TIL that during WWII, the crew of a Dutch minesweeper avoided the Japanese navy by camouflaging their entire 180-foot ship to look like a tropical island. They covered the decks in jungle foliage, painted the hull to resemble rocks, and only moved at night.

TIL that Nintendo was founded in 1889. This means the video game company existed at the same time as the Ottoman Empire, and before the zipper, the airplane, or sliced bread were invented.

Idea: Increase logged in users with AI partnership

Alright guys what if Reddit increased logged in users with the help of their leverage they have on LLM providers? Either let the LLM users create Reddit users just to be capable of using LLMs (if their leverage is big enough), let’s say to have Reddit searchable in web grounding, or they just give out free 1 month memberships for logged in users. I’m not sure what they actually can achieve but this needs to be evaluated when making these data licensing deals.
