12 Surprising Research Findings We Just Learned

Every day scientists are writing scientific papers about their scientific findings, and, lucky for us dummies, we get to read them and absorb the knowledge without having to do any of the hard, boring, tedious science stuff. Yet still, people think they can ignore the hard work of scientists to do their own “research”... better known as reading the top search results whose title was clickable and not even looking at peer-reviewed papers that use the scientific method.
Of course, scientific studies aren’t without their downfalls--it’s important to see who funded the study and if the investor has a stake in the outcome. But, even so, the most biased study is probably going to be better than the top Neocities page result.
Here are twelve science findings we found fascinating. Don’t trust us? Proud of you. What a big ol’ scientific mind you have on you! We encourage you to read the original study.
