But despite being useless in the practical sense, some of these facts can actually be quite thought-provoking, interesting to ponder, and fun to share with others. That’s why, when one Redditor asked people online about the most useless pieces of information that they know, then answers came pouring in. Scroll down to read what they said!

The OP shared that he decided to ask this question minutes after learning that E is the most used letter in the alphabet, which he also shared in the comments of his thread. “It just sparked my interest in knowing a ton of useless information from people,” said the author, adding that he didn’t find any other use for it yet.
The success of his post caught the OP by surprise. “To be honest, I didn’t expect my post to blow up like that,” said the poster, talking about how this was probably the highest interaction he has ever gotten from Reddit. “It felt awesome. It felt like I was a celebrity for a moment lol.”

While you may not be able to practically apply some of the knowledge you come in contact with, and if you’re forced to learn it anyway, it might feel like a waste of precious time, as Brian Tomasik wrote in his blog, there are many other ways in which it can be valuable.
And we don’t look as deep to find that value. Learning in itself is a fun thing that can bring a lot of enjoyment. For example, you can learn by reading books or watching films, and while the stuff you come across there will rarely find practical application in your life, few would argue that it’s not entertaining. Plus, any kind of learning can come with some unexpected discoveries, as it can often be difficult to predict just what kind of information you’re lacking or what thing you don’t know you might like.

Acquiring new information and skills also works as an intellectual exercise that can be compared to a professional athlete going to the gym. Even if the stuff you’re learning doesn’t seem to matter at the moment, it can help you get into a habit of learning and prepare you for when you need to learn something actually important.

Memory techniques sound and are quite wonderful. However, the problem is that people sometimes don’t realize that these, too, have to be learned first and you can’t just jump right in, learning everything that you want with ease.

However, if you first practice these methods using useless information, you won’t feel the pressure if you can’t remember something that doesn’t really matter to you. Thus, you will be able to easily identify problems you run into and find ways to solve them.
