What interesting things have you only recently learned about?
To be clear, this is about things which have been true for some time and you only recently learned about, not things that only happened recently. In particular, recent deaths of celebrities and other high-profile individuals should go in the General RIP Thread
.
So, what interesting things have you guys...and gals...only recently learned about?

That wouldn’t surprise me, but has any solid evidence been found?
Whenever AOL writes an article about Trump, 100% of all the replies to it are always from Trump supporters.
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is a Cult Classic. I think it's best that I don't ask how this film even has fans at all...

It took me a few rewatches of "School Daze" (specifically, the "School of Friendship" song) to notice the handedness (hoofedness? clawedness?) of the "Student Six":
- Sandbar: right
- Gallus: left
- Silverstream: ambidextrous

As someone who's a lefty, I'm happy with this.

Snails have teeth. They have 25, 000 of them to be precise.
AND NOW I HATE THEM.
The Big Boy in my hometown closed in 1998 and hasn't been retenanted since. This part I already knew.
What I did not know is that EVERYTHING IS STILL INSIDE OF IT. Just like the Hardee's downstate that's been abandoned just as long.
Seriously. How is it that I have eaten at not one, but two different restaurants that are now abandoned 20+ years yet still have everything inside of them?!
Mweheheh
A Milli Vanilli Greatest Hits Album was released… in 2006.
Even the food?

If the food's still there, it probably looks and tastes exactly the same as it would have 20 years ago.
