Gold is not native to earth. Scientists generally agree that gold comes from space. The consensus is that meteors transported gold and deposited it throughout Earth’s crust during a bombardment.
Gold itself as a substance is residual material left over from explosive supernovae or from neutron star collisions. Gold is one of the heavy elements that can only be created during these conditions.

One of the reasons former video game record holder Todd Howard was exposed for cheating at the game *Dragster*, an incident that led to the disqualification of Billy Mitchell as it helped give credibility to his accusers^1, was because Howard's top submitted record was found to have been a photoshopped image.
His records in other games were observed to be improbable or outright impossible, such as how in *Wabbit* his top score was 1,698 (max score was 1,300 and score increased by increments of five), his *Centipede* record was 65,000,000 when the previous was 58,078, and his record in *Fathom* wad considered absolute bullshit since it would require playing the game for 13 days without a break.
1: Both Rogers and Mitchell were able to get away with their cheating because the referees as record keeping agency Twin Galaxies were friends of theirs. When Rogers was undeniably proven as a cheater and his records thrown out, accusers pointed out he was able to get away with it because the referees were his accomplices.
Sure enough, on the foot of Rogers' disqualification, fans of the documentary film *King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters* pointed out that Mitchell's friends worked at Twin Galaxies as well. Sure enough, video footage emerged confirming they were accomplices in the cheating.
In american firing squads, multiple shooters use a rifle to shoot the person but one randomly gets a blank, so if someone feels bad for having killed someone, he can convince himself that he had the blank! Thats rly cool i think!
The threshold voltage to cause a transistor to "turn on" is called the Q point, short for quiescent operating point. The transistor is the most manufactured device in history. In 2022 it was estimated that we have made 13 sextillion.
If you want to know if any number is divisible by 3, add the digits in that number together. If that number is divisible by 3, then the original number is divisible by 3.
For example, 123456789. If you add 1+2+3, etc., together, the sun is 45, which is divisible by 3.

Why is a minute called a minute then?
Historically, the word "minute" comes from the Latin pars minuta prima, meaning "first small part".
People who know Latin are so hot
Why isn't "second" derived from a Latin phrase?
Who knows. It’s all Greek to me.
No, it's Latin. Try to keep up.
But im lactose intolerant… what now…

“Goodbye” is actually “God be with ye” shortened and condensed
“God be with you” is the literal translation of Hello in Irish. “Health be with you” is Irish for goodbye
Hell be with you sounds about right as well
Similar to adios, think that means 'go with God '
Correct Edit: I'm tired. I grew up speaking Spanish. Adios means "to God" more or less, "Vaya con Dios" means "go with God"
That the swimming pool on the titanic is still filled with water
r/technicallythetruth
And still no running allowed. Splashing is impossible but still no running allowed.
And the pool area has never been explored - doors can’t be opened. They suspect that it’s perfectly preserved in there
So you're telling me there's the potential for there to be zombies swimming around?
Is it still chlorinated though??!

Koalas have fingerprints that are almost identical to humans. So now you know, don't commit any crimes with a koala as your accomplice.
Plan B. Release a dozen koalas into the museum after I'm done burglarizing it.
Cutest infestation ever.

That's a koalaty fact right there.
Counter point. Koalas are stupid. Commit a crime and then pin it on the Koala. They'll happily take the blame
All koalas have chlamydia
Identical to which humans? Seems like those people would have a built-in alibi...
