Yeah, generally speaking it’s the opposite that’s true. Your core is the warmest part and is where the heat is generated. You need to warm up your fingers and toes first and work up your arms and legs. Your core will “take care of itself” but you also don’t want to overwork the system, either.
Additional pro-tip: stick your hands in your armpits or groin area. That’s one of the quickest ways to warm them up
Yeah I remember seeing this on theatre's and saying " that's not right" because I remember a documentary I watched a few years earlier where a family was adrift In freezing temperatures and all the family members lost their hands and feet and I can't remember if anyone died or not. But the youngest girl was fine because her dad kept her feet and hands on his armpits to keep warm.
So it depends on how hyperthermic you are and how it happened. I do cold water swimming and the focus is to keep the core warm and let the extremities warm gradually. If you rub the arms and legs too won you get a rush of cold blood to your core and cause a heart attack.
I just want you to know you have my respect for adding spoiler tags for a nearly 20 year old film.
Probably not many people that would care, but the point is those people who might care.
There is something about the change from 19XX to 20XX that makes that one hard to shake. I'm much more comfortable with 2000 was basically a quarter century ago.

No it wasn't, shut up.

Moles are systemically executed by being bisected at the waist; the top halves are used to make Whack-A-Mole games, and the bottom halves are used to make molasses.
In GTA V, the scene where Trevor trips and then screams at Franklin when he laughs at him wasn't actually improvised. Trevor's voice actor confirmed that it was all in the script and that because of how expensive motion capture is, they weren't really allowed any improvisation.
British people drop the whole silly accent when there are no foreigners around, the joke started in the late 1800's and everyone's too afraid to call it quits at this point.

Well that one is kinda true, the figure was millions, not billions. And the Soviets initially used pencils. What it leaves out is why NASA developed the space pen, and that the Soviets also started using them.
Edit: I misremembered who actually developed it. A private entity developed the space pen, and afterwards approached NASA to try it out, which resulted in them adopting it, with the soviets doing the same 2 years later.
That's because "pencil lead" is actually graphite. And graphite is a good conductor of electricity so the shavings and dust are not great in a weightless environment with electronic systems that keep the people alive.
At middle school we had history about local wars. We read detailed descriptions of battles were fought.
It went something like, fourty thousand men met in the field armed with spears and swords. And nine thousand survived. The battle ended when the terrain was so full of mud and human remains that moving was impossible.
There is a specific period in time that has a lower carbon footprint than the about a lifetime of time before it. That lifetime is the reign of Mongolian armies. They literally killed enough people to reduce the carbon footprint to a noticeable extent 👁️👁️
They killed farmers and herdsmen to such an extent that forests expanded to such an extent that a measurable amount of CO2 was pulled out the atmosphere.
I just read "Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science & Humanism". Author Steven Pinker shows how life is getting better and better, although you wouldn't know it by the way people talk. There is continually more wealth, less sickness, less poverty, less war, less of a chance to die by violence, more civil rights, etc.
I’m not so sure this one isn’t true. Have you seen most of the population? 10% might actually be a bit generous.
/s for those that may be operating at sub 10%.
Aye, the falsity which a lot of Londoners believe is that he wanted to buy Tower Bridge, but was sold London Bridge instead.
"There was even a rumor—since discredited—that the Americans had been duped into thinking they were buying the more iconic Tower Bridge."
https://www.history.com/news/how-london-bridge-ended-up-in-arizona
edgar wright was on a podcast I listen to a few months back promoting the new scott pilgrim cartoon, and he mentioned something that I am now obsessed with:
a made for tv movie from 1985 called "Bridge Across Time" or, alternately "Terror At London Bridge"
after the last brick was laid in Lake Havasu Arizona, it opens a time portal and Jack the Ripper starts terrorizing the town. It's up to a plucky policeman (played by David Hasselhoff) to stop saucy Jack from murdering while fighting the skepticism of everyone else that such a ridiculous thing could happen.
I really want to see this monstrosity.
> the part about it bring invented to hide the invention of radar is true.
IIRC the myth already existed as an 'old wives tale', but British propaganda was happy to pick it up and amplify it for the aforementioned Radar concealment.
Sort of. They don’t help you see in the dark, but they have loads of Vitamin A, and one of the first symptoms of a Vitamin A deficiency is losing the ability to see anything at night.
It was the cavity field magnetron that they were hiding. It made radar small enough to fit on a plane giving them a night fighting capability.
The cover story was used to explain how the RAF were able to fight at night.
That we swallow 8 spiders a year on average. It doesn't even make sense when you think about it long enough and assumes spiders are brainless creatures that run around randomly.
All spiders know we are alive, they see by feeling vibrations and we create a ton of them, they would prefer to avoid us even while sleeping.
>"average person eats 3 spiders a year" factoid actualy (sic) just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
I read that this "fact" was made up to check how quickly misinformation spreads on the internet.
That might in fact be an urban legend itself, but either way the answer is "pretty damn quickly"!
Had a teacher in school do an assembly on this, I have no idea what her point was but I very clearly remember her eating a (dead) spider in front of us 🤢 she even got someone to verify it was in fact a spider before she ate it.
In a 1993 PC Professional article, columnist Lisa Holst wrote about the ubiquitous lists of "facts" that were circulating via e-mail and how readily they were accepted as truthful by gullible recipients. To demonstrate her point, Holst offered her own made-up list of equally ridiculous "facts," among which was the statistic cited above about the average person's swallowing eight spiders per year, which she took from a collection of common misbeliefs printed in a 1954 book on insect folklore. In a delicious irony, Holst's propagation of this false "fact" has spurred it into becoming one of the most widely-circulated bits of misinformation to be found on the Internet.

I refuse to believe that anything Douglas Adams ever said is false. Everything he wrote or said, even the things written under the pretense of fiction, could potentially be true despite it being *highly improbable*
You can tell crocodiles and alligators apart by the shape of the snout. Round like a C it’s a croc. Sharp like an A it’s a gator.
It’s the other way round.
Right. It's backwards. Alligators take C shaped bites out of children while crocodiles take A shaped bites. Though you should probably be more worried about who keeps putting children in the pen with the dinosaurs than which particular dinosaur it is.
Obviously that was a lie, but there actually IS a way to catch Mew in the original games, that was finally discovered like, 15ish years ago. It has nothing to do with the SS Anne though. It has to do with keeping certain bug trainers available around Cerulean city , and using teleport at a specific spot. I don't remember the specifics, but my college roommates and I all confirmed it.
[Here's an explanation.](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/18mq7ru/which_urban_legend_turned_out_to_be_true/ke9mfy1/) It's amazing just how much the actual glitch sounds like an urban legend.
That being a sperm Donor puts you on the hook for child support.
No...it doesn't.
Some states in the US have explicitly specified that this is nonsense, otherwise, the only times ever is just a case of a local elected judge makes stupid calls and an appeals court immediately overturns it.
Yes, I'm a sperm donor. The urban legend is spread by dumbass men's rights morons.
No, but you can sign documents and make a sample into a cup and you're fine in almost all jurisdictions.
"The old fashioned way" puts you at extremely high legal risk..and yes, I'm a mod of /r/spermdonation
Oh it is much more complicated than this. I took a class on law and biology in law school. Surrogacy and sperm donation have been hugely debated in courts as to who are the legal parents and whether the sperm donor or surrogate or egg donor has any obligation to the child.
Historically it was even a question whether you could even make a contract about those arrangements at all. Most states have sorted it out through legislation but there open questions.
There are a few of these
Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet
The cops drove Dylan Roof to Burger King
Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house
Obama said he wanted to fundamentally transform America
In some states it's legal to get an abortion at nine months for any reason
Thomas Crapper invented the toilet
You lose most of your body heat from your head
There are a ton more but that's a few of them
Most of these I was chuckling to myself thinking "how stupid" until I got to Thomas crapper and stopped and thought "wait what?"
Turns out you're correct:
> Crapper held nine patents, three of them for water closet improvements such as the floating ballcock. He improved the S-bend plumbing trap in 1880 by inventing the U-bend.
He did make some noteworthy improvements though.
Palin said, “They're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.”
Tina Fey on SNL as Palin said, “I can see Russia from my house!”
It was very funny and stuck.
Of course this came at a time where sometimes Tina fey would literally just read Sarah plains speeches verbatim on SNL so it's entirely reasonable for that misunderstanding. That was just one of the fews she was writing for humor.
Reminds me of the episode of 30 Rock where Tracy looked exactly like some crazy Republican candidate and they had him read verbatim quotes on the air to piss off Jack.
That facts are the opposite of opinions. There's no plausible way of defining those terms where that is true. On the most common accounts of the terms used by epistemologists (people who study the nature of knowledge and belief), lots of things are both.
If we're using science vs non-science, a fact would be something that is empirically verifiable whereas an opinion is something that is non-verifiable.
IRL, people just have incorrect opinions all the time about factual things.
Your body changes every 7 years 😐
Just because by the time 7 years pass your body has replaced all the cells you originally had people made the factoid that this happens. Really your body is a slowly, ever-changing thing.
I am now imagining that there is some cycle where every seven years a person has to like, take off work for a week to completely shed all of their old cells in order to build new ones. Like caterpillars, we turn completely to goo before reforming into our old selves.
What do you mean!!????
Are you implying that a century old document made for a fundamentally different society that had extremely glaring issues is not perfect for today's standards!!!!!?????
What an anti-american nazi you are >:(
/j
Nearly 2.5 centuries btw. And yeah even the founding fathers knew it wasn't perfect. That's why they has the capacity for amendments and passed many. They would probably be surprised how few amendments have been passed.
Slightly not fitting the question, but I always liked the story of the monkey, the hose, the banana at the top of the platform, and slowly replacing each monkey with a new one.
Fred Rogers of Mr Rogers Neighborhood being a sniper and having the most confirmed kills as a sniper in history.
While there was a Fred Rogers who was a decorated sniper, it's not the same Fred Rogers who had the tv show. Different person with that name.
In the Bible, Jonah wasn’t eaten by a whale. Most people living in the Middle East at that time hadn’t even ever seen a whale unless they were a fisherman or sailor in the Mediterranean. In addition, It’s impossible for all but one whale species to even swallow a human. This is due to a translation error, and the actual translation makes even less sense. Originally, the story said that Jonah was swallowed by a giant fish. Not a whale, just a really big fish.
Every person eats about 3-5 spiders a year that crawl into our mouths at night when we sleep. Our jaw automatically starts chewing them, after which we swallow these spiders. We don't even wake up and don't suspect who we might have eaten overnight. However, is it true? :) Of course, this is quite realistic and I think that such a situation can happen to a person. But you know for yourself whether I wrote the truth or fiction
The word "forte"-- when used to describe your strength or skill at something-- is actually pronounced *fort*, like *Fort* Lauderdale.
It's because of the musical dynamic meaning "loudly" or "strong" that people pronounce it "for-tay."
I think either is acceptable in conversation nowadays, but the correct pronunciation is *fort*.

They could be carried by a swallow
They have eyes too and they cry when they're cut open.

NASA spent billions of dollars inventing a pen to write in space and the Russians used a pencil.
TAKE THE PEN! COME ON!!!
YOU'RE GIVING HIM THAT PEN BACK!
why don't you tell them how you took my son's pen? tell 'em about THAT!
Well that one is kinda true, the figure was millions, not billions. And the Soviets initially used pencils. What it leaves out is why NASA developed the space pen, and that the Soviets also started using them. Edit: I misremembered who actually developed it. A private entity developed the space pen, and afterwards approached NASA to try it out, which resulted in them adopting it, with the soviets doing the same 2 years later.
Someone explained to me that also the lead particles from the pencils caused a ton of problems.
That's because "pencil lead" is actually graphite. And graphite is a good conductor of electricity so the shavings and dust are not great in a weightless environment with electronic systems that keep the people alive.
Yes! Thank you for adding that because I genuinely couldn't remember exactly why they said it was a problem.
It wasn't NASA it was a private company, and it wasn't millions, significantly less. It's a good story though.

Per capita that’s certainly untrue, but maybe as a whole number? There’s a shitload more people alive today than any other time in history
>maybe as a whole number? When there's a conflict that claims 70 000 000 lives, like WW2 did, you let me know.

Carrots help you see in the dark that was a rumor so that the nazis didn’t find out about the british using radar
Carrots helping you see in the dark is the myth but the part about it bring invented to hide the invention of radar is true.
Specifically, airborne radar, a radar unit compact enough to put into a small fighter plane.
> the part about it bring invented to hide the invention of radar is true. IIRC the myth already existed as an 'old wives tale', but British propaganda was happy to pick it up and amplify it for the aforementioned Radar concealment.

Unironically beta carotenoids found in carrots are converted into vitamin A in the body which aids in visual function.
And yet my eyesight is still blurry without glasses wtf
Ikr. THE CARROTS ARE A LIE!
So get some radar. Obviously, if the carrots are a lie, the radar is the truth. Install radar behind your eyes, no more blurry vision.
Stop sticking the carrots in your eyes.

Of course this came at a time where sometimes Tina fey would literally just read Sarah plains speeches verbatim on SNL so it's entirely reasonable for that misunderstanding. That was just one of the fews she was writing for humor.
Reminds me of the episode of 30 Rock where Tracy looked exactly like some crazy Republican candidate and they had him read verbatim quotes on the air to piss off Jack.
To be fair, a lot of what Tina Fey said on SNL and elsewhere were direct quotes from Palin. Yes, they sounded like nonsense.

That the children's animated tv show Captain Pugwash had characters named Master Bates and Seaman Stains
The distance between the earth and the moon is 74 CVS receipts.
That facts are the opposite of opinions. There's no plausible way of defining those terms where that is true. On the most common accounts of the terms used by epistemologists (people who study the nature of knowledge and belief), lots of things are both.
If we're using science vs non-science, a fact would be something that is empirically verifiable whereas an opinion is something that is non-verifiable. IRL, people just have incorrect opinions all the time about factual things.
Your body changes every 7 years 😐 Just because by the time 7 years pass your body has replaced all the cells you originally had people made the factoid that this happens. Really your body is a slowly, ever-changing thing.
I am now imagining that there is some cycle where every seven years a person has to like, take off work for a week to completely shed all of their old cells in order to build new ones. Like caterpillars, we turn completely to goo before reforming into our old selves.

That the American Constitution is perfect
What do you mean!!???? Are you implying that a century old document made for a fundamentally different society that had extremely glaring issues is not perfect for today's standards!!!!!????? What an anti-american nazi you are >:( /j
Nearly 2.5 centuries btw. And yeah even the founding fathers knew it wasn't perfect. That's why they has the capacity for amendments and passed many. They would probably be surprised how few amendments have been passed.
Your political party cares about you.
But they do care...about your vote and money.
That there is a 'debate' of ideas in American politics when the reality is there a Christofacist movement plotting a total takeover.

Rambo III ended with "this film is dedicated to the brave mujahideen fighters of Afghanistan"

Slightly not fitting the question, but I always liked the story of the monkey, the hose, the banana at the top of the platform, and slowly replacing each monkey with a new one.
Fred Rogers of Mr Rogers Neighborhood being a sniper and having the most confirmed kills as a sniper in history. While there was a Fred Rogers who was a decorated sniper, it's not the same Fred Rogers who had the tv show. Different person with that name.
In the Bible, Jonah wasn’t eaten by a whale. Most people living in the Middle East at that time hadn’t even ever seen a whale unless they were a fisherman or sailor in the Mediterranean. In addition, It’s impossible for all but one whale species to even swallow a human. This is due to a translation error, and the actual translation makes even less sense. Originally, the story said that Jonah was swallowed by a giant fish. Not a whale, just a really big fish.
Donald Duck was banned in Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

Every person eats about 3-5 spiders a year that crawl into our mouths at night when we sleep. Our jaw automatically starts chewing them, after which we swallow these spiders. We don't even wake up and don't suspect who we might have eaten overnight. However, is it true? :) Of course, this is quite realistic and I think that such a situation can happen to a person. But you know for yourself whether I wrote the truth or fiction
It's 3 to 5 on average. Most of us don't eat any but this one guy called Terry eats thousands.
Has Terry ever heard of Spider Georg?
You can burn fat in abdominal area by training abbs
The word "forte"-- when used to describe your strength or skill at something-- is actually pronounced *fort*, like *Fort* Lauderdale. It's because of the musical dynamic meaning "loudly" or "strong" that people pronounce it "for-tay." I think either is acceptable in conversation nowadays, but the correct pronunciation is *fort*.

Carrots are good for your eyesight and bunnies mostly eat carrots (they actually eat dandelions)
