Only Blog For the Day #1

+7

Introduction

Welcome to the first ever only blog for a day. I think that everyday on the RUB should have just a little bit of content, if its detailed, sensitive, or any other topic. Although I would love to make these blogs at tip top shape, I sadly cannot as it is too hard for me to finish it by when I go to bed. But anyways, the main Idea is that I find a random word generator, generally a noun generater as it is easier to make this blog with, and generate 5 random words. After I do that, I'll just list a few facts about each of them. Very simple, but hopefully very enjoyable. But, if you think it would be nicer to do something else besides the thing I am doing currently, I would love to hear some feedback to make this a little bit more enjoyable. Now onto the five words!

Word 1: Midnight

Seems a bit sus of the noun generator to pick this word first, as it reminds me of the difficult deadline I have for this blog... Anyways, here are a few facts that I found:

- Solar midnight is the time of night when the sun is closest to the nadir, the exact time in between sunrise and sunset.

- Following the previous question, nadir is the time of night when a sphere, such as a planet or a star is directly below an observer.

- It is actually incorrect to call midnight "12:00AM" or "00:00AM". Since AM means before noon and PM means after noon, what do you use for noon? This also applies to midnight, as it is the direct middle between AM and PM. What do you think?

Word 2: Grandmother

Although the word was grandmother, I couldn't really find any facts specifically about grandmothers, so I am just stating interesting facts about grandparents. Sorry.

- 72% of all grandparents, including grandmothers is the most important part of their lives.

- 43% of all grandparents actually play sports! Who knew that grandparents could be so active?

- This fact is a little bit more surprising that the rest, although the act of grandparents baking cookies for their grandchildren isn't that surprising. Apparently, 86% of all grandparents actually bake cookies for their children and grand-children!

Word 3: Sector

I couldn't really find any good facts about this word, so I am just going to link a Wikipedia article down below and hope you enjoy! (To be honest its not that exciting): Wikipedia Sector

Word 4: Clothes

- This many seem very surprising, but it actually takes over 700 GALLONS worth of water to make a singular cotton shirt. Doesn't seem the most useful with our current world situation like over-population, but I guess its for a good cause?

- Almost all textiles are able to be recycled, around 95% to be exact.

- Surprisingly enough, clothes have actually dropped in prices. Since 1992, clothes prices have dropped dramatically by 8.5%. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it definitely makes a huge difference on a larger scale.

Word 5: Percentage

The percentage sign looks like this:
%
Oh my gosh! Look at it! Its so beautiful I'm about to cry. It looked so satisfying, how the slant perfectly fits through the two o's. Also how it looks so compact! (Sorry, I got a bit lazy. But I'm totally an amazing actor when it comes to percentage symbols... wait... aren't I?)

Conclusion

Before I end, please don't stop posting blogs just because you want to see more of this blog. Even though I enjoy making these blogs every once in a while, they get a bit annoying to do the research, especially in pitch black dark 30 minutes away from midnight while having mild sleep deprivation and lack of concentration in the past week.

Amazing! I never realized how beautiful the Percentage sign is! It is incredible! Also, I just realized the Percentage sign is literally 0 by 0, I'm so used to it I never thought about what it is. And 700 GALLONS FOR ONE SHIRT??? now i feel sad

Also, I think the current convention of 12 PM in the noon and 12 AM at midnight is correct, because if exactly 12:00:00 is midday, then 12:00:01 is After Midday, which means that the majority of the minute of 12:00 is After Midday, so PM, and same with Midnight.

Also, I'm a bit skeptical of the Grandparents baking cookies fact, I DEMAND INFORMATION ON THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE STUDY

Wow, it was really fun to think of all of this, this great food for thought, it'll be fun to see more :)
