None That I Know

What’s a completely useless fact you love sharing?

Nothing comes to the top of my head. I don’t know that many facts, much less facts that I would consider useless.

But then again, what would even be considered a “useless fact”? For example, the world keeps spinning might seem like a completely useless fact in a literal sense. Yet, enter philosophy, and suddenly it carries a profound meaning: the world keeps moving forward, regardless of what happens.

What I consider a useless fact might be useful or meaningful to someone else, and vice versa. So, rather than deciding what qualifies as useless, I think I’ll refrain from offering one at all.
