It used to be common knowledge to rub lemons on your nipples to stop leprechauns from stealing your dingaling but now I search for it and not a single result.
Almost everything I learned in school has changed/been found incorrect, outside of English and Math (and even a little bit of English as language evolves over time). From history finding new lore, to scientific discoveries being made/nullified that change our understanding of things.
It's actually kind of amazing how far we've been able to go while working on incorrect assessments of things.
at least the Gulf of Mexico is still where I left it ... right?
The more you learn about memory the more you realise that doing this is totally justified.
I remember when we used to eat 4 spiders a year. I just checked. Now the number has gone up to 8 before getting debunked again.
Doubles every year. 📈
We got a rice and chessboard problem.
The good news is that as the climate warms, they'll get bigger and that means we're less likely to swallow them without choking.
and you'd think that after many years there wouldn't be so many suicidal spiders anymore
Spiders georg been getting fat.
Nelson Mandela is alive again, but he's scheduled to die next week
Ever Google what year it is?
No, Google is full of BS AI now and I ask the one true AI, ChatGPT.
Are mitochondria still the powerhouse of the cell?
Me waiting for when the next time the Mandela Effect kicks in so I can see what interesting (aka: fucked up) shit the next parallel universe has.
Welcome to the parallel universe where the blobfish doesn't actually look like that when it's alive, it just gets swollen after it's killed and taken to the surface because of the pressure difference
Wait is it Willim Penn or Sean Penn who founded Pennsylvania? I'm pretty sure, but not 100%
You don't have to search but no one will ever know if you do.
Yeah... Keep doing that, a lot, for the next 4 years. And take screenshots.
Honestly, that's a super green flag. I appreciate it a lot when people don't blast some bs they think they have heard from whomever
