If there's one thing I really like, it's learning fun random facts that I'll probably forget about in a few days.

I want some more cool people on my whitelist. So to get whitelisted, all you have to do is share a fun fact! Doesn't matter if it's a random fun fact about an animal or some weird science fact, or even if it's not so fun!

For example, recently, I found out you can't hum if you hold your nose closed.

I'm also having a whitelist-only giveaway here. (Level 0 and unfortunately regional restricted. Steam keys should have 0 restrictions on them >:()
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/Olo99/
ENDED!

Edit: Whew! I was trying to reply to all the comments but there's so many! I don't wanna endlessly bump my own thread with all my comments. Thanks for wanting to be a part of my whitelist, guys. Altho I (probably) won't respond to your comment, I'm still whitelisting, I promise!

Dwarf galaxies seem to be much more ordered (many in a plane, many moving in the same direction (forgot if it was clock or anticlock wise) around major galaxies than models suggest (models predict more randomness).

Seeing as you're asking for facts, or trivia... Trivia is the Roman goddess of magic and crossroads, and you could only sense her presence by the barking of dogs (who, presumably, could see her?).

Many animals are actually able to predict earthquakes to varying levels of success. Yet, snakes are the most reliable, sensing earthquakes from as far as 75 miles away (121 km).

What’s more impressive is that they can sense an earthquake as many as five days before it actually occurs!

When snakes sense an earthquake, they often leave their nests, even if the temperature is too cold.

Bulls aren't infuriated by the red color.
Bulls, along with all other cattle, are color-blind to red. Thus, the bull is likely irritated not by the muleta's color, but by the cape's movement as the matador whips it around.

There are more ways to arrange a deck of 52 cards than there are atoms in the earth, approximately 8.0658175e+67. Take a deck, shuffle it as you please, and you can be pretty much certain that you got an unique combination that no one before you has done.

Pyrrhus (origin of 'pyrrhic victory') was killed in battle after someone allegedly threw a roof tile at him, knocking him off his horse and paralyzing him. Obviously, this is one of those things where no one really knows if it's true, but it's still a weird "fact" that historical sources mention.
