40 Intriguing “Today I Learned” Facts That You Probably Didn’t Learn In School (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
The internet can be a wonderful treasure trove of knowledge—so long as you’re curious, media-savvy, and know what sources are reputable. The ‘Today I Learned’ (aka TIL) online community is a powerhouse of edutainment and one of the most well-known groups on Reddit.
Its members share interesting facts about the world they learned only recently. It’s honestly the perfect inspiration to get all of our creative juices flowing and our brains (re)energized. We’ve collected some of the freshest and most intriguing TIL insights to share with you, Pandas. Scroll down to check them out.
Bored Panda got in touch with neuroscientist Burcin Ikiz, Ph.D., who shed some light on how getting older impacts our ability to learn new information, as well as how to stay curious about the world even when overwhelmed with grown-up responsibilities. Dr. Ikiz is the founder of the EcoNeuro project and the host of the Connecting Neurons blog on Psychology Today. Read on for her insights.

TIL that JFK didn’t invite Sammy Davis Jr. to his 1961 inauguration as Sammy had married a white woman, and JFK was worried that the presence of an interracial couple would upset Southerners. Dean Martin, who was angered by this news, refused to attend the inauguration in solidarity with Sammy.

In 1960 JFK won because of his pandering to the South. He promised Texas to not interfere with their racial laws, which won him the state. JFK was willing to make many compromises in 1960 to defeat Nixon who ran as a civil rights champion (BTW Nixon while VP, President, and until he died was a due paying member of the NAACP. He also did a lot of civil rights things during his presidency, put black people in high positions, etc. Nixon won 45% of the black vote for a reason, despite being a right wing Republican.)

And Nixon doesn't get credit for our exit from Vietnam. JFK was pushing for our involvement in Vietnam even as a junior senator. JFK is no hero.

JFK’s father ignored him while growing up to favor older brother Joe (who died in WW2). JFK returned the favor as an adult by ignoring his father and his advice. You can find many quotes where he praised his mother but none about his father.

Dr. Ikiz explained to Bored Panda that as people age, certain changes in brain function and structure can affect their ability to learn new information.
"Neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to form new neural connections, does not cease as we age, but it may slow down. The hippocampus, vital for memory formation, tends to shrink with age, and blood flow to the brain can decrease, impacting cognitive functions. Also, older adults often experience a decline in neurotransmitter systems, which can affect learning and memory," the EcoNeuro project founder and the host of the Connecting Neurons blog told us via email.
Though all of these changes can pose a challenge, they don't actually eliminate our ability to learn new things. "The brain has a remarkable capacity for adaptation and learning throughout life. It’s like a muscle; the more you practice learning, the more the brain’s learning ability will continue to increase," Dr. Ikiz noted.

In the meantime, Bored Panda wanted to get the neuroscientist's thoughts on how people can stay curious about the world while they're busy dealing with all the responsibilities that grown-up life throws at them.
"Maintaining curiosity in the face of adult responsibilities involves consciously cultivating a mindset of lifelong learning and exploration," Dr. Ikiz, the founder of the EcoNeuro project, said.
She shared a few strategies that can help with this. For instance, pursuing different interests and hobbies can stimulate various parts of the brain. That way, the entire learning process remains dynamic and interesting.
The neuroscientist also urged people to consider taking advantage of formal or informal education. There are lots of excellent ways to keep learning, from online courses and workshops to high-quality podcasts.

Slightly misleading. The VAST majority of Alaska is unoccupied. The cities have a far greater population density. But there are millions if acres where no one lives, so that skews the average. The post makes it sound like everyone who lives there has no neighbors closer than a mile. And that's not true.

It's not just through (in)formal education that we can learn new things about the world, though. We can do that by having social interactions with people from diverse backgrounds, to challenge our own ways of thinking and give us new perspectives.
Dr. Ikiz told Bored Panda that practicing mindfulness can also enhance cognitive flexibility. "Maintaining mental health is crucial in maintaining cognitive functions, including curiosity," the host of the Connecting Neurons blog on Psychology Today said.
Something else to consider is making small changes in your routine and environment. "This can mean traveling to new places, trying out different cuisines, or simply changing your daily route to work," the neuroscientist said that this sort of novelty can, in turn, lead to new experiences.

Though reading through tons and tons of random facts on the internet can be a lot of fun, it’s important to consider the reputation of the source. The TIL online community, for example, prides itself on verifying facts and backing up claims with legitimate sources. However, not all internet sources are as diligent as the TIL community.
During a recent interview with Bored Panda, Susan A. Nolan, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at Seton Hall University, shed some light on valid claims and conspiracy theories. "The difference between a valid, or even potentially valid, claim and a conspiracy theory comes down to the willingness to consider evidence," the co-host of the 'Misinformation Desk' blog on Psychology Today explained to us earlier.
"A conspiracy theory is not backed by evidence, and those who believe it tend to discount any evidence that does not support it. If you’re willing to consider evidence and change your mind based on it when warranted, you’re unlikely to fall for a conspiracy theory," the psychology expert said.

