And it could be the difference between it malfunctioning or not. Or how about the fact that there is only one state capital in America without a McDonald's. I bet you can't guess which one.From the full name of Cap'n Crunch to the surprisingly old origins of the word "hipster" Here are 25 Fascinating Facts Hidden in Plain

Something I only recently learned (after over 35 years of being a dog mother), and that's when you "tickle" a dog and it sets off their back leg, you're hurting it! You might want to do a list of things that we do with animals that we shouldn't! Love the Mr Burns impersonation! It's the best I've ever heard! I love the anagram one. I really have a thing for word play. For those who know what I'm talking about, Doctor Who is an anagram of Torchwood (although I should probably put that the other way around as Dr Who came first).

Hi Mike! I remembered the name of Captain Crunch. I remember when it first came out in the mid-sixties. I pestered my mom into getting a box, and I was in love! Imagine my chagrin when another kid put a lot of lemon juice in my bowl of Captain Crunch when I wasn't looking. It curdled the milk, and when I unknowingly ate a big spoonful I gagged!

[@manueltapia1859]

Technicaly is not a captan because the stripee on the shirt don't denote that range 😅

Fathers always get screwed, even on Father's Day. A tie, socks, underwear as a lame gift and he has to pay for the phone call from his own kids.

[@shaneminer4526]

Especially since one of the people giving those gifts usually expects vacations, flowers, jewelry, AND (not or) a budget nuking fancy dinner on their day.

[@Thatshowitsdone619]

Yup! I get hugs at the most! But they know I don't like gifts so it's cool. They are my gifts.

When I was in middle school we had to take some typing program called “All The Right Type” in the computer lab. The lessons required that we keep our hands in certain positions with one finger on each hand on the keys with the ridges. This was the mid-2000s so our generation had grown up on computers, while the school staff had learned in high school or college. When we tried their technique, our typing rate plummeted. Meanwhile, the teachers typed like chickens seeking and pecking at keys.

[@Baldevi]

The Bhuddha's "bun" is not a bundle of hair. It is called "Ushnisha" and represents the Biddha's expanded Wisdom, but there are stories that as he reached enlightenment, Siddhartha's skull began to bulge up, so that is his skull under his hair. I;ve never heard of the Buddha having snails all over his head... He was said to have very curly hair with tight, springy ringlets that could be stretched out many inches/centimeters. The tight curls were also a side effect of his Enlightenment, due to the "heat of the Divine Fire Within" that raised his body temp beyond what normal humans can endure, and made his hair curl tight like curling a ribbon with a scissor's edge. Buddhism shaves heads now, but the Buddha was a Hindu, and Hinduism says that long hair connects humans to the divine more easily. So Siddhartha Buddha would not have shaved his head before enlightenment, and would not bother with his hair much afterwards.

[@brentonlively9322]

Thanks!

The term hippy goes back even further. In the Victorian era opium dens were common. Clients would often lie on their side for hours at a time. They were referred to as being 'on the hip'

You missed a good one on the tyres, one that can mean life or death!!!! ALL Tyres have a manufacture date on and there is a set time from this date when the rubbers life span expires. Look out when buying ‘cheap’ tyres and old stock may already be past their life expectancy and will crack/split and fall apart very soon after. In europe a tyre can be sold upto 5 years from its manufacture date but a rule is 10years of expectancy from the date on the tyre. It is a small number in an oval box ‘1222’ or ‘12/22’ is the 12th week of 2022 so the rubber is good until the 12th week of 2032. Make sure you check this on the cars of ur loved ones.

[@tiffanystales982]

My favourite lesser or rarely known fact is ,,,that Mick Jagger sang backing vocals on the very famously known 1972 song " Your So Vain" by Carly Simon , he's uncredited and chimes in right after the lines "clouds in my coffee" ..once hear him , u can never unhear him , he's slso singing in last minute of the song as well

1:32 That "limitation" kind of adds to the useless busy-work of recycling, when SO much still just gets dumped in the same landfills (but we *felt* gooder before it went there)!

[@freethebirds3578]

Plastic recycling is often a scam anyway. Plastic doesn't get recycled, it gets shipped somewhere else so someone else can handle it. Only they don't, so the mess just builds up.

Brother there is no way “cd’s spinning” made it onto this list 💀

[@stevenvanhulle7242]

CDs don't spin at a constant speed, at least not rotational. The speed is _linearly_ constant, meaning that reading nearest the spindle it rotates much faster than when it reads near the rim. About 500 rpm vs 200 rpm.

[@tommunyon2874]

I remember trapper/keepers in the school supply area of the five-and- dime that said"HEP CAT!" and featured a cheerleader holding a megaphone.

There's also a Z rating for tires. Rated for 149 mph +. Just a fun unique one.

[@MrOnemanop]

You missed the other set of important numbers on a tire. The date of manufature. 2 sets of two numbers which indicate the week and year. After "DOT" they appear in an embossed section on the sidewall. Only on one side (Which should be the outside of your tire if installed correctly.

[@joshlunt7827]

please research it. I was told that when a moose’s mate is unalived by a vehicle and is witnessed by the other moose it will hunt every vehicle and crash into it. So say a red van hit the moose then its mate will crash into every red van it sees. It’s kinda cool but I don’t know if it’s true.

Cap'n Crunch was named after the British admiral Horatio Nelson... an actual captain who died in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. And of course Ferdinand Magellan, who died in 1521 during his attempt to circumnavigate the Earth. But Cap'n Crunch is immortal!

A "Z" rated tire is good for 200mph+ so "Y" is not the highest rating. The is also a date on tires it's 4 digits in an oval. It's week and year.
