What did you learn today?

[NotaNuffian]

TIL Acme, other than a poorly MTL JP word for orgasm/ climax and the Looney Tunes store.

It is a noun that means the point at which something is at its best or most highly developed.

I learned that my attempt to make stuffing balls failed miserably.
Do not take my earlier suggestion and it has been deleted. ?

 

[CheertheSecond]

New shit I learnt today.
I heard people call it bird, cat and camel. Now I know it can also be called platypus.

I learned that Pancake is a swear word in Russia.

Bleen!

I learned that long, hot showers can mostly relieve excessive adrenaline/anxiety/overactive sympathetic nervous system issues for a decent amount of time.

Learned for writing on here to add more to a synopsis so I did. Also last night I found a song I been searching for for eight plus years:

for those who don’t know how I got my start in writing was I had played a vampire themed flash game as a child which got me into vampiric stories. And this song was on it. That song is kinda where my character of my vampire idol story, Darius, came into existence.
I was so pumped about it I told my best friend about it. Because her and I were joking about me not finding it, and for some reason I got the urge to play the flash game last night and thus: this song is in my library now :D

I was unaware if you paused the screen with Ralphie fiddling with his Little Orphan Annie decoder pin in "A Christmas Story", you can clearly see the year "1940" etched on the front. The mystery as to exactly what year the movie is set in has finally been solved. ? ?

I learned a lot of old-school Soda Jerk lingo. Food service workers really do develop their own little languages, don't they?

[Rookieqw]

The "Washizu arc", from the manga Akagi, started in 1997 and ended in 2017. This is an arc focused on the match of Akagi versus Washizu. Should you ever think you draw events for too long... Know that this exists. It is awesome, and Akagi's jaw is the stuff of legends.

I learned that God rest ye merry gentlemen is from 1760

TIL or more specifically, a hour ago I learnt that寻秦记 will come out in theaters in 31 Dec 2025.

Why I was shocked because I watched the TV series in the 2000s (it was out in 2001).

Why I was double shocked because it was a novel that ended in 1996.

I learned that in the bomb scene of barefoot gen, there is an actual frame that has the real photo, colorized.

I learned that I'm going to be a night guard at the local children's hospital soon. I also learned that quitting the part time job I've been working at Walmart ever since I lost my real job is going to be extremely satisfying.

...and I just right now learned that "I'm going to be a night guard at a children's hospital" sounds like the opening line for a scary story. I might need to do something with that.

A Step into the Past, right? Such a relic. If you look deep enough, some tropes popular in webnovels and LNs may actually originate from those Hong Kong serialized novels.

I'll be frank, I only know JinYong.and by extension GuLong.

As of originating from Hong Kong? Most likely seeing that Indiana Jones is "inspired" by old radio dramas.
