I mean, practically made this thread for @Ahsoka to enlighten us...

But I picked this up after hearing that there has never been a shutout in a Superbowl, where one team manages to fail to score a single point. I was told this when the Chiefs came close to being the first to fail, but managed to earn a couple of points at the end.

Mine would be something K-pop related. If someone says a word that reminds of K-pop in any way I will blurt out a random fact. But I’ll probably say something like did you know that Chiquita from baemon is only 1 yr older than me and she’s famous

That is fun!! Which makes it the best kind of fun fact.

The hard part is that I have so many facts that I don’t have a go to It depends on whatever context there is. Like my brother is going to St Kitts and Nevis (small island country in the Caribbean), so I informed him that the founding father Alexander Hamilton was born on Nevis out of wedlock, and got so famous for a letter he wrote to his dad due to its eloquence that the people of the island saved up money to send him to the US to study, so that’s how he even ended up in the US just before the revolutionary war. But I wouldn’t have given him that fun fact if he didn’t mention Nevis. That’s usually how my fun facts go.

I have a fun execution fact about the 2nd woman to be executed in Thailand by gunfire. For executions in Thailand, they aimed very directly at the heart, rather than the whole body. She was pronounced dead and sent to the morgue, until they heard her screaming. She had actually survived the initial volley because she had situs inversus, which meant her heart was on the right side of the body, not left like usual. Fun fact?

She still ended up dead, they just turned her around and that ended up working

couldn't they just shoot the other side why would they have to turn her around???? lol

The gun they used was fixed to directly point at the heart (of a person with standard anatomy), and wouldn’t be able to be moved during the execution. Idk for sure if they turned her around so they may not have, but they’d at least have to unbind rearrange the gun if possible, and I’m not sure if that’s something that can be done as easily as turning her around would be.

what??? huh??? sounds like a weird way of executing people
also like I said couldn't they just you know move her a few cms to the left as oppose to turning her around but that's me and I'm not the governor of the thai execution system lol

They had a relatively convoluted system, the person was attached to a cross with a screen between them and the executioner, and there was one gun that was fixed to a certain position that was used. Here’s a picture of how it worked.

Spoiler: Guns and stuff

That doesn't seem thoughtful of these other friends, who are obviously not me.
