“What’s a ‘holy sh*t’ fact that sounds fake but is actually true?

r/

I love hearing mind-blowing facts that seem completely made up but turn out to be 100% real. What’s one that always surprises people when you tell them?

    Sharks have been around longer than trees or the rings of Saturn.

    If you were to scale a proton down to a planck, the universe would be the size of a proton. Mindblowing further, it is entirely a coincidence that this proportional scale is true right now; only true recently, and won’t be true in the near future (relative to the age of the universe)
