Welcome to Useless Knowledge®
I’m Eddie Rohwedder, and Useless Knowledge® is the dive bar of the internet—where the curious, the restless, and the misfits come to swap strange stories, dig into forgotten corners, and leave a little smarter, or at least better entertained.
My curiosity has an undeniable thirst for forgotten history, strange places, useless trivia, beautiful chaos, and the kind of unforgettable people you only find when you wander off the map.
Here, we serve up daily doses of trivia, fun facts, and deep dives into the weird, the forgotten, and the just plain fascinating. From ancient oddities to internet ephemera, we connect the dots no one else is even looking for.
I’ve executive-produced everything from Dirty Jobs and The Ultimate Fighter to Ghost Hunters, Fast N’ Loud, and Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy. I even wrangled the strange and surreal as a senior producer on Ripley’s Believe It or Not. But here? No format. No filters. No gatekeepers. Just the good stuff—the kind that makes you stop mid-scroll and say, “Wait, what?”
We’ve carved out a strange little corner of the internet—a community built by the curious, for the curious. Glad you found us. Pull up a chair. Stay hungry, and Stay foolish, as Mr. Jobs would say.

P.S. Full disclosure: My distant cousin, Otto Frederick Rohwedder, invented sliced bread. So when I tell you that Useless Knowledge® is the greatest thing since sliced bread, it’s not just a flex—it’s practically a family tradition.
