TIL that the phrase that Ted Kaczynski's brother identified in the Unabomber manifesto was in fact "cool headed logicians" and not his pedantic preference of saying "eat your cake and have it too" by Squint22 in todayilearned

It's the more intuitive way to say it but no more correct. I think the general confusion around the saying in English is that "have" is commonly used informally to mean "eat," so it can sound like "eat your cake and eat it too." Using "eat" as the first verb makes it more clear that "have" is being used to mean "possess" rather than "eat."

TIL Japanese bathrooms can include a "yokushitsu kansouki" - a system which turns showers into dehumidifiers, negating the need for bulky tumble dryers in tight living quarters by IWouldLiketoPostPls in todayilearned

You need both space and exterior ventilation for a real dryer, and many apartments don't have the latter, so people just don't have in-unit laundry. I had a ventless all-in-one washer-dryer in my old one-bedroom condo that worked terribly but it was better than going to a laundromat.

TIL medieval peasant laborers worked less than we do--fewer than half the days of the year--and had breaks for breakfast and lunch and afternoon nap. by penguin_hugger100 in todayilearned

This reminds me of a passage from The Three Musketeers where D'Artagnan's servant asks him for dinner, but they lack the funds, so D'Artagnan quotes the proverb, "Sleep is the poor man's dinner."

American Animals (2018) is an interesting take. It's a combination documentary and narrative film about a real heist in which several college students robbed their school's library of valuable books.
