Something that totally shocked you learning it or realizing it. I might be using the wrong wording here, but ill give you my example:

In Ocarina of Time, we all know the Triforce was cut, or otherwise not something you get in the game, save for in the cutscenes towards the end. BUT - did you know you can actually go find it and see it in the game?

If you have a Gameshark, turn on the levitation code. Go go Zeldas Cortyard in the room where she is, and fly over the wall. When you fall, you'll land in a pool of invisible water, and underneath the center of the room with the flowers, look down - there it is. Can't interact with it, but you can see it, and i choose to believe putting it in that exact spot was intentional for lore reasons.

What do you got?

In Warhammer 40k, vehicles such as the Land Raider or the Land Speeder are not named that because they're land vehicles. No, they're named that because they were invented by Arkhan Land, the techpriest who designed them.

And the Emperor's real name is Jimmy Space.

Eyyy that's like Thomas Crapper who invented the modern toilet. Or was instrumental in it's invention anyway.

Not even invented but he allegedly found the plans. Inventing things is a tech heresy, so while less dogmatic tech priests do invent things sometimes they always use this excuse so maybe Land did it too. Except Belisarius Cawl, he don't give a fuck but even he have to frequently engage in extreme theological discussions (extreme because they often ends in shooting) to justify himself.

Also all that is apparently not entirely canon, despite being so entrenched it is in every bit of relevant lore, because Mechanicus Codex said it's not that bad, inventing things is deemed acceptable in at least one major forge world, Ryza.

Oh well i guess that is some deep lore lol.
