“Apple Pay Uses Real Money”: 77 Hilariously Basic Things People Only Just Found Out

In a similar vein, I once came out with 'I like the marzi, but I don't like the pancake'.

Not unreasonable if mom took dad's last name.

The quiet part sounds delightful.

Hence the joke in The Living Daylights where Sanchez tells his henchmen to "launder it" when his d**g money gets blood and guts on it.

My brother was maybe 20 at a christmas parade with real reindeer and he turned in all seriousness and said "so do they fly?" Genius level

That’s some adorable mental gymnastics.

Hey, give yourself credit for actually knowing your numbers! There's been some research w/movie sequels where they'll use Arabic numbers as too many younger people can't recognize/figure out Roman numbers.

It's good to keep your family and friends aware of your hobbies

How time flies in Ohio and Iowa!

It is true. I've sent "PICK ME" cards to the Steelers for years. Hoping...

Parents are supposed to notice this kind of thing, while you're a child still in junior school ffks.

This is every kid at some point

An assumption she clearly shares.

Yes! Do it! Better to be safe than sorry...

I was born late in my parents' life (Mom was 45). They always talked about 'the girls'. A couple who had a weekend cabin in our area. I was in my 20's..."oh...'the girls' ". This was mid-70's.

As do Credit Cards... *sigh*

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!

Honestly (looks at current administration) it would seem to be more fitting.

That's a joke in Robin Hood Men In Tights. Rabbi Tuckman, played by Mel Brooks, raises his hat and the sideburns raise up with it

I originally thought The Underground Railroad was literally a series of trains under the ground in the US. I didn't realise it was a series of safehouses and people that helped runaway slaves. In my defence I'm not American and American history wasn't real taught when I was at school.

He's worked at NASA for decades

My autistic azz likes to call them on it. This is my trigger to pull out my phone and ask them when is a good time so I can put it in my calendar. It scares the doodoo out of them.

I keep hearing about this. I worry for the future.

Canadian here and Lay's chips have added "made with real potatoes" on the bag because 42% of people did not know potato chips were made from potatoes. IT'S RIGHT IN THE NAME FOLKS!

I think there was a prehistoric species of Penguin that were human sized.

I grew up in western Massachusetts and I was so disappointed when I learned the word diarrear was actually d i a r r h e a. My pronunciation made so much more sense.

When your sister is secretly a sea cucumber

I sometimes think food allergy testing should be mandatory if you are a parent and have food allergies. Yes, I know that people can develop allergies as an adult and have nobody else in their family have any food allergies, but still. Maybe I am biased because I grew up with a mom who has a whole bunch of food allergies (and other allergies), so I have that knowledge base, but I get annoyed (I'm not proud of it, but I do) when I hear/read people saying "I thought everyone had *such and such obvious allergy symptom* because I have that symptom! No! There are almost 8.3 billion (a billion is sometimes defined as a million million, so 8 billion is a HUGE number!) people on Earth! How the f***k would we all have the same reaction to eating bananas when some people don't have any food allergies! This is a topic that irks me greatly and I wish it didn't (yes, I know I chose to be annoyed by it, don't come for me!)

Ohhhhh!!!!! NOW you tell me!!!!!

At least she was trying....

Mutton, too.

And then there's the TV and movie producer 'McG'.

OK,I'm a bloke and my eyes are watering.

yup it varies due to breed and diet, but its 3 - 4.5% I think. So 2% isn't really removing that much fat.

The way birds and bees reproduce really doesn't resemble how humans do. Some sorts of mammals would have been better choices.

And they were in fact recently busted for deceptive advertising.

I feel like an adult who should have been supervising and teaching you failed you somehow.

Like watching the 1939 version of Wizard of OZ, when Dorothy first opened the door in OZ.

But it IS: Jesus H. Christ, "Harold" be thy name....

The easiest and fastest way to do this is by ascending a step ladder.

Yet many doctors (mostly male) say we can't feel it...

Now they're just on their phones.

Buy the "singles" if you can so they don't go to waste. I like doing that because then I can get bananas of different ripeness so they don't all go bad at the same time.

This, Jen, is the INTERNET.

I have ADD and very much enjoy low volume background noise (coffee shop, radio, TV, etc.) I also have tinnitus and consider it a gift. I especially enjoy it when I drift off to sleep. If I didn't appreciate auditory stimulus, I can see how it would be a huge problem.

Steely Dan was not a person, but there were people who were glad to see him because he was certainly glad to see them.

"eye boogers" :D

I think many of those born before 1980 were erroneously taught this. - - Claude says: Many K–12 textbooks (especially before the 2000s) did show veins in blue and sometimes described venous blood as “blue” or “bluish” in simplified diagrams, especially in elementary and middle school science materials. That visual shorthand led a lot of students to come away believing that blood inside the body is literally blue until it reaches oxygen. There actually were some educational materials and teachers that oversimplified enough to say things like “veins carry blue blood” without clarifying it was symbolic. So people who insist “my textbook literally taught me blood was blue” are often remembering a real classroom experience.

Disappointed in OP's lack of knowledge, or disappointed because the clerk was hoping to be able to try something called "cowboy beans" himself? I feel like pinto beans would be a good on-theme alternative, though they aren't terribly exciting straight from the can.

The horse's hoof is the evolutionary development of the toes. The middle toe, to be specific. The side toes evolved to the splint bones, and some of the toes completely vanished. Horses have been around in one form or another for about 60 million years, so this took time.

But the original designer of the iconic Coca-Cola bottle made the same mistake, and patterned the bottle after the cocoa bean pods.

As the saying goes "Shoes don't stretch". Always buy shoes that fit comfortably from the start.

I had just never heard of them until well into adulthood.

I wouldn't consider the thought that they like being in water completely wrong : - )

My father used to tell us boys if we swallowed the seeds they'd be stuck on our peepee

I've tried. But none of the eggs I brought home from the store turned into a chick.

Omg! I learnt this today lol. Don't ask me how old I am

When I was young, I used the New Years ball dropping to set my watch.

She just didn't want you drinking hers.

Fortunately, it wasn't Advocates for Women in Spelling, Engineering and Mathematics.

"Fra-gee-lay. It must be Italian"

They don't bump into each other because they use lightening as their brake lights and turn signals.

Yeah right. Next you tell me that tomatoes are fruits

If it makes you feel better, hermit crabs do that.

So where did you think they came from?

Ignore the word 'item' when you try and read this.
