Crazy stuff this decade

TIL that Romans weaved asbestos fibers into a cloth-like material that was then sewn into tablecloths and napkins. These cloths were cleaned by throwing them into a blistering fire, from which they came out unharmed and whiter than when they went in.

TIL that the United States Government, in response to a failing dairy market, began to stockpile millions of pounds of cheese in 1977. This stockpile still exists and now contains over 1.3 Billion pounds of cheese across the US.

TIL most successful startup companies aren't started by people in their 20s. The average age of founders who started a high-growth company is 45.\

TIL that America's first space shuttle, The Enterprise, was supposed to be called The Constitution but had its name changed after a massive write-in campaign from Star Trek fans. At the dedication, Gene Roddenberry and cast members from the show were in attendance.

Growing up is realizing you get more joy out of seeing others open presents than you do from opening your own

We only say “Hey stranger” to people we know.

If Home Alone was told from Harry and Marv’s point of view, it would probably feel more like Saw than a fun kids movie.
