1. The continents look entirely different than you think they do.
The map you’re used to is more Western-focused and stretches out the size of continents near the poles. Africa and South America are actually way bigger.
Here’s a more accurate representation of the world, according to the The Gall-Peters Projection map, created in 1885.
2. If you believe that you’re truly one in a million, there are still approximately 7,184 more people out there just like you.
Because there are over 7 billion people.
3. There are castles and even lighthouses that are less expensive than NYC apartments.
4. The United States hasn’t even made it into the Top 50 list of longest-lasting empires.
5. 10 percent of the entire world population is still illiterate.
6. You thoroughly enjoy celebrating some pretty dark holidays.
For example Labor Day was created as a bandaid to coverup multiple massacres of American workers.
7. A whole ecosystem lives in your belly button.
Scientists found 2,368 different species of bacteria living in belly buttons after swabbing the navels of just 60 people.
8. You can’t see as many colors as a chicken. You’ll also never see all the beautiful colors of a rainbow.
9. We haven’t figured out the secret to immortality, but this jellyfish has.
10、The Turritopsis nutricula can live forever by reverting back to its early stage of life after becoming sexually mature.
1.大陸板塊本來(lái)的樣子跟你認(rèn)為的完全不一樣。
你習(xí)以為常的這種地圖更多地是以西方為中心，它拉伸了兩極附近大陸的大小。非洲和南美洲實(shí)際上要大得多。
這里有一個(gè)更精確的版本，是根據(jù)1885年創(chuàng)建的Gall-Peters投影地圖：
2.如果你真的相信自己是百萬(wàn)里挑一，那還有大約7,184多個(gè)人和你差不多。
因?yàn)槭澜缟嫌谐^(guò)70億人。
3.有些城堡，甚至燈塔，都比紐約的公寓便宜。
4.美國(guó)甚至還沒(méi)進(jìn)入“史上最長(zhǎng)命帝國(guó)50強(qiáng)”名單。
5.世界人口的10%仍然是文盲。
6.你實(shí)際上在慶祝一些很黑暗的節(jié)日。
例如，勞動(dòng)節(jié)是為了掩蓋針對(duì)美國(guó)工人的幾場(chǎng)大屠殺而創(chuàng)建的。
7.你的肚臍眼中存在著一整個(gè)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。
科學(xué)家在僅僅從60個(gè)人的肚臍眼中取樣后就發(fā)現(xiàn)里面生存這2,368不同種類的細(xì)菌。
8.你能看見(jiàn)的顏色比雞少。你也看不到彩虹里所有美麗的顏色。
9.我們還不知道如何不朽，但這種水母知道。
10.燈塔水母可以通過(guò)在性成熟之后回復(fù)到其早期階段來(lái)永久存活。
