Proposed redefinition of SI base units
The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) has proposed:23 revised definitions of the SI base units, for consideration at the 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM).

Drink a significant amount (a shot glass is more than enough) of liquid nitrogen and you will definitely die by air(ish).

In American football, there can be at most one pass per play. That is, when the ball is thrown forward (in the direction of the goal) from one player to another. You can, however, lateral the ball any number of times, tossing it backwards from one player to another.

I'll leave here as a puzzle why the expression print~int(r+s,24)**4%577^4<4 checks whether cells r and s are a knight-move apart in algebraic notation, i.e. it's true for r='c3';s='d5'

There also appears to be the 135-degree unit, which seems kinda like the PHiZZ unit, and way too many other types here

I'd rather not DV8 from my current task to look that up, but sometimes looking up the wrong thing on Wikipedia and jumping to the See also section can help.

@El'endiaStarman Not quite the same, but reminds me enough to mention it: The dodecahedron 3 sections up from the bottom of this page is made from 20 strips of paper that follow the surface until getting back to where they started.
