Did You Know a Dam Made Our Days Longer?

Here’s a wild fact for your next coffee break: China’s massive Three Gorges Dam is so heavy, it actually made Earth spin a tiny bit slower—our days are now 0.06 microseconds longer! All that water shifted the planet’s weight, kind of like when you move on a spinning office chair. But the dam’s impact isn’t just cosmic; it’s also sparked debates about whether it really helps with flooding or just causes new headaches for locals and the environment. Big moves, big consequences! #FunFact #ThreeGorgesDam #EarthScience #MoneyLifehacks #CoffeeBreak #Business
