Link is to Wikipedia article about the island thought to have been home to the last group of mammoths, which died out about 4,000 years ago.

    I didn’t even know there was a Reddit post. I encountered another fun fact about people who lived at the same time. Looked it up. Found a blog post of 20 crazy examples like that, including the mammoth thing. Thought, “that’s hard to believe.” Looked it up on Wikipedia. I’ll be damned. Shared it here.

    I will ensure all future facts have never been mentioned on Reddit…? (jk but do you hear how you all sound? Jesus.)

      You misunderstood or maybe I wasn’t clear. I had no issue with your post. It was a genuine TIL for me and I found it interesting. I saw the other comment and was just venting that I saw several posts today that linked directly to a Reddit post rather than the original source. Not a fan of that. But your post, solid. Thanks!

        I understood! Sorry, my own defensive post was loosely worded. I never have the patience to figure out the @ thing, but I was referencing the other guy while responding to you.
