Default TIL or I was Today years old when...
A common thing on social media is the phenomenon of mentioning something you learned about.

It's usually prefaced with TIL (Today I Learned) when speaking of present day or I was Today years old when..., when speaking of something that came to light from the past.

TIL I can't exceed the limit of $369 buying natural food coloring powder from one of the top suppliers. I am learning to be a gyoza (potstickers) chef. I was going make lots of colorful gyoza.

Oh, fiddley foo, this won't do! (Yes I had a weird night last night.)

It became increasingly obvious that it could be be denied no longer...I am smol...(4'11"...I am shorter than my mom now, but not by much...)

TIL That I've turned into one of those people who tells the same stories over and over.

I realised tonight that the story I mentioned was one I told to the same friends, last week - they were all too polite to mention it, but their eyes did glaze over a bit! lol!

I was today years old when I learn my dyslexia and dysgraphia are making it harder to discern the "D" in Walt Disney's signature.

I thought John Hancock was making a statement signing American documents, Walt Disney makes waves!

"I was Today years old when"

Today I learned that this wording hurts my brain.

I didn't make it up nor would I want to.

I found out how easily corruptible TS2 is. Like, seriously! I gotta tiptoe in this game
