What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
RE: What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?
One thing I knew for a while is that Bram Stoker’s Dracula has a long white mustache. What I didn’t know until recently: there actually is one adaptation that keeps that stache:

In 1984, a group of paleontologists ate meat from a 50,000-year-old mummified steppe bison that was discovered by gold miners in 1979, north of Fairbanks, Alaska. None of them suffered any ill effects.
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"

I’m suffering ill effects just from reading that.

Kudos and tip of the hat to one of my hillbilly cousins.

Waist-hip ratio is a stronger indicator of all-cause mortality than body mass index. It was noted that the study was in Britain and primarily caucasian/white.

Did the study include Benny Hill?

It's also weird that the actors from Bram Stoker's Dracula, a film made 31 years ago, don't seem to have aged very much. Probably nothing to worry about...

The 2022 Asia games did not occur anywhere in 2022 but is actually occurring now, sept 2023, in Hangzhou, china.


Furthermore, in this round, in addition to those participating in sports that actually require the athletes to, say, get off their butts, players of 5 separate video game titles also somehow are found to be competing for “athletic” medals.

in south korea, where universal conscription is in force but young men can get exemption for exceptional athletic achievements,   it is now possible to dodge the draft by playing video games.

Octopuses will change colour while sleeping. There is some indication that there is a direct correlation between the colours and what the animal is dreaming about.
