#6 is not caused by the autism, it's something called Synesthesia. The shapes, colors or textures one associates is individual.
donth8appreciat
#6 never claimed it was caused by autism.
JohnMica
It implied it, though. I'm guessing that whoever wrote these misread the original article.

Omg where did you buy it?
FreeBaseBuzz
Found one on ebay for $5
BlackWolfLeon
Inherited from my grandfather. Kept safely stored away. No idea where he got his. But I can guess in the 70-80's era.
Ichose2
there's some on ebay, $20-$500 depending on how rare and ornate it is

Vodka is potatos. This means I can survive on vodka

That's really dangerous. You have to add some butter in there to live.

#5 Those are based on a Chevy s10. By no means fuel efficient but its not 10mpg..
dogfavoriter
I would wager it'd be hard for anything but a hybrid to get more than 10 mpg with the stop/start/stop/start pattern mail trucks do on route.
DieselWolf
Yes, but the I4 in S-10s are notoriously thirsty. My Vortec V6 5speed gets consistent 24mpg, while my buddy's 2.2 auto struggle to get 18.
DieselWolf
And I race the shit out of mine.
DieselWolf
AND it's an S-10 Blazer, as opposed to a standard short bed S-10 of my buddy.
Rapturr
#2 is total bull shit. The materials we use now are highly fire retardant.
FavaBeansAndChianti
Out of curiosity though, do the times factor in all the stuff the home is filled with? Clothing, plastic containers, furniture, carpet, etc?
TemporaryUzername
yeah, we actually have minute/fire ratings on each piece of plywood/drywall now- and in some buildings its mandatory
zFUBARz
But have you considered things like the near eradication of asbestos?
Teevo83
I figure the frequency of fires is down due to retardant, but once it's lit, it's like a fat kid with a twinkie.
TayTay051
No, you're retardant

TheScarfyDoctor
I was gonna say, more often than not synthetic house materials must pass rigorous fire testing: sauce, my Dad is a contractor
Huemanatea
Firefighter here, it's absolutely true. The plastics and modern materials we use in furniture burn much faster that the natural 1/2
Kommanche
Maybe in the US. In the EU there are very strict regulations regarding flame retardant.
Huemanatea
The fire retardant just makes it harder to start the fire. Once it gets going it burns hotter and faster.
Kommanche
Source?
Huemanatea
Materials we used to use. This is one of the first things they tell you in the academy.
heynongman4pres
Maybe, but aren't frequency of and severity of fires way down across the board over the last 50 years?
fistermatic5000
Well sure, but that's because of fire codes getting better.

The 9/11 one is bollocks too - there was that famous Saudi flight out too.
notsureIwanttodothisjustyet
The Saudi flights all took place well after US airspace had been reopened.
automaticallymoderated
And Air Force One relocating the president for his address to the nation, and again after.
CapsShield
And the F-16 on Defense flight over DC at 8pm at night.
Loadie25
I also know specifically of a Canadian Air Medivac mission as well. And many countries fighter jets were doing patrols.

im highly suspicious of this one. how would he even mase the team in the first place?
dxrghxr
#2 probably because of asbestos.
Qumefox
#5 The bad fuel economy has been used as a reason to replace the USPS fleets, but what nobody mentions is that even best technology 1/2
ThereWereThingsAndStuff
Mine has 106000 miles on it and you can tell they've been rough miles. We need new vehicles for other reasons too. Safety and cupholders!
Qumefox
2/2 internal combustion engines wouldn't get much better mileage than this because of how they're driven. lots of idling and stop and go.
YatekMorah
Hence hybrid: petrol to electric power, and that to electric engine is best for now, until we perfect really efficient & cheap batteries.
Qumefox
The only benefit of a hybrid over a pure electric at this point in time is not having to plug it in to charge it.
YatekMorah
ICE is used only to power the electric engine and battery hence it does not suffer from start-stop-idle-start issues pure ICE do.
YatekMorah
There are two kinds of hybrids, ICE to electric power only, and ICE to electric AND wheels. Latter is indeed pointless.
Qumefox
Hybrids are a waste of money. They have the exact same battery issues electrics do, which is the packs have to be replaced every 4-5 years
YatekMorah
Lol, ok, my friends Toyota has 8 year warranty just for the battery.
toofrunktoduck
Since he one about fire is complete and utter bullshit (everything is pumped full of fire retardants) I'm going to assume all the rest are
FiveFingerDeathPunchYourFarthole
Let's set your house on fire, and we'll see!

Jokes on you. I live in an igloo.

nah there is a lot of research done to back it up. Once the fire is going it spreads much quicker now than in the past

Potatoes are high in everything and contain every amino acid the human body cant produce on its own but needs. Its literally a multi vitamin

Totallynotmyrealname
these extremely short snippets are true. 2/2

I always just automatically assume all of these are misinformation bc at this point I've read so many that are obviously completely false.
jrblast
A few are correct, if not poorly written. But most seem to be incorrect.
eathotdog
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_LLV so thats more or less true.

Agreed. #18 forgot that Bin Laden's family was flown out of D.C. right after
snickerdougal
I can confirm the second one as being true working in the fire protection field but thats it
AkiyamaRuss
thats also likely far more relevant for certain places as us and europe have different fire codes

Honestly, from what I've seen everyone in the comments say they are fake but when I look them up they have consistently been legit.

