I learned that you can grow rosemary and other herbs outside in the forbidding high plains of New Mexico.

There's a small bit of correspondence that people claimed to be between St. Paul and Stoic philosopher Seneca the Younger. It was accepted as genuine for a bit over a millennium, even though it's an obvious forgery (for one thing, they go as far as dating the correspondence by the consuls at the time, and the last two letters cite a pair of consuls that were never in power.)

If you order coffee at a cafe in Bosnia, it comes with a complementary cigarette.

That many popular brands of banana candies "off banana" flavor is not due to weird ingredients, but the extinction of the banana their recipes were designed to mimic since those "taste profiles" were engineered. The older banana was sweeter, but lacked the more complex hints of it's starchier successor. Put alot of essays and op-eds about the terrible loss of those old bananas in perspective. I'm not even mad, they must have tasted like shit.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
You can actually watch whole movies on Wikipedia. Like the movie "It" (1927) which was a box office hit back in 1927.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Watching a Vaush video, I recognized the woman whose video he’s dissecting:
I saw one of her videos about how far gone her former students (and by extension, the rest of the coming generations) are in their lack of discipline months ago, and it turns out she’s really been hiding her power level.

I'm not even mad, they must have tasted like shit. Not quite extinct. You can still find them in some other countries, particularly in nations like Burma or Thailand, (where they’re exported to China and Japan). If not there, you might be able to find some if you have good fruit connections (apparently, a few are even grown in Florida), are willing to pay far out the ass for them (ironic, given how Cavendish bananas are usually so cheap in stores), and know what other nations tend to call them.

I don't know what's more bizarre, that there are people who actually review videos of other people taking a shit, or that apparently you can do this while being completely blind.
