"One new thing I've learned today..." (Daily sharing thread!)
"Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning." — William Arthur Ward
Think of your brain as a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger and more flexible it becomes. Learning something new is the ultimate mental workout. It keeps your mind sharp and actually builds new neural pathways, paving the way for fresh ideas and perspectives. The benefits of actively learning one new thing each day go on and on. And with the vastness of the internet at our fingertips, there's really no excuse not to!
Recently, I've been challenging myself to find new information every day so that by the time I go to bed, I can say I learned something. I usually share this tidbit with my partner, both to solidify the knowledge in my head and to give them something new!
And I thought it would be a great idea to expand the knowledge pool and challenge our community:
Every day, learn something new and share it here in this thread. It doesn't have to be a groundbreaking scientific discovery, merely a factoid, a wellness tip, a song, life lesson, or a revelation about yourself!

Today I learnt that 'needed' is actually a real word
@Tinywhisper11 Yes it is, I feel there is a Tiny story behind that comment too!
Today I learned life to be good, you may need to face anything.
Today I learned that I need to stretch more and make it a priority as part of my daily self-care ritual.
Today I learned the name of a neighbor who has been living down the street the past many years because we crossed paths on an evening walk!
Today I learned how to put the side plate back on my chainsaw correctly, without fiddling with it for a few minutes like I had to do every time before.
@slowdecline48 Read the Manual or google it lol 🤣 good thing is now you can come and fix our chainsaw!
@MistyMagic Welllll I had to fiddle with it again today...then my guy worked on it for a bit. We believe the spring in the brake system is causing problems.

Today I learned to believe that just because the candles light are out for now, doesn't mean it will never be able to light again. Just like me

I learnt today that there used to be a punctuation mark for rhetorical questions. It was called the percontation point and it is a question mark facing in the opposite direction.
I also learnt today that there is a type of mead that is made using caramelised honey, and it is called bochet.
I also learnt there is a creature called a pink fairy armadillo, and it is as cute as it's name suggests.
