The Fact of the Day Thread!! Post a fact that you find useful here :)

Makes sense. That's why I love cats, they're completely above the whole "owners" thing. I think they just assume people are very tall and very dumb cats who give them food and clean up their shit.

Your FOTD only affirms this. :D

That being said, I love dogs and cats, cats are just a lot easier to handle in a city environment.

I love dogs above cats for one major reason.....if I clean up their poop, feed them, give them shelter and love they should come to me when I call them. Dogs know this but cats are like spoiled children....they only come to you when they need something.
 
^You don't have to clean up a cat's shit, or feed it, or shelter it. Dogs are dependent on you, whereas a cat doesn't need you at all, which means that when it comes to see you, it actually wants to see you. I feel like there's mutual respect in the relationship, each party appreciating that the other sometimes needs a bit of space.
 
^My cat shits outside and buries it, sleeps outside, and eats rats, birds and whatever else it finds outside. It's a stone-cold killer, and I can provide it with nothing but company and affection. That's all either of us has to offer the other.

It's not about having a box full of cat shit in your house. The cat doesn't want it, you don't want it, it's just not great.
 
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was so convinced the White House was haunted that she kept a vial of holy water on her nightstand.

Indeed. Cats are capable of surviving in the wild while dogs are not. Going by that, I wonder if cats can truly be considered "domesticated" or not.
 
81.6% of statistics are made up on the spot.
We've already done that joke, sorry, you'll need to step up the game.
This is not a fact, it is a statistic.
Is there really a distinction there? Isn't any true proposition a fact? If I say that a coin lands heads up half the time, isn't that a fact?
 
FotD: If you can teleport someone; you can also create clones of that person or of anything thats being teleported.
Explanation: If you teleport someone you need to know the exact place of every atom in the subject. When you have that information you can apply it to create the subject anywhere you want and as many times you want(providing you have the materials).
Thoughts: Is it really you who manifests after the teleportation? you could just as well stay where you are and then the other "you" can be created in the destination.
 
That can't be true...do you have a source that isn't a list of fun facts? I'm actually going to have a look at my donkeys to see if this is plausible. To say that I am deeply skeptical is an understatement.

EDIT: I have observed donkeys and am satisfied that this is false. A donkey cannot see its back feet without making some effort to look at them.

I think it depends on how you define teleport. Using quantum mechanics and transporting them as data would indeed require the complete equation of a person, however if you could somehow open a worm hole or other portal between two locations it might not be required.
 
Henry Cavendish measured the density of the earth(from wich you can measure the mass of the earth and the gravitational constant) in his LIVINGROOM in the late 18th century. Basically he measured the gravitational attraction between a bunch of heavy led spheres.
 
In Nebraska you have to be 21 years of age to pose nude for photos. <---such a stupid law they have!
 
Dolphins are the horniest mammals in the sea; they also have a 20cm bone in their penises. So lets all go to their jail (aquarium) and swim with them with only spandex covering our body.
