The "I learned something new today!" Thread

I just learned that the Cloud Appreciation Society is a real thing and now I want to join it lol
 
I just learned that I've been saying certain words wrong.. ooof

Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, and a lot of other vegetables all belong to the same species of plant, Brassica Oleracea. They're all just different cultivars. I knew they were closely related, but I didn't know they were the same species.
 
Yes it tastes like a goat smells

Goats can't help the way they smell ;_; (Lil bit of backround, I used to work with goats and now I find them adorable).

Today I learned that a Doberman Pinchers and Pitbulls ears aren't natrually small and pointy nor are Dobermans tail natrually docked. People cut/dock the ears/tail to make them look more menacing. Why are people so mean to dogs ;;;_;;; Also the cutting of the ears impairs a dog ability to hear.

911 basically didn't exist for a while. Like, in 1979, only 26% of Americans had access to 911 services.
I sort of just assumed that was, like, the first number they introduced.
 
Today I learned frankie muniz had a series of mini strokes and doesn't remember filming malcom in the middle
 
I learned that Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Sasha Banks, and Brandy and Ray J are all cousins (except Brandy and Ray J who are all siblings).
 
I learned that the little yellow duckling in Tom & Jerry cartoons is named Quackers.
 
Loftwings from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword are heavily based on the shoebill, a bird native to east Africa. I always liked their designs, so this was a pleasant discovery.
 
Stymied is a word used when something is causing someone to be stuck. E.G. A budgie is indoors chirping away by the window. A cat is locked outside and wants to get the bird. The window has the cat stymied.
