Today I learned that a person can blow bubbles using the fluoride from the dentist if there is enough on their teeth.

Today I learned that Greevil's Japanese name translates to Deathgold. That's such an awesome sounding name.

Today, I learned that if I want my preferred bacon or lettuce, I actually have to go to the supermarket to buy those two things before my mother goes out to do her grocery shopping. She picks ice berg lettuce of all things, and middle rasher bacon rather than the long strips with a bit of fat on them. In the case of the former, I'd rather graze out in a paddock with a herd of cattle and eat what they don't touch (serrated tussock, for example), because that ice berg lettuce is worse than a fucking weed. Maybe if I were a rabbit and got high off the leaves I'd sing a different tune, but if I had my way, the ships that carried it here would be partying with the Titanic before they even reached our shores. In the case of the latter, there's no flavour whatsoever, because they come packed without the fat! Also regarding bacon, I learned that if I want it cooked right, I have to cook it myself. I like it crispy to the point where it shrinks and curls. <3
I'm glad I'm not a president, or greengrocers and farmers would probably protest and send me care packages full of ice berg lettuce if they read this. |

Today I learned that it's still possible to use a Lugia with Psycho Boost from Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness in online battles. I'm legitimately surprised Smogon doesn't have a set for it with Pyscho Boost considering this.

Today I learned that if a person cooks seafood for too long it becomes rubbery.
I didn't learn this firsthand, but by asking cooking questions of one of my grandmothers. -------------------- Avatar by Cycloneblaze at Cycloneshop II Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/eevee64 Banner by http://gpx.plus/user/Baymax |

Today I learned that having a headache and watching a YouTuber play LSD Dream Simulator is something you should never, ever do. Seriously. Don't try it.

TIL that I never, ever, should go to the public room in my house, without thinking I can do something without being disturbed by two boys X'D They.. Well.. Tickled me and stuff. And made jokes. And followed me to my appartment when I tried to jokingly run away XD And then broke in and started to throw with bottles and bottlecaps
I live in a flat btw. Everyone has his/her own appartment, but there is a public room, accessible for everyone. -------------------- |

Talking about karma, today I learned you shouldn't make up a cold as an excuse to not go out with friends, cause you're gonna actually catch one the day after.

i wanted to try my hand at making a trinket (i dabble in pixel art, but i am inept) and TIL how to finally use photoshops layers that darken, lighten, etc
and it looks p great imo im super pleased with it i hope they open the submissions soon wink -------------------- The Pinkan Trainer Her pokemon eat absolutely nothing but Pinkan Berries. They bleed pink. They spit pink. And they cry pink. this is the tale of the first shiny i've ever seen in the wild i had recently gotten x, hadnt played any gen since soulsilver so i had no idea wtf any pokemon were, and id used pokebank to transfer all my pokemon to x. remember in the lake of rage, that one shiny everyone has, gyarados? he was a bit underleveled and i wanted to use him for once so i went to his area level to do some POWER GRINDIN'. now, since i'd never ever sent out a shiny in any game ever idfk what the shiny noise sounds like, so i send gyarados out and my sister called my name so i glanced up at her and registered a BRING BRING in the back of my head while she's telling me something, after she's done i look at my ds and immediately think "what an ugly pokemon". it is a blue pawniard. i had never seen a pawniard. i frickin blast it off the face of the earth and run around in the grass again to fight some more pokemons, next battle gyarados goes BRING and im like wait werent there two brings, huh MUST HAVE BEEN 2 DISTRACTED BY SISTER. so i frick it up and run around some more, and eventually run into another pawniard it is red. there is one BRING. i connect the dots. my bitter old heart cant take anymore and shrivels up and to this day i have never been able to feel love. |

Today I learned about the velvet worm and how it hunts spitting out a type of glue that hardens almost instantly to trap their prey. Apparently, one species of velvet worm actually live in packs that have a social hierarchy with a dominant female that establishes her dominance with aggression. Pretty awesome!

Today I learned that according to something I read on the "quick question, quick answer" thread, about every 100 interactions counts as a level on the Pokewalker. I always thought it was a completely random amount of interactions that caused the Pokemon in there to level up.
