The hashtag’s real name is the octothorp

@acres  
Huh. I thought it was pound.

@Officer Hotpants  
It’s also the number symbol.

@Havoc  
Yeah and I thought it was called pound.

American farmers have been caught feeding defective Skittles to their cattle. It’s cheaper than corn.

@acres  
What defines as Skittle as “defective”?

@Officer Hotpants  
Probably misshapen, or more likely, alive and feasting on the living. Ya know, defective.

@acres  
I guess they want their cattle to “taste the rainbow.”

@Aryanne  
They’re finally making cowhorses? And people say the fandom doesn’t have any reach anymore.

The longest word you can spell with the periodic table is nonrepresentationalisms

Your nose functions on a cycle. Where one nostril works normally while the other “takes a break”. They switch throughout the day.
 
Why do they do this?  
Who nose

@acres  
Yeah. I’m painfully aware of that one. It drove me crazy as a kid because one would always be horribly stuffed.

@acres  
It’s to keep the mucus membranes from drying out at the same time. They need to be wet in order for smell to work, so if both your nostrils were open at the same time all the time they would dry out and you would never be able to smell again.

It takes about 17500 sit ups to burn one pound of fat.

@acres  
Spartan society was founded on sit ups.

Only about 8-10% of the worlds money is physical cash. The rest only exists on a computer screen.

@acres  
Imagine when your memory card would crap out and you’d lose five years worth of save files. Now imagine that it’s your bank account.

@Officer Hotpants  
This is one reason why I like physical cash.

@Aryanne  
My grandpa never trusted banks. He kept all his money buried in mason jars in his soybean field.

@acres  
Smart man.
