View more comments The TIL online group is absolutely massive. Founded way back in late 2008, r/todayilearned has since then grown into a thriving community of 26.4 million people. They focus on sharing verified, trustworthy facts and avoid opinions and subjective interpretations. In short, they do their darn best to check every single fact that gets posted on the subreddit. All with the help of the sprawling community, of course. If you want to be a valued member of the community, then you've got to be willing to put in the time and do at least some rudimentary research. What this means is being humble enough to admit when you're wrong and when you don't like the facts. #4 TIL In 1975 Elvis went to see a movie with his gf. He was spotted by fans and they went crazy. His gf walks up and pranks the fans saying to Elvis, "Charlie, you're not using that Elvis bit again are you? Come on, you're not telling these people that you're Elvis again are you? The fans left.

View more comments Not too long ago, I had an in-depth chat about learning things on the internet and choosing our future paths in education with Steven Wooding, a member of the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom. He told Bored Panda that the internet "can be both" a tool for good and evil, for education and distraction. It all depends on how we use this tool. "The internet reflects the world around it, so everything you find in the world will also appear on the internet. I see it as a great shortcut to information (gone are the days of having to visit a library) that can speed up your learning and ability to do things," Steven told Bored Panda earlier. #7 TIL Indonesia put a nation wide stop on manta ray fishing after it was calculated that a single animal is worth an estimated US$1 million over its lifetime in tourism versus its value of $40-$500 when killed Bartek.cieslak Report Final score: 249points POST Mazer Mazer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago It took a good number of environmentalists to help the country get to the place where they would embrace eco-tourism over mass fishing 71 71points reply View more comments #8 TIL Sir Paul McCartney's mother (Mary McCarthy) died when he was just 14 years old.

Joes and Barbie dolls causing the barbies to say phrases like "vengeance is mine" and G.I. Joes to say "The beach is the place for summer." 300 to 500 dolls were modified. StoopitTrader , ErikaWittlieb Report Final score: 246points POST Amsterdude Amsterdude Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago If Barbie says it it's psycho, but if Joe does it it's super cool. Double standards. 98 98points reply View More Replies... View more comments According to Steven if we find ourselves constantly distracted and unable to focus while online, we should set clear boundaries for learning, work, and entertainment. "Set aside specific times for studying and other times for fun," he suggested. Few of us are strangers to burnout. In Steven's view, burnout and apathy ambush us if things get too stressful or too boring. "I believe that burnout awaits us at the two ends of a graph in the shape of an inverted letter 'U.' The graph represents the level of difficulty of what we're doing. If it is too high (e.g., we get too stressed, feel too insecure), we will eventually give up. But the same happens when the difficulty level is too low: when we're doing exactly the same thing over and over again," he told me. #10 TIL Molly Brown survived the Titanic and was rescued by the Carpathia. Aboard the Carpathia, a battered Brown did what she could to help the other survivors, including raising money from the wealthy to help poor passengers. Her acts of heroism earned her the nickname "the Unsinkable Mrs. Brown." SingLikeTinaTurner , Bain News Service Report Final score: 242points POST Jaekry Jaekry Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago I like how she was portrayed in Titanic. It seems to do her justice. She sounded like someone who you could count on. 78 78points reply View More Replies...

To solve the puzzle, readers must determine the correct page order as well the names of both the six murderers and six victims. The mystery has only ever been solved by three people. NJJbadscience , mwra Report Final score: 214points POST Kanuli Kanuli Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Lemme doubt the 3 people. But need this book. 63 63points reply View More Replies... View more comments #12 TIL of Herman Francis Mark, an Austrian scientist and son of a Jew, who chose to flee Austria in 1938. He clandestinely bought platinum wire, worth roughly $50,000, which he bent into coat hangers while his wife knitted covers so that the hangers were able to be taken out of the country.
For a period of time after the rise to power of Hitler/ the Nazis, Jews were allowed to leave Germany, but have to leave their fortune behind. So he was smuggling his money out of country. beerbellybegone Report Final score: 204points POST Squilmo Squilmo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago That's ingenious! 56 56points reply View more comments "My little secret for avoiding apathy is giving myself little challenges, difficulties, or assumptions that I need to stick to during my tasks. This way, I can polish my skills, avoid burnout, and (as a bonus side effect) get better results over time. Try to be conscious of 'the burnout curve'-and adjust your life's challenges so that they always hit somewhere near the top of the curve," Steven said. The expert opened up about how we should pick our path for college and university if we're feeling unable to choose. In his opinion, we should listen to our hearts. "Don't choose based on things like the job you could get, as you'll always be wishing you were doing the thing that really interests you," he said. "If you have no idea, ask yourself what subject at school did you enjoy most? Or what other activity do you find yourself doing? Can that be a starting point as to what to study at university?" #13 TIL Dr. Charles R. Drew, an African American, developed improved techniques for blood storage, which saved thousands of Allied forces' lives during WWII. In 1942, however, he resigned as director of the first American Red Cross Blood Bank because of their exclusion of African-Americans' blood. New_Particular7075 Report Final score: 202points POST Michelle M Michelle M Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago People were pretty dumb back then.

