Today’s TIL is a doozie.
Apparently there are crocodiles native to the U.S. A formerly endangered species of crocs which coexist with alligators in Florida have been downgraded to threatened thanks in part to a nuclear power plant. 🤯
Check it out.

Yesterday I learned that Snoopy isn’t part of the evil mouse empire. And that makes me very happy. Apple TV has licensed the rights to Snoopy TV/movies… For now. But the brand itself has multiple owners, with 20% owned by the Schultz family.
Catchup TIL: I never really paid attention to @flightradar24’s follow feature. Tonight I used it for the first time and it is NICE! Unsure if it’s a premium feature or not, but an excellent #AvGeek tool.
Fascinating!
Today I learned that a pizza with toppings will weigh less than an equivalent cheese pizza. Apparently it is an industry standard to pull back on the amount of cheese when toppings are added. 🤯
I would have assumed that a cheese pizza was the base model or a starting point.
I’m way behind on TMYKs 😭
Today is a simple one. USDA Organic means a lot of things. One that I maybe knew in the back of my mind but didn’t consider until today is that it also means no artificial colors.
Bonus TMYK: Red 3 was recently banned. Of course our European friends must be laughing because they are all banned there.

It’s likely that while dinosaurs roamed the earth, there were still volcanos erupting on the moon. 🤯

New research suggests that volcanoes were still erupting on the moon when dinosaurs roamed Earth. Researchers based their conclusion on an analysis of tiny glass beads brought back from the moon by a Chinese spacecraft. They reported Thursday that moon volcanoes may have persisted until about 120 million years ago, spilling fresh molten lava that cooled to form the lunar surface. That is much more recent than previously thought. An outside scientist says more research is needed to confirm the origin of the beads and the time line.

It is theorized that some moons can have their own moons. They are called subsatellites, or moonmoons. I greatly prefer moonmoon.
