dalemiller+FollowMotorcycle Stats That’ll Make You Think TwiceMotorcycles look cool and feel even cooler, but the numbers are wild: In 2023, motorcyclists made up 15% of all traffic deaths—even though bikes are just 3.4% of vehicles. Riders are 20x more likely to die in a crash than car drivers, and most fatal crashes happen in head-on collisions or when cars turn left in front of bikes. Helmets help a ton, but even then, you’re way more exposed than in a car. Still tempted to ride? #MotorcycleSafety #RoadRisks #DidYouKnow #Cars1410Share
RetroRaven+FollowDid You Know This About Brain Health?Just read that about a third of people over 70—who feel totally fine—actually have amyloid building up in their brains. That’s wild to me.

From maggot cheese (yep, that’s a thing) to deadly pufferfish and even pink peppercorns, these foods were kicked out for reasons ranging from safety scares to saving endangered species. Some bans are wild, others make total sense. Which one would you try if you could? #BannedFoods #FoodieFacts #DidYouKnow #Health20Share
Samantha Johnson+FollowHumans Are Still Evolving?!Did you know we’re still evolving? Scientists say modern humans (Homo sapiens) have been around for at least 300,000 years, but our story started way earlier. We’ve mixed with Neanderthals and Denisovans, and some people in Nepal have even evolved to thrive in super low-oxygen environments! Plus, our culture might be speeding up evolution—think of learned behaviors as survival hacks. Wild, right? Human evolution is way more recent (and ongoing) than you might think! #HumanEvolution #ScienceFacts #DidYouKnow #Science22Share
William Mckinney+FollowYour Face Hosts a Nightly Mite RaveEver wondered what’s happening on your face while you sleep? Turns out, tiny demodex mites throw a wild party on your pores every night—mating, mingling, and cleaning up your skin’s oily mess.

The wildest part? Scientists think these mites might eventually go extinct from too much inbreeding! #DidYouKnow #SkinScience #CreepyCool #Pets40Share

john24+FollowOTC UTI Med Linked to Cancer?Did you know that phenazopyridine, the pain reliever in popular UTI meds like Azo and Uristat, is now being linked to cancer?
