So since my request for random fun facts in the last thread turned out great, here's another random fun fact to kick off this week:
The Kindlifresserbrunnen (Fountain of the Eater of Little Children) is an almost 500 year old statue in Bern, Switzerland that depicts a man pulling young children out of a bag and eating them alive. It was created by Swiss sculptor Hans Gieng, but no one seems to know what the intended message was supposed to be. There are many theories, but I think maybe Mr. Gieng just thought it was hilarious and was basically doing an elaborate 16th century shitpost.
If anyone else has a fun fact to share, please do!
People will let you do anything if your proposal is modest enough.
My fun fact: the only place on Earth where Venus flytraps grow is a small swampy area along the coast of North Carolina, USA. Like within about a ninety mile radius or so. Every time they're shown in documentaries they never mention it and always intimate that they're from somewhere more exotic and interesting. Also they are nearly impossible to grow from seed outside of their natural environment, so like 99% of the ones for sale anywhere on Earth have been illegally poached.
they're actually really easy to propagate from cuttings - the rampant poaching really confuses me honestly because of that fact. also they don't sell for very much money either
Oh no way, I had no idea. I should really fact check my decades old trivia I learned in middle school
I think the message is fairly clear. It's about a man eating children because children are tasty. What, the message has to be profound in some way and expound on the "human condition"? Why? It doesn't have to!
