People Online Are Sharing Facts That They Say “Feel Illegal To Know,” And Here Are 27 Of Them
It’s no secret that knowledge is one of the most powerful traits a person can have. From personal to societal growth – many things depend on it. That’s why we should all strive to improve ourselves in whatever ways we can.
Today's list could be one of those ways. Sure, it might be quite unorthodox, but sometimes the best insights come from the unexpected, don’t they? So, without further ado, let’s jump into this collection of relatively weird facts and see what we can learn!

If you go to the plant section of a store and walk around, you will likely find a few clippings on the ground. You can pick those up and take them home with you and stick them in some dirt and illegally download a plant for free :).

I'd recommend asking for advice, most people like to be helpful 🙂 A favour though depending upon what it is could be considered rude. I've helped out a few people in the past with an extra 10p for the bus fare. Yes, the 10ps add up but in the grand scheme of things? If you're stuck? I'll try and help you. I will try and help you as best as I can.

You probably know the saying “knowledge is power”, something we've all likely heard in our lifetimes in one form or another. Well, the saying doesn’t lie – knowledge, in fact, holds a lot of power.
It allows people to make informed decisions, understand concepts, and solve problems, leading them to personal growth and career advancements, not to mention driving progress, innovation, and economic development on a societal level.
There are plenty of ways to improve your knowledge, from traditional to quite unconventional ones. The former would include things like reading books, getting an education, or simply gaining knowledge through practice; you get the gist.

There was a pretty scary book published right after 9/11 about how plane passengers can “stop a hijacking” by using lots of different things… aluminium can, tiny bottle, meal tray…. on a plane as a weapon with tips on places of the body to target including arteries.
SkippityBoppityBoo 10 months ago
To be completely blunt? Stop hijacking planes instead? Exactly what are you doing or thinking that you're going to achieve? You're not achieving anything so please stop with bombs etc... I grew up during the time of the IRA and had bomb training at a few jobs, as in what to look for, suspicious packages, which code to give to the police because they would usually give a code... It was? It was so scary that that was our normal way of life.

The less traditional paths to education can take many forms. For example, knowing how informative social media is nowadays can surely be a source of education in a way. Granted, being aware of possible misinformation is very important here (and anywhere else, to be honest).
To make sure the information you’re presented with is trustworthy, you can do the CRAAP Test (yes, the name is a bit funny, but bear with us). This includes checking the information’s currency (or in other words, recency), relevance, authority, accuracy, and purpose – factors whose names form the abbreviation CRAAP. And that’s just one of the ways to be wary about the information you’re consuming.
Besides social media, you can gain knowledge from things like newsletters, podcasts, or today’s list. We filled it with facts that netizens in some online threads deemed “illegal to know”.

You can buy many keys online. Among them are:
There's the Ford fleet keys, which can get you into cops cars.
There's firefighter and maintenance elevator keys which let you control elevators. You can turn them off, or turn it to fire evacuation mode (it just goes to main floor and is then unusable) and even firefighter/maintenance mode which the elevator will only go where you want it to go. It won't stop at other floors to pick up other people.
Keys for bulldozers, backhoes, and other heavy equipment. Often one key will open many models omfrom the same manufacturer.
There's also something called a Lishi Tool. It can be used to pick locks, but it's also set you to tell you the position of each pin in the lock. That allows you to have another key cut from code (useful if you lose your keys and don't want to replace the whole lock.)
And of course, handcuff keys. I've used a real handcuff keys in toy cuffs, so I'd imagine toy keys could work in real handcuffs.
Generally these would all be legal to own (except the Lishi which is a type of lockpick and has various legalities around the US.) All you need is an internet connection, a credit card to pay for it and an address to send it to.

