deeply debating whether or not to make a twitter thread solely devoted to weird/interesting facts i learn while going on intense wikipedia walks
for example: did you know that in the lord& #39;s prayer, the greek word usually translated as "daily" in "our daily bread" a) is found literally nowhere else in ancient writings, and b) doesn& #39;t even mean "daily", but rather "supersubstantial" or "necessary for existence"? now you do!
DID YOU KNOW that there were only ~50 cases of guinea worm disease last year and that it& #39;ll likely be the first parasitic disease to be globally eradicated, mostly due to clean water efforts? now you do! (also don& #39;t look it up if you& #39;re squicked out by parasites/bugs)
You can follow @mistborns.
Tip: mention @twtextapp on a Twitter thread with the keyword “unroll” to get a link to it.
