When people don’t believe in facts, you can try to explain to them the science behind it, but you will not necessarily succeed and there is no point in arguing. People like to do that anyway. Sometimes it’s very important, such as when it comes to huge topics like vaccination, and it’s actually useful to make the other person see it your way, but other times it’s just small little things like usage of a word or food preference.

Even though these are small things when looking at the big picture, people are wholeheartedly convinced in them and we all probably have an opinion about an insignificant thing that doesn’t coincide with what the majority thinks. It actually reveals the way you think, so Reddit user FunWithAPorpoise asked people what are their smallest hills that they’ll die on.

This fun thread went a bit viral on Reddit with almost 34k upvotes and nearly 26k people got involved in the conversation, sometimes pointing out valid truths and in other cases making you want to argue with them.

As someone with light sensitivity, regular lights are bad enough. If you need a mini super nova firing out of your car to feel safe driving in the dark, you shouldn't be driving in the dark to begin with.

I'm super light sensitive & keep orange lens glasses in my glove box for night driving, they make a huge difference. You don't need expensive ones, just service station quality to begin with, if you love them like me then invest in a better pair, they are brilliant

If you have factory LED headlights that are aimed correctly then they will not shine in anyone's eyes. It's the aftermarket and lifted vehicles that cause blinding. In a perfect world every vehicle should have the same height headlights and bumpers so safety systems (airbags, bumpers, crumple zones, etc.) can work effectively. If you hit me with your tiny d@#& lifted truck when you're drunk driving I am going to get decapitated and you will walk away. How is that reasonable?

Living in a country where there are 18 hours of darkness in the wintertime and where it's mandatory to inspect cars routine based and where aligning of the lights are also inspected I have practically newer been blinded due car headlights.

Why would you want to blind the driver who's coming at you?? Not a good idea. And anyone pooh-poohing the blinding effect these lights have ought to try driving on a 2-lane, dark country road at night. Even if you're not looking directly at them as "Mr Miata" here suggests, you cannot see past them on your own side of the road. If there happens to be something or someone on the road just ahead of you, you have almost no chance of seeing it.

YES. My car came with these lights and I HATE IT, but apparently there are no non-blinding lights for my car so I can't change them. People always think I have my brights on. I've lost count of the number of people who pull over so they can get behind me and then aggressively tailgate me with their brights on, like I KNOW THEY'RE RIDICULOUS THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT.

    I disagree with this greatly ..... If you don't NEED to use speaker phone then yes, it's kind of rude, but I worked at a disability center for quite a few years and for some of the individuals (especially ones with movement or sensory complications) it was the ONLY way they could use their phone. Be a good human; don't ALWAYS assume someone's rude because of how they use technology.....they might just have a legitimate reason for doing it that way.

    I agree with you disagreeing. I don't use a speaker phone in public very often, but when I do it's because I'm shopping for someone else and they need to be able to look at the shelves while on video. I've seen other people in my area do the same thing countless times, either because of covid or because they're shopping for someone elderly. Honestly, as long as it's in a store, even just hearing someone having a loud phone conversation doesn't bother me. It might bother me in an outdoor setting where I'm trying to enjoy myself, but in a store, I'm usually just bored and if nothing else, listening to other people is mildly entertaining

    What gets me is the guy sitting at a red light, no signal, so you get behind him thinking he's going straight. You could've gone in the right side lane but there were more cars. Then, when the light turns green, HE PUTS ON HIS LEFT TURN SIGNAL! Too late! Now I'm stuck there waiting for him to turn or for the lane to my right to clear, and maybe make the light.

So many tickets for not using a turn signal... It was also as common as your standard speeding and red light/stop sign tickets.

    I never used to use my signal, but a realization changed my practice entirely: The turn signal is not a courtesy to other drivers. By signaling my intent, I reduce the chances of being HIT by someone who may be barely paying attention. Whether they're on their phone, doing makeup, or getting a hummer, there are a lot of drivers who are too distracted to operate a motor vehicle safely. Seeing my turn signal may get enough of their attention to avoid a collision.

    They can do this on other countries because they have a flat tax. We don't have flat tax in the US. Every state, city, and county has their own tax rates and they change constantly. You can't have a system where tax is already included in the price because of that. Or if they do, they'll pad it so you're actually paying more, which would obviously not be preferable.

