the bottom (for grass) and orange in the middle (for people, which would nowadays be seen as "[racist](racism.md)").

- That [LGBT](lgbt.md), [feminism](feminism.md) and similar movements are not truly leftist but rather [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) and therefore [fascist](fascism.md)?
- That there is no simple formula for calculating the perimeter of an [ellipse](ellipse.md)?
- That there is a limit on how fast any [computable](computability.md) function can grow? There exist uncomputable functions growing so fast that they will eventually outgrow any function that any computer will ever be able to compute. Most famous such function is the [busy beaver](busy_beaver.md).
- In 3rd world [pigeons carrying SD cards](ip_over_pigeon.md) are still much faster and reliable way of transferring [data](data.md) than [internet service providers](isp.md)? This also avoids [censorship](censorship.md).

- That [compiler bomb](compiler_bomb.md) is a very short source code that makes the language compiler produce gigantic executable?
- That in [capitalism](capitalism.md) toilet paper dispensers are purposefully designed to not work with other brands of toilet paper rolls than those of the dispenser manufacturer? This is why in public toilets you often encounter badly working dispensers, they have cheaper rolls in them and the dispenser won't allow them to rotate. Capitalism is literally wasting time of smart engineers on inventing ways to hold innocent people hostage for money by preventing them from wiping their ass after shitting.
- That there is a light bulb in California that has been turned on since 1901 and as of writing this is still working? This shows that [old](old.md) things are better than those manufactured under more advanced [capitalism](capitalism.md) which pushes for more [consumerism](consumerism.md) and applies [artificial obsolescence](artificial_obscolescence.md). Many sowing machines made more than 100 years ago still function perfectly fine as well as many other types of machines; anything created nowadays shouldn't be expected to last longer than 3 years.

- 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 lowered pressure?
- That plants probably feel [pain](pain.md).^([source: no, but still])
- That before refrigerators were invented 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 *salmon* is a [CSS](css.md) [color](color.md)?

- That as early as 1907 it was possible to send [photographs](photo.md) over long distances via telephone lines (basically [fax](fax.md) them) thanks to Belinographe? The photo was rotating on a cylinder where a beam of light was scanning it by lines and transmitting the reflected light intensity as electric current to the receiver who reversed the process to recreate the image.
- That hygrometers (devices that measure air humidity) typically work by having a stretched human hair inside which changes its tension based on air [humidity](humidity.md)?
- That parsing [Perl](perl.md) is [undecidable](decidability.md)?
- That your server is not like your house?
- That [tattoos](tattoo.md) cause [cancer](cancer.md)?
- That there are [exactly 14 ways](https://oeis.org/A250001/a250001_3.pdf) to draw 3 [circles](circle.md) in respect to their intersections?
- That [modern](modern.md) execution methods, such as lethal injections, gas chambers and electric chairs, are objectively far worse, more painful, barbaric and much less reliable than older methods such a firing squad or guillotine? Despite the fact that euthanasia by lethal injection requires an anesthesia expert, it is carried out by medical NON-professionals, which results in alarming numbers of failed executions and long, agonizing deaths. The purpose of these methods is unsurprisingly purely political, to appeal by their "modernity" and "[scientific](soyence.md) appearance" which in majority of voters [invokes](shortcut_thinking.md) a sense of "[progress](progress.md)" or "humanity", of moving away from medieval barbarism, even if it's the complete opposite.
