“If the entire history of life were crammed into an hour, humans only came into existence in only the last second.” 🤯🤯 I'm a Staff Writer for BuzzFeed, often covering topics like love and relationships; vintage and historical content; food; and anything else the internet is buzzing about.

Some businesses still use fax machines today." "The French government executed someone with a guillotine on Sept. 10, 1977, for the last time." "It was a group of temperate islands similar in size to the British Isles inhabited by giant flightless birds, and no mammals apart from bats. If it was discovered today, it would be quarantined to protect its unique ecosystem." "Here's the video: 'I've Got a Secret: 1956.'" "There were people who were directly involved in all four." "Dude probably watched Looney Tunes on a color TV. We associate this guy with the 1800s, but it turns out he was more recent." "They weren't actually discovered until 1916, by Albert Einstein." "Add to that it seems to have extensive water erosion leading one or two experts to theorize it was constructed when the area was subtropical and not the desert that it is today. So the time scale between the pyramids and the Sphinx ranges from 1000 years to 10,000 years depending on who you believe." This one, The Brazen Head in Dublin, Ireland, was founded in 1198.
