There is a jellyfish that lives forever

There is a tiny creature in the ocean that has figured out how to beat the aging process entirely.

When the Turritopsis dohrnii jellyfish gets injured, sick, or just old, it doesn't die. Instead, it completely hits the biological reset button and turns its cells back into their youngest, earliest state—like a butterfly turning back into a caterpillar. It can repeat this cycle over and over again, making it biologically immortal.

Nintendo is older than cars

Most people think Nintendo started with video games in the 1980s, but the company was actually founded way back in 1889.

They originally made beautiful, hand-painted playing cards called Hanafuda. To put that timeline in perspective, Nintendo was founded the same year the Eiffel Tower was finished, and before the very first commercial gas-powered car was ever sold.
