Farts!
oracleofstvincent
Are farts the secret to a vibrant life?💨
Uncover the stinky truth!
--- Hey there! Listen. I’m truly grateful you’re here, watching this, let alone reading these words. I do this because my mind craves those those odd, seemingly useless scraps of knowledge, and I can’t resist sharing with my family, so why not here? There’s a thrill in passing along something unique, in opening someone’s eyes to ideas they’ve never considered before.
More than that, I feel a deep need to hold onto history—beyond the big events, more specifically the personal, fleeting memories of those who lived them. There’s something powerful in honoring those moments, and our world is forgetting them at a relentless pace. It's concerning.
I’m not trying to be some YouTube star—I just want to pass on this love for life’s hidden gems to those who feel it: the magic of a 1952 moment reborn, rescuing stories nearly lost to oblivion, and sparking new ways to see the world. If you get it, you get it. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. And THANK YOU for even getting this far. If what I’m saying or doing speaks to you, I’d be so honored if you’d subscribe, and follow me on Spotify. It would mean everything to me. I know chances are you won't, and that's all good. In that case, I hope reading this made your day a little better.

Adolf Hitler's American Friend: Henry Ford

Yeah, it seems like History (and all of those people who purchased Ford cars) forgot this little fact over the last 80 years: Hitler was a huge fan of Henry Ford.

What's the (MASSIVE) Weight of a Neutron Star?
oracleofstvincent
Random Knowledge You Should know time!
Picture a neutron star: the universe’s ultimate “hold my beer” moment.
When a massive star goes supernova, it doesn’t just bow out—it crushes its core into a neutron-packed bowling ball so dense it makes a mountain look like a feather. We’re talking a 20-kilometer-wide sphere weighing as much as two Suns, about 2.8 x 10^30 kilograms.
Imagine scooping a teaspoon of this stuff—it’d weigh as much as Mount Everest, plus a few aircraft carriers for good measure. With gravity so strong it could make light rethink its life choices....

The Darvaza gas crater, aka The Door Way To Hell, and those crazy Soviets
oracleofstvincent
Deep in the middle of nowhere (aka the Desert of Turkmenistan), a Soviet drilling accident in 1971 accidentally opened up what locals now call the Gates of Hell — a massive crater that’s been on fire ever since.
Yep. That’s right: it’s been burning for half a century.
Bad Soviet decisions were made.

oracleofstvincent
Enter the octopus, Earth’s eight-armed enigma, a brainy blob that’s basically a deep-sea Darth Vader! With camouflage slicker than a Martian spy and ink clouds like smokescreens from Area 51, these creatures are surely ALIEN invaders chilling in our oceans! Did they slither from a crashed saucer, plotting to outsmart us with tentacle chess?
No.

Hugh Williams: The Man That Lives Forever?
oracleofstvincent
Does Hugh Williams Live Forever?
Meet Hugh Williams, the luckiest sailor to cheat death on the high seas!
Hugh Williams not one, but multiple shipwrecks, dodging icy waters and splintered ships like a time-traveling Houdini. Was he cursed by Neptune’s wrath or guarded by some cosmic gambler’s charm?
His name pops up in maritime disasters like a ghost in a storm, defying odds that’d sink a kraken.
Pure coincidence or fate’s favorite prank?
The actual answer... is much more simple than immortality.

Behold The Namibian Resurrection Plant - Nature's resilient, drought-defying comeback star
oracleofstvincent
Oh, behold the Namibian Resurrection Plant (Myrothamnus flabellifolia)!
A tough-as-nails shrub that owns the desert scene in Namibia. This plant shrugs off drought like it’s no big deal, drying out into a compact, fan-folded form for years, then bouncing back to life with a bit of water in mere hours.
Its leaves, lightly scented with a balsamic vibe, double as a traditional remedy for colds and wounds. A staple on rocky outcrops, it’s got the kind of grit and cultural clout that makes cacti look like amateurs.
And best of all... It gets up and moves! ---

Random Knowledge You Should know time!
As crazy as it may seem.... the first and last deaths were a father and son pair.
Surveyor J.G. Tierney drowned in the Colorado River on December 20, 1922, marking the project’s first death. Eerily, the last recorded death was his son, Patrick Tierney, who died exactly 13 years later on December 20, 1935, during the dam’s final construction phase.

Hey there! Listen. I’m truly grateful you’re here, watching this, let alone reading these words. I do this because my mind craves those those odd, seemingly useless scraps of knowledge, and I can’t resist sharing with my family, so why not here? There’s a thrill in passing along something unique, in opening someone’s eyes to ideas they’ve never considered before. More than that, I feel a deep need to hold onto history—beyond the big events, more specifically the personal, fleeting memories of those who lived them. There’s something powerful in honoring those moments, and our world is forgetting them at a relentless pace. It's concerning. I’m not trying to be some YouTube star—I just want to pass on this love for life’s hidden gems to those who feel it: the magic of a 1952 moment reborn, rescuing stories nearly lost to oblivion, and sparking new ways to see the world. If you get it, you get it. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. And THANK YOU for even getting this far. If what I’m saying or doing speaks to you, I’d be so honored if you’d subscribe, and follow me on Spotify. It would mean everything to me. I know chances are you won't, and that's all good. In that case, I hope reading this made your day a little better.
