What does “today years old” mean?
Sometimes we learn something new that makes us think, “How did I not know this all along?!” Sometimes it’s been right in front of our face the whole time, and sometimes it’s a new obscure fact that we’re just now discovering. Either way, this trivia is fun to learn and share!
1.
If you’re like me, you’re now wondering just how fast a T-Rex could walk. I used to imagine thundering steps racing through the forest. Turns out, scientists have shared that the average walking speed of a T-Rex was just 2.86 miles per hour. Wow!.
2.
I don’t know that I ever paid attention to different patterns on a giraffe before. Can scientists tell giraffes apart by their patterns? Do giraffes at different zoos have different patterns? So many questions!
3.
Watch this a few times to take it all in. What do you get when two giraffes collide? A giraffic jam! But seriously, why are giraffes so slow to apologize after they fight? Because it takes them a long time to swallow their pride.
4.
Red bell peppers are delicious, sweet, and crisp. Green peppers just taste like crunchy water. Some things are definitely worth the wait.
5.
Most of us don’t have a scanner readily available when we need it (or ever at all). This hack makes life much easier since our phones are always around. Save this one for later!
6.
We definitely need to pay attention to this one since lots of makeup took a hiatus during quarantine for the past year. Now if only I could remember when I actually opened these products…
7.
I’m sure the aquarists wanted to do something nice for the sea urchins. I’m also 100% positive they smile a huge, dopey smile every time they look at one of these cuties. How could you not?
8.
Sometimes we get to enjoy just how clever other people are and this is definitely one of those times.
9.
Is it just me or do some of the cashews look angry? It’s like they know that they’re going to end up losing those little hats and be a delicious snack for someone.
10.
Here’s another fun play on words. The peculiarities of the English language lend themselves to some pretty original sayings, but along the way we can forget where they came from.
11.
I’ve heard of slicing cake with floss, but this is the first time I’ve seen wine glasses used. It looks like the perfect way to make sure you don’t lose any frosting and it cuts down on dishes!
12.
Obviously, as soon as I read this I had to test it. I never slowed down to pay attention to how the snapping sound is made. The fun part is telling your friends and watching all of them test it out.
13.
This photo makes these bats seem bigger than they actually are (on average 10 inches long and 8-15 ounces heavy) but I never imagined bats having such an interesting face. I did learn it’s the largest bat on the African continent!
14.
Not until the moment I read this tweet did I realize this fact. Of course, there are 4 quarts in a gallon, just like there are 4 quarters in a dollar. Now I just need to remember how many pints and cups are in a gallon.
15.
I tested this out of course, and found that it actually works whether you swipe right or left, right across the numbers at the top. I can’t begin to estimate how many times I’ve cleared after typing one digit incorrectly.
16.
I truly laughed out loud at this. Don’t we all wonder how future generations will look back on the current history being created? Someday the pandemic will be a distant memory, and Gen Z will cry at the thought of being connected to Boomers.
17.
Picasso was born in 1881 and died in 1973. I won’t lie, I also thought he lived centuries ago, not decades. The upside to this is that unlike many artists, when Picasso died he was wildly rich and famous. He was able to enjoy others appreciating his art within his lifetime.

It’s the ears for me. They look pretty cute and cuddly, but in reality, these little bunnies are slugs. And super toxic. You know what they say— looks can be deceiving.
19.
What else would we expect from the origin country of Hello Kitty? I’m also blown away by the incredible emergency preparation!
20.
I know I’m not the only one who pictured peanuts growing on trees or bushes instead of in the dirt. And I NEVER imagined them growing in giant clusters like these.
21.
I already knew that the actors for David and his dad (Daniel and Eugene Levy) were actually father and son. It took me a much longer time to find out that Sarah Levy, who plays Twyla, is Daniel’s sister!
22.
I’m afraid to consider how much time I’ve spent searching through the appropriate category to find one specific, rarely used emoji. Are you telling me this option has been available the entire time?!
23.
Now I want to know who else thought this. And how many people are shocked every time they see a tweet like this because they, too, thought ponies were baby horses.
