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?

The average Metascore of a MCU film is 66. T:TDW's Metascore is 54, so it's 12 spots away from the average. The average RT score of a MCU film is 81%. T:TDW's RT score is 66% - 15 spots away from the average. 12 + 15 = 27, so the film is a total of 27 spots away from the average (if that make sense).

Peace is the only battle worth waging.
What did you mean by IM 2 being in the opposite direction?
what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else
I'm assuming he means that while Thor 2 got low scores, Iron Man got high scores.
Mweheheh

There's an arc elseworld where Spider-Man kills Mary Jane with his radioactive semen.
That's what I get for staying up all night reading Cracked.

Elseworld. Not arc.
Whoops, sorry, I thought you said Iron Man 2.
That's why I was so confused.

Re: Gautama Buddha as a Christian saint: he's not an official saint though (i.e. he wasn't canonized).
Worldbuilding is fun, writing is a chore

May I ask HOW and WHY it got a Teen Choice Award?

Mweheheh
It hasn't won yet, just nominated.
No longer in use
So apparently there's a word for the condition of having more than one head: polycephaly.

It was suggested about a century ago to farm hippos in the southern states to provide meat & control invasive plants.
How so?
Probably due to the updates Niantic made to the app, including taking away in-app-purchased items to make everyone feel like they want their purchases refunded.
Pokemon Go didn't take away in all purchases ? So far the one thing people are grumbling about is the lack of Pokemon tracking. Which has been explicitly stated to remove stress on the servers until niantix gets them sorted out
Also farming hippos sounds near impossible and would probably create more problems then it solves

I didn't say they took away ALL the items. They only took away some, namely Pokeballs.
Making Unicorns Cool Again Since 2010
@kyun I installed the update and I checked, and pokeballs are still available in the shop.
40 hippos in one park doesn't sound like a huge problem. If there were more on the scale proposed in that bill then it would be. But another problem I had in mind is that you can't ranch hippos. If you could they would have been domesticated thousands of years ago. Mainly because they're one kf the deadliest animals on the planet.
