RetroVibesOnly+FollowParents and Their Three Sets of Twins, 1920sI came across this glass negative from the 1920s of a couple posing with their three sets of twins. I had to stop and look at it for a minute. I just can't imagine having six children and half of them are twins. They say that if you want to have twins, you need to look at the mother's side of the family. The genes for hyperovulation are passed down to the woman. So, a couple who's had twins could very well have more twins. #Twins #FamilyHistory #Genetics #VintagePhotos #Discussion #FunFacts #RetroVibes 17624Share
Julie Padilla+FollowWhat’s That 'Pig Nose' on Your Backpack?Ever noticed that diamond-shaped patch with two holes on your backpack? Turns out, it’s called a 'lash tab' or 'pig nose'—originally made for mountaineers to tie down ice picks and tools! JanSport kept the design for style, and now it’s everywhere, even if you’re just hauling books. You can still use it to attach stuff with a bit of rope, but make sure it’s sturdy. Who knew your backpack had such a rugged backstory? #News #BackpackHacks #FunFacts10Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowDid You Know the Empire State Was Almost a Zeppelin Dock?Ever looked at the Empire State Building and thought, 'That’d be a wild place to eat lunch'? Turns out, workers did just that—perched on beams over 1,000 feet up! The spire was meant for blimps to dock (spoiler: it didn’t work). Fun fact: when it opened, most offices sat empty. Proof that even icons can have a slow start—so don’t sweat it if your big idea takes time to catch on! #RealEstate #FunFacts #MoneyLifehacks00Share

Tinaaaa💫🧘+FollowWhat on earth is "Core Strength"?Did you know your core includes SIX key muscle groups, not just visible abs? ⭐️Core Muscles 1. Pelvic Floor Muscles: Support the internal organs. 2. Transversus Abdominis: Pulls inward, increasing intra-abdominal pressure and providing stability to the chest and pelvis. 3. Multifidus: Plays a crucial role in stabilizing the spine. 4. Internal and External Obliques: Increase intra-abdominal pressure and stabilize the vertebrae. 5. Rectus Abdominis: The traditional “six-pack” muscle, responsible for flexion and stabilizing the lumbar spine. 6. Erector Spinae: Muscles that extend from the lumbar spine to the cervical spine, providing spinal stability. ⭐️Core Stability The concept of “core stability” was first introduced by Japanese anatomist Panjabi. He believed that the key to core stability is to maintain the neutral stability of the spine while protecting the movement of other joints in the body. Core stability isn’t just about the structural stability of the pelvis and lumbar spine; it also involves the interaction between muscles and joints. It’s a dynamic process influenced by muscle control, muscle fiber activation, and joint stabilization. #Pilates #FunFacts #WorkoutTips 90Share

Wild fact: 2025 only has ONE Friday the 13th, so maybe we’re safe for now.

If you’re superstitious, maybe keep an eye out for black cats or ladders today. But hey, you’ve got a whole year before the next one! #FridayThe13th #Superstition #FunFacts #Religion20Share
