Have you learned something new today for your own good, dear Pandas? In case you haven't, we have your back with a list full of fresh facts from the “Today I Learned” subreddit. Scroll down to get a good brain workout in, and don’t forget to upvote the facts you can’t wait to share with your loved ones.

While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with life and career coach Naama Zusman and career and creativity coach Tineke Tammes, who kindly agreed to explain to us how learning can also be beneficial to our careers.

“Learning something new daily is more than just a career booster; it taps into our human need for growth. We naturally feel more fulfilled and satisfied when we’re evolving, and daily learning keeps us on that path of personal and professional development,” she explains.

“This continual learning also fuels confidence, which is crucial for career development. A habit of daily learning demonstrates to employers and peers that a person is engaged, curious, and committed to growth—qualities highly valued in any field,” Zusman adds.

The benefits of daily learning can be both tangible and intangible, Zusman says. “On one level, it builds a competitive edge by keeping people updated on industry trends, opening doors to new skills, and enhancing problem-solving abilities. This dedication often leads to new opportunities, whether through promotions or the ability to transition into new roles.”

It can additionally help people develop an interdisciplinary mindset, which in work environments is called “new currency.” “As we adapt to a changing world, daily learning cultivates the curiosity and adaptability that make navigating these changes easier and more rewarding,” says Zusman.

However, adults who have their personalities and ways of living concreted in them might find it daunting or challenging to learn something new and allow this new found knowledge to change the way they think, live, or work.

They might also see learning as something that has to be done in a classroom with a teacher who periodically tests their education levels, further scaring them away from expanding their knowledge. The fear of failure can also sometimes prevent adults from trying to improve.

In truth, learning can be much easier than some might imagine and can take place anywhere. It can happen while reading a Wikipedia page, watching a YouTube video on our phone, or opening a book on something for beginners.

"Learning can be small: read a book, watch a TED talk, listen to a podcast, talk to your colleague about something they're interested in, read a magazine. Feed your curiosity in 20-minute bite-size chunks instead!

You can fit these activities easily into your day—when you're on your commute, when waiting in the coffee queue, when normally watching TV—which means that you're MUCH more likely to do them!" Tammes says.

Of course, it’s important to check the credibility of the resources one learns from. Make sure that the author has expertise in their subject matter and that the YouTuber isn’t trying to push viewers into a class that promotes unrealistic or toxic ways of starting a business or gaining passive income. Every person can pretend to be an expert so just be aware of that.

A person doesn’t have to dedicate a lot of time to improving themselves either. “Setting aside just 10-15 minutes each day for a specific skill or topic adds up over time, allowing anyone to make daily learning a sustainable habit.

Probably true of most of the world's biggest museums. They've all got tons of stuff in storage. You hear all the time about them finding stuff they didn't even realize they had, because it was purchased and shoved into storage in an era when 'record keeping' could mean "here's a sales receipt that says 'two mummies and a vase' on it."

you should read up on the Smithsonian. same thing. If you've ever worked in a museum you know that just because it was donated or given or bought by a museum doesnt mean its valuable/needed. Also just because its in a museum doesnt mean its one of a kind either. Museums usually have many examples of the same type of artifact with different variations or quality. Also most large museums are also research centers so they have HUGE catalogs that are used by qualified people to further research into various subjects.

Having worked in storage rooms of two museums I can confirm that all museums have a lot of items that are not on display. The museum-law in Denmark states that cultural-historical museums has an obligation to keep all items that are important for the history of the area they cover. So one of the museums I worked at had a brick from a house that burned down in 1700-something in the town the museum was located in. It was important to the history of the area but it would not be interesting to any guests to see on display -unless the museum were to have an exhibition about the big town fire that started when that house burned down.

