25 Random Facts To Add To Your Internal Arsenal Of Useless Knowledge

Published 2 weeks ago

It is a fact of life that we tend to take many things for granted these days. For example, if a woman wants to become a Doctor, she simply enrols and learns her field of study to contribute her abilities to the art of healing. In times gone by, however, women were so restricted from using their talents that providing their services and assisting other humans in recovery was an unheard-of notion that could cause a huge stir and would probably result in strict retaliation against the offender. So much so that one woman had to spend 56 years pretending to be a man just so she could study medicine and save lives while working as a medical officer in the army.

Such was the way of the world and the mentality of society at large at one time. Though we have taken massive strides in the direction of change, acceptance and equality, many unbelievable facts have come to light that reveal what a tedious path evolution has been for mankind to get to this point. Today, we’ve perused the ‘Weird Facts’ Instagram account to find their most thought-provoking educational facts that may reveal aspects of the collective human experience that usually go under the radar, but have affected the trajectory of our evolution as a species nevertheless.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
