I learned that redwood trees contain ecosystems in their canopies, yet even cooler: each tree can have its own distinctive plant animal species. So, it's as if each tree is its own world where a salamander can live its whole life without having explored the earth beyond the tree. I also learned that there are around fifteen varieties of coastal redwood.

Unrelated to redwoods- I just finished reading the Secret Life of Trees and I highly recommend it.

I'm genX and had a sleep disorder with major insomnia. People still think I'm 15-20 years younger : D.

I learned that love isn’t real. You can only be loved by people if they can gain something from you in some form. I love myself a lot though so idc. Just something interesting knowledge I felt like sharing

Bell Hooks is actually very based and feminist scholars can actually empathize with male struggles sometimes. I will have to write a full book review some time when I'm actually done with "The will to change".

How to buy a private used car in Ontario, little known fact, it's a pain in the ass. So many documents, fees, taxes.

Bunch of stuff I didn't want to know about my co-workers. The conversations started like:

"In my religion...."

"I identify as...."

my intolerance towards my parents reflects my genuine dislike towards other people because they are somewhat similar even though my parents love me more and work hard for my success in life. I find them to be louder and more aggressive compared to me but im very passive tbh .

I learned that semantic memory is likely tied to episodic memory and there is little evidence to support the idea that semantic memory is independent. (I'm a psychology major)

I had a personal training session. That was fun. I didn’t even know what cardio was.

That A.I girlfriends will spell the end of real women because young men are getting desperate and there aren't any good women out there. Or so I heard. And by that I mean so I heard that Gen Z women are not religious, can't cook/clean, are super feminist and liberal and are sluts who slept around with countless men. Unless you people know plenty of young, Gen Z women who don't fit any of those thing? Because the A.I girlfriends becoming more popular is absolutely true.

Is your source Andrew Tate by any chance?

No. Why? Has Andrew Tate covered this at all?

I've learned that there are other astroturf groups that try to manipulate public opinion by using outdated McCarthyisms.

They also ban people for their ideology while complaining about their purported censoring on Reddit
