Update!!!

The previous channel was sold, and the username @GoogleFactss was ditched.

We’ve now retaken the name and are officially back. We hope some of our lost followers will find us again. Feel free to invite them and other people if they are interested.

The original owner sold the channel for personal reasons, and as soon as the username was released, we— the admins— rebuilt the channel. That’s why you may see a mix of reposts from the past along with new and original content as we rebuild everything.

The original contributors are still with us and will continue posting.

The chat was kindly gifted to us by the original owner so we could rebuild and continue the project.

Glaucus atlanticus is a small sea slug. It floats on the ocean surface and eats venomous creatures like the Portuguese man o’ war. It stores their stings in its body to defend itself, which makes it poisonous. Its bright blue color warns predators it is dangerous. It grows up to 3 cm and has both male and female organs, called hermaphroditism.

About 90% of adoptions in Japan are adult adoptions.
The practice is mostly used to continue family lines, pass on businesses, or manage inheritance.
Adopted adults can take the family name and become legal heirs.

Adoption can also happen in same-sex relationships, though such unions are not legally recognized in Japan.

Cats purr at frequencies between 25–150 Hz. These vibrations match ranges studied for bone and tissue growth. Vibrations in this range can trigger cell repair and strengthen bones. Scientists are studying purring to see if it may have healing effects. Purring produces gentle vibrations that move through a cat’s body and the surface it rests on.

Among the Suri and Mursi groups in southern Ethiopia, lip plates are a traditional symbol of beauty and social status for women. During puberty, a girl’s mother or another female relative may pierce and gradually stretch the lower lip so clay plates can be worn. In some cases, some lower front teeth (incisors) are removed before larger plates are inserted. 🌍🏺

Naegleria fowleri, the brain-eating amoeba, lives in warm freshwater like lakes and rivers. It can enter the body through the nose during swimming or diving. Once inside, it travels to the brain, causing primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), a rare and usually fatal infection. Most cases occur in the southern United States.
