Don't worry, we have the solution—more fun trivia that will help make the time fly by. These fast facts cover everything from the animal kingdom to ancient history to the human body. You can conquer your boredom and gain some knowledge to impress your friends with at the same time. Whether you need to kill a few minutes or an entire hour, here's the best place to start. And if you need more trivia to keep you occupied, try these 5.

1.Cute animals are more likely to be endangered.

A 2018 study in PLOS Biology found that the most "charismatic animals"—such as lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes and other beloved creatures—are more likely to face threats to their survival. As the study's author puts it, "Unknowingly, companies using giraffes, cheetahs, or polar bears for marketing purposes may be actively contributing to the false perception that these animals are not at risk of extinction, and therefore not in need of conservation."

2.King Tut owned a dagger from outer space.

King Tutankhamun had lots of cool toys, but one of his most intriguing may have been a dagger, discovered in his tomb in 1925, made of meteoric metal. It wasn't until recently that scientists were able to confirm the material, using a technique called portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. They determined that the dagger's composition of iron, nickel, and cobalt "strongly suggests an extraterrestrial origin."

3.The art of Bambi was inspired by Chinese landscape paintings.

The backgrounds in Disney's Bambi were inspired by landscape paintings of the Song dynasty. It was an innovation by the film's Chinese-born lead artist, Tyrus Wong. Despite Bambi's celebration as an animation classic, Wong himself, according to the The New York Times, "endured poverty, discrimination and chronic lack of recognition, not only for his work at Disney but also for his fine art, before finding acclaim in his 90s."

4.There is a species of jellyfish that never dies.

Known as Turritopsis dohrnii—or colloquially, the immortal jellyfish—this sea creature is able to revert back into its adolescent state after going through adulthood, a "process that looks remarkably like immortality."

5.Our sharpest memories are from early adulthood.

Called "the reminiscence bump," this psychological concept holds that as adults reflect on events of their lives, they remember more events from their twenties than from any other time in their lives. According to psychologist Dan McAdams, this phenomenon grows out of the fact that this period of one's life is important in shaping one's identity or "life story."
