1. Every glass of water you drink is likely to contain at least one molecule that a dinosaur once drank. Gross, but fascinating – and completely true.
2. You won’t develop fingerprints as soon as you are born. These will develop when you are around three months old.
3. The fact that sleeping people swallow eight spiders in their lifetime is a falsehood created to test the power of the internet. It’s more likely that you will swallow close to zero in your sleep – spiders are smarter than you think, they won’t go crawling into a mouth willingly!

What about if u drink bottle water? Cause ik some people don’t drink tap water
Hi Abenezer, interesting point. Even water in a bottle comes from somewhere, if water has been on the Earth inside a water cycle system and the same amount of water has been on the Earth for billions of years, it means the composition of water remains the same.
Modern filtration and safety standards mean that the water that comes out of your taps today is free from harmful bacteria, but at its core, it’s the same water that has always existed on earth and could then indeed contain dinosaur molecules.

Just to add, bottled water comes from many sources (spring water and purified) water supplies.
