Learn a Lot on the Pot

di Sam Callister (Autore)

Gabriele Di Dio, 2025

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A perfect gift to surprise and delight anyone! Did you know that in some tribal communities, temple monkeys steal tourists’ glasses and valuables, then return them only if “bribed” with food? Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wear a Victorian-era hat with a built-in water tank designed to mist your face on the hottest days? Can you imagine bridges made from living roots that grow stronger over time instead of weaker, as if nature itself were an ingenious engineer? Did you know that the platypus—part mammal, part duck-billed oddity with a venomous spur—actually lays eggs, defying everything we thought we knew about evolution? Have you heard of the “immortal” jellyfish that can regenerate its cells, challenging everything we thought we knew about aging? If these questions made you smile, tickled your brain, or raised an eyebrow, then you’ve come to the right place. In this book, you’ll discover the answers to questions like: -Why should you really think twice before grabbing your own bathroom door handle? -Which absurd Victorian-era inventions would leave us wide-eyed (and maybe in stitches) today? -How can tiny creatures survive in the vacuum of outer space, unbothered by radiation or zero gravity? -Why do some flowers choose to smell like rotting flesh to lure in “visitors,” and how does this bizarre strategy help them thrive? -Can your brain be fooled so easily that changing a food’s color could make it taste completely different? -Can a single living organism, invisible to the naked eye, survive underground for millennia and become one of the planet’s largest life forms? …and many more secrets and curiosities guaranteed to make you see the world through fresh eyes! Settle in, relax, and get ready to be amazed: reality is more imaginative than you ever thought possible.
