If I understand this graph correctly and there's no funky stats stuff going on..: The Northern lights seem to have been far less visible/regular for almost the entirety of most of our lives.

If I understand correctly solar radiation has been down quite a bit for the last 20 years. I hardly understand this stuff though.

Another fun fact if I've read the stats correctly:

The USA imports 2.8 billion pounds of rice
The USA produces 15-20 billion pounds of rice

We mostly import aromatic rice.

I love fun facts like what you just mentioned. Here, I'll add my own!

Fun Fact: The American government has kept over a billion pounds of government cheese (haha) underground in Missouri since President Carter's administration. There was a dairy crCIA in the late 70s, with a 30% inflation that hammered the dairy industry. President Farter intervened and gave subsidies of over 2 billion dollars to the benefit of dairy farmers, causing an overproduction in cheese. That cheese had to go somewhere, so President Sharter decided put them under Missouri. I like that.

People like to depict all the popular dinosaurs walking the earth at the same time, but in reality things like T-Rex and Spinosaurus didnt live at the same time and never encountered each other. In fact, the time difference between T-Rex and humanity is smaller than the time difference between T-Rex and Stegosaurus