Of course, it’s just a joke; you shouldn’t worry about getting into legal trouble for knowing these, it just signifies how random or even weird some of these facts are. Since we don’t want to spoil anything, you just have to check them out for yourself (and don't forget to upvote!).
As we already acknowledged, knowledge is a powerful and useful trait, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have its drawbacks. One of them is the so-called “curse of knowledge.”
It’s a cognitive bias, which occurs when a person with specialized knowledge assumes others also have it. Basically, they start to take said knowledge for granted and it gets hard for them to remember times when they didn’t know it, now that it comes as second nature to them.

In Ontario, Canada, you have to add it as a rider to your auto insurance policy. It's a fairly cheap rider here (costs about $30-55 more per year)
So, as I might already understand, such bias can start affecting a person's relationships, as they might have a hard time understanding how someone doesn’t get the same things as they do.
For example, a teacher or professor may not be able to wrap their head around how students can not get a concept that comes easily to them. In the long run, it can cause some friction between them and disturb the relationship.
This curse can also hurt the person themselves, not only their bonds with others. When a person takes their knowledge for granted, they can’t fully grasp how much of it they have accumulated over time, and how much they improved from a starting point, which leads to undervaluing their achievements.

I didn't always have a pound coin to put into the trolley to release it and I didn't want to take up time and space from other customers waiting to be served to get a note swapped for change. It's little things that make a difference in others lives I guess. They might be late for work or having to rush elsewhere.

It's called middle school biology classes. At least, I was under this impression till now.
Since meaningful praise (even if it comes from yourself) is proven to boost motivation, performance, and memory, when a person deprives themselves of it due to said undervaluation, in extreme cases it might stagnate their progress.
So, to avoid such extreme consequences, when learning new things, you should attempt to stay as mindful of it as possible, but without letting it take away the joy of discovery. A tricky balance, but what life situation isn’t, right?

Rewrote it: Banks often make it difficult to reach a live customer service representative. If you're struggling to navigate the automated menus, try selecting the option for applying for a loan or credit card, or simply say you want to apply for a credit card. Even if you're dealing with an AI assistant (like Axis Bank's "Axa"), mentioning loan or credit card applications will usually get you transferred to a real person quickly. Once you're speaking with someone, explain your actual issue, and they can then direct you to the correct department.
Shannon Donnelly 10 months ago
Thank you for putting in the work the actual person didn’t. And I think this thought process goes with most companies. Getting through to your cable company’s customer service dept may seem impossible, but if you say you’re looking to open a new account, they’ll automatically transfer you to a live person (if they think they’re going to make money off of you, then you’re worthy of talking to a person), and then you can ask to be transferred to the department you need. Doesn’t mean you still won’t be put on hold once again, but I guess it’s worth a shot 🤷🏻♀️

Allow me to translate from stream-of-consciousness to coherent English... "Some people still don't know this, but if you want to talk to a bank customer care executive these days, they purposely try to make it as hard as possible. The option is locked behind as many options as possible to minimize the chances of you speaking to an actual human being. If you choose the "apply for loan/credit card" option or just say "I want to apply for a credit card" (if you're stuck talking to an AI), you'll be connected with a person within a few minutes. Then you can ask them to transfer you to the department you're after if you ask them to do so."

In hospital I was taught about the 'pain scale', it goes from one to 10. Most days I was around 4-5, yes pain in my spine but it's manageable. I said to the nurses, "I may need Morphine tonight when you do last rounds so I can sleep but if I swear? I promise I'm not swearing at you, yourselves, it's my bloody blinking spine!" They knew and also that I was never ever swearing at them, at all, when I was being transported to have an MRI etc or being moved. They completely understand that you may come out with swear words that you didn't know you knew!!! So pleasure from pain? Nope.

If you have an e-ink Kindle (not a Kindle Fire, just your basic ereader) load it up with library books and/or Kindle Unlimited and then turn on airplane mode. The device doesn't know what date it is so you can keep the books as long as you like (or until you turn wifi back on).

How is it that this site had taken sure a sharp nosedive in just the last couple weeks? Remember that one day this week where there weren't thirty celebrity gossip articles - bliss.