    Not true. The different state taxes would just prevent companies from printing the price on the products themselves, which is rare anyways. And they could do it by just adding a layer onto the current system that added in the correct tax before putting the price on the shelf sticker.

    40 Of The Smallest Hills People Are Prepared To Die On, As Shared In This Online Group Kids can be annoying. You’re allowed to think someone’s kid is annoying. You don’t have to tell the kid or their parents. But you can distance yourself if you want. You don’t have to tolerate any kid if you don’t want to is what I’m getting at.

    Substitute "person" for "kids." There are more kids I'd rather hang around than grown-ups. I think a-holes are just a-holes.

    At the same time, parents shouldn't be so self-entitled as to allow their kids to be annoying in every setting. In some settings, parents actually have to parent and teach their kids to be respectful. People shouldn't have to distance themselves in places they should be able to reasonably expect kids to not be annoying.

    In some places you can distance yourself. But if you go to your favorite restaurant and someone's "little darlings" are running rampant - why should you leave them to it and deny yourself your favorite restaurant?

    My niece did that one time, literally running through the restaurant. Her parents just sat there and didn't do anything. We kept telling them to go get her. It was annoying everyone. Finally the manager came over and told them that we would have to leave if they wouldn't control her. My own children were sitting at the table behaving.

    My hubby and I are without kids but may change our minds and adopt later in life. Whenever we got to a decent sit down restaurant we always get sat near someone's screaming kids who run around their table and lean over our side of the booth and try to talk with us, which makes my hubs uncomfortable because he's nervous about saying something to offend their parents 🙄

    My kids are annoying some times. I don't want you to tell me about it, I'm already trying to deal with them the best I know how so your comment can only make me decide that I should give up trying. I hate when people make comments or give mean looks because they don't know what kids are like. If they are just being annoying and I'm in the process of shushing them, then stay out of it. However, if another kid is being annoying and the parent isn't watching them or isn't even there, those are the kids you can save all your comments for!

    If anybody is wondering about the fighting in the comments... it's because here in the U.S. they decided to take SALAD DRESSING... call it "Miracle Whip" and market it as a low fat alternative to mayo and BOY OH BOY was it a genius marketing gimmick. The US is GREAT at body shaming. So now there's an entire generation and a half confused about condiments. BUT in reality it's as OP stated... THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE FOODS. Miracle Whip shouldn't be put on your burgers, it's a salad dressing... pasta SALAD, tuna SALAD, egg SALAD, things that mayo is too heavy/greasy/oily for. For burgers, sandwiches, and french fry dipping? Bring on the Helman's!

    There is a difference for the players. Playing at home is much more supportive than playing away. It does wonders for their confidence, and often their enjoyment. It made a difference for me and my teammates in high school and college, even though we only played in front of small crowds. In the stadium, the cheers are just as much for the fans themselves than for the players. I went to the rugby World Cup in 2019, and the atmosphere was absolutely electric. One of my favourite experiences ever, even though my team lost!

Basically new cars are driving, fully connected phone/computer/tablet-things that drive. This is going to be a major money maker. Want more power? Sure, $10 a month extra

    Spelling your child's name weird doesn't make them unique. Take it from me, a weirdly spelled name just gives them extra work to do when getting clerical stuff done for themselves for their entire life. If you want your kid to be unique then foster that uniqueness in their personality as they grow up, don't try to take a shortcut to making your child special.

    Agreed! But the macaroons everyone sees today, "big, puffy dollops" are wrong, at least to me. They should be small, one or two bites worth. In a typically 'Murican way, bigger must be better, right? So now we have these huge gut-busting monster macaroons on the market, along with the giant cookies, giant candy bars, & huge 64 ounce sodas.

    Your right, they are not the same. It all started out from an almond based sweet from the Arabic cuisine, that expanded to Europe. In France, they called the sweet "macaron" and would developp it further in to the recipe we know today. When English loaned the word a second o was added. With the rise of coconut imports, the almonds slowly got replaced in recipes, leading to the macaroons of today. In Europe, macarons are clearly associated with France, while macaroons have different variants with almonds or coconut (e.g. traditionnal Christmas sweets), while in the US the coconut variant is more prevalent. Blame it on the similar names and this prevalence, but the only time I ever witness confusion between macarons and macaroons is by Americans on the internet.

