This is how you live your whole life and believe in stereotypes, but in fact, everything around is deception and provocation.
There is gravity in space.
There is gravity on the ISS, but it is slightly weaker than on the planet's surface. In fact, the cosmonauts, together with their spacecraft, very slowly fall forward at a speed of 7.9 km / s, from which weightlessness appears.
Napoleon was tall.
In France at that time, the average height of people was 162-164 cm, so the emperor was more of a big man than a short man. The emperor did not like tall hats, but preferred small hats, which made him seem shorter than the rest. Due to the psychologist's misconception and the translator's mistake, the term "Napoleon's complex" was born, which, in fact, has nothing to do with Bonaparte.
Coca-Cola in bottles and cans of different flavors.
Each person's taste experience is influenced by a number of factors, including tactile sensations and smells. If you drink a drink from different containers, then the taste will really seem different, although this is one drink. Biochemist Sarah Risch believes that the polymers that coat the inside of an aluminum can can absorb some of the taste and odor. But glass is chemically inert, that is, it has neither taste nor smell, and this is probably why Coca-Cola in glass bottles is considered the most delicious. Which one do you like more?
The earth is not round.
The earth is geoid-shaped, but this information is only for those who are not supporters of the Flat Earth Society.
Diamonds are cheap carbon in abundance.
De Beers is a monopoly on the diamond market - back in 1888 in South Africa, the founders of the corporation bought out the first mines with diamond deposits, and then year after year they bought out places where they found stones that were not as precious as it turns out. The fabulous prices for polished diamonds are driven only by the marketing cunning of the campaign and the tight-fistedness of the owners.
Not all chips are 100% potato.
The secret of even, identical chips is that they are only 40% potato flakes, the remaining 60 are starch, flour and water. When making these chips, all ingredients are mixed and pressed with special machines. The traditional version is thinly sliced potato slices fried in oil, recognizable by their uneven edges and uneven color.
A flying moth does not make holes in clothing.
The adult does not eat clothes, and in fact, only the larvae are to blame for the holes. Moths are born and live only to store them in woolen clothes. Little voracious caterpillars then appear from the larvae, so they spoil things.
Owls have long legs.
Everyone knows that owls can turn their heads 270 °, but the fact that they have such long legs became known recently thanks to someone who thought of raising the bird a little.
Goldfish have more than 3 seconds memory.
A 15-year-old Australian schoolboy dispelled the myth that fish have poor memory and only remember the last 3 seconds. As the study showed, associative memory in fish lasts at least 6 days, in addition, they can solve simple problems (for example, they think that they need to swim to another lighthouse if they were not fed near the first).
Chupa Chups is not an American brand.
The world famous candy on a stick was invented by the Italian Enrique Bernat, and the logo was drawn by Salvador Dali himself. Interestingly, only in Spanish and Russian, the name is read through "y", while in the English-speaking market it sounds like "Chapa Chaps".
You can't stick your thumb in your nose.
And this was a test. In fact, you can, and you just did it.
