Reply to comment by Shas_Erra in TIL Poltergeist, which came out in 1982, was rated PG. This is despite not just the movie fitting perfectly into the horror genre, but also many adult themes including the smoking of marijuana and a deep dive into the occult. by duganaok

I remember watching Robocop when I was just 10. That was a wild ride.

Reply to comment by radio_allah in TIL The city of Verona, Italy, where Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is set, receives thousands of letters addressed to Juliet every Valentine's Day. The letters are answered by a team of volunteers known as the "Juliet Club." by basictoknow

Well, at least Verona can milk it. I've been there, and there's a ton of people visiting the balcony were it all "supposedly happened" every day.

Reply to TIL the first known résumé was written by Leonardo da Vinci, when applying to be a military engineer for the Duke of Milan. It's mainly just a list of his designs for siege weapons (including trebuchets). He briefly mentions his art: "In painting, I can do everything possible." He got the job. by Pfeffer_Prinz

Imagine being a Joe Schmoe trying to find a job in a tough market, only to find out Leonardo da Vinci also applied for it.

Reply to TIL that most non-human primate infants actively use their hands to help themselves out of the birth canal. Human infants do not, but their grip strength is much higher during the hours immediately after they are born. by afeeney

I was genuinely surprised when my newborn daughter gripped my finger for the first time. It was a really strong grip. And it’s funny because they won’t let go, and it’s not that easy to make them let go. They only learn to let go off objects in the first 3-4 months.

Same with my wife. She never had any weird cravings and I was disappointed I didn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to buy some weird shit to eat or something.
