This actually reminds me of a similar movie that had a sadder fate- Foodfight. The original movie was apparently stolen, and sadly the movie was not saved anywhere else. The Foodfight we have now was created in an extremely short time period on an extremely short budget, and is actually so low quality that someone recorded and uploaded the whole movie to KZbin and (as far as I know) haven’t even received a copyright claim, as nobody seems to care about it.

Technically, one of the first fandoms with written fiction was a group of women who wrote Mercutio x Benvolio fanfic (yes, the Shakespeare play boys). But because they were a "ladies' book club," history forgot them.

[@Samael1113]

Yes... but I'd modify it. The fandom didn't exactly start from Kirk/Spock fic-ing. But It definitely was an important bonding agent helping indirectly congeal the existing nerd, geek and "Q" fans together. It wasn't the only one, but considering how many Fan 'Zines came out of it and helped support more, and how people existing in the margins want to meet others with similar thought patterns...it definitely had a role to play.

Fun Fact! While bird’s bones are hollow, they are not heavier than bones of creatures of similar size. This is because bird bones are super dense in order to not break on impacts despite their hollowness. The reason bird bones are hollow is to store extra oxygen while flying.

[@FilbieTron]

Wow that’s so cool!!

[@a-bird-lover]

it's not quite for storage actually, bird lungs work very differently and the air sac system helps to direct air so that air only actually flows in one direction through the lungs (which is much more efficient) instead of our two way system, and they also help to cool off the body!

My fun fact: Corset time! Corsets weren't as restrictive as media frames them to be. Corsets were almost always custom made to fit the person, and had to be "broken in" like a pair of Doc martens. Also, tight lacing like you often see in the movies was only really done for parties, the rest of the day ladies wouldn't lace up their corsets as tight. Furthermore, Corsets weren't just to achieve a desirable shape, they served more like bra's do now, to distribute the weight if the bust, and people who wear (actual high quality, custom made, broken in) corsets now report that they do so very well. Women of all classes wore corsets, also lower class working ladies, so yes, corsets were comfortable enough to wear out in the fields, and they were worn basically everywhere you'd wear a bra to now. The reason actors in period pieces often say corsets are very uncomfortable is because the movie studios often don't have the time, money, or skills, to get a custom tailored corset for all the actors who would need to wear them, AND let them break their corsets in. Also they often prioritize the corsets making the actors look good over them being comfortable. Anyways, that was my infodump about corsets :]

Fun fact! The artifacts that were previously thought to be the oldest examples of “knitted” fabric were actually constructed through a completely different, much older technique- one that does not unravel when damaged! One of the most common names for it is “nalbinding” or “needle-binding”, which has been passed down through the generations in Iceland and worked using the thumb as a gauge. However, there are versions of this looping form of textile construction from all over the world! One only needs a single needle and a length of yarn or string, though I have also used seaweed and it is likely that humanity’s ancestors also used plant fibers or hair for their constructions.

Fun fact besties Pigeons' poop isn't supposed to be this liquid icky mess that we see everywhere in cities, their poop is supposed to be pretty solid. The only reason it isn't is because they don't have access to the right food, aka mainly small seeds, in a good amount. Possibly not that fun of a fact but still an interesting fact, at least in my opinion. Birds are one of my hyperfixations or special interests, can't really tell which but I do know I love them a lot and am really interested in them, especially pigeons and corvids. I have been feeding my local pigeons for maybe a couple months or so now? Many of them feel comfortable sitting on my arms, hands, sometimes shoulders, or if I have a shoulder bag etc etc. They are adorable little rascals. Anyways the thing is that their poop has started becoming more solid! They unfortunately shit on me sometimes- however a few times recently it has not only brought be the normal icky feeling but also joy because it means that their diet is becoming more healthy! So hey, if you need something to get you out and about more often try feeding your local birds. I started this spring with the crows at our local graveyard and it's the most rewarding experience ever, only downside is that it sometimes makes everything else in life feel incredibly bland in comparison. Nothing beats befriending and earning the trust of animals you admire to me. Plus sometimes it's just the thing you need since regular human relationships are so complicated.

