just little things that my brain picks up (and quickly forgets) each and every day
i has originally planned to be super efficient today … i was going to have this all written and posted by lunchtime! however, i’m not good at efficient – so, we’re back to racing against the clock! 😒
that said, i’m sooooo impressed with today’s fact … it has legit blown my mind 😵 like, what the actual?!

#tdil that nasa is currently hiring a new ‘planetary protection officer’ 😎 … i’m sorry, but that is the coolest job title ever. Continue reading “today i learned – thurs 3rd august 2017”
have you ever just looked at someone fairly useless and just thought “how do you even manage to life?!” 😳
in the animal kingdom, i guess the equivalent entity to this would be the jellyfish … like, they have no bones, no heart and no brain … how are they even a thing?! 🤔 well:
#tdil how jellyfish are even alive 🐙 … i also learned that they aren’t even fish!? 🐠 (there isn’t a jellyfish emoji … so octopus will have to do 💁🏼) Continue reading “today i learned – weds 2nd aug 2017”
right, i’m going to get straight into it … the apocalypse is coming and it’s all facebook’s fault 😭 i know that we’ve had lots of possible apocalypses on this blog … but this one is legit 🤙🏻

have you ever been having a whale of a time when suddenly your neck or back decide to become mad painful? 😣

#tdil what knots in muscles actually are 🤙🏻 … turns out that they aren’t actually knots 🙃 Continue reading “today i learned – sun 30th july 2017”
despite the fact that i’ve spent all day with mad racing cars 🏎 … today’s fact is going to be about presidents and planes ✈️ (that should be an album).
originally, I’d wanted to get another shark week fact in there … but i didn’t learn anything fun about them today 😭
#tdil that air force one isn’t actually one plane … it’s any air force plane that the president is on 🤙🏻 Continue reading “today i learned – sat 29th july 2017”
i don’t feel like i’ve been giving the blog enough time recently 😕 it’s been a super busy week, so all of these facts have been a little rushed 😒 #sozza.

so, it’s no secret that the government is all about cutting emissions at the moment … possibly because it’s trendy or possibly because they just hate cars #becauseboring 😒
