The pizzas are called "McPizzas". You can find these McDonalds at Pomeroy, Ohio and Spencer, West Virginia. It is mainly unpopular among the franchise because of the cook time for pizza. These are made in 11 minutes, which conflicts with conflicts with the idea of fast food.

Even if we included the people throughout history, 102 billion people, it would still not come close. Link to Vsauce explaining this: www.youtube.com/watch?t=17&v=C6eOcd06kdk

Students from Sydney University were traveling to study plate tectonics, when they decided to stop at the island, they were shocked to find that it didn't exist. Where there should have been sand and trees, only water was there. Google Earth even had it listed, yet had no pictures of it.

A physiologist turned a semiconductor factory into one of the worlds largest indoor farms. They cultivate lettuce with LED lights. This project was started by Shigeharu Shimamura who wanted to keep up with the world's increasing food demand, but bypass drought issues.

The united states holds approximately 310 million guns. The US population is around 325 million.

Hedy Lamarr acted in around 30 movies. She also improved traffic lights. Besides these achievements, she aided the war against Germany in WWII. Her father died before the war, and she used her status to help her mother get away from it. She used her fame to sell war bonds, which was very successful. Even this was not enough, so she was driven to stop Hitler by inventing a device to aid against the fight against German Submarines

Very science

From a pedophile's point of view. My biggest complaint is never fitting in.

Thanks for checking out my content. I really appreciate it.

And by "see what happens" they meant for advertisement purposes, the ad is on youtube.

B-but that means there are 15 million Americans out there- WITH NO GUNS!

#82 to #32 - veyintear (05/27/2015) [-]

Actually way more than 15 million, because of people that own more than one gun.

#142 to #82 - hydraetis (05/27/2015) [-]

Yea, probably actually around 100 million or more that have none.

Gotta say I like how you actually provide detail for the WTF facts. Actually makes them seem more realistic and not just another repost.

#34 to #10 - anon (05/27/2015) [-]

its still shameless reposted, all of these are taken off reddit.com/r/todayilearned

I cannot tell if you are trolling because I already listed sauce. I didn't even use reddit to validate the facts

#29 to #10 - nicktrue [OP]ONLINE (05/27/2015) [-]

Thanks, I only put in an hour to make sure that everything was correct. It just seems lazy and cheap if I were to just copy and paste content from their site to my upload. A little extra work is worth it if it makes you guys happy.

310mil/325mil is over 95%. Is something wrong? Or am I missing something?

#41 to #7 - flupper (05/27/2015) [-]

Well I live in the south east and I don't know any gun owner who just has one. Most people who own guns have at least 4.

#42 to #41 - xplosevdiarrhea (05/27/2015) [-]

True, but that shouldn't affect this statistic, since in only considers total guns per total people. But that does point out how this is a bit misinformative. If you were to pick out 100 people randomly, you would find less than 88 to be armed. I wouldn't be surprised if that number would be less than 50, especially if you consider the number of guns that aren't owned by any one person. Like in the military or in a gun shop.

#43 to #42 - flupper (05/27/2015) [-]

Exactly. They would have to go by how many people out of 100 are registered gun owners versus just saying we have x amount of guns and people.

#44 to #43 - xplosevdiarrhea (05/27/2015) [-]

To an extent, but remember that this is comparing the US to other countries. So it's less important how you measure the difference as long as it is used consistently when comparing two nations. And since many countries probably don't keep track of gun owners, pure sales are a more reliable metric. It's also probably extremely accurate since countries that manufacture guns are very well developed and business like these have usually very good record keeping.

So it makes sense to chose this form of measurement. And while some people may misinterpret it, it is still interesting that there is (somewhat) nearly 1 gun/person in the US.

#69 to #7 - echotheambient (05/27/2015) [-]

Guns used for millitary/police purposes maybe?

#11 to #7 - wargod (05/27/2015) [-]

not exactly, the us census for 2014 yield 310 million people, while estimated for the amount of firearms in the us are between 270 and 310, and 270/310 is .87. But if the fact is recent, it could be accounting for an estimate of how many people are currently in the us

#84 to #7 - misterbluecoat (05/27/2015) [-]

Anyone gonna mention the dude with a ******* Grenade Launcher?

#8 to #7 - nicktrue [OP]ONLINE (05/27/2015) [-]

The census and gun ownership stats are from two separate sources, so there is bound to be conflicting information due to the fact that in the end, the numbers are estimates. Nobody goes around door to door counting guns. Have my favorite gif in response to bad info

Well if ithe island was charted for over a century, maybe it existed a century ago but was since wiped out by rising sea levels.

#83 to #48 - joberja ONLINE (05/27/2015) [-]

Interesting fact, there was actually an island that was wiped out not too long ago by an oil spill. I think it took a few years, but there are pictures of before and after.

If also uses far less land since its growing in stacks of ten.
But most amazingly even though its grown under electric light, it uses less ENERGY than growing it in fields. Because its lighted with LEDs which don't use my energy, and it doesn't need land cultivation which means no tractors, so it doesn't burn any fossile fuel.
You can also grow tomatoes, cucumbers, bellpepper and strawberries in the same way. Other vegetables too.
And since you are doing it in the city, transport costs are smaller and use less energy.
Great way to provide fresh vegetables to the cities, and free up land to grow more grain.

#75 to #53 - viscerys ONLINE (05/27/2015) [-]

So why the **** aren't these all over the world? There has to be some teleporting bread style drawbacks, or else we as a species are stupider than I thought.

#104 to #75 - angelusprimus (05/27/2015) [-]

Several reasons
1: Big start up costs. You build them in the cities, which means you need to get a property in the city or near it that is large enough and has utilities good enough. Usually in industrial areas. And second all the equipment costs money.
2: Company that made it invented quite a bit of technology to run it. So you'd also have to get the rights.

Good news is, they are getting built, more and more. This type and similar types. Its all just pretty new and it will take a while to really show itself.
But since they are making a killing, I doubt it will be very long.

#79 to #75 - vgmddg (05/27/2015) [-]

Costs to build/maintain maybe? Angry farmers? Just not well known enough? I dunno. Humans are also often very stuck in tradition too.

The island was probably mapped decades (or hundreds of years) ago and got washed away by a tsunami/hurricane or swallowed up after some plate shifting. It sounds like it was incredibly small.

Also, the pedophile joke made me laugh but then feel bad about it.

Oh yeah, I remember reading that. I was going to include it in the summary, but it was getting long and I figured that the info was based on McDonalds in the US. How long were they there, and how popular were they?

#150 to #31 - joachimstraad (05/29/2015) [-]

At least 8 years but probably more. Can't account for nation wide popularity but in my area they were very popular. The focus was more on the personal sized ones though. Most kids would get those instead of the classic happy meal.
