Ever wondered why some cheese smells like gym socks?Turns out, cheese and stinky feet have something in common: bacteria!

This bacterium thrives in moist, salty environments and produces sulfur compounds that give off that strong, unmistakable scent. So next time you catch a whiff of foot-like funk from your cheese platter, blame the bacteria—just like you would for your gym shoes!Subscribe to

2024/11/03

Why would doctors ever prescribe… well, poop?Surprisingly, they do! Known as a fecal microbiota transplant, this treatment involves transferring healthy bacteria from one person’s gut to another’s, often through—you guessed it—poop! It’s used to restore balance in patients with gut issues like severe infections, especially when antibiotics haven’t worked. Basically, it’s an all-natural way to repopulate the gut with “good” bacteria.Ready for more unexpected facts? Follow Trivia Tidbits for a daily

Ever thought rats might laugh?Believe it or not, they do! Rats are actually ticklish and laugh when you tickle them, although their laughter is at a frequency too high for human ears to hear. Researchers discovered that when rats are gently tickled, they make ultrasonic chirps—basically tiny, giggly squeaks. It turns out, just like us, they enjoy a good laugh, especially during playtime or social bonding with other rats!For more surprising facts you never thought you'd hear, follow Trivia Tidbits

2024/10/31

Ever wondered why a bee would be called a fish?Turns out, in 2022, a legal case in California declared certain bees as fish! Yes, you heard that right—a fish. Due to a quirky loophole in the California Endangered Species Act, the law included a broad category of "fish" that ended up covering invertebrates, too. Since bees didn’t have their own category, the court allowed them to be classified as fish to give them much-needed protections.Buzzed yet?Make sure you subscribe to Trivia Tidbits for more

Did you know synchronized swimming has roots in ancient Greece?Well… not exactly! Although the ancient Greeks adored their sports, artistic swimming didn’t hit the scene until the 20th century. What they did have, though, were water-based performances that combined athleticism and grace—like divers showing off their skill mid-plunge! Synchronized swimming as we know it emerged from water ballet performances in the early 1900s and was eventually embraced by the Olympics in 1984.Stay afloat with more

Ever wondered how fungi turn ants into zombies?Here's a tale straight out of a horror movie!

Ever wondered if it could actually rain frogs?Well, sometimes it does!
