I couldn't find this tread elsewhere, but if it already exists, any mod please lock this one.

The idea is posting something you've learned in the course of the day. Gaming related or not.

I'll start: completing a daily challenge in Reach after the time limit is up, still counts as long as the game started before the time limit. Very happy about that, by the way.

That you should follow the blue arrows at Brixworth country park otherwise you end up walking 7 miles instead of 2.

I've learned some Kurt Vonnegut quotes (here's two that I liked):
"That is my principal objection to life, I think: It's too easy, when alive, to make perfectly horrible mistakes."
"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.'"
Use one of the quotes from that thread

I learned that there is so much butter involved in making croissants and pain au chocolats and the like.

I learned that staying up late several days in a row while you also sleep lightly, makes you tired during the day. One would've thought this was something I'd learnt a long time ago, seeing as I'm 34, but no. And I'm likely to forget again. That raises the question whether I've actually learned anything, but that is a different matter.
