37 Times When People On Tumblr Pointed Out Historical Facts In The Most Entertaining Ways
You can hear folks claim that kids need the internet to study and learn new things. And that is absolutely true. But most of them were very probably referring to reading scholarly journals and educational articles and the like.
The internet has its own way of approaching education, and that is through things like Today I Learned on Reddit, YouTube channels like VSauce And CGP Grey, and, a personal favorite of mine, Tumblr.
Yep, the microblogging social medium, among many things, hosts some of the best-written narratives and rhetoric of educational nature, whether it’s about birds or dragons or restaurants as mafia fronts.

I'm not from the US) because one French dude was self-conscious about his receding hairline
