It's funny how things from your childhood sneak up on you. Yesterday I realized, out of the blue, that the wave of concern about "latchkey kids" in the late 80s and early 90s was actually conservative anti-feminist rhetoric. "If those drat women would just stay in the kitchen where they belong instead of getting jobs, these kids wouldn't be home alone."

It's even worse because conservative governments wanted women to work to double the available pool of workers and keep wages down. They then did this to make sure they felt like poo poo for it.

I just realized how much farther east South America is, relative to North America. Blew my mind to find out that Chile, despite being on the Pacific Ocean is farther east than Florida.


There is also basically nothing but ocean between Antarctica and Iceland.

Two of the same types of cheese that both starred in Community is too confusing.

The traditional baked bean bomb is a can in the fire and will leave bean holes in your tent if it's too close when it goes off. Adding a can to water, even if it still did go bang, it's daft as it would suppress the explosion.

Also, the american slang term "stroking out" means "to suffer the effects of a stroke" and not "masturbation." This realisation has made reading the Trump threads much less horrifying.

Olivia Coleman was in an episode of the UK Office.

Rewatching old shows and seeing people who have since become famous is fairly common in Britain, but I did not see that one coming.

You can look at high school year books of someone already famous and work out exactly who will make it big in the UK.

Vidiot from UHF came well before Seinfeld and had resulted in high profile Seinfeld cast. Either talent finds talent or nepotism rules supreme.

So you know the joke "Why did the chicken cross the road?" That extremely well known joke that we've all been hearing since we could understand what a joke is? The punchline isn't just about the simple motivations driving a chicken to do what it does. The other side is the afterlife, because the chicken gets run over.

lmao, what is this poo poo. Chicken just wants to get its smoke on.

i live in a building with two shared shower rooms in the basement so i cant rinse my poop-tools in the shower. i mean i can if i sneak them down when nobody is around but that gives me anxiety. i want to be able to proudly walk to the shower without pooptools in my hands.

it actually frustrated me a lot until i realized that i can skip the tools and just poop in the shower

its like a standing bidet, but upside down

You could just do handstands while pooping in the shower to make the bidet working from the correct direction.
