Our brains, supposedly, should be good for keeping us alive by allowing us to remember vital information used for our survival. However, I often catch myself, especially in a minute of dire need, remembering weird facts that are totally useless, unrelatable, and just a tiny bit interesting rather than something truly helpful. Why on Earth do I remember stuff like who invented the dinner knife, that there are more lawn flamingos in the world than real ones, and how to cut bale twine with bale twine? It’s probably only the brain that could answer this question. But, be as it may, some of these useless facts do sometimes come in handy as they make excellent conversation starters or fill in the gaps of awkward silences, only to make them even more awkward afterward. And so here we are with our collection of random useless facts – they might be worthless, but they are hella entertaining.
So, you might want to know under which categories these funny useless facts fall. A short answer would be, ‘oh, you know, this and that.‘ More accurate would be this – sports, science, politics, history, biology, animals, music, pop culture, and plenty more. Basically, a random fact on any topic you’d like to learn something useless about! And you know what the best part about this list is? All of these bits of trivia are undeniably fun facts – none of them will weird you out or make you feel discombobulated, giving you pure enjoyment instead.
Now, are you ready for some totally useless but nevertheless very interesting facts? Of course, you are! So, scroll on down below, check them out, and give the coolest facts your vote. Also, we think your friends would like to read these useless bits of information, too, agree?