Fun Fact number 1 (that's right bitches two for the price of one): when Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Men Tell No Tales was being made they originally had a completely different actor playing Salazar (I forget _exactly_ who) but he dropped out due to scheduling conflicts, when Javier Bardem joined the film to replace them the writers had to rewrite a decent chunk of Salazar's backstory due to the fact that, no matter how much they could try to hide it Javier Bardem has a very noticeable Spanish accent instead of just being a captain in the British navy, like most other side characters in the Caribbean films, they changed the characters origin to the Spanish armada and the rest is history Fun fact number 2: the original Super Mario Bros for the NES could only render 3 colours per sprite so despite looking like he has 4 colours in his sprite this is a trick Bowser has played on all of us the forth colour (namely Black) comes from the backdrop of the levels you fight him in and if you where to hack the game to put him anywhere else all the black parts for his sprite would change the backdrop of THAT level

Fun Fact that's pretty commonly known, but I enjoy talking about it anyway: Being left-handed was 'frowned upon' even as recently as the mid-20th century, because of this a lot of older left-handed people became ambidextrous. Some children would even have their left hand tied around their back, and even be hit for using their dominant hand, also in some countries, left-handedness was illegal and was punishable as a crime.

[@velociraptorhijinks7279]

Another fun fact off of this one :)! One remnant of left-handedness being seen as bad is actually the word “sinister” it comes from the Latin word for left hand (which I can’t remember off the top of my head). A Romans toga would always cover their left arm/hand and their right hand would be bare because you used your left hand to wipe after you go to the bathroom.

[@coolmathgames_hater4491]

Are you thinking of sinestra? "Ambisinistrous" is also a word that exists, but because of right-hand dominance, being "left on both sides" is usually a term for being clumsy (such as "having two left feet"). Also it can be incredibly painful to perform tasks with your right hand (who would've thought! /sarcastic).

Five fun facts about cats from an autistic guy who wants to share his cat-facts! Fun fact 1:Cats have three eyelids on each eye. One on top, one on the bottom and a translucent one in the corner of their eye. Fun fact 2: Cats don’t always land on their feet, HOWEVER, If falling from a reasonable height, a cat can sense it’s position in the air and right themselves. They can also spread out their Legs in order to catch the air and lessen their fall damage. This doesn’t mean a cat won’t get hurt from high falls, though. Fun fact 3: Male cats have a barb on the tip of their…. Schlong. Yup. It hooks when doing the “reproduction limbo” and it kinda explains why the cat on the receiving end can get so… vocal. Fun fact 4: Cats have backwards-facing barbs on their tongue! That’s why it feels like sandpaper. The barbs act as a brush for the cat, however fur will catch on and end up being swallowed, hence *hairballs*. That is why it’s dangerous for a cat to attempt to eat things like yarn, because it may get stuck on the barbs, making it difficult to get out of the mouth. Obviously, a cat shouldn’t be eating yarn, but you get the idea. Fun fact 5: (usually) Cats like small, tight spaces! If your cat keeps heading for a box, or under a bed, or between couch cushions, it’s seeking a comfortable spot in which to sleep! Bags, holes, drawers, if your cat can fit, it’ll probably go there. They can go in such small places because of their bone and skeletal structure. Their bones are not so locked into place like ours, they can stretch and squeeze far easier than us and certain other animals, like dogs. If anyone has more cat facts, please share!

@@justaperson4656 id love to share! basically the original wolf dominance study from 1922 focused on wolf behavior in captivity, where the wolves had to compete for limited resources, and that’s where the idea of a wolf dominance hierarchy(alpha/beta/gamma/omega) came about. but in 1999, another study was done and essentially disproved this, finding that in the wild, wolves don’t compete for dominance at all and instead work in family groups. the whole dominance hierarchy was only present in the original study because the wolves were placed in captivity for the purposes of the research. the debunked 1922 study’s use of “alpha” and “beta” as the names of the wolf groups studied(they also used gamma and omega as categories i’m pretty sure?) is what sparked the whole “alpha male” concept which has been in popular culture for a pretty long time. (funny enough the study is also is the reason for omegaverse fan fiction culture which is a whole other wormhole lol) but the concept of the “sociosexual hierarchy” was first introduced in a 2011 blog post by vox day(scary alt-right guy, very unpleasant human being to say the least) where he listed 7 different “male archetypes”(alpha, beta, delta, gamma, omega, sigma, and lambda), ordered by each group’s average number of lifetime sexual partners(it’s funny because he literally gives no evidence or sourcing for any of this it’s just him saying shit). the post seemed to have gained some traction because in 2017, a book called “the sigma male: what women really want” was published which talked about the sigma archetype that vox day coined in his original post. im pretty sure that’s what influenced the obsession with sigma males in recent years on youtube and stuff in “men’s rights”/redpill spaces. so basically it’s a story that’s partly about misinformation and pop science and partly about alt-right internet assholes just completely making shit up and calling it fact.

