Reply to TIL A coal seam in Australia is believed to have been burning for 6,000 years, making it the oldest coal fire. The site's name is Mount Wingen but is commonly called Burning Mountain and the fire is traveling south 1m per year discoloring the ground as it goes. by jamescookenotthatone

Australia never ceases to be more terrifying to me.

Reply to TIL: WW1 Armistice Day was Nov 11th, fighting was to cease at 11:00 AM. An American solider charged a German machine gun nest with 16 mins left, and died at 10:59 AM. The last soldier to die in WWI. by wats6831

I thought i heard a couple of Americans didn’t hear abour Armistice and killed some German guy who was trying to be friends. Just after Armistice. Anyone else heard that?