Predators will give up if you seem too difficult to catch (unlike Hollywood depictions). But wild dogs, once they've decided you're food, not much can change their mind. They are terrifying hunters. Definitely an animal that I wouldn't want to meet when I'm lost. 65 65points reply View More Replies...

View more comments The TIL online group is absolutely massive. Founded way back in late 2008, r/todayilearned has since then grown into a thriving community of 26.4 million people. They focus on sharing verified, trustworthy facts and avoid opinions and subjective interpretations. In short, they do their darn best to check every single fact that gets posted on the subreddit. All with the help of the sprawling community, of course. If you want to be a valued member of the community, then you've got to be willing to put in the time and do at least some rudimentary research. What this means is being humble enough to admit when you're wrong and when you don't like the facts. #4 TIL In 1975 Elvis went to see a movie with his gf. He was spotted by fans and they went crazy. His gf walks up and pranks the fans saying to Elvis, "Charlie, you're not using that Elvis bit again are you? Come on, you're not telling these people that you're Elvis again are you? The fans left.

View more comments Not too long ago, I had an in-depth chat about learning things on the internet and choosing our future paths in education with Steven Wooding, a member of the Institute of Physics in the United Kingdom. He told Bored Panda that the internet "can be both" a tool for good and evil, for education and distraction. It all depends on how we use this tool. "The internet reflects the world around it, so everything you find in the world will also appear on the internet. I see it as a great shortcut to information (gone are the days of having to visit a library) that can speed up your learning and ability to do things," Steven told Bored Panda earlier. #7 TIL Indonesia put a nation wide stop on manta ray fishing after it was calculated that a single animal is worth an estimated US$1 million over its lifetime in tourism versus its value of $40-$500 when killed Bartek.cieslak Report Final score: 249points POST Mazer Mazer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago It took a good number of environmentalists to help the country get to the place where they would embrace eco-tourism over mass fishing 71 71points reply View more comments #8 TIL Sir Paul McCartney's mother (Mary McCarthy) died when he was just 14 years old.

Joes and Barbie dolls causing the barbies to say phrases like "vengeance is mine" and G.I. Joes to say "The beach is the place for summer." 300 to 500 dolls were modified. StoopitTrader , ErikaWittlieb Report Final score: 246points POST Amsterdude Amsterdude Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago If Barbie says it it's psycho, but if Joe does it it's super cool. Double standards. 98 98points reply View More Replies... View more comments According to Steven if we find ourselves constantly distracted and unable to focus while online, we should set clear boundaries for learning, work, and entertainment. "Set aside specific times for studying and other times for fun," he suggested. Few of us are strangers to burnout. In Steven's view, burnout and apathy ambush us if things get too stressful or too boring. "I believe that burnout awaits us at the two ends of a graph in the shape of an inverted letter 'U.' The graph represents the level of difficulty of what we're doing. If it is too high (e.g., we get too stressed, feel too insecure), we will eventually give up. But the same happens when the difficulty level is too low: when we're doing exactly the same thing over and over again," he told me. #10 TIL Molly Brown survived the Titanic and was rescued by the Carpathia. Aboard the Carpathia, a battered Brown did what she could to help the other survivors, including raising money from the wealthy to help poor passengers. Her acts of heroism earned her the nickname "the Unsinkable Mrs. Brown."

He clandestinely bought platinum wire, worth roughly $50,000, which he bent into coat hangers while his wife knitted covers so that the hangers were able to be taken out of the country.
For a period of time after the rise to power of Hitler/ the Nazis, Jews were allowed to leave Germany, but have to leave their fortune behind. So he was smuggling his money out of country. beerbellybegone Report Final score: 204points POST Squilmo Squilmo Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago That's ingenious! 56 56points reply View more comments "My little secret for avoiding apathy is giving myself little challenges, difficulties, or assumptions that I need to stick to during my tasks. This way, I can polish my skills, avoid burnout, and (as a bonus side effect) get better results over time. Try to be conscious of 'the burnout curve'-and adjust your life's challenges so that they always hit somewhere near the top of the curve," Steven said. The expert opened up about how we should pick our path for college and university if we're feeling unable to choose. In his opinion, we should listen to our hearts. "Don't choose based on things like the job you could get, as you'll always be wishing you were doing the thing that really interests you," he said. "If you have no idea, ask yourself what subject at school did you enjoy most? Or what other activity do you find yourself doing? Can that be a starting point as to what to study at university?" #13 TIL Dr. Charles R. Drew, an African American, developed improved techniques for blood storage, which saved thousands of Allied forces' lives during WWII. In 1942, however, he resigned as director of the first American Red Cross Blood Bank because of their exclusion of African-Americans' blood.
