30 of People’s Favorite ‘Don’t Ask How I Know’ Random Facts
Having unique facts at your disposal is a gift and a curse. While people will marvel at the trivial knowledge or random abilities you possess, they might want to know how you know the way to discreetly bury a body, or when you honed the ability to “identify the smell of cat blood.”
For instance, one Redditor shared that you cannot taxidermize a human. That means when grandpa is no longer with us, your options are a casket or an urn — he can’t be memorialized in his favorite armchair for the rest of your time on this earth. The Redditor’s explanation is that human skin darkens and turns leathery over time, which isn’t a viable canvas for the horrifying art of taxidermy. He didn’t disclose how he knows this, but the explanation does inspire follow-up questions for the morbidly curious.
Other Redditors have shared the random facts they know in the same vein. If, for some reason, you wanted to know how to properly carry a severed head or how many beers it would take to get a hamster drunk, they’ve got you covered — just don’t ask how they came into such forbidden knowledge.
