TIL the German word for chopsticks is "essstäbchen." I can kinda get why there are three "s" in a row (essen+stäbchen, i think) but it's still ridiculous
Today I learnt that the British English spelling of demeanor has a "u" in it...I live in New Zealand and we use British English but I've never seen it spelt with a "u" in my entire life lol
I learned that at super tuna-specialty restaurants in Korea, they serve "tuna tears soju" which is tuna eye liquid (tears? something translucent, solid, and round?) put in a shot of soju. I was shocked.
Apparently other things like fruit juice are added and only a tiny bit of the fish eye liquid is added so overall it tastes ok.
I learned a little about global warming while watching Our Planet on Netflix. Half way through and its really sad and eye opening when looking at the real picture. This was lead me into looking into helping earth and our planets life
I just found out that there was a Little Mermaid game released on the NES? I knew about The Lion King, Aladdin, Toy Story, etc. on the SNES/Genesis but I didn't know The Little Mermaid also got one?
Today I learned that white corn is far superior to kettle corn. I thought I've been having kettle corn with my gf and her brother every weekend when we get together and play Mario Party and . Got myself some and nope, that wasn't it. Too sweet. Off to the store to get the amazing white corn I normally would just have butter popcorn but my world is changing.
I learned that planting avocado seeds will not guarantee a tree with the exact same fruit as the seed it came from but rather, different versions that might taste worse.
i'm learning how to program in Processing. never used that specific programming software i have programmed in Java before (pure suffering at the start but i managed to get good enough to pass my class at least) so i feel a little confident going into this.
anyway, i'm watching this guy who is really passionate about it on youtube and his videos help so much more to understand the basics than my lecturer's morning lecture today which was almost pure rambling.
TIL that the player character whom I've only ever known by the name "Gold" from Pokemon GSC does in fact have an actual name like the other protagonists, and it's Ethan.
Going along with the duck theme of a post on this page: I learned that male ducks are called drakes! Apparently female ducks are called either hens or just simply, ducks.
. Got myself some and nope, that wasn't it. Too sweet. Off to the store to get the amazing white corn