Hi, glad you swung by! My name is Austėja, and I’m a writer at Bored Panda. With a degree in English philology, I’m interested in all aspects of language. Being fresh out of university, my mission is to master the art of writing and add my unique touch to every personal story and uplifting article we publish. In my time here, I’ve covered some fun topics such as scrungy cats and pareidolia, as well as more serious ones about mental health and relationship hiccups. When I’m not on my laptop, you’ll probably find me devouring pastries, especially croissants, paired with a soothing cup of tea. Sunsets, the sea, and swimming are some of my favorite things.

Photo Editor Assistant at Bored Panda. In 2023, Evelina graduated from the Photography Technology Studies at the Vilnius College of Technology and Design. Photography caught her eye since high school, so after 4 years of spending her free time with a camera and photographing her friends, she decided to turn her hobby into a job she likes. However, as usually happens after the studies, Evelina felt that she lost herself in photography and decided to take a break on that, but not completely abandon photography itself. Besides photography, Evelina also found another hobby - embroidery. She creates tote bags with her embroidered designs, so as you can understand, she loves arts and crafts. Also, Evelina spent all her 12 years at school with music by her side, which is still one of the most important things in her life.

I'm a Visual Editor for Bored Panda. I’m also an analog collage artist. My love for images and experience in layering goes well with both creating collages by hand and working with digital images as an Editor. When I’m not using my kitchen area as an art studio I also do various experiments making my own cosmetics or brewing kombucha. When I’m not at home you would most definitely find me attending a concert or walking my dog.

Bro (Grand bro?) if you think the downvotes you had were puzzling and bad... It also happened to ME... When I criticized Islam and the mandatory nature of the hijab. Me an ARAB guy BORN under that cult... Who refused to take more in inheritance than my sister because of how unfair that is! I was 14... Me and my big brother both had to argue to my mom that it was unfair until she caved in... (Our mother also relaxed her religious views when she slowly realized she was also indoctrinated as a girl and she is actually a very smart and hardworking successful woman) I Was called a Misogynist and Racist... On this website and others by "progressive" ppl when i critiqued Islam...Make it make sense to me please...Do they stop at the first double speak layer when they hear that Islam = religion of peace? Do they not go deeper to uncover that lie? To see it is as bad as medieval Christianity? I dunno man. It makes no sense at all.

Never feel ashamed of criticizing an evil cult because virtue signallers think that religion = minority and ethnicity and other ignorant s**t like that... If you are called an anti-Semite for criticizing Islam, Judaism or Christianity... Know that it is the virtue signallers who are racist themselves... as they think SOMEHOW my brown skin colour and ethnicity = my religion... Women are being oppressed HEAVILY by Islam... Me a born Muslim man and millions of other men both Muslim and Jewish had their penises mutilated as kids and indoctrinated into that insanity... Yet SOMEHOW it is "bad" to call out that evil? Why? Out of some mistaken compassion for the "minorities"... I have never felt like a minority... So to the virtue signallers: Get off your high horse and treat me and other ppl like human beings... Don't default to the protection of "minorities" aka the inferior pathetic lesser subhuman who DON'T KNOW BETTER... until you support the worst imaginable medieval level cults...

OH MY GOD. The dude's name is literally 'UK Grandad'. Why "looking closer to home ?" USA is NOT the home of 95% of the population. We absolutely get that you have a$$hole trying to monitor abortion, we get it, we REALLY do get it. Could we please, for once, STOP making it about the USA everytime we talk about the sheer, violent (and actual) patriarchy that women and girls (and men!) go trough in the arabo-muslim world. Every time we try to sheer light on abuse, some girl is saying 'yeah but Trump...'. We GET IT, go fix it, I'll support you. We are talking about abject and abusing laws that are not even brought to light by media except....for the right & far right. Sorry about the rant, I'm starting to be seriously annoyed about the constant gaslighting, while so many of my friends were arrested on the basis of not 'respecting' ramadan.

The Amish are open to modern medical care. They all pay into a fund every month. And if you get really sick with something like cancer they'll pay the bill. It's their form of insurance. They can even ride in modern vehicles to go to the hospital if they need to.
