Most dictators suffer from narcissism.

Every MLB ball is covered in mud from a secret location in New Jersey.

We have had this one before. But very cool fact.
Ok. I read it just yesterday on MLB website. I see they have side sewing on the ball, why is that?
Yes it’s called seams. That is for the pitcher to get a better grip and manipulate the ball. You grip the ball in different ways to throw different pitches.
Thanks. This is also called seam in cricket but because the baseball directly hits the bat, it makes more sense to have two seams instead of single in Cricket ball.
If we use baseball ⚾️ in cricket, It's gonna behave like mad when it first hits the deck then go to the batter.

That I don't know. Maybe because of round shape of baseball bat is the reason.
The Australian plate is moving about 6.9 cm (2.7 inches) a year in a northward direction and with a small clockwise rotation. The Global Positioning System must be updated due to the movement, as some locations move faster.

Yeah I'm a vikings fan, which is the same as being a jets fan, decades of pain. But with better ownership, management and coaching.
Pub's not a Jets fan. Prepare to catch hell for your slander.
When googling "fun fact nature," the caption image for the "blue whale" piece on one hit...
...is a humpback whale.
This happens a lot (Mostly, I wager, because humpbacks are more photogenic than the boring blues)
Is this a "fun fact". Maybe more like a "useful fact".
But anyway - Sugar is starting to be very closely linked to Alzheimers. Lots of evidence showing up in research studies.
I know, I know - most of us, wisely, don't trust these kinds of studies. But when there's a lot of them, and they seem to be NOT industry sponsored, then they're probably more legit.
And the processed food industry (which funds most "nutrition" studies) wouldn't touch a study about the link between sugar and alzheimers, not with a 10 foot pole.
Here's some links. If you do a search on your own, just "sugar and alzheimers" you'll come up with a ton more. Most of them quite recent.

Clouds weight million(s) of lbs.
https://www.usgs.gov/special-topics/water-science-school/science/how-much-does-a-cloud-weigh
False. Clouds float freely and therefore weigh zero pounds. They do have millions of kgs of mass, though.
Floating doesn't mean you're weightless....
It sure does. Weight is measured by the force exerted in the direction of gravitational pull.
Attach a scale to a free floating object and it will read zero.
TIL the titanic was weightless until it hit an iceberg. Being lighter than air =/= weightless
Ok, fair enough. I actually realized my mistake a few comments ago, but enjoyed the back and forth.

Taxation is a scam.
Bitcoin ETFs just surpassed gold ETFs in AUM. What’s incredible is that Bitcoin did in 12 months (1/20th of the time it took gold to achieve the same AUM)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGuVuSehDLM news in the newspaper la nacion a few hours ago, about the bitcoin perspective for 2025, with Trump's mandate and bitcoin prices in the market. i recommend this video is great. It talks very complete and summarizes 2024 in a few minutes.
The female octopus stops hunting for food so that she can continually blow water over her eggs to keep them oxygenated. Hungry, she will tear off her arms to feed herself. She usually dies by the time her eggs are hatched - the ultimate sacrifice to ensure the continued survival of her species.
