Because women are conditioned to be polite which men mistake as interest. When men are interested women think they’re just being polite. Can we all just start being honest and clear about how we feel about other people?

I have a recurring dream where I can't find a working toilet despite running all over the place. It finally kicks in that I should wake up and go to the bathroom.

Not counting any recovery time or anything like that she'd have to have been pregnant for approximately 243 months, or around 20 years.

Sounds like there wasn't much recovery time going on! Poor woman.

27 pregnancies would be one per year from age 15 to age 42. She essentially spent 75% of those years pregnant. Bet she was overjoyed to go through menopause, and finally have it all be OVER. That is, IF she lived long enough. Speaking of that, how many of the kids lived to adulthood?

That's still 27 pregnancies. That woman deserved all the backrubs and babysitters she could get.

Her husband remarried after death and had 18 more children (I think that’s right, correct me if I’m wrong)

How'd she keep track of them all? Was she ever tempted to just cut her husband off at the pass?

Not only is the sheer amount of children this woman had mind blowing 🤯, but the fact that so many survived birth and grew up in that day and age is astounding.

Only in this case, NOT nice. Even Kevin would agree.

OK this is really deceptive. "The false ad lawsuit all started in 2013 by a US consumer, Benjamin Careathers, who believed the company's slogan "Red Bull gives you wings" is dishonest. He argued the slogan clearly doesn't mean the drink will give you wings but it is generally understood the drink should give a higher energy boost than an average cup of coffee. But when Careathers found Red Bull had less caffeine than a cup of coffee, he felt there were grounds for a lawsuit. According to the Red Bull website, One 250ml (8.4 oz) can of Red Bull Energy Drink contains about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee, which is about 80mg." He argued the slogan clearly doesn't mean the drink will give you wings but it is generally understood the drink should give a higher energy boost than an average cup of coffee."

It's genetic and there is a test you can take. Many people don't take the test because there's nothing that can be done about it and would you really want to panic every time you can't sleep that this is it, it's kicking in, I'm dying?

Nope for me. I need my space and can't be touched by anything; though sometimes I can fall asleep when my dog cuddles my leg but I have to be able to freely move it

Which inventor of the TV? Because as with movies and the telephone and the aeroplane there are several people who could lay claim to being the inventor.

Psalm 23 A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Yeah, these are phrased so badly... This makes it sound like you always know after that time period, meanwhile, I actually fell in love with my now husband over months of regular interactions, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

It's true: average distance from earth to the moon is 384,400 km - add up the diameters of the seven other planets and you get 380,008 km - that's 8,030 km to spare. See this link: https://www.universetoday.com/115672/you-could-fit-all-the-planets-between-the-earth-and-the-moon/

But we have a built in mechanism to stop us from doing it except in really extreme situations so we won't destroy our bones and muscles in the process, apparently.

Wrong direction of cause and effect. The Latin for 'left' is 'sinister'. And since left-handedness was associated with the devil, the word 'sinister' gained a meaning of 'potential evil'.

That one is just stupid: mucosa is the generic name for any membrane that cover a body cavities or internal membrane, such as oral mucosa, nasal mucosa, vaginal mucosa, etc. Some secretes mucus, some don't. It doesn't mean they are all the same.
