I wish there was context to these TIL. This one in particular gets reposted all the time. I don’t understand the rabbit hole somebody finds themselves in to learn about this grade school level fact.

Someone reminded me once that Reddit is an international app meaning what one individual learned in K-12 another learns from reading subs. 🤷🏽‍♀️

That’s fair, but I’d still be curious how many of these TIL are discovered. For instance, I was looking up “your anus” but it got autocorrected to Uranus, which started me reading random facts about planets and stuff.

🤣🤣 I love a good joke this early in the morning. Especially when it is older than I am. Of course I am not sure why you are interested in my anus in particular nor am I not sure why you seem to struggle with a basic google search. Try again.🤣🤣

I am not interested in “your anus”, nor am I confused with the google machine. I am interested in the context in which the peoples are learning these random facts. TIL that gorillas are in a semi permanent state of flatulence. That’s a random fact. Why and how did you come to obtain this knowledge? That is what is interesting.

Clearly I am interested in butts and stuff. So that’s why I know a lot about them.

Unless you were familiar with the semi permanent flatulence state of gorillas. Maybe you should author a TIL post and give this “discussion” as context?
