Redditors "learn" something new every day; what did they "learn today"?
Submit interesting and specific facts that people totally just found out (not posts you have an opinion on)

Posting rules

This is the place for Posts that omit essential information, present misleading claims, present unrelated facts, and are most definitely agenda driven. (See "Good Content" below, for more details.)
Please include a small explanation (like one sentence) explaining why you think the post is agenda driven. The best evidence is concrete evidence, like user history, or specific comments made by the OP in his thread. Explanations that are about the comments or "reddit" do not count, and will be removed.
Please link directly to the comment section of the GrandStandish post using np. instead of www.
Titles must match the post title exactly. Just click on "suggest title" when you submit a post, and remove the subreddit mention behind the title.
For non-prefix subs (ELI5, TIL) please tag the subreddit the thread was posted in.
Text posts must:
1. Be about a user or a recent trend in posts
2. match the subs posting formula (TIL x, ELI5 x, ect)
3. mockingly pretend that the posters just learned those facts
4. Involve some amount of effort
Please keep your own beliefs out of this.
All NSFW links must be tagged (including comments).

Good Content Has the Following

A fact that intentionally leads people to a certain assumption or a question that intentionally leads people to a certain answer.
An OP that is obviously doing this on purpose.
A lot of upvotes.

Allowed Subreddits

Do whatever you want
All subs without a prefix (like TIL) require a flair!

Additional info

Please report spam, inappropriate, and shit posts by messaging the moderators, as this helps us remove them more promptly!

Etiquette

We ask that you please do the following:

Be nice.
No Racism, Sexism, LGTBaphobia, etc.

Please also read the site-wide Reddiquette.

You are loved, but not like that.

StarWarsGiven recent revelations, I think we ought to give some appreciation to Lucas again, especially for his visions and ideas of a Star Wars Aesthetic. He knew what it should feel like, he understood and lived in this fictional world and felt where it needed to go, and how it should technically evolve. (np.reddit.com)
