Mozart had a sister who was also a genius composer, but was forced to quit her training to be more "marriageable."

Mozart was also a completely ungovernable furry with ADHD. He was a child genius, but that meant he was sitting in opera rehearsals as a bored teenager.

And when he’d get bored, he’d start finding ways to entertain himself. This included doing things like playing “the floor is lava” while using the orchestra members as platforms, and prancing around while loudly meowing.

And all of them basically put up with it, the same way that modern tour managers put up with annoying frontmen in popular bands.

i am now mad that this wasn't included in the movie

Mozart also invented a system that used dice to randomly generate music. My unverifiable theory is that he continued refining the system and it got so good that he used it to compose all his greatest hits and stopped telling anybody about his random music generator.

Pet is french for fart, and Mozart had a fart fetish. It also rhymes.

What if I replace most of my organs with younger ones? If a billionaire gets a whole body transplant, does that also de-age his brain?

Brb drugging my family with anti nausea medicine

Another example of things lasting far longer than people think is more years passed between the Stegosaurus and the T Rex than the T Rex to today.

Ancient Egyptians had higher education programs, almost like us and universities. One "major" was the equivalent to what would be archeology. As in, there were ancient egyptologists who studied an even more ancient Egypt.

They had archeologists, kind of wild when you think about it.

But I liked all of the drugs.

I have ADHD and I trend to get into a comfortabele alcohol Buzz every evening because it shows down the train of emotions. Amphetamines don't really feel good, nor do other drugs. I hate speed and weed.

People who are addicted to alcohol, without exception, have an underlying anxiety disorder.

People with ADHD and similar brain functioning tend to choose amphetamines.

I feel attacked…

Lol yeah its called self medicating

OK but you basically just did the mood axis what do the THC, opiate, dissociative anesthetic, and hallucinogenic users have?

Is this related to the cravings for certain food?

Hey! Same for Rush's YYZ. The morse code for Y-Y-Z (the airport code for the Toronto airport where the band no doubt spent a lot of time) is --.- --.- --.. which is a rhythmic motif that appears a bunch in the song in some ungodly meter I don't care to look up right now.

Ok that's pretty genius.

Practical use? None I can think of. But I love learning this. Thank you.

Strawberries are not berries.

Surely Watermelons are larger than pumpkins? Can they tie for first? Or is the largest pumpkin ever bigger than the largest watermelon?

Pythagoras advised followers to “abstain from beans because they are flatulent and partake most of the breath of life; and besides, it is better for the stomach if they are not taken, and this again will make our dreams in sleep smooth and untroubled” (Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers, 8.1.24).

Later, in a passage insinuating that the problem with the beans potentially resided in mystic ritual purification issues, Diogenes Laertius wrote that Pythagoras called for, “abstaining from meat and flesh of animals that have died, mullets, gurnards, eggs and egg‑sprung animals, beans, and the other abstinences prescribed by those who perform mystic rites in the temples” (Lives of Eminent Philosophers, 8.1.33).

Finally, in terms of potential symbolic reasons for the bean ban, Diogenes wrote, “According to Aristotle in his work On the Pythagoreans, Pythagoras counselled abstinence from beans either because they are like the genitals, or because they are like the gates of Hades . . . as being alone unjointed, or because they are injurious, or because they are like the form of the universe, or because they belong to oligarchy, since they are used in election by lot” (Lives of Eminent Philosophers, 8.1.34).

(Paragraph breaks mine)

This is "God Impregnated me" level unhinged, but with lower stakes. I infer he may have farted once with an attractive partner and it scarred him.

The Appalachian Mountains are 2-3x older than sharks.

I read that as "Sauron"'s rings. 🙃

Sharks are older than trees.

Significantly more aluminum, calcium, titanium, magnesium, and silicon. My understanding is that a large percentage of the moon was the earth's former crust.

I had this idea for a sci-fi short story that involved a long-lived alien that has been watching the earth since the solar system formed. It finally decides to speak to humanity and starts telling the story about how the earth formed from the collision of two bodies, and the humans are all "yeah yeah we know. Here's a movie we made of it" and the alien is all "WTF? How do they know that?"

If you took a horse's large intestine and stretched it out end-to-end, the horse would not survive.

I have one related, the diameter of the moon is smaller than Australia.

If every human held hand in a straight line around the earth a lot of them would drown

jokes aside, the vastness of space is incomprehensible https://www.joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html

I’m going to go out on a limb and say all of them would die for one reason or another.

Also, my first experience with the internet back in 1994 was a page of elephant jokes, I feel I’ve come full circle now.

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system

Did you know that if you took a blue whale, the largest mammal on earth, and laid it end to end, tail to mouth, on a basketball court, the game would be cancelled?

Every sixty seconds in Africa, a minute passes

It's hard to imagine any of them would live. I guess one near the top might survive by using the flood of elephant pieces to slow their fall. But an elephant can't survive a ~10 foot fall. That's about 2 elephants tall, and the bottom two or the ones I am most confident are dying in this.

Wouldn't you say that they'll all die? Some from lack of air and some from the weight of a gazillion other elephants on top of them

So, more than the 1 star in our solar system? Did you type that right?

Piss comes from blood!

Not with that attitude

But you can beat one long after it dies

Arthur has a bottle of horse reviver that would beg to differ.

Hell I can't

That's fast! They must take their supplements!
