In the 80s & before, they animated every cartoon & cartoon movie one by one. They hand-painted every single backdrop of every single scene and added cells (now they use a different material or digital animation). Each cell was hand painted for every single effect and character, which means animation studios produced, by hand, hundreds of thousands of unique drawings & paintings for every film.

Here is another one. A waterbear is a type of microscopic creature that can live for decades(i have heard longer in some environments). They can go dormant and survive even in the cold of space in a state of suspended animation. Once water is added, they spring back to life. They are, in their dormant state, even capable of surviving more radiation than cockroaches. Tardigrade means "slow-walking" (tardigrada in Latin).

The Practical Herbalist recommends 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne powder mixed with 1 ounce of foot powder.
Only put 1 teaspoon in your socks and distribute the powder by scrunching the sock.
Beyond warming up cold toes, cayenne peppers can also protect your heart.

Rams players put a bizarre food item in their socks to keep warm — does it actually work?
The Rams beat the Chicago Bears 20-17 in overtime on Sunday. Perhaps this hot trick put them over the top?

The Pistol Shrimp:
The collapsing cavitation bubble from a pistol shrimp's claw momentarily reaches temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun (around 4,700°C or 8,500°F), but this extreme heat lasts for only microseconds, creating a flash of light and a powerful shockwave to stun prey. It is not a sustained, widespread heat source. It's a fleeting burst of intense energy from a phenomenon called sonoluminescence, generated by the rapid implosion of the bubble.

Here's one.
"Jumping the shark" is an idiom describing the moment a creative work—usually a TV show—peaks and begins an irreversible decline in quality, often marked by desperate, gimmicky stunts to maintain popularity. The phrase originated from a 1977 Happy Days episode where Fonzie jumped over a shark on water skis.
When I was in Junior High I watched Happy Days on Nick at Night every single night it was on, and evenwatched this particular episode air in the same order as the old show, so I thought it was funny that I always understood the trope being used for TV series who ran out of creative ideas. Hardly anyone I know gets it. I watched that, Flipper, I Dream of Genie, The Munsters, and I Love Lucy.
They hyped up Fonzie getting ready to "jump the shark" on his motorcycle for several episodes. They had you thinking it was going to be terrifying or that he would be jumping his motorcycle over a great white shark or something, but when the time finally came, it was clearly a stunt double with a leather jacket, and he wasn't in that much danger.

In the 1977 episode "Hollywood: Part 3" of the sitcom Happy Days, the character Fonzie (Henry Winkler) jumps over a shark while water skiing in Los Angeles. The stunt was written into the script after the show's writers learned of Winkler's real-life water skiing skills. Winkler performed all the water skiing except the jump itself due to safety concerns.
