The ‘Today Years Old’ Social Media Project Shares Cool Facts, And Here Are 50 Of The Very Best Ones
Interview
We firmly believe that learning happens all life long. You don’t suddenly turn off your curiosity and desire to get to the truth of things the moment you graduate from school or get your college degree. Sure, all of life’s responsibilities—like paying taxes and petting cats—might get in the way a bit, but at the core of it all lies a simple truth: we love learning new things about the world.
The fun thing about knowledge is that it isn’t a race. Though some people like to gently poke fun at others for only hearing about [insert a random piece of trivia here] only just now, the truth is that we all have knowledge blind spots. It’s awesome social media projects like ‘Today Years Old Media’ that help us learn something entirely new about the world while entertaining us with some witty quips at the same time.
We’ve collected some of the coolest facts, as shared by the TYO team, to give you something fun to talk about during your next coffee break/dinner party, Pandas. So get ready to learn something new, prepare yourself for a ton of fun, and don’t forget to take notes. Oh, did we mention that a ton of these facts are animal-related? The Arabian sand boa is particularly delightful company, we feel.
As you’re scrolling down, upvote the posts that really got your noggins jogging, and consider following the TYO accounts if you enjoyed their stuff.
Aidan Schwieger, the founder of 'Today Years Old Media,' was kind enough to answer our questions about the project. "I always found myself coming across random facts that truly blew my mind, and couldn’t help but share them in the hope that others would find them as fascinating as I did," he told Bored Panda.

"I’m truly amazed that the project has had such a positive response on Twitter, literally overnight. We’ve had a long-standing presence on Instagram, but I’m so glad the content we share has now found a home on Twitter as well," Aidan, from TYO Media, told Bored Panda that he's over the moon about the fact that social media users enjoy the content he shares so much.
Bored Panda was interested to find out how 'Today Years Old' decides on what to share with its fans.
"In all honesty, I really share whatever interests me. I love learning new things and when I come across something unusual or unexpected, I can’t help but share it," Aidan, the founder of 'Today Years Old Media,' told us.

"The project has just recently taken off on Twitter so it’s hard to say what resonates with people the most, but we hope to continue to be a daily source of trending facts and discoveries in a variety of topics."
As for reigniting one's curiosity and passion for learning, as well as chasing away cynicism, the founder had this to say: "There is always something new to learn in our world. You can never really know everything."
He added: "I hope this project will allow people to find new interests and encourage us to continue to be curious about the world around us."

This is actually vital to their survival if they're orphaned and can't be placed with a surrogate. Cheetahs have complex social interactions, and orphaned cheetahs fail to learn the "language". If they try to integrate an orphaned cheetah into the coalition, the coalition will reject them. They can't survive alone, so the orphaned cub bonds with the puppy (as opposed to a human) and they live happily ever after.

Okay, maybe a stupid question, but they are still wild animals, aren't they afraid they'll eat their companion once they're grown?

They're social animals. If they grow up with the dog, they'll regard it as part of their coalition. Kind of like how you raise certain kinds of sheepdog with a flock so they'll see the flock as their pack and protect it.

Meanwhile, we also got in touch with the friendly team at the PDSA for a chat about animals and becoming a veterinarian as a profession. The PDSA is the United Kingdom's leading vet charity and they have 48 pet hospitals around the country.
"If you ask a vet or vet nurse why they chose their career, you may expect them to say that it is because they love animals and this is, of course, a huge part of their motivation. However, there is much more to it than that," PDSA Vet Nurse Shauna Spooner told Bored Panda about the motivation behind people's decision to become vets.
"People looking into a veterinary career will be passionate about science, problem-solving, and research as well as having a thirst for knowledge. They will want to make a difference not only to animals but also to their owners. They will be keen to act as a voice for those who can’t speak—championing animal welfare, educating others about the importance of the 5 Welfare Needs, and relieving the pain and suffering of species that are unable to tell us how they feel," she said.

"Skills and knowledge are essential in the veterinary world. After their initial training, vets and vet nurses continue to complete hours of Continued Professional Development (CPD) each year, ensuring they maintain, improve, and broaden their skills and knowledge. Veterinary medicine is constantly evolving and there is always something new to learn! In addition to this, compassion, empathy, and professionalism are required, particularly when dealing with sensitive situations such as euthanasia."
PDSA Vet Nurse Shauna explained to us that learning more about animals can help us have more empathy for them. "It is so important for children to learn to care for and respect animals as, by doing so, it can help them grow into caring and compassionate pet owners of the future," she said.
"Education is important for everyone though, not just children. The more we know about animals and understand that they too are sentient beings that feel the same emotions and pain that humans experience, the more likely we, as a society, are to treat them well. In addition, learning about the 5 Welfare Needs that all animals need to be happy and healthy helps to ensure that our pets have everything they need to live their best lives," Shauna told Bored Panda.

The ‘Today Years Old Media’ network is absolutely massive. 167.3k people follow the TYO project on Twitter. A further 20k internet users follow their Facebook page. And a whopping 9.4 million users are followers of the TYO Instagram page.
The appeal of the project is edutainment: equal parts education and entertainment. It’s all about having a ton of fun while remembering the simple fact that life on Planet Earth is far stranger and more interesting than it might seem. Some of us forget about that during the daily grind. Sometimes, all it takes is a single tweet or Instagram post running across our feeds to remind us what it felt like to be a kid skimming through a massive encyclopedia.
Parenting blogger Samantha Scroggin, from ‘Walking Outside in Slippers,’ previously shared her thoughts about helping kids maintain their sense of wonder and curiosity as they grow with Bored Panda.
"I believe by staying curious and enthusiastic about the world ourselves, we will help our kids be openly curious and enthusiastic," she said that parents set the example and kids naturally follow it.

