So it's gonna just slowly crawl around and kill everyone at...a sloth's pace? And nobody will think to just leave?

I’m sorry. But you can’t have a useless and unbelievable fact thread without stating the grandson of the 10th? Yes 10th! President of the United States died in 2020.
President John Tyler’s grandson, Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr., dies 175 years after his grandfather left the White House | CNN
For many Americans, going two generations back takes them to World War II. For Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr., who died September 26, two generations stretched to a century earlier, when steam locomotives ruled the land and his grandfather was 10th president of the United States.amp.cnn.com

Still has one grandson left alive.
This thread is right up my alley:
1. Personal interest, but I was born in 1984...thus 39 now. My birth year was 39 years after WWII ended. Crazy to think about.
2. As the crow flies, the closest distance between Nebraska and Florida is about 750 miles.
3. The star Betelgeuse (in the Orion constellation) is so large if its center was where our current Sun is positioned, its surface would lie beyond the asteroid belt and it would engulf the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
4. Lake Superior has enough volume of water it could cover North America with 1' of water.
5. The world's longest walking distance is 14,000 miles. You can go from Magadan in Russia to Cape Town in South Africa.

John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States, death was the only presidential death not recognized formally by the United States, as he was a native Virginian, Confederate sympathizer, and recently elected to the confederate house of representatives. His death was recognized by CSA president Jefferson Davis, who planned a lavish funeral, complete with casket draped in confederate flag, making him the only former president not draped with United States flag at their funeral.
Just 12% of Americans are eating half of all the beef consumed in the US.

If you "threw" electricity around the world standing at the equator, it would hit the back of your hand before you had time to turn it around and catch it.
If the earth was the size of a pool table ball and say all the water drained, you wouldn't be able to feel any of the mountains. It would feel smooth/round all around.
That one blew my mindI’m sorry. But you can’t have a useless and unbelievable fact thread without stating the grandson of the 10th? Yes 10th! President of the United States died in 2020.

Is there some sort of John Tyler podcast I'm not aware of?
I believe the accepted answer is that Earth is as round as a billiard ball, but not as smooth as one. The dips and peaks would be noticeable to the touch, but it would still be very round.
If Picard can pilot the enterprise, he can dive into that big canyon.
Is this thread based on "Interesting Fact" from Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles? Probably not, but I'm a huge nerd/fan of that (incomplete) series and couldn't help but assume it's a reference.
