trivia

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most useless facts that they ever came across. So many of us are walking around with heads full of trivia tidbits that don't actually serve any purpose in the majority of our lives. Might as well pocket some of these the next time a conversation needs to be spiced up by some random information, or you're trying to win a game of trivia. 

Get ready to soak up all this random knowledge about just how wild medieval battle tactics were. It's a true rollercoaster. 

Monty Python and The Holy Grail must be the most quotable movie ever. There are far too many chances to break out a one-liner from the movie in the middle of a conversation, or otherwise when it's totally uncalled for...just cause it was that great and deserves having homage paid to as much as possible. 

Apparently, that loveably stupid character was supposed to get more screen time, but it just didn't pan out. Between marketing and production of the movie, the creators realized they'd have to make a change. Hey, I'm still happy with their work. Also God bless Alan Tudyk, aka Wash aka Pirate Steve. For somefunny and cool knowledge about the original Jurassic Park, check this out.

You've always been living in a wild and strange world. These historical facts are a blatant reminder to that....

Knowledge exists all around us, and we can surprise ourselves with our ability to weave together one piece of knowledge into answering another moment's question. In this case, we're looking at the arts, and the role they've played in various Tumblr users' lives, and being able to use their Arts knowledge to their real world benefits! 

AlmightyThor117 says it best in the comments section: We're a bunch of grumbletonians with a kakistocracy led by a bunch of twattling snollygosters. 

Dare to be that person who keeps the small talk going at the next holiday dinner table, with tidbits of wildly unexpected knowledge. 

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. 

This is a goldmine for any Game of Thrones fan out there! You'll (probably) find 'em interesting even if you don't watch the show! 

Eye didn't know most of these. 

Need some random facts to ignite your brain this Saturday? Well boy do we have some fascinating facts here for you. Each of these facts are random and interesting enough to lead you down a rabbit hole of shower thoughts that could last for who knows how long. Plus, they'll boost your trivia knowledge like nothing else will. Trust us, this is a very useful boredom-killing activity. We know. 

These are closer to "alternative facts", but either way, a big thanks to the folks over at KickassFacts for keeping us ever entertained with a steady stream of factoids. 

Ignorance was truly bliss when it came to these unnerving nuggets of knowledge.
