Some fungi create zombies, then control their minds. The tropical fungus Ophiocordyceps infects ants’ central nervous systems. By the time the fungi been in the insect bodies for nine days, they have complete control over the host’s movements. They force the ants to climb trees, then convulse and fall into the cool, moist soil below, where fungi thrive. Once there, the fungus waits until exactly solar noon to force the ant to bite a leaf and kill it.

McCree’s ultimate continues to ramp up damage after you hit the red skulls, allowing you to potentially break a barrier and get a pick

it has been proven that devs were re-assigned to work on the OWL and not focus on the main game.
"The Overwatch League last fall, like the actual employees in the Overwatch League was very small, and Team 4 helped carried a bunch of the weight in terms of team branding and all that stuff. That was a conscious decision where we pivoted dev resources to help make sure Overwatch League was successful, instead of perhaps working on a new feature we could’ve potentially added to the game."

On the Numbani attackers spawn, you can destroy the signs in the back.
(If this is common knowledge, well i feel dumb. I just learned this the other day)

Samsung tests phone durability with a butt-shaped robot. People stash their phones in their back pockets all the time, which is why Samsung created a robot that is shaped like a butt—and yes, even wears jeans—to “sit” on their phones to make sure they can take the pressure.

You never knew about the Zombie Fungus?
That’s what the Clickers off The Last Of Us are based off of.
Paras and Parasect from Pokemon are based off that too.

The “Windy City” name has nothing to do with Chicago weather. Chicago’s nickname was coined by 19th-century journalists who were referring to the fact that its residents were “windbags” and “full of hot air.”

Reaper’s primary does more DPS than his ultimate which does not actually do enough damage to kill or outheal a Reaper that literally just walks into your ultimate and mercs you. It is a fact, not necessarily fun… unless you hate Reaper.

Peanuts aren’t technically nuts. They’re legumes. According to Merriam-Webster, a nut is only a nut if it’s “a hard-shelled dry fruit or seed with a separable rind or shell and interior kernel.” That means walnuts, almonds, cashews, and pistachios aren’t nuts either. They’re seeds.

Fun fact, Merriam-Webster does not know what a nut is.

Can you share link on where they said they worked on it only in the beginning of OWL?
My cool facts and super advanced things I’ve learned:
- On the really high skybox maps, Pharah can fly up to ceiling with a few cycles of shiftboost+hovering in place then position over a squishy, and fall towards them and shoot two rockets in a row, and since she is falling fast, the two rockets will be very very close to eachother, and the squishy is instantly killed before he can react and you are so high in the 1st place they can’t hear you. Us Pharah players call it stealth divebombs and it’s so glorious when you pull it off
- On the last attacker’s point for King’s Row, Pharah can fall down the hole and hover under the level to hide from dangerous ults like soldier/mccree/dva/genji and wait them out
- You can stand on a sym teleporter as Ana, shoot a hipfire shot towards 2nd tele, then teleport yourself, and heal yourself with own shot
- On the Oasis Gardens map, it was not mentioned in any patch notes but you can fly as Pharah OVER the walls directly out of spawn and angled a bit straight onto the point, they removed invisible walls here for some reason. It’s the ones lined with green plants way up high. A very nice shortcut to ferry mercy over as well
- Master Mercy’s guardian angel slingshot (where you press spacebar while flying to someone to cancel it and shoot a bit past them) and you can do it on someone jumping on flat ground in a way to where you shoot UPWARDS about 15 feet, giving you a discount widow grapple in a way that’s always off cooldown every second

I remember earing about this.
I also remember finding myself asking myself if i should have dropped everything i was doing at the time and spend allmy time and resources trying to make this work on humans too, or simply keep on playing games.
As of now, i’m asking myself if i made the right choice considering all the social crappy changes that are happening.
Also, font’s gross. Blizz please.

The longest English word is 189,819 letters long. We won’t spell it out here https://pastebin.com/wkKH8xD8 (though you can read it here), but the full name for the protein nicknamed titin would take three and a half hours to say out loud.

Fun fact!
Mercy with Mass Rez was never a must-pick for 5 months straight, with a nearly 100% usage rate.