FUNFACT: the human ear distorts the signal when sound gets too loud, like a crappy small speaker that you turn up too much, and our brain interprets more distorted audio as louder to a degree without you actually percieving it as distortion, so if an audiophile or "Pro"-audio-engineer ever bitch to you about music being "not dynamic enough" and show you an image of the songs waveform, with it looking completely flat as opposed to old music which looks spiky, remember that you are able to percieve dynamics in your brain that aren't even in the file anymore via an auditory illusion, so it's never as bad as it looks, (most) audio engineers have just become more efficiant with their usage of the canvas they paint on.

TW for slightly dark and a bit morbid Fun fact: In the world of early Victorian medicine, doctors were often not seen in a good light! Our lack of medical knowledge paired with little to no anesthetics left many doctors getting desensitized to other people's emotions and/or pain. In a more extreme case of this, some medical students would play around with the cadavers. Amputated limbs were hidden in random places around the school! An example of this is when a young boy peeked into a window of a classroom (I can't remember the name, only that it was in England) and was spotted by a student who was doing something with a cadaver. The student smiled at the boy, and raised the amputated arm of the body in a wave! I highly recommend the creator Kaz Rowe's video on this, because the niche bits of history they talk about are always interesting!

Fun Fact: The blue ring octopus has enough venom to kill twenty six adults in only a few minutes! The most terrifying part about it is that the octopus is so small that most people don’t realize they’ve been bitten so they don’t realize until the symptoms start kicking in and it’s too late. People either get bitten while their swimming/exploring but some people purposely pick up the octopus because of its pretty colors and because it looks so small and harmless.

Fun fact: The 80's toy Teddy Ruxpin works by feeding the right track of the cassette tape (audio) to the speakers and the left track (animation signals) to the motors. The animation signals are tones that are processed as sort of an on/of switch that tells what part to move when and for how long. This was extremely advanced technology for a children's toy at the time, as it had only been seen at places like Disneyworld/Disneyland and family entertainment restaurents like Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese's. These types of robots are called audio animatonics, both because they're synced up to audio and are controlled by it. Depending on the cassette player, if you put a Teddy Ruxpin cassette into a regular cassette player, you might be able to hear the animation signals!

Fun fact: ravens are the only vertebrate species besides humans with an ability called time displacement (or the ability to plan ahead basically).

It wasn't until the game came out that we managed to see the full poster in the daycare, and the text on them.

fun fact: cat allergies don’t come from their fur, it comes from a protein in their saliva (then when they groom themselves it gets in their fur). there are some breeds of cats, most notably the siberian, that produce a lot less of that protein than most cats, so they’re good for people with cat allergies; unfortunately they’re not the kinds of cats you’d normally find in a shelter.

Although, that didn't stop him from being open with friends of his. He also shared a lot of left-leaning views as well. Once he was outed by a man he was in a short relationship with, his testimony indicated that not only was he unapologetic, but he believed that it shouldn't have been a crime in the first place.

[@mothclaws8019]

fun fact! the difference between moths and butterflies is entirely cultural, and there’s no feature that can taxonomically split lepidoptera into two clean groups. day-flying vs night-flying? many moths, particularly ones capable of feeding in adulthood, fly during the day, with several hawk moths being good, recognizable examples (particularly the ones that are more commonly referred to as “hummingbird moths”). wing position? see the lampeto metalmark for an example. antennae shape? while butterflies more typically have bulbed antennae, not all moth antennae are feathery, with many having slender, pointed antennae. primarily why they’re still seen as different is how many languages and cultures have separate words and superstitions for each group, with words and superstitious synonymous with butterflies tend to be applied to colourful, slender lepidopterans with bulb-tipped antennae.

[@mothclaws8019]

continued: another fascinating feature is that the mane of “fluff” that many lepidopterans have over their thorax (the part the legs attach to) is actually the same structure as the scales on their wings, both called “setae”. the ones on the wings are highly specialized, and catch air in ways that aid their flight, as well as colours that are made to blend in, or to scare off predators, or even to warn of their poisonous body (more scientifically referred to as “aposematism”) (take monarch butterflies for example, which are poisonous thanks to the milkweed their caterpillars feed on)
