Things I learned lately 16 Apr

• The US has 8 cities with over 5 million people. India has 7. Japan has 3. China has 14.
• Two thirds of all the high speed rail network in existence worldwide is in China, with 37,900 km of high speed rail. 1,700,000,000 passengers in 2019 alone. But it plans to DOUBLE the network's size in the next 15 years. By 2035, every city with more than 500,000 people will be connected by high speed rail.
• Vodka doesn't have to be made from potatoes. It can be made from anything that will ferment. It just needs to be clear and distilled to 190 proof.
• The Eiffel Tower leans away from the sun thanks to the heat of the sun expanding the sun-facing side. On a very warm and sunny day, it can lean up to 6 inches (15 centimeters).
• When bananas rot they secrete stuff that makes other fruit including bananas nearby rot faster. That's bananas.
