Monopoly (the game) suffers from monetary inflation, too.
2022 versions of the game come with 475% more monopoly dollars than the 2008 version (which had 35% more than the original).
And they added $1k and $2k bills in the 2022 version.

Cowboys considered “Cookie,” or the camp cook, the most important person in camp.
Sometimes called “biscuit shooters,” “belly cheaters,” and “bean masters,” camp cooks fed the cowboys three hot meals a day, no matter what. One of the cook’s jobs was to note the North Star each night and turn the tongue of the chuckwagon toward it. This way, the drive would know which way to head out the next morning.

Didn't you mute this territory? Btw even LN devs debunked the "private channel" because they are called "unnanounced" channels instead. they are not private.

Hungarians don’t clink glasses together when drinking beer
This goes back to 1848/1849 and the revolution against the Habsburgs. Some Hungarians were hanged, Austrains celebrated their victory by toasting with clinking glasses. It is said that Hungarians do not clink their glasses as a sign of respect for this event and the lives lost during the revolution.

There is an animal that this theortically immortal. A species of jellyfish called Turritopsis dohrnii has the ability to transform its body into a younger state through a process called transdifferentiation. This means that it can essentially revert back to its polyp stage, which is the juvenile form of a jellyfish, and then grow back into an adult again. This process can be repeated indefinitely.

In the 13th century, China became the first country to introduce fiat currency
But in classic fiat fashion, The Yuan Dynasty printed so much paper money that it quickly lost value, and inflation went wild.
The currency collapsed, and the economy fell apart and China didn't use fiat again for 500 years!