"When we visit museums as a family, for example, I always ask lots of questions and my children do the same. When we travel, my husband and I demonstrate excitement for the new sights, experiences, and even food. This is an amazing world, and I want my children to always appreciate that," the parenting blogger shared her thoughts with us.
"I figure my kids won't love every assignment at school. That's just how it goes. I still loathe math. But I try to help them power through school homework assignments they don't want to do," she said that parents can help their kids get through the topics that they don’t enjoy at school. Support goes a long way.
"I will sit with them and we go through it together in case they have questions. If they hate the task, there's a good chance that's because it doesn't come easy to them (like me with math!). And there will definitely be a special sweet treat of their choice at the end," blogger Samantha said.

The Chinese call owls "Cat Eagle." I'm starting to understand now.
Ash 3 years ago
This owl is not sitting cross-legged. He's just sitting on his hocks, which causes the toes to clamp closed - that's how they stay on branches when sleeping without falling off - and because he's on the floor (instead of on a perch) his feet are rolled inward. Given that he is on the floor, which is covered in potty pads, I would venture to guess that this is an injured rescue who cannot perch.

Also, interstates that are even numbers run east and west, while those with odd numbers run north and south. (Note: This only applies to interstates.) Also, interstate spur lines are identified by adding a number to the beginning. For example, I live near I-91; its two spur lines are 291 and 391.

The kits (3, but only 2 survived) were clearly marked by their coloration and markings at birth, even though they were just naked lil nuggets of adorable :)

Pigment is, for the most part, not just in the hair but in the skin. A brindle dog has brindle skin. A black cat has black skin. You can see this clearly on hairless animals - hairless dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, and rabbits all have visible markings on their skin that would correlate to coat patterns if they had fur, it is just most obvious in colors that have more melanin (black, chocolate, sometimes agouti, etc); lighter coat colors mean lighter skin color.

They're big, but even the biggest of males are under 12" tall, weighting about a pound. They're the most sexually dimorphic of any species of bat, with the males being up to twice the size of females, and having large, elongated heads with enlarged noses, larynx, and lips that help their mating calls to echo loudly. Even though they're important for seed dispersal, they're considered pests in their native habitat because they're nocturnal and noisy...which is why the one in the photo is the opposite of alive....

This is misleading as it does not apply to all ovens. If it is a warming drawer, proofing dough is probably not its primary function. (Proofing cabinets ideally have steam or humidity added to keep the surface of breads from drying out.) The purpose of this drawer really depends on the oven. Some do have warming drawers, some have broilers, and others generally less expensive ranges have nothing but extra storage.

None of that is accurate. The "nut" is actually a seed which hangs below the accessory fruit. The raw seed contains toxic urushiol (the same stuff from poison oak/ivy), which is removed through steaming or roasting. That's why you can't buy raw cashews at the grocery store (some are labeled "raw", but they've actually been steamed). The accessory fruit is not at all poisonous, and is said to be delicious, but it rots only a few days after being picked, so you can only eat them in the parts of the world that farm cashews.

No - they are called epaulettes. They are used to display military rank insignia.
Alexandru Bucur 3 years ago
What we now call "epaulettes" in fact come directly from the shoulder straps used during Napoleonic era to keep the shoulder cross belts in position, so this post is absolutely correct. During the same period, rank was shown either on the sleeve cuff (for most non-commissioned officers and corporals) or through metal fringed epaulettes (for some non-commissioned and all commissioned officers). As the century progressed and the uniforms got simpler, fringed epaulettes fell out of favour and were replaced with simple shoulder boards at which time they also decided to put the rank on the shoulder straps for everyone else, for ease of use. However, bear in mind that, in English, the word "epaulette" refers specifically to the bit of cloth that displays the rank (also called a "shoulder mark") and not to the strap itself, which is still called a "shoulder strap". Source: I'm an active reenactor with uniforms from 1806 to 1947.

This makes for a solid, family friendly joke, but it's not the true reason. After all, why would you wish for someone to be in the cast when they're about to perform (aka they've already been in the cast for the entire rehearsal cycle)? The actual purpose comes from the superstitious belief that wishing someone fortune (ex. "good luck") before a performance may actually jinx them and cause misfortune. Wishing misfortune upon them instead is therefore the opposite, and brings them good fortune. A broken leg used to have a high mortality rate, so that was one of the most unfortunate things you could wish upon them.

Meh, this doesn't withstand simple scrutiny. Parents pick you up as a baby, a toddler, and a young child. It's not like they reach a predetermined cutoff point and say "alright baby, that's the last pickup, you're on your own now!" There's also no specific point where someone ceases to be a baby and instantly becomes a toddler; it's a fuzzy transition. Similarly, I don't think people go to bed one night thinking "I'm an adult" then wake up thinking "I'm middle aged". We're constantly changing slowly, and the labels we assign to phases of growth are guidelines more than they are discrete certainties.

Nice example of an explanation tailored to fit. No one writes an 8 like that, and even if they did their 0 would look rectangular (i.e. have four corners), six and nine are normally written pretty much similarly to each other (only upside down), so no three additional angles for a 9, a 2 has one angle, the rest is rounded, a 5 has two angles.
