So, do you remember the movie from Walt Disney “Moana”? Well, in Italy they had to change the name of the movie into “Ocenia”. Why is that, you may ask. Well, it seems they were too scared about what little Italian children could find on Google while searching for “Moana”. In fact, Moana Pozzi is a very famous Italian pornstar and the first results in Italy are always connected to her!

Crickets tell you the temperature. (In Fahrenheit)

Simply count the number of times a cricket chirps in a 15-second period and add 37 to that number. That's the ambient temperature, which for some reason crickets like to talk about all the time.

Why did they give it a portuguese name? 🤔

21 sats \ 1 reply \ @tuma 21 Jun

I thinks it’s Latin, actually.

21 sats \ 0 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 21 Jun

Maybe it is, Portuguese is a Latin language but I never thought that these two words were exactly equal.

Space has a distinct smell. It smells like a bouquet of diesel fumes, gunpowder, and barbecue. The aroma is mostly produced by dying stars.

Fair enough. This immediately came to my mind:

Space is an airless vacuum, so technically, you can't smell anything in space — if you tried, you'd be dead.

To determine the amount of time left before sunset you can hold out your hand at arms length, with your palm open and fingers held out straight and touching. Measure from the horizon to the bottom of the sun with your hands. Each finger is fifteen minutes until sunset.
