Let's teach each other stuff

[Fusion X. Denver]

The starting member (me) will post something they'd like to know about, let's say about sharks,

then the member who replies to them has to post a (fun) fact about sharks, such as they have to keep swimming or else they'll die. And then that member says something they want the next person to teach them about.

You could post more than one fact if you want, but you don't have to. 

 

I want to learn about cheese.

[Tinkerer]

It is delicious.

 

Tell me about bricks!

[Rodrigo]

Bricks are made with clay in big furnaces.

 

Tell me about Nikola Tesla (it's his birthday today)

[Fusion X. Denver]

Bricks are actually made of kneaded clay-bearing soil, sand and lime, or concrete material. And then it's fire-hardened or air-dried through masonry construction.

 

Tell me about the new dinosaur they just found.

EDIT: There we go.

Nikola Tesla was born during a goddamn lightning storm in the middle of the night.

The midwife claimed he would be cursed as a child of darkness, but his mother said he'd be born a child of light.

[Simping For Hina]

Are you talking about the Wendiceratops? It is an ancestor to the Triceratops, which it also established the origins of the nose horn. Weirdly, though.

 

 

Teach me about playing an instrument.

I mean, there's an awful lot to write about Outer Space, but I'll give you a very brief look at some of it. (Like, the really basic version of stuff I did in my degree course on it)

 

Outer Space is like a 97% vacuum, and is huuuuuge. Bigger than the human mind can actually fathom, and the vast majority of it is simply huge portions of nothingness. Take just our solar system, consider how big the effective sphere of our galaxy is (So a Sphere with a radius from the sun to Pluto. And consider how little of it is occupied by Planets, and it says a looooot). Oh it's also still expanding at an increasing rate according to our best guesses so we have the slow heat death of the universe to consider. 

 

Teach me about... Idk, the appeal of pop music to the masses? 

[Fusion X. Denver]

So the first metal bands were Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple during the late 1960s, and the genre's roots were in blues rock and psychedelic rock. Critics weren't too kind to them, but Judas Priest ended up spurning the genre's evolution a bit by discarding their blues influence from their music while Motorhead introduced an emphasis on speed and a punk rock element to metal. Bands like Iron Maiden and Saxon would follow in a similar fashion, and it was around this time fans became known as metalheads. Underground scenes during the 1980s had a more aggressive style that brought on Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, etc. 

And finally, the 1990s started bringing in other styles from grunge or hip hop, bringing bands like Linkin Park or Slipknot.

 

Oh, and this isn't relevant to the history, but I thought it was interesting. A documentary film crew was able to attract great whites by pumping death metal music through the water. Apparently it's a well-known tactic by shark hunters.

 

Teach me about Saturn.

[TF2_The_Scout]

It's the planet right after Jupiter. It's rings are composed of rocks and dust. The planet itself is a gas giant. Saturn is also the Roman God of agriculture.

 

Teach me about the best way to tell people how awesome I am.

[Fusion X. Denver]

You go up to them and say your name is egotisticalghost. If they don't get it, they're just bakayaro konoyaros.

 

Teach me about the ginger gene.

[GarlandChaos]

Uh.

Gingerbread is made of it?

 

Teach me about boobs.

[Tinkerer]

Natural ones are made from fatty tissue, so they float. Fake ones do not float.

 

Teach me about string theory!

[Queen of the Abyss]

It basically describes when 3D goes to 1D

 

Teach me about the Zoharistic Qabalah
