TIL in 2012 in Cebu, Philippines, after a 6.9 earthquake struck the city, someone shouted while finding their daughter whose name is “Chona Mae”. This was misheard as “Tsunami” and eventually caused a mass panic.

TIL of the Mad Gasser of Mattoon – an individual dressed in black that was believed to be responsible for gas attacks in Mattoon, Illinois during the 1940s. Despite claims and eye witnesses many have written it off as a mass hysteria event or one caused by the inhalation of pollutants/substances.

TIL A brown dwarf star is 13 to 80 times the size of Jupiter but doesn’t have enough mass to fuse hydrogen (they can fuse deuterium and massive ones can fuse lithium). Because of the lack of energy some brown dwarfs put out little to no light and can have a surface temperature as low as -23C (-10F).

TIL Chicory has been a historic substitute for coffee. Frederick the Great banned coffee in Prussia which led to the mass production of chicory by 1795 and the chicory drinks were common in Napoleonic France. Chicory drinks also became popular in Confederate states because of the Union blockade.

TIL Sea level is dropping around Greenland due to Greenland ice sheet is melting, and therefore there is less mass. Less mass, means less gravity pulling the ocean water toward the coast, and the water level drops.
