Rhinos always look so effortlessly powerful... This is crazy!

Forget cloud storage. A scientist just saved a digital file… on a bird.

A starling memorised a sound that encoded a PNG image. Days later, it sang it back, and the picture reappeared on a spectrogram.

Yes. Someone turned a bird into a living, flapping hard drive.

Scientists just used a starling as a storage device. Yes, an actual bird.

Forests aren’t just catching fire anymore. They’re arming themselves...

As the planet heats up, trees pump out volatile oils and resins that act like natural lighter fluid. Pines, eucalyptus, even Christmas trees are basically stockpiling their own gasoline.

The result? Forests that don’t just burn, they explode!

Climate change isn’t just drying forests. It’s turning trees into their own arsonists.

There’s a car stranded on a pile of rocks in the middle of the Minnesota River.
No bridge. No road. No explanation.

It’s been there since 2012, rusting away, immortalised on Google Maps as Volvo Island.
Nobody knows how it got there, which is exactly why everyone’s obsessed.

Theories range from ice-road prank to secret art project, but the mystery only makes it better.

A Frenchman once ate an entire airplane.
Not a metaphor. Not a magic trick.

Michel Lotito dismantled a Cessna 150 and ate it piece by piece... The wings, seats, even the engine block, over two years. Guinness certified it.

And that wasn’t even his weirdest meal.

Michel Lotito’s stomach was tougher than steel, and he proved it by dining on it. Literally.

One paper. Twelve kids. A fraud so big it rewired global health.
In 1998, The Lancet published a study claiming vaccines cause autism.

It was fake. The author was paid off. The data was manipulated. The paper was retracted.

But the lie outlived the truth, fuelling outbreaks, deaths, and a myth that still limps on today...

This one's going to end a lot of misinformed arguments...

Purple doesn’t exist.
It’s not in the rainbow. It’s not a wavelength. Physics refuses to acknowledge it.

That purple shirt in your closet? Your brain stitched it together out of red + blue and signed the paperwork.

Royalty, fashion, and Prince’s Purple Rain are all built on a hallucination.

Purple is a cosmic con job. Your brain made it up.

Cut off a cockroach’s head and it keeps walking. For days.
Not an urban legend , but it is biology.

They breathe through holes in their sides, their nerves run on backup “mini-brains,” and their open circulation means no dramatic bleed-out.

They don’t die from decapitation. They die from dehydration.
