That And Single-Use Toiletries
As a kid, you must have heard people say, "Don't put your elbows on the dining table." This rule has been handed down through generations; however, it has become irrelevant due to changes in dining etiquette.
During medieval times, people sat around long, communal dining tables where a lot of people squeezed into tiny spaces or sat side by side chatting while enjoying meals together; hence, putting elbows on the table was impractical since it would make it difficult for people seated near you to eat comfortably.

Many of us might be afraid of swallowing gum, as folklore suggests that it sits in your stomach for seven years before it can be digested. But that’s not really true.
Naturally, gum is not supposed to be swallowed, as it can’t be easily digested or digested at all. However, it doesn’t mean that it remains inside the body. It is passed out as waste, just like anything else you eat.

Don't Flatter Yourself - A Signature
Auntriarch 1 year ago (edited)
And also the "you like to have your head still attached to your neck" filter. Which is was so ingrained that Cromwell allegedly had to specify that he wanted a realistic picture with faults included. Seriously though, I'd really like to have my portrait painted by Winterhalter
Contrary to popular belief, your wet hair, as well as the wind or rain, are not the reasons you catch a cold. The flu is caused by different viruses that can survive on indoor surfaces like doors.
The common cold is mostly caused when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with contaminated hands. However, we should remember that cold weather can weaken our immune system, making us susceptible to viral infections.

Dad Of The Year

The only things I remember requiring a parent's signature for were field trips and sex ed.
Passerby 1 year ago
This is the first time I have ever heard of requiring a parent's signature for sex ed. What happened if they don't allow it?

With the writing skills kids have nowadays, they would instantly be able to tell it wasn't a parent who signed it. My 25 year old is the only one of my 5 kids who has decent handwriting. My other kids (late teens and early 20's) sign their names like a 5th grader. They need to bring back handwriting classes.

A dads way of granting power of attorney to you over your own school life. I approve!

That's why my mother never let Dad sign anything from school. His writing and mine were too much alike and she was afraid that I'd get in trouble for forging his signature.

I always signed my own notes. I figured the teachers don't know my signature, especially if it's just initials and a decorative strike through it.
Huddo's sister 1 year ago
I have the same initials as my mum. When my sister started school, my mum was hard to pin down to sign things (undiagnosed ADHD) so I just started signing all her forms. Obviously I told her about it, and checked before taking money for excursions.

When I was a senior, my mother worked out of town and wasn't home during the week. From my 18th birthday on, I wrote my own notes, which often said "Please excuse my lateness. I overslept"

I don’t know any teacher that compares signatures from one form to another. Maybe there are some but who has time to cross check them?

Seriously there's very rarely anything school would ask permission for that a parent would sign off no for. Unless there's some crazy religious person or something who's decided that dinosaurs don't exist or you can't teach their kids sex ed because they need to stay naive and moldable.

They Lose. Their. Minds
The misconception that eating carrots makes your night vision significantly better is based on the fact that the vegetable is rich in vitamin A. However, while carrots can help you keep your eyes healthy, they won't grant you superhuman night vision.
Good health, especially eye health, depends on eating a balanced diet rich in different kinds of nutrients.

Transparent Dishwasher

My 3yo son sat entranced for half an hour in a store watching the demo dishwasher with a transparent door once. Cheapest child minding I ever found. I too wish I could have bought it. Maybe there is an opportunity here to sell replacement acrylic doors.
It's a fallacy that shaving causes hair to regrow darker and thicker. Shaving removes hair from the surface, leaving behind a blunt tip that feels coarser and looks thicker when the hair grows back.
Shaving, however, has no effect on the thickness, color, or growth rate of hair because these are influenced by hormones and heredity. The texture and look of the hair revert to normal as it grows out

The superstition that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck dates back centuries and is rooted in ancient beliefs about mirrors reflecting the soul. It was thought that breaking a mirror would harm one's soul and lead to misfortune. In reality, the fear of bad luck from breaking mirrors is purely superstitious and has no scientific basis.

I think the reason many of us just couldn't grasp the concept of NFTs, is because we couldn't believe that was all there was to it. Like, people are buying internet pictures that anyone can just screenshot? No, that can't be right.