Many, but not all, expiration dates are arbitrary. Sometimes, they want you to throw it out so you will buy it again. OTC drugs are a great example. I am a pharmacist and we had to do the calculations in school. All FDA approved presciption drugs have a expiraration date of one year or less, regardless of when they lose potency. Most drugs are 90+% active much longer. It depends on the formulation. Pills last much longer than liquids, for example. That said, It is better to be safe than sorry so throw then out and buy more, I guess

She pointed out that people tend to believe in conspiracy theories because it gives them a sense of control in uncertain, scary situations.
"For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially early on, conspiracy theories gave some people a sense that there were solid answers. The science was shifting a lot early on—because that is how science works—so conspiracy theories might have felt more certain to some people," she said.

If you have an infinite number of any of these creatures on typewriters, they will type out the complete works of Shakespeare and everything else. Not only that, they will do it an infinite number of times! They would also type out the complete works with one typo, or with two typos, or with half of it in typos. And they would do all of THOSE an infinite number of times. It is an exercise about the nature of infinity, not about monkeys or Shakespeare or anything else.

Supermac's had wanted to expand beyond Ireland for years, but McDonald's fought this, arguing they had products too similar sounding to the Big Mac. This was rejected since McDonald's couldn't prove genuine use of the trademark and because McDonald's has coexisted with Supermac's in Ireland for decades with no confusion over the names.

Same. And I distinctly remember a conversation I had with my Black friend. I was whining about not being able to find a doll with green eyes and brown hair, like me. We were maybe nine. And she just sat there and stared at me, Like, for a really long time. It got very uncomfortable. And at first, my little nine-year-old brain didn't compute. But the longer she stared at me... light dawned. I ended up bawling. I felt SO bad. She was extremely kind, and we had a great conversation, for nine-year-olds. I'm guessing her parents modeled this behavior. Her dad was a literal rocket scientist. We ended up besties for years, and had many meaningful conversations that helped shaped me into the advocate and ally that I hope I am today. I never forgot that feeling of knowledge bursting into my brain. We lost touch, and she has a very common name, so I can't find her. But I'd love to. We also had a brilliant conversation about the differences in our hair.

Execution in Japan is by hanging, so each chamber features a trapdoor, with a separate room underneath so that the body, after falling through, can be confirmed dead. Honestly, I find both the method of execution and the fact prisoners are not told, families not informed, pretty damn barbaric, even if the punishment is deserved. However, it was a rule implemented in the 1970s iirc, as prisoners were committing suicide prior to their set execution dates. Honestly?

Not exactly. Children in the US are taught it celebrates the pilgrims surviving, with the help of the Native Americans. It's specifically taught that there was a friendship between the two groups. And Thanksgiving is a way to show that friendship. It's celebrated in autumn because the story goes the native Americans taught the pilgrims how to plant in America, and that's why there was such a bountiful harvest, that before native intervention, the pilgrims were all starving to death because they didn't know how to survive in America.

"We can shut the firm and go to our friend's funerals, because that's 20 funerals a day, every day for 35 days in a row," Lutnick recalled. "I said, 'Or we're gonna work harder than we've ever worked before, but the only reason we're going to do that is we're going to give 25 percent of everything we make to these families.'" Cantor delivered on that promise, distributing more than $180 million to the families of victims. https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/wtc/2016/09/10/after-losing-more-than-600-employees-on-9-11--cantor-fitzgerald-maintains-commitment-to-help-victims--families#:~:text=Cantor%20delivered%20on%20that%20promise,to%20the%20families%20of%20victims.

David Paterson 2 years ago
There is a world of difference between an "arranged marriage" and a forced marriage. And a difference between an arranged marriage and a child marriage, the age of consent on India is 21 for men and 18 for women. An arranged marriage is a marriage between consenting adults, where the parents arrange for the initial introduction. There are also "self-arranged" marriages on India.
Rick Seiden 2 years ago
I always thought "arranged" meant that your parent picked you spouse and you had no choice. But in India, where the person who explained it to me was from, it's more like a blind date situation where you get setup by your parents and you go and meet the person with the understanding that you're working towards marriage. You can call it off at any time.

Bob Brooce 2 years ago
The only reason the satellites need to move at all is to keep them in orbit. If they could stay there without falling out of the sky everything would still work, and it would be simpler because there would be no need to account for the speed. Your location is triangulated by the distance from each satellite's location. That distance is determined by how long it takes for the GPS unit to receive the signal, and that time is calculated by comparing the satellite's sending time to the GPS unit's receiving. Because even a very small error in time would result in a large error in distance the times need to be very precise, requiring a correction for time passing more slowly due to the speed of the satellite.

The project also studied the effects of hypnosis and forced addiction, to produce amnesia and other vulnerable states in subjects.

"By adding a leap day every four years, we actually make the calendar longer by over 44 minutes. Over time, these extra 44+ minutes would also cause the seasons to drift in our calendar. For this reason, not every four years is a leap year. The rule is that if the year is divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400, leap year is skipped. The year 2000 was a leap year, for example, but the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not. The next time a leap year will be skipped is the year 2100." - from airandspace.si.edu

Eh, most people with ruptured ear drums don't become deaf. If you're next to an explosion, you will have hearing loss because of the loud noise, not because of the possibly ruptured ear drums.
