Description: Chapter 9 - First Guided exercise on Writing Ansible Content Collections - Step 5.2 enters the following into a jinja template:

This is the system {{ ansible_facts['hostname'] }}.
Today's date is: {{ ansible_facts['date_time']['date'] }}.

But - the message of the day would show the date from the last time the playbook ran and not show the current date unless this playbook were scheduled to run every night at midnight.  It might suggest to people the wrong message about jinja templates - that the variables stay variables in the file transferred to the managed hosts. This same template was removed from the RH294 materials for that reason.
