Reply to TIL that the "Lost City of Atlantis" was invented by the philosopher Plato, as a fake enemy for Athens that lost favour of the gods and was sunk in to the sea. by PDRugby

Reply to TIL about foreign accent syndrome. This is a very rare (~100 cases worldwide) but real medical condition where people abruptly begin speaking in a foreign accent following head trauma like a bad migraine, accident, or stroke. by veety
My middle school spanish teacher had this after a car accidient. She would have long time periods of only being able to speak in spanish, but could SING in English. Was super bizarre and we thought she was just a nutjob.
