What did you learn today?

I learned the first English man to circumnavigate the globe was a pirate.

I learned that our immune systems don't know we have eyes and if it ever found out we have eyes it would destroy them both. Also bonus horrifying fact, our white blood cells are incredibly effective at killing cancer cells because they are doing it constantly. Humans only "get cancer" when it becomes out of control, which due to many circumstances everyone has about a 2/5 chance of being diagnosed with cancer in their lives and a 1/4 chance of dying from cancer. Ahh the human body, a true carnival of horrors.

Eww, it actually had pictures of people who died. Most news places don't disrespect the dead like that. But it was the worst industrial disaster ever.

Make it closer to 30 years. Lotta people "went West" after 1989. Birth rates also hit rock bottom during the 90s, which was why around mid- to late 00s a bunch of kindergartens and schools closed down from lack of students. And then several years later, when the gap closed, it triggered a schooling crisis. Classic lack of societal foresight.

But our population decline is the least of our troubles. If anything, it's prevalent precisely because of said troubles.

I learned that there's often no point in setting alarms to wake me up because I somehow always get up five or so minutes before the alarm rings.

I still set one though, just to be safe.

Same. I am not smart at all. Not in a general sense of the word, or any other usage.
