19 posts held, back to 9 February 2025 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 20 March 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
150 reactions across 19 posts, in 13 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 42.7% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 19 of the 19 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 150 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 19 most recent posts we hold, published 9 February 2025 to 20 March 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
The Aldgate Death Pump. Since the 16th century, the pump stood in London and was known for its mineral-rich spring water. This continued until 1876, when calcium from human bones was found in water samples. As it turned out, the spring had washed away nearby cemeteries and the water literally contained human remains. While this was being investigated, people continued to drink water and an epidemic began - hundred…

I've often been asked, "What's my favorite car?" and I've always replied, "Next." Carroll Shelby, an automotive engineer. It doesn't matter if you create cars or use them, the main thing is to love them and strive to improve your level all the time.

On March 3, 1943, 173 people were killed in a stampede at the Bethnal Green air raid shelter in Britain. After the air raid alert was announced, too many people tried to get under protection and the crush became deadly. Germany did not drop any bombs on London that day.

The transition from foraging to agriculture has made our teeth weaker - you've probably heard that tooth decay, bite problems, and other joys of life in the form of wisdom teeth have been a pile of problems for 11,000 years. But there is another nuance - scientists have proved that without this transition, our speech would be completely different. A complete change in bite after switching to soft food changed the s…

A man checks his e-mail through a public phone using a Panasonic RL-P4001. This device was a portable computer that, when connected to a telephone network, allowed access to a semblance of the Internet that existed in that era.

Shortly before the Cuban Missile Crisis, mutual trolling of pilots almost led to a disaster. The Soviet Tu-95 missile carrier was flying off the coast of Cuba and ran into a US aircraft carrier. From where the interceptor immediately took off, he asked the Tu-95 to open the bomb racks to make sure they were empty. And I decided to troll by showing my own air-to-air missiles, which, unlike the Tu-95 weapons, were in …

A man looks at his five-year-old daughter's hands, cut off as punishment for a poorly done job collecting rubber. In 1885-1908, the Congo was the personal possession of King Leopold II of Belgium, during which years a brutal regime with a private army and labor service flourished in the country. Often, in order to force local residents to work, the colony authorities took women and children hostage and held them unde…

Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @FunFactsHistory. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
This channel appears in 2 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 1 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
