Trivia is information and data that are considered to be of little value. The word is derived from the Latin word triviae, meaning a place where a road split into two (thus, creating a three-way intersection). It was introduced into English as the adjective trivial in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Modern usage of the term trivia dates back to the 1960s, when college students introduced question-and-answer contests to their universities. A board game, Trivial Pursuit, was released in 1982 in the same vein as these contests. Since the beginning of its modern usage, trivia contests have been established at various academic levels as well as casual venues such as bars and restaurants.

Dennis Franz voiced himself playing Homer Simpson in that episode.

Wolverine is a foot taller in the movies than in the comic books.

The Internet says Peppa Pig is 7’1’’ tall.

Her canon height is 3’9’’.

Pa is called Pa because he’s “Pa-thetic”
Ma is called Ma because she’s always “ridin’ ma ass”

“Runch” is the Chinese word for “Lunch”

If you remove the letters from “wife” from “Twiface” and then reverse the order you get “cat”.

@UrbanMysticDee
If you remove the ‘Ur’ and the ‘ysticD’ and one of the ‘e’s from ‘UrbanMysticDee’, you get ’ban me”

Men who crave power look back over the mistakes of their lives, pile them all together and call it “destiny”.

Steven Spielberg’s movie studio, Amblin Entertainment, is named after his first movie “Amblin’” that was about two people who were lost and wandering around the desert.

In 2015 there was a petition to rename the Australian currency “Dollarydoos” that got 69,000 signatures.

In 2022, Australia imported A$6.9 billion in gold. That same year, it also exported A$23.5 in gold. This leaves a A$16.6 billion trade balance for that commodity.

Why did 🇦🇺 import gold if it also exports gold? I don’t know. We need the site’s resident Australian to come over here to explain that.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi is the only person to have survived two atomic bombs. He lived in Nagasaki and traveled to Hiroshima for a business trip when the first bomb was dropped. He went back home afterward and was in such good shape that he went back to work in Nagasaki on the day the second bomb was dropped. Fearing the world was not ready for the secret to immortality he decided to die on 4 January 2010 at the age of 93, taking the secret with him.

Democrat Cites: Hm? I wonder. Folx, just, pushed the deceased unhoused into a corner!!
Citizen: Mx. Mayor, I don’t think that’ll work.

@UrbanMysticDee
I tried with a basic hollow.

It seemed to work, but at a different angle. More toward the left side on the images.
It was harder to see what is happening, though. With the rats, it is more obvious.

@Fleur de Lis
Does it happen to all dead bodies or just dead rats?

In Dark Souls, when you push dead rats into this corner, they disappear.

Homer Simpson doesn’t say “B’oh!” he says… (checks notes) “D’oh!”

In 1780, Newgate Prison was burned during the Gordon Riots, named after Lord George Gordon, President of the Protestant Association, who instigated them.

Eight years later Gordon was himself sent to Newgate (the prison burned by the riots named after him), where he spent the rest of his life. He was no longer the head of the Protestant Association, as by this time he had converted to Judaism.

New Jersey has been the most “moved-from” state for the past 6 years. Anyone who has the money to escape is getting out.

Cereally, if you’re not super poor and stuck here or super rich and enjoy not being in New York you’re trying to escape.

It is no longer 2023 in Hawaii
