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?

Bear spray was invented in the 1980s. I thought it was older.

There are Islanders fans burning Tavares jerseys after he signed with the Maple Leafs. Don't know why that was so surprising for me to learn given the aftermath of The Decision 1.0.

The 2000's is getting it's own decade special on CNN.

The Capcom Bar closed back in February this year D: and I wanted to go there when I would finally get to go to Japan one day...

and Yeah. That sounds like a total missed opportunity. I guess VH 1 couldn't get Paul Scheer and the gang to put How Did This Get Made? on hold for an episode or two.
There is an Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. Among them are the stops on the New York City Subway IRT #1 train starting from 14th Street and going uptown.
Apparently Friends is getting a reboot. I wonder how they'll ruin it.
Hi
Having a good time!
Retconning Rachel getting off the plane in the final episode? Best I could come up with.
Klonoa, Dream Traveller
I remember hearing that Cyberchase is still running, so I was wondering if Christopher Lloyd was still voicing the Hacker.
If IMDB is correct, then apparently the Hacker has only been in 35 episodes, and hasn't been in the show at all since 2015.
Still hoping for Klonoa to get a new game... or a movie like this
That can't be right. I could have sworn he was in almost every episode...

There's a remake of Meteor Garden (the phenomenally popular 2001 Taiwanese adaptation of Boys over Flowers) coming to Netflix.

The Sbubby meme is still alive.

There's a subreddit and everything!

I knew Rachael Ray had been mugged once, but I learned today that she has been mugged twice.

A Series of Unfortunate Events (2017) has won the Peabody Award.
King John II of Portugal is the one who gave the Cape of Good Hope its name.