My touch screen locks while the car is in anything other than park. But I can control it from my steering wheel so that’s what I usually do!

    Some snakes are both. Most are not. I also looked it up, and I can find no evidence to support your statement. You link to a dictionary definition that does not support your statement at all.(1) The Department of Wildlife (2) even says " Poisons are substances that are toxic (cause harm) if swallowed or inhaled. Venoms are generally not toxic if swallowed, and must be injected under the skin (by snakes, spiders, etc.) into the tissues that are normally protected by skin in order to be toxic." Poison is a defense. Venom is both an offense and a defense. To give a bit of truth to your statement, some venoms are still dangerous to ingest, but they are still dangerous that it getting into your bloodstream.

    Since I work nights, I typically do my shopping on the way home from work around 9-10 am, when there are few other customers in the stores yet. What I really hate is how EVERY SINGLE PERSON working in a big store like Target/Walmart has to ask me if I need any help finding something -- even if they're literally ten feet away from the *last* one I just loudly said "NO" to. I know it's corporate policy making them do this, and I try really hard not to take it out on the employees doing it, but it totally makes my blood boil that they are not allowed to use their own judgement about when it is obvious at a glance that some people don't need help unless they ask for it -- and don't want to be constantly interrupted.

    There are a lot of these. Many times the confusion comes in where there are two version of a word; another one that confuses people is hyphenated words. eg "I log in to my account" is different to "what is your account log-in?" and "they work out every day" is very different to "my everyday workout is strenuous". The differences are subtle and I get not everyone cares, but the meaning does change and sometimes it can cause confusion.

    "Hummus" means chickpeas in Arabic. Not broad beans and feta, not peanuts, not anything: just chickpeas, with garlic, lemon juice and tahini. It infuriates me when I see "carrot hummus" or similar. Plus, it's not a "dip" it's a meal, with bread and salad.

    Actually, you are not totally correct: hummus does not require tahini. Trust me--I live in Israel. Hummus is essentially smashed humus (chick peas) with seasonings. The oil goes on top, and tahini is a specially added flavor. Also, it's pronounced "hoo-mus", not "hum-us".

    They could have put the kids up for adoption which wouldn't guarantee that they could stay together and would almost certainly have been a far worse outcome. Being an only-child to wealthy parents while separated from a twin you don't know about doesn't seem like a serious problem.

    The author knew the whole story, so at that point the order doesn't matter. But if you don't already know the story, written order actually makes sense. Chronological order is a dumpster fire of references to things you don't know yet.

    But aren't they in the order the author wanted them now? I thought that's why they aren't in that order anymore?

    I've heard that, but if that's true, Lewis was wrong.

    I get your point but honestly, you could read them backwards and they'd still be truly awesome!

    Agree- but the start of Magicians Nephew is hard to get through if you are young (or it was for me at 10)

    It's like watching the Star Wars movies on the chronological order. Just no

    Actually, there is a lot of honest, academic debate about that. They aren't published that way "nowadays", but have been for many decades. I remember the first box set came out in 1980; I created a whole display in the bookstore where I worked.

    I love glittery and sparkly things but I do understand the environmental impact and the mess it can make. The biodegradable glitter needs to be cheaper so we can still get our glitter fix.

    Glitter is fabulous. But I agree, most are not good for the environment. And like confetti, you'll still find some in your underwear two month later.

    The older I get, the more I like sparkly stuff. I wore mostly black, gray & brown when I was younger. I'll be Grandma Barbie in my sparkly clothes. My granddaughter calls them sprinkles, which I have stolen.

    I like the way glitter looks. However, I do not allow glitter in it's raw form into my house! I wish I could say the same for markers, paints and liquid glue, but my kids are artists and my perfectionistic side lost a lot of battles...

    For the most part, but I did consider getting my exhaust manifold ceramic coated in black with glitterly sparkles. LOL

    Anything with loose glitter, agreed. That gets everywhere. But anything where it's contained is fine.

    Right. And the quality of each oil also makes a big difference, especially with truffel oil. Does it countain real truffels or synthetic crap.

    You wouldn’t use truffle oil when cooking a Chinese meal. Truffle oil on pasta or drizzled over a pizza is just heavenly but too expensive these days.

    Truffle anything is an affront to the senses, it smells and tastes like mold.
