"There’s an operating system called TempleOS that’s created by a sole programmer called Terry A. Davis.

It’s nuts because not only he developed an operating system, which is incredibly hard to do especially for one person, but he even created his own compiler, kernel, and a programming language to go with it.

most crazy part was that Terry has schizophrenia and had visions of God, which lead him to make an operating system that’s supposed to act as the Third Temple. the OS runs on 16-colour display and 640×480 resolution “as God intended”."

"A real life Forrest Gump. Made one clueless financial decision after another and kept getting richer. Was fooled into shipping “coal to Newcastle” (where the saying came from) but made a serious profit because it arrived right before a miner’s strike.

Got tired of his wife and told people she died. When they visited and saw her walking around the house, he just said that was her ghost."

"Former Major League Baseball(MLB) Player Rube Waddell.

Here is the first paragraph under the Early baseball career heading.

“Waddell’s career wound through a number of teams. He was notably unpredictable; early in his career, he once left in the middle of a game to go fishing. He also had a longstanding fascination with fire trucks and ran off the field to chase after them during games on multiple occasions. He would disappear for months at a time during the offseason, and it was not known where he went until it was discovered that he was wrestling alligators in a circus.”"

"The wikipedia page titled, “Timeline of the Far Future”, is kind of mind-blowing. It describes the year 10101056th:

"There’s a wikipedia page on the human race. That’s not weird.

The weird part is that, per Wikipedia style guidelines, it’s written in the third person, which, in context, makes the whole thing sound like it was written by aliens."

#19. It's definitely not. Look into super colonies of ants. Ants have colonies that spread over entire continents. If you place an ant from one super colony into a pen from another super-colony they will actively attack it. These colonies also regularly battle for territory between one another.

It also depends on what you would consider a war too. Prides of lions will fight each other for the female and territory. A male lion will kill a prides Dominant male and if they win they will kill all the cubs and steal and impregnant the lionesses .
And chimpanzees in general are known to regularly attack and fight other groups of rival chimps. Chimps just love to fight.
