FREE STEEM Tell me an interesting fact and I'll give you some Steem
FREE STEEM
Hey guys, so for any of you who follow me you probably know I'm giving away all my Steem Dollars this week as part of a project to keep noobs and minnows like myself interested in the platform and to reward them for good content since it's so easy for good content to get lost in the shuffle.
Well believe it or not it's actually quite a lot of work scouting out Steemit and finding people to give free Steem to. I have kind of a busy day and some Steem Dollars so blow through so tell me an interesting or wierd fact and you will receive some Steem.
I have 2.35 to give away and will be giving it away in 0.05 blocks so first come first serve.
Kind of what inspired this post, I had posted something about Steemit and @interceptor kept leaving interesting shark facts, totally unrelated to my post lol, but interesting shark facts in my comments and I kept going back posting my own interesting shark facts, it's kind of a little inside joke. Here's the post if you're interested
Anyhow, share some interesting or wierd facts with us here and you will be rewarded with Steem.
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right= 30 Lives on Contra on The NES (old Nintendo!
@cloudculpepper, unfortunatly I won't be able to give you any Steem as yo neglected to mention "B", "A", "Select", "Start".

I actually posted this on my Steemit account last week at https://steemit.com/cars/@auskiwi/citroen-c5-end-of-an-era
You get 2 little known facts about this car for the price of 1.
The first, mentioned in the post above, is that the innovative hydropneumatic suspension which debuted in the iconic 1955 Citroen DS, was discontinued in 2016 due to the beancounters not liking the cost of the system, and a lack of sales in recent years. End of an era.
The second little-known fact, is that cars with this type of suspension are banned in North America, for some unfathomable reason. There is even a plate under the hood of my Citroen C5 which states this. My theory, although I've never seen it verified anywhere else, is that the self-levelling aspect of the suspension enables hidden loads in the vehicle to be disguised when the vehicle is pulled over by law enforcement. They literally can't tell if you have a few hundred kgs of contraband hidden on the vehicle by looking at the sagging suspension, as with other vehicles. I got this information when I read somewhere that smugglers in Europe were using the old Citroen CX to run illegal bootlegged alcohol across the Pyrenees from Spain to France.
Ironically, that second fact may be the reason for the first fact. Perhaps the fact that Citroens are banned in the US made the vehicles uneconomic to produce in large numbers. After all, every other European car manufacturer from Mercedes to Volkswagen to Range Rover exports large numbers of cars to the US and Canada. It would have been natural for one of Europe's most popular luxury cars to be exported there too, but for that little legal quirk introduced no doubt by the alphabet soup agencies.
I love these kind of posts!
Ok, here's my fact that freaked me out a bit. I read that the Eiffel tower in Paris leans towards one side, away from the sun. The steel that faces the sun gets warmer which makes it expand and pushes the tower to lean away. On a hot day this can be upto 7 inches.
So be careful next time you go up on a summers day! ;)
never knew that. that's interesting and makes this all the more crazy
Wow thats high!
🎶 I was gonna... clean my room.. 🎶 but then I got high!! 🎶 You sir, @rulesforrebels definitely are a badass! Keep On Steemin On!
Oh god!! the fear of height intensifies someone hold me pls.. :/
I lived near that tower for 2 years and never knew that!
Thanks for the pay out! :)
huh, interesting!
Well, I'm a dietitian and my fun fact is that high fiber foods (like whole grain products, fruits and vegetables) are good for your GI tract. However something people don't know is that is sticks to cholesterol in the foods we eat and helps to remove them versus allowing them to recirculate in the blood. Our bodies naturally make cholesterol and do not require much from the diet. Unfortunately sometimes predisposed hereditary issues can also cause elevated cholesterol levels! :)
That is interesting. You've been Steemed ;)
why thank you kind sir!
Have a scary thought for your sleep. For every human on Earth there are 1.6 million ants. And they're hungry.
Wow you are a nice person
Gimme a fact so I can give you some Steem
People of Ireland actually pee on the blarney stone in Ireland, despite it being on private land. #DoNotKissTheBlarneyStone
I sometimes pee in McDonalds drivethroughs on my way home from the bars, peeing on a blarney stone seems more fun. Thanks for the fact, you've been Steemed
Thank you brother! :)
Los Lunas Decalogue Stone found in the deserts of New Mexico. It's written in Paleo-Hebrew and translates (nearly verbatim) to The Ten Commandments.
(things that make you go, Hmmmmm?)
That's interesting. How did it get there?
That's what I'd like to know, too. Pre-Colombian, apparently.
Every piece of silk on corn on the cob feeds one kernel of corn.
so that's why there's so many strings in my corn. Very interesting. You've been steemed
corn silk is also medicinal
Corn silk tea heals the entire urinary system, kidney/bladder area of the body (which also affects the brains) Many older members of society get frequent urinary infections that standard medical medicine make worse by throwing antibiotics at to treat (never heals) so the cycle just goes and goes.
Fact for the day...On 06-Jul-1785, there was a unanimous vote by US congress to adopt decimal coinage and names the currency "Dollar"
That's interesting, I was just reading an article today about getting rid of the penny. Canada did it a few years back
