‘Today I Learned’: Intriguing Things People Didn’t Learn At School, But Found On The Net

“今天我學到了”板塊:人們在網(wǎng)上發(fā)現(xiàn)的有趣的事,它們不是在學校里學到的

Life’s a never-ending lesson in the best way imaginable. If you’re even slightly curious about the world and have an open mind, you can quite literally learn something new every single day. And I don’t know about you, dear Pandas, but I’m on a roll and I don’t plan to stop my worldly education any time soon.

生活是一節(jié)永無止盡的課。如果你對這個世界有一點好奇,并且持開放的心態(tài),你每天都可以學到新東西。親愛的熊貓們,我不知道你們是怎么想的,但我正順勢而上,我不打算很快停止我的世俗教育。

Probably the best place to learn something new is the ‘Today I Learned’ subreddit that boasts 25.1 million members and has been enlightening netizens with interesting tidbits of trivia ever since it was founded in the ancient year of 2008. We’re huge fans of the TIL community and we’ve written about them in so much depth, you could stack our articles up to the Moon and back… probably. You’ll find Bored Panda's most recent articles about them right here.

TIL of Adolfo Kaminsky, a 18 year-old French forger who faked IDs for Jews during WWII. He once worked for 3 days straight to make papers for 300 children until he passed out. He kept his work a secret - his own daughter only learned the details while writing a book about him.
