I am familiar with numerous fun facts, therefore, if your submission is a fun fact with which I am familiar, it will be disqualified.
I, beholden to no objective measuring system or input, reserve the sole right to award the bounty to interesting facts.
So-so facts that are still somewhat interesting may receive 1 mana, at any time I may declare a "life-changing" fact and award all remaining bounty funds, you can "up the ante" by risking an amount of your own mana (40% of the remaining bounty) for a chance to win double the remaining bounty in the event that your fact is declared "life-changing" (you will be obligated by the ethical principles of Manifold to pay up if you lose).
To "risk it," state the phrase "I would like to take the double-or-nothing bet, and I am aware of the consequences, both positive and negative, that may be associated with my actions." in your submission.
1,000RuBisCo, the most abundant protein/enzyme on earth, is actually a fairly inefficient catalyst. Its function is CO2 fixation, but it also has a high affinity for O2, which inhibits enzyme activity and must be removed at high energy cost. This protein, which is fundamental to the existence of life, is only doing a mediocre job
Napoleon III despite doing a coup to stay in power as president, and then the Second Empire, was a supporter of universal (male) suffrage. In fact one of the things the coup did was restore universal suffrage, there was pretty substantial voter intimidation in the national plebiscite however
In conclusion: Napoleon III was the true representative of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's General Will. Coming out of the French radical and republican traditions, and combining it with the Catholicism and monarchism to truly become of emperor the French
The universe we inhabit may actually be in the 4th dimension. This can be modeled very easily with a piece of paper.
Your paper is a 2D plane, the people living in the paper can only move in 4 dimension. The people living on the paper believe they live in a 2D plane because of this. However, if you roll the paper up, the paper is now warped in the 3rd dimension, but the people still believe it’s 2D because they can still only move in 4 directions. When they move in their 2nd dimensions, they also move around the warped 3rd dimension. Same thing may apply to our universe, except it’s a 3D plane warped in the 4th dimension.
You can also model a wormhole easily by taking a pencil and poking a hole straight through the rolled paper. Wormholes don’t actually teleport things, they simply move things through another dimension.
The most misspelled word on the Internet is "referer", which your web browser sends as a keyword every time you navigate from one page to another.
The longest-running magical girl anime is Pretty Cure, which has been airing episodes every Sunday morning (with occasional breaks) for the last 21 years. It's a cultural phenomenon in Japan but largely unknown outside of it.
70% of the global production of the element Rhenium (Re 75) is used to make jet engines, where is it a key component of the nickel superalloys which make up the high temperature sections of the engines. Rhenium is also one of the rarest elements on earth, not occurring in natural concentrations and only being produced as a byproduct of other metal refining. It doesn’t get the attention that lithium does, but this rare element is just as essential for modern transportation and has been for decades.
