    It has come to my acknowledgement that we all possess some type of knowledge. The type that will only be used once or twice in our lives and of which most will not be interested in. Yeah, that knowledge - whatever that is...

    I had this thought when I looked at another chat with a comment, and I questioned the usage and meaning of owning any trivial knowledge. I mean, it does make you knowledgeable to a certain extent but how much are you even going to use that extent. :hmm:

    The few times you would even consider using this knowledge can be counted. Here’s a few example with thoughts.

    • Game shows/night : I believe most of us have seen at least one game show that is about the knowledge you possess, and if we are all being honest here, all that knowledge isn’t something you’ll randomly spout to someone. So yeah, having this extra knowledge may help you win some cash or game. But honestly, how much to an extent must you possess this knowledge to be able to win??
    • Woe someone : I don’t know about you, but I think having a certain “expertise” in an area is pretty cool. But that is also with limits. I don’t want to be going on a date, and the person be talking about the living history of fetal matter. No matter how knowledgeable you are at something, that doesn’t automatically make it the number one topic to talk on. And honestly, some people aren’t even interested in stuff like this or that. :blobawkward:
    • To keep a conversation : like with the woing. If it doesn’t have a place, it doesn’t have a use. I can understand how a new and abstract topic can make conversing interesting and make a lasting impression, but you got to be careful. A wrong move and it instantly becomes a memory scorched into the brain never to be forgotten:facepalm:. Meaning, you just made an embarrassment of yourself in less than 10 sentences :notlikeblob:

    now, I’m not saying that trivial knowledge isn’t fun or anything. I’m just thinking about the times when you’ll actually have a use for it. I mean, all those examples are looking at the downside of things, but they do have their good sides.:blobwink:

    So please share. Like maybe what’s your trivial knowledge or what did you use it for or something. Anything. I’m curious :blobsnow:

    Baby koalas are raised on their mother's poop. Rabbits also eat their own poop. Hamsters too.

    I thought this was an add on to the fetal matter and then did a quick search and realize it’s actually fecal matter. But that’s some trivial knowledge to show. Interesting poop knowledge..:hmm:

    Earth will eventually be incinerated by the sun in the distant future
    Even the universe will later die and there's nothing we can do about it.
    More important to us: cats can't taste sugar, they will also become sick if you feed them milk.

    That... trivial (and weird) indeed....
    very cool. I only know fish sauce is made from fermented fish
    you know a lot about animals. At least I know what to intrigue people who game with
    well, by then, I’m already in the grave so the future generation will be the ones crying (not to say I won’t try to contribute with my short span of 100 years compared to the millennials ahead ) And now I know what to do if I find a stray cat one day ; don’t give it milk

    Every now and then a dolphin will pin a swimmer to the sea floor and rape them. More often then not, this lead to the raped person drowning.
