What did you learn today?

A thread to mention new things, or new facts that you learned today!

To get started, I learned about the upcoming super eclipse today.

I've learned that eye protection is only required for solar eclipses, not lunar ones from the "everything and nothing" thread.

I learned how to put in synthetic dreads in the hair:)

I have learned that some people wash their hair with baking soda instead of shampoo :P

I learned that some people consider there to be 9 phases of the moon instead of 8, the 9th one being the Dark Moon, which is considered separate from the New Moon.

I feel I can detect pedos ,they have similar mindsets....a kind of pathological childish ....


I feel they are far more than we expected.

I learned I had a new friend Sam

I learned I could check my mailbox without opening it up

"Syncquel" for a movie continuation that's neither a prequel or sequel but takes place at the same time.

The history of tipping, about how it originated in Europe by aristocrats that just wanted to show off as one of the reasons for doing it. Americans took this ridiculous tradition with them from Europe and at first most Americans considered it undemocratic and tried to fight against this, but of course to no avail. I've always been against tipping because it never made any sense to me, one of the reasons is because it's stupid that one has to pay twice for a service, if the boss would just pay their employees this wouldn't be too much of an issue. I understand that's just simplifying it but the whole thing is ridiculous. And what's funny is that in Europe tipping isn't too much of a serious thing, or even expected compared to the U.S. though it originated there.

Only about six or seven states in America pay their tipped workers the standard state minimum wage. Some info on service employees:

Wow............ I learned that people don't or don't always (?) get pregnant after sex.. they need to have sex often to get pregnant.. I mean those who are able to get pregnant, not those who for different reasons have issues getting pregnant.. So... if sex were made for procreation only, why would God not just give the women a baby after one-time sex...? Why do people have to do it many times to get pregnant?

It depends on how fertile a person is because there's some people I know that gotten pregnant after having sex once. It also has something to do when a woman is ovulating and the duration of their luteal phase or something.

I found mold that is asexual! It's called "Aspergillus Oryzae". I didn't know that mold had any sexual orientation !

That's what I learned today so far..

Another thing is that asexual reproduction and 'asexual' sexual orientation are two different things.
Asexual reproduction is when a species reproduces with one organism instead of two.

Ok.

I learned that there is deodorant for genitals. Intimate deodorant spray.. (for men and women).

Ugh, that's gross!

Yeah there is, y'know sexuals have to add more to it since they have no problem putting their faces close to them...I thought soap, water, and lotion was enough?

They electric chair still exists in America wow........

And lethal injection in some states.

Apparently either my RSS feed or this forum got secretly updated and now submits a topic as a new RSS entry whenever it gets bumped.

If only it also worked for members-only boards, because without that it's still less-effective then just viewing the board itself.

I think this might be important.

After witnessing lobotomized idiots froth at the mouth for their super cutting edge opinion that we should "legalize prostitution" I went on an anti-prostitution kick on google.

Found someone reccomend this person, http://melindatankardreist.com/

I'm getting good first-impressions, "Melinda Tankard Reist is at the forefront of helping…educate the public on the link between pornography and violence"


"She is best known for her work addressing sexualisation, objectification, harms of pornography, sexual exploitation, trafficking and violence against women."

If we can dig up more of this work that has been done by other people. I wonder if it would be effective to print out some of their work and post it around campus.
