The story goes like this: over 70 years ago a World War II soldier filled 31 rolls of film with pictures, and in 2014, The Rescued Film Project, recovered all 31 of those rolls. What follows, is a video showing what went into the development of these photos, and then as an audience, we even get to see some of them! Pretty neat.

Some pieces of trivia can stick around in cultural consciousness for way too long, especially if they're untrue. It can be tempting to repeat a myth just because it sounds shocking and "unbelievable." There are oodles of misconceptions that people have about the past and future that just never seem to die.
In 1986, the legendary author wrote this letter about the passing of his daughter 24 years earlier. This message still resonates today as a reminder of the dangers of not taking steps against the preventable disease. It's a bit of a shame that this message from almost 40 years ago is still relevant, but here we are.
If you need everyone to know just how thoughtful and knowledgeable you are, don't worry. We've got your back. The next time you're with a group of people, you can sling some of these facts their way and feel smart. It's OK, we all want to do it. And what better way to sound smart than to fire a few facts into a boring conversation!
If you're living in a rented or bought house, it is sure to have memories of the past tenants. Although it doesn't cross our minds much, the houses we live in are full of memories, good and bad, of the people who lived there before us. Sometimes, more than just memories are left behind. These Redditors all found something unexpected in the houses they bought or rented, either spooky as hell or hilarious. Read on below and next time you move into a new house, don't say we didn't warn you if you find something weird.
Times change quickly these days. Hell, 2009 was a whole different world from 2019. But imagine going back 110 years ago, to 1909. Things were way different back then. I would almost say incomparable, but fact number 1? sounds just like people today, so I guess we can't have changed that much. Anyway, if you rekcon you know some things about what went down in the 1900s, have a squiz at these weird facts. They are random as f*ck and make me glad that I'm not living back then. Plus, you'll be king/queen of the next trivia night you attend.
