The Great Wall of China is visible from space.
On average people shallow 8 spiders a year in their sleep.
That humans need to drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day. Complete bullshit with no scientific backing.

Actually the Wall can be seen from low earth orbit with magnification and under perfect conditions.
However, there are five man made things which can be seen from space:

shareDo you think maybe he was doing “that” while he was recording “I Can See Clearly Now”? He just seemed so damn happy! 😎
shareI dunno; a possible follow-up? ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU
share🤭Oh stop it! I can’t take anymore! From now on when I open MC I can’t be drinking anything because this iPad is too damn expensive to spew liquid onto it!
shareYou're probably not going to believe this but guess what I encountered a shopping cart full of in my grocer's marked-down corner today. And it just happened to coincide with your reappearance on GD. Red solo cups! I couldn't help but grin. I'm a firm believer in serendipity. It's happened with several other posters here during the past 5 yrs, ;)
shareDamn! They marked down my favorite! Red Solo Cups? I wish I had been there. I would have bought the whole bunch in the cart. In fact I’m currently drinking from a facsimile. I’m at my friend’s house and she buys the cheapies. I have to double them as they’re so flimsy! I told her I plan on buying some red Solo cups. My drinks just don’t taste the same in these. 🙇🏼♀️
One thing is for sure. These wouldn’t survive with me sliding down an icy hill! 😂
My guide dog just read me your message. He disagrees with your assessment..
share🤭I wouldn’t touch this reply with a 10 foot pole! LOL!
shareA woman is preparing for her date when the door bell rings. She answers the door and no one is there, she looks left and right but doesn't see anyone.
"Pssst, down here" a male voice says.
She looks down to see a man with no arms and no legs on the ground looking up at her.
"Hi, I'm Dave, your date" he says.
The woman is a little confronted at first but gathers herself and responds, "Oh, I'm sorry... if I had of known... umm"
"Yeah, yeah I know.. but look at this way. I was able to reach the doorbell, wasn't I!"
Oh boy! I’ll leave this one alone also. 🙅🏼♀️
sharePeople in the past were less educated than they are now. They actually learned more in school at a younger age and took on jobs that only adults do now.
shareHa. For 6th grade I attended a private NYC school. 1970-1971 school year. One of our teachers told us that Latin had been dropped as a requirement only a couple years prior. That's right. Latin. I remember that we were assigned books such as Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart.' Is that what is being assigned today in the 6th Grade? High School at a minimum, today. If even then.
shareI was thinking even further back, people used to do college level math in grade school. No calculators to do the work and a lot of jobs involved mathematics of some sort.
shareWhen Jungle Habitat in New Jersey closed, they left the animals behind to starve.
FALSE: All the animals were sold off. What they did leave behind was a graveyard where they buried the deceased animals. Wild animals began to dig up the carcasses leaving pieces around.
