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?

Windows 10 will automatically download updates and restart the computer to install them, potentially resulting in data loss. On Home version, there is no way to turn this off. You either learn to save everything you want to keep, or just disable the update service outright.
Thanks, Microsoft.

I remember everyone in my class in middle school talkign about Soulja Boy. I never got the appeal, but then I was never into rap

Reminds me of when everyone in my middle school was into Justin Bieber. I hated that little shit so much before he actually became a douchey piece of shit.

I don't think I ever liked anything my peers did growing up. I don't usually listen to rap, I'm indifferent to Halo, I have never liked Call of Duty, and that's really just off the top of my head.

I myself don't get the appeal of a guy who sings "Superman that hoe" but then again, I can't stand Beyonce so maybe I just have a very different opinion on music than my peers.

It's actually called "Crank That", but that phrase appears in the song.
That's actually a line from Crank That Soulja Boy.

@demetrios I think the weirdest song title would go to something like To the Workers of the Rock River Valley Region, I Have an Idea Concerning Your Predicament, and It Involves an Inner Tube, Bath Mats, and 21 Able-Bodied Men. Or just about any other song on Come On, Feel the Illinoise, honestly.

She's trans?
Huh, that makes 3 people affiliated with CA as coming out as trans.
Also, I think it's spelled Mochrie.

Fixed.
......... I think I need to make a trans tally chart of people I know of by this point. I'll put it right next to my "NY Animators Who Moved To California" chart. .... actually that latter one is on its fifth list....
That leaves the other two Jesuotaku and.... who else?

Iron Liz, but technically she was already trans, just not open about it until recently (though that didn't stop people from harassing her about it for years).
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
...I seriously just discovered that Iron Liz is transsexual through a Lord Kat that I was listening to podcast today.
What an amazing coincidence.

Not transsexual, transgender.
And you listen to Lord Kat? I can't stand that guy.

Ah, sorry about the mistake.
