Humans have evolved narrow pelvises due to our bipedalism, which makes childbirth especially taxing and painful for us. During childbirth, the pelvic bone can and has to dilate several inches to make room for the baby to pass through.

Electric guitars originate from 1930s California, and are often considered one of the instruments that kick-started the development of rock and roll.

The rocky planets, or inner and terrestrial planets, meaning the planets in our Solar System between the Sun and Asteroid Belt, only have three moons in total. Those are Mars' two moons, Phobos and Deimos, and the Earth's moon. Mercury and Venus have no moons.

The United States and China together account for around 40% of the GDP of the entire world.

The largest of the four rocky planets in our Solar System is Earth, but Neptune, the smallest of the gas giants, could fit 57 Earths inside of it, and has over 17 times Earth's mass.

Germany has the third largest GDP in the world behind the US & China, putting it above countries like the UK, France, India, and Japan. Its workforce is mostly in the service sector, but its top exports are vehicles and other machinery.

During WW2, estimates for total military and civilian death are 60-85 million-ish. Of these, the USSR and China are thought to have made up ~44 million, give or take a few mill, meaning these two countries made up over half the total deaths, so maybe not a fun fact.

The human population was 1 billion in 1800, meaning we got there with 5,000+ years of civilization and 300,000 of our species. Since 2000, we got from ~6.1 billion people to over 8 billion. This can be explained with the DTM, but I don't have the characters for that.

Most people are lactose intolerant to some extent. Our body produces an enzyme called lactase that breaks down lactose when we're young to digest milk, but as we grow, our body stops. However, many (like Europeans ) have lactase persistence, and continue to make lactase.

Humans, and the rest of our fellow animals, are more closely related to mushrooms and other fungi than plants. We share more of our active genes in DNA with mushrooms than plants, and we diverged from them several hundreds of millions of years after we diverged from plants.
