Here are some random facts for you.
1. The human brain is a very efficient thinker. With roughly 100 billion neurons, our brain uses just 12 watts of power, which is less than an average light bulb. In contrast, a typical laptop processor needs about 150 watts, the world’s fastest supercomputers use over 21 million watts for all their applications, and one A.I. system, simulating a human brain’s thought process, would require around 2.7 BILLION watts.
2. It’s possible to literally be “allergic to other people.”
3. Wombat poop is cube-shaped. Scientists think it helps keep their droppings from rolling away, which wombats use to mark their territory.
4. A “contronym” is a word that can mean two things that are opposites, like how “rent” can mean that you’re the one renting something out, or the one doing the renting.
5. It’s illegal to burn a foreign country’s flag in Denmark, but it’s legal to burn the DANISH flag.
