About

TodayIFoundOut.com is a site founded on the precept that it is good to learn something new every day. It was inspired (in 2009) by the wonderful sub-reddit "Today I Learned". At the time, with a few exceptions, there seemed a decided lack of "interesting fact" style websites out there where the facts presented were well researched and provided all the interesting little details on a given topic. As such, TodayIFoundOut was launched on 1/1/2010 and has since grown dramatically, now viewed by approximately 3 million people every month, featuring near daily (except for weekends) extremely well researched "interesting fact" articles from various well credentialed authors.

Devil Facial Tumor Disease


A big thanks to Harry's for choosing to sponsor science content and allowing me to make a donation to Tasmanian Devil DFTD vaccine research. Consider picking up an awesome Razor. Several of my friends have asked me if it was worth it, and I said yes. Every single one came back to me and agreed after the fact. http://www.harrys.com/  Promo code: SMARTER


Consider donating to research that could save the Tasmanian Devil.

Earl D Yates Thanks Destin! While I hope that these Scientists are able to find a way to stop the spread of this disease, there are some far reaching implications. This is the first time that I've ever heard of a cancer that is contagious. If a strain of cancer can become communicable among Tasmanian Devils, there is a possibility that some strain of cancer could mutate and become contagious between humans. So, helping to find a cure for these rare critters may in turn, help to prevent a similar outbreak among the human species.

Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.

The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO!


If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here:

i❤computers Already my fav epi!!! I say that cause POVs were a big thing among the maker community. Heck, we even added them to the spoke of our bikes (www.ladyada.net/make/spokepov). Seeing that moving average visualized and graphed and applying a POV video effect on that high-speed footage finally brought to light the illusion makers were exploiting all these years :D