Most of these are embellished or purposefully leave out key information to change them from interesting facts to wtf facts.

I came here to say exactly this. Thank you, ma'am.

I know for a fact that the false awakening one is true, as I have experienced it myself multiple times. The rest, well, I don't trust much
AngryOldMan
You know for a fact that 70% of people have, because you have. You're retarded.
xtmmxreaper
I can also confirm the one about the hypnic jerk, I have experienced it multiple times as well
ItsMidnightSomewhere
I have false awakening dreams ALL the time, sometimes several times a night/nap. Takes me a minute to figure out if I'm really awake.
JohnMica
I have this almost every morning, but I don't think 70% of people do.

#4 is true :)
motherofmoose
You have the best username. LMM would be so proud of you!

6 is also true saw something about it might've been Stan lees real super humans, but the dude can memorize 1000s of digits of pi and says

He makes landscapes and sculptures with the shapes numbers have
FavaBeansAndChianti
#4 was definitely featured on a PBS documentary. Even perhaps a BBC doc.... Now I have to go hunt.
StopStaringAtMyUserNameItsVeryShy
They talked about it in The Blue Planet I think
IWasADrabLittleCrabOnce
If you google scholar whale falls there should be hundreds of examples in the literature
FavaBeansAndChianti
Came here to say just this. I know I saw a good documentary on it as well. Featuring hagfish, crab, shrimp, & so on. Creepy but fascinating.
zFUBARz
#3 is true, apparently It can be pretty disorienting being in there, Although it doesn't make you go crazy like some claim.
Toramino
you can visit this room?
zFUBARz
Can't remember where I initially saw it, but it was a myth busters type crew. So you and I can't, but some people can.

Yeah, seemed pretty cool

I'm pretty sure anybody can. There's a few thrpughout the world, too.

No 2 is very wrong at least inside of the EU, maybes americans burn a lot though
LordCastellanCreedtheSupremeCommanderofCadia
But what has the EU ever done for as, except those safety regulations, and maybe a few other things as well? /s
reaperhead
As an American Firefighter, the speed of fire is very true, the temp is debatable. Keeping doors & windows closed can add several minutes
arranrp
I'm sorry to hear thats another way your government does not take care of citizens, must make an already hard job much harder for you
reaperhead
A lot of it stems from post-WWII and the baby boomer gen needing lots of cheaper quick built homes. Industry just went on from there.
reaperhead
It is getting better in some places though. Sprinkler systems are now mandatory in all new construction in my state.
millenniumf
It depends on if the house is occupied at the time, because body fat is an excellent accelerant.

Let me tell you about a totally natural, very flammable and terrifically popular building material: wood.
Kommanche
Houses in the UK tend to be built primarily from brick
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
I was making fun of one of the facts... duh...
arranrp
for almost four hundred years now
IridescentPearlescentIncandescent
It wad a joke. Mocking one of the "facts". Anyhow, wood is still a popular material in the rest of the world.
Kommanche
And before that it would be large stone blocks. My old school was built in the 16th century and was made primarily of Sandstone.
arranrp
before that it often was wood, but great fire of london only left the stone ones standing

anecdotal, and maybe just applies to mattresses, but really old ones acted like they were soaked in gas when we took one to the burn pile
whatevenarecats
Well are you going to tell us how to cheat slot machines???
AchtuallyRetarted
Plausible because some people win slots for living. I personally have won lots of money on certain machines (250k) but have spent lots too
ILikeToCheckUsernames
I mean, winning only 21k, it can't be THAT effective
Corbinator

There are actually quite a few cases of slot machines having software bugs that can be taken advantage of. There are a lot of gambling(1)

forums that are invite only where people go to post this info and work together to find new stuff. It is actually a really interesting(2)

subculture. My old roommate's dad was super into it. I can tell you that making good money is REALLY rare though.(3)

They figured out the algorithm for the random number generator. It's impossible to program a computer to generate a random number.
DrArbitrary
Only for one manufacturer, the other ones apparently have more elaborate algorithms.
luakan
Is this true? Or just doctor ref?
DarkUranium
False. At least the part about it being impossible to program a computer to generate a random number, when it has many sources of entropy.
DrSparken
Computers use existing data to generate its random numbers which can never be truly random - same data makes same number. The only way 1/
DrSparken
for true randomness is to actually use a radioactive source and sensors, which is obv illegal for your average computer, and many cases 2/
DrSparken
do make use of the predictability - eg. physics puzzle games will reset to the same randomness at the level start so it works the same 3/
DarkUranium
This is patently false. Plenty of sources of entropy are available, even in a home computer.
DrArbitrary
I know for a fact that the affected machines measure fan speed and temperature.
DarkUranium
Yeah, that might not quite be enough. Especially if the postprocessing is poor.

FactCheckerExtraordinaire
A standard random generation algorithm (useful for most things) usually just takes the current time as the seed (or similar) 1/2
DarkUranium
A note: what you're describing is a PSEUDO-random number generation. (1/2)
FactCheckerExtraordinaire
But you can take into account pretty much anything (CPU load, temperature, previous number of plays, just to name a few) 2/3
DarkUranium
Look into implementations of /dev/random on Unix machines. That thing is cryptographically-secure, and truly random (not just pseudo-random)
