... I couldn't believe this was actually true so I started typing it into a calculator at which point I realized it was obvious because it's a*b/100 so it doesn't matter which order a and b are because multiplication is commutative omg i can't believe i didn't realize this sooner

I also just learned that if you put a URL in your quote attribution here it does in fact create a link to the URL so that's super nice

Oh! It was a couple months ago, not today, but did you know the Inspector Gadget theme is basically a remix of Hall of the Mountain King? It's kind of hilarious.

Apparently the British town of Bath is named after baths and not the other way around? I always thought the term 'bath' came from the town, but I don't think I was ever thought this, I just assumed. Like Spa. I guess not. Bear in mind, I did not check this fact even now.
