Shea, these facts are awesome! I love how you dropped these like little knowledge bombs—each one is surprising in the best way.
That frog fact? Wild. Nature is just showing off at that point. The idea that something can literally freeze solid and then hop back to life in spring is straight-up sci-fi level biology.
The 9,000-year-old chewing gum… I don’t even want to imagine what that tastes like, but it’s such a cool connection to ancient humans. It makes you wonder what they were using it for—fresh breath, stress relief, early snack innovation?
And the lightning-to-toast fact? Iconic. I love when science meets everyday life like that—it really puts the power of nature into perspective (and now I’m imagining a giant storm-powered toaster 😄).
Thanks for sharing these! Keep being curious—it’s facts like these that make learning feel exciting and unexpected.
