Things I Have Learned Today
-
@WhiskeySandwich new to me
-
Just learned this today on Reddit
“Caveat emptor” - Latin for “let the buyer beware.”
Context it was used in: Someone giving someone else advice on something though they didn’t have the most experience in.
-
Learned this month or 2 back but didn’t know about this thread. But Reno Nevada is technically more west coast(further west) than Los Angeles on a map. Ive lived in California for 18yrs, been to LA a lot and Reno few times that blew my mind.
-
I had no idea what birds get up to when they’re not flying around or decorating cars, or that this was the subject of academic research. I promise I didn’t go looking for this - it was being plugged on LinkedIn by an institution I attended!
“His thoughts were red thoughts and his teeth were white.“

Today I learned it is not tomorrow, which i thought it was when i woke up today thanks to my schedule this week. Don't you hate when you think tomorrow's friday, but it's not yet thursday? devastating.
-
@ARNC interesting, i guess this is why people birdwatch?
-
@goosehd a work colleague of mine has a list of academic qualifications a mile long but his doctoral thesis was on Gait Analysis of Chickens.
lifelong dedication to the subject ever since lol. -
@Stringthing75 I’m just imagining the conversation if your guy and one of the authors of the paper met at a party:
A: So, what do you do for a living?
B: I watch birds walk. And you?
A: Pretty much the same - just change one letter …“His thoughts were red thoughts and his teeth were white.“
