the more you know

A reference to NBC public service announcements which would feature celebrities reciting a random (usually touching) fact, followed by the statement, "The More You Know."

Thus, a person may say this after reciting something that is not necessarily useful to the listener. It may also indicate that the user does not expect a response from the listener.

Often rendered like a tag, e.g. #themoreyouknow.

Phil: Sup dude?
Bryan: chilling.
Bryan: brb, gotta poop
Bryan: The more you know.
Phil: ...
