Really Real Science Facts

Everyone can breathe underwater but only once.

Neil deGrasse Tyson lives in an alternate timeline where everything he says is true and is well received, prompting him to tweet more in our timeline.

Wishing on a star seldom generates results because the stars chosen are often too far away. The Sun is much closer and therefore has vastly superior wish conductivity.

Up until four to seven months of age, object impermanence renders babies incapable of knowing that things exist even when they can't see them. For this reason, babies hate going to sleep in fear that the world is going to disappear. This fear, whether dormant or active, is what keeps children from wanting to nap.

When coyotes howl as a collective, it means that a coyote from another pack has crossed into their territory, similarly to how babies will scream endlessly when an enemy baby is nearby.

In 1605, Daryll Shuerning discovered the narwhat, a species of gnat that unexplainably resembles a narwhal, which is native to the Bolivian border of Peru. Shuerning's discovery was later discredited because too many people were mispronouncing it as "nar-what" instead of "narwh-at."

Everyone looks like thumbs. Because of this, recent breakthroughs in iPhone technology cannot differentiate between thumbs and faces.

Carnivous plants cannot digest teeth, hair follicles, or meat. The majority of their diet is made up of keratin from toenails.

Because human males have only one allele for X-linked traits, they are considered stupid.

In 2007, it was discovered that lightning doesn't really look like that. What we are actually seeing is the effects of lightning striking an object just before it does.

Fruits and vegetables have multiple different stages in life: seedling, unripe, ripe, old, and mold. Some go into an extra stage known as "mipe" in which the fruit/veggie has molded and decayed to the point of being edible once more. This process is what was used to turn milk into cheese.

A man's foot is approximately equal to the length of his shin bone. Whereas a woman's is approximately equal to their forearm. This is due the the evolutionary trait know as pod-span equalablism. It allowed our primate ancestors to successfully run, climb, catch food, and determine ones sex.

If a radioactive spider bites you, you will inherit its powers and physiological traits. If you bite the spider back, it shall take on your traits as well. Soon, you will both mutate to the point of becoming identical spiderfolk.

Girls' bodies go through very different changes compared to boys'. For example, at age fourteen, a girl's eyelashes grow out and connect the upper and lower lids, creating a baleen-like structure. This is used to filter krill into the pupils more easily.
