I'm not talking about "I've found my estranged father," or some life-changing shit like that.
Just some answer to a seemingly irrelevant, yet exceedingly annoying stupid question you've had for years.
I'll go first...
Q - Why do they [bars, restaurants, McDonald's] pour gallons of ice cubes into the urinals in men's bathrooms?
A - Becuase it apparently reduces the odor.

I learned why I see idiots walking about with furry animal tails hanging out their pants.
I learned why no matter how I try to get my teeth white they never get there. Gingers have a reddish pigment in their teeth.

I learned that if you have a bunch of lightning bugs, you won't have fire ants. Because lightning bugs love fire ant larvae.

Somebody is feeding you a line of Bullshit....... We have lightning bugs up here & fire ant mounds galore..... The ants are still here and growing in population....

Not stupid, but perhaps trivial:
Roger Bannister is still alive.
My dad was in the Air Force; from first to fifth grades I attended four schools in as many states. In each school I read in a textbook about Roger Bannister's boyhood injuries and how he overcame them to be a famous runner. In adulthood, when I thought of him and his inspiring story, I assumed that he had long since passed away.
A few weeks ago I was talking about schooldays to my wife, who didn't remember ever reading about him, so I looked him up in wikipedia.
I'm forty-six. I first read about Roger Bannister forty years ago. He's still alive.

Whoops. What I meant to say is that if you have lightning bugs you don't have a lot of fire ants, because fire ants eat lightning bug larvae. Which may or may not be true, but last year I had lightning bugs, and no fire ants, and this year I had less lightning bugs, and a minor amount of fire ants.
But most importantly, I learned that some people are just plain ole grumpy. You would think after having their bitch slapped out of em, they might mellow a little bit, but that don't work one iota. :tongue:

Amazing - broke the 4-minute mile barrier. And he's still kicking.

The smartest dog in the world is the Border Collie.
2 Presidents owned Newfoundland dogs.===Lewis and Clark took a Newfoundland dog on their trip out west and when the Indians caught the dog they threatened to kill all Indians in the settlement if the dog was harmed and not returned.
FDR was so in love with his Scottie Falla that there is a statue of the dog at his feet in W. DC
Bill Clinton's dog , Buddy was the only friend he had that he could talk to without wondering if the conversation would be leaked.
This I am not so sure of but I do remember there is a Statue of an Irish Wolf Hound in Denmark??? Seems the dog was the beloved pet of the king and after leaving his baby in the care of the dog he came home to find blood everywhere and no baby. He killed his dog only to find the baby safe and a dead Wolfe behind the curtains. Story is the king forever after never smiled.
The storeys of men in combat and the dogs that lived with them slept beside them and died to protect them--then the storeys of our combat troops that moved heaven and earth to bring home their dogs only to see them killed as not suitable for life in America. SOB's that prevented this.

Uh, the title of the thread is "Name One Stupid, Trivial Fact You've Learned via the Internetz..."
I'd say Michelle Obama's fashion sense is stupid all by itself. No need for additional sarcasm indicators.
Bitchslapped for being inflexible.

It really does reduce the odor? I don't know about that, the urinals that I've seen with ice cubes in them don't seem to smell any better than those without.

Years ago I learned that manhole covers were round because that reduces the total amount of space needed for access.

man, that's pretty obscure.
-

I think that's wrong. They are round because it is a shape that doesn't allow the cover to be manipulated in such a way that the cover could pass through the hole.

Oh yeah, that's it. So much for remembering the trival facts.

That's primarily due to the fact that most of us don't hang around in some Panama City, "Sailor, wanna hump-hump?" bar....

St. Jerome (circa 347-420) was the first person in history who could read without moving his lips.
Actually, I learned that in an old--I think from the 1930s--issue of the New Yorker magazine, not on the internet. In case one doubts, the New Yorker used to have "fact-checkers" on their staff, and in its heyday the New Yorker was famous for being accurate.
Not so much the past 35-40 years, though.

Unless, like my idiot cousin, you try to use a 30" lid on a 36" manhole, then it falls straight to the bottom and stays there for 30 years

That is such a bizarre thought. Reading silently is so second nature for me, that the idea of people not being able to is somewhat incomprehensible.

The Bible has also been translated into lolcat speak.
Nikola Tesla (one of my favorite guys from history EVER) At the Chicago Columbia Exposition of 1893, he sent 200,000 volts through his body to prove that electricity was safe. It was, although his hair stood on end for a week.
and
By the age of five, young Tesla had already invented his own waterwheel and read the 100-volume set of the Complete Voltaire. By comparison, we could, um, count to 10 and pretty regularly avoid peeing on ourselves.
and
Tesla once predicted, “The household’s daily newspaper will be printed ‘wirelessly’ in the home during the night.â€
That guy just blows my mind!

Tesla was an absolute genius and way ahead of his time. He was also robbed of many of his inventions.

Now THAT is interesting. :rotf:
