This Instagram Account Is Dedicated To Sharing “Not Common Facts”, Here Are 25 Of Them That Might Give You A Fresh Perspective On The World

They say the more you live, the more you learn. And the number of things we do not know about is genuinely fascinating. There’s always something to look forward to, something new to learn for the rest of our days. And that should be enough motivation to keep discovering and expanding one’s horizons. 

Speaking of new things, did you know that our brain can hold as much as a petabyte of information? Now you may wonder, “Wait a damn minute, what even is that thing called a petabyte?” So, like a gigabyte or megabyte (I’m sure you’ve heard of these), a petabyte is a data storage measure. It equals around 1024 terabytes or a million gigabytes. Soo.. that’s A LOT of memory storage. So, returning to the fact, researchers have proved that the human brain can store as much information as the World Wide Web. That’s all the information on the Internet. Fascinating, isn’t it?

Well, if you think you’ve already learned some interesting information today, prepare for a ton more. The ‘Not Common Facts‘ Instagram account is dedicated to sharing relatively little-known facts, as the name inclines. Below, we have compiled some of the most interesting trivia from the page that will spice up any boring conversation. Enjoy!

Times Historians Had No Idea What Something Was And Women Stepped In And Told Them

In class, I learned that when I don’t understand something, someone else probably does. It’s more useful to learn someone’s perspective in a field than to force your perspective and fail miserably.

That’s the moral lesson to be learned in this viral Twitter thread by Gennifer Hutchison. For her, there are things that male historians and anthropologists get wrong because they usually don’t involve women’s perspectives in their research.
