Random Facts - RussEfarmer - 05-09-2020 It's been a tradition for about two years now on my private friend server to post whatever random facts we have on our mind at the time, so I figured I'd start a thread do the same here! Post any random facts that you find interesting that you've learned some way or another I'll start with a few: - Lead acid batteries produce hydrogen gas while being charged, and when jump starting/charging a vehicle battery, sparking from live charging terminals being moved can cause the hydrogen to ignite and explode. Disconnect the side not being charged first! - The Shepard Tone is an auditory illusion where a sound seems to increase in pitch forever. A famous example is the Super Mario 64 looping stairs. - The word "hazmat" is a contraction of "hazardous material" - There is a species of dinosaur named after Thanos. - The Philips Hue smart lightbulb has more computing power than the Apollo 11 moon lander. - If a human hand struck a live chicken at a velocity of at least 1,650m/s, it would theoretically have enough energy to completely cook the chicken, provided the chicken wasn't destroyed. - A lithium-ion battery does not have a linear charging time. A battery can take just as long or longer to charge from 80%-100% than from 0%-80%. Lithium batteries are at their most stable state between 40%-60% charge, which is why most products with a battery you order online come with about half charge. - If 99.9% of people on Earth were killed, there would be a microscopic chance that all people in California, Texas and North Carolina would survive intact - Wood has never been artificially synthesized in a lab.

Obviously, do not post joke graphs, but it has been shown in business and a few other areas that including a graph with your presentation will increase the chances of the other attendants accepting your deal, proposal, ideas, etc. even if the graph shows nothing new, or anything practically useful.
