Today I learned...

-What catgut is in the reference to musical instruments (cello and violin), not that I didn’t have an idea beforehand, but I received some clarity today.

- Two year olds are vastly more clever than people give them credit for.

-What it feels like to actually feel “good” again, not sick and sore

Also @LightSide-Lucree swerve is ace, although that cool feeling in your mouth is both weird and yet refreshing all at the same time

Today I learned that sometimes I just want to be a cute boy with a pretty hair bow.

Today I learned what a gradient is in calculus, and furthermore, what a directional derivative is and how it relates to the gradient. Hopefully I’ll be able to apply what I learned today in tomorrow’s exam... Either way, thanks, Khan Academy! And no thanks to my physics class that’s using multi-variable calculus concepts despite not having multi-variable calculus as a prerequisite. /end rant

Today, I learned that dart frogs aren't naturally poisonous -- they become toxic from consuming plants and insects in their native environment in the rainforest. Bred in captivity, they're completely harmless. And a captured dart frog will actually eventually lose its toxicity over time after being fed a different diet. Thought that was pretty wild.

Today I learnt that power cuts suuuuuck. And so does the aftermath. Soooo many house alarms still going off in the neighbourhood. Going to end up with a headache if this keeps up.

Vultures don't only spread their wings out to get warmth from the sun, but to kill bacteria :o

Today I learned/realized that I am way better at nonfiction writing (which I dislike writing) than I am at fiction writing (which I adore writing).

Today I learned about a new Dragon Quest game coming to the Switch. It looks amazing, and I'm hype for it.

Today I learned that, stocks can be both painfully simple yet complicated at the same time. Far too many people prefer the high-risk, high-reward type of investments, which is what gives ‘playing with stocks’ a bad reputation apparently.

Today I learned that I suck more at math than I thought...

Today I learned that someone did detailed, painterly art... of D&D monster babies.
