I hope you have a good time!

I get downvoted for saying or posting literally anything. This is a fact. I posted a drawing of Green Goblin I did in algebra and got downvoted. I posted a joke and got 5 downvotes. None were offensive in any way. Like damn. Did anyone read my bio!?

In 2015 a woman in Germany called the police to report a stalker. So the police arrived and arrested said stalker and hauled him to the police station. The stalker was a red squirrel. They released the squirrel a few hours later.

Aboriginal Australians lived in paradise before colonisation. It took on average 4hrs/day to acquire all the food and resources you'd need. Imagine if your biggest choice was "do I hunt, fish or go to the yam beds today". After you have a big party with everyone, eat, dance and go to bed.
Furthermore Aboriginal people resisted colonisation every step of the way. It is a lie that we were dying out. It is a lie that we were happy to be subjugated. Today is Australia day, a day that celebrates colonisation. In Australia they celebrate the day my people were murdered rather than better dates such as the day Aboriginal people got the right to vote and we all were included as Australians. The date of our national holiday needs to change

Hmm, I have a lot.
1) if the Milky Way galaxy was the size of the USA, the sun would be the size of a white blood cell.
2) comparing an atom to a coin is like comparing the coin to the moon.
3) in about 4 billion years, the Milky Way and its neighbour (the Andromeda galaxy) will collide and merge forming a new galaxy by the name “Milkdromeda” (not the official name but it’s what people prefer calling it)
4) there is a theorised type of matter known as “anti-matter”. If you touch an anti-matter version of yourself, you both would anhilate each other and give out a huge burst of energy. (The properties of anti-matter and regular matter are the same except that the charges are reversed. Electrons are positive, protons are negative and so on)
5) there is a 1 in 5.2*10^61 chance that if you slam your hand against a table, the atoms in your hand will miss the atoms in the table and go right through it.
6) if you were able to compress the history of planet Earth into a single day, humans would appear 1 second before midnight.
7) it’s impossible to cool down an atom to 0 Kelvin. If you did that then you would know how fast the atom was going ( 0 km/hr) and where it was which isn’t exactly allowed in this universe.
8) the skin on your a**s and the skin on your lips are exactly the same.
I have a lot more facts but I’m afraid I’m running out of space so maybe next time

Some about my homeland!
The longest running TV show IN THE WORLD is aired in Ireland! It Started the year TV's were introduced to Ireland (1961 I think...) and has been running ever since.
The word Boycott, comes from my home county in Ireland. Basically we didn't like the land agent Charles Boycott, so everyone agreed to refuse to serve him in all of the shops or deal with him in business.
Ireland holds the world Records for... Most cookies baked in an hour, Largest tea towel, Most cups of teat in an hour, Highest combined age, and Highest number of redheads per capita.

- The first life form that intentionally reached space were fruit flies, placed by NASA in the tip of a Aggregat 4 (V2) rocket in 1947.
- We always see the same side of the moon, as it's rotation around it's own axis happens with the same speed it takes to fully orbit Earth.
- The James Webb telescope project had 344 "single points of failure", meaning if one thing went wrong the whole thing would have been useless. Luckily none of them happened, since we wouldn't be able to repair it anyways due to it's location
