Things you didn't know until very recently...

Nice!

June Foray passed away in 2017, much later than I thought. I don't remember hearing about her passing. She was just a few months away from her 100th birthday.

Alan Jackson's record producer, Keith Stegall, follows me on Twitter.

You know those "moles" that throw wrenches at you in the Airship levels of several Mario games? They're actually Koopas! I thought for the longest time that they were moles, like Monty Moles.

There's a partly-collapsed Hard Rock Hotel in New Orleans with the dead bodies of two workers still inside, one of whom is visible from outside.

I had no idea that some of the YouTubers I subscribed are practically my juniors. It also goes both ways as some of the YouTubers who I thought sounded young were actually older than me. It is a strange world.

I know exactly how you feel. I discovered that about a specific YouTuber a while ago.

Freeman Dyson just passed away.

x5: I thought they were moles too! I learned something new today too.

Speaking of Youtubers' ages, I just found out that Bananasaurus Rex is younger than me, and has a page on Wikipedia.

(Sorry for double post)

The Chain Chomp appears as a weapon in Bayonetta 2.

It is weird.

Also, I learned that the military does accept people over the age of thirty although under special circumstances....I think.

Daft Punk invited Justice to be a supporting act for Alive 2007, but they turned down the offer!

Man, talk about What Could Have Been.

There are two Unicode characters for the benzene ring: ⏣ and ⌬

An Argentine music group called Carajo, which composed one of my all-time favorite songs in Spanish, disbanded in January this year.

Also, on an even more tragic note, the Latin American voice actor for Gohan was killed two days ago.

Doris Day passed away about a week ago.

Oh crap, she did. Who am I thinking of?

Uh, she died last year.

Turns out, the side mission where you get the Omega suppressor in The Division 2 is located in the Watergate complex.

Hell, I didn't even know Watergate looked like this!

One of the writers of Crash Landing on You is an actual North Korean defector.

@Burinnu: That edit you added... That is such a mood.

That Bant Eerin from the Star Wars Legends continuity has been intergrated back into the Star Wars canon.

Not recent buut for the longest time I thought the black and red spikes in Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh! were part of his jacket or a hood and that the blonde bangs was his hair, not that all of it was hair.

Best Of hasn't been on the forums in two years. Could have sworn I'd seen him around.

WikiHow has a page about How to Act Tsundere. XD

That's just the topmost atom of the tip of the iceberg, trust me. You can find some of the most surreal questions in that site (though it's still tame compared to Yahoo Answers...)

You can stack subscription periods for the Nintendo Switch Online. Right now I have a 2-year period. I also learned that you can play the NES and SNES offline for up to 7 days until next time you connect online.

The band Hail Sagan (known for their song "Doors Will Open" from the Wreckfest soundtrack) is not named after Carl Sagan, but the vocalist Sagan Amery. I Am the Band much?
