For sharing interesting thing you learned recently!
TIL - Downtown Detroit has 24/7 guards dedicated to public safety
Saw a night guard in downtown Detroit and asked what time his shift ends and he said his shift ends at 6 PM but they have somebody on patrol 24/7
Inner Harbor has guards out until 9 PM so I thought it’d be around the same but I guess it’s more dangerous here

Today I learned that Adrienne’s definition of “completionist” is way different than mine.
Hers: finish todo list
Mine: collect all the things once you get started
For me, NFT’s, albums, side projects

TIL: wombats twerk predators to death with their super strong butts
TIL that 8 countries in west Africa all share one central bank
TIL Camels like beer
TIL that certain sea urchins naturally put shells, rocks, or even tiny hats on their heads! This behavior serves as protection and camouflage, helping them blend into their environment and avoid predators. In some aquariums, people have even given them little hats to wear, and the urchins happily pick them up, just like they would with natural objects.

TIL about Cunningham’s Law, which states that when something can go wrong, it will
Where there's a will there's a way. In an attempt to curb publisher's from flooding the NES with sub par games, Nintendo implemented restrictions by capping the amount of games a publisher could release for the console per year at 10 titles.
Konami got around this by starting a shell company, splitting their output and distributing titles between the two, effectively bypassing Nintendo's restriction.
The consensus was that since Konami was a quality publisher at the time, Nintendo turned the other cheek
