I don’t have hobbies, I have random facts, and I deploy them on dates the way other people deploy eye contact. It works maybe a third of the time. The other two thirds, a man learns something he did not ask to learn, and honestly that’s his problem. This batch is fresh ammunition for my next awkward silence, so study it like there’s a quiz, because there is, and it’s on Thursday.
America measures feet in corn. That tracks.
Twelve cows: a flink. Eleven cows: a misunderstanding.
Somewhere a 1920s banana is very smug about this.
So the dinosaurs were never even coworkers.
The moose is just here for the hug.
Most expensive cat in history, zero missions completed.
The animal kingdom is clearly running without HR. Weird animal facts always sound like gossip from a nature documentary that got canceled, and this set has penguins with zero standards and slugs making permanent decisions on a whim. I once moved in with a man after two dates, so I’m not judging the slug. I’m just saying we should talk.
The human body facts feel like a personal attack. Weird facts about anatomy should come with a consent form, because nobody asked how many creases anything has, and now none of us can unknow it. The government stuff is my favorite kind of fun trivia, though. Somebody spent ten million dollars on a spy cat, and I can’t get my landlord to fix a cabinet.
Here’s my theory: we hoard useless information because it’s the one thing nobody can take from us, and also the one thing nobody wants. Sharing a weird fact is basically saying, I thought of you while learning something disgusting. That’s love. That’s the closest some of us get.
The cat is retired. The slug has no regrets. The date is going great.
