Throughout our human existence, we have collectively accumulated concepts and information that an average person is typically supposed to be aware of, better known as general or common knowledge. Like, for example, the fact that the Earth revolves around the sun or that a week has seven days. However, due to our different backgrounds, upbringings, educations, professions, and many other factors, what we think encompasses common knowledge can hugely vary.Many people assumed the facts you’ll find below were common knowledge but were surprised to learn otherwise. Scroll down to see them for yourself, and be sure to upvote those that caught you off guard.

Vaccinations do not cause autism and never did.
Forrest Hobbs 5 months ago
"Denmark, … removed thimerosal from childhood vaccines in 1992 … Researchers compared the rates of autism before and after thimerosal’s removal … studies demonstrated conclusively that thimerosal was not causing autism or neurodevelopmental harm" so of course "A federal vaccine panel, recently reshaped by US health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has voted to discourage the use of flu vaccines containing thimerosal" https://theconversation.com/thimerosal-discouraged-in-us-flu-vaccines-breaking-with-who-guidance-259609
In an academic environment, common knowledge refers to “information generally known to an educated reader, such as widely known facts and dates, and, more rarely, ideas or language,” according to Harvard University.
This information shouldn’t need a citation backing it up for the average educated reader to understand it. “Widely known scientific and historical facts—such as the molecular structure of water (H2O), or that Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States—generally count as common knowledge. You can include such facts in your writing without citation and without fear of committing plagiarism,” the educational institution further instructs.

It’s not *should of* / *would of* / *could of* - those word combos make no grammatical sense.

Not everyone's disability is visible. Just because someone parks in a handicap spot then gets out and walks in without you being able to tell why they're handicapped doesn't mean they don't deserve that placard.

This! My little sister has chronic fatigue syndrome. She's thirteen and has issues walking (my mom won't let her use a cane/walking stick, she doesn't want her "accessorizing her disability") so when we went to the store, she used a motorized cart. She was so embarrassed and felt like people were judging and staring. I had to reassure her that she was fine and that her condition wasn't everyone's business and what mattered was her and her health.

My best friend has multiple health conditions that boil down to her needing to sit or lie down after about 30 minutes walking from the pain. Just because you can walk in doesn't mean you are ok. Her condition means exercise is out of the question and people assume she's just lazy because she's overweight instead of being overweight because of her condition.

Just because someone can walk, it doesn't mean they're walking easily (e.g., might be an amputee with pain around where the prothestic attaches), and even if they are walking easily right now, it doesn't mean they will still be walking easily in 5 minutes (e.g., chronic lung conditions can greatly reduce the distance a person can easily walk).

How many hours of abuse do you think they put up with, when they were young and working their fingers to the bone to feed their families? They've done their yards, they've earned some rest, respect, and consideration! Just remember... one day YOU will be old, forced to standing on public transport, looking askance at self-entitled little pricks like you, because "you're tired"! How do I know this? Because I'm 78, and been there... and done *that*! Trust me, it's not nice when some little self-entitled flibbertigibbet sits there staring insolently at you, while you stand!

this isn't my problem. it's the other folks who have no applicable license plate, placard, or hang tag parking in handicapped spots. you're right that there's no way for us to really know why someone needs that spot if they indeed have those credentials. but folks who do not have them and hop right out of the car as if all of their limbs work? nope. i have relatives who really do need those spots and it burns me up when able-bodied folks are parking there "just for a second" or because "honestly who cares about these 'made up rules'".
Knowing whether something is common knowledge can be tricky. Therefore, Scribbr, a company that provides a range of academic services, suggests asking yourself a few questions before assuming something is common knowledge. Like, for example, ‘Who is my audience, and what can I assume they know?’ In case your audience has knowledge in the same field as you, you probably can get away with assuming they know more than an average person.

Michael Largey 5 months ago
Ask yourself - what is the US Treasury going to do with iTunes gift cards?
If you think your addressee might be surprised by the information you present or question its accuracy, then it probably isn’t common knowledge. Another indicator of information not being known to everyone is if it can’t be easily verified with a quick Google search. No piece of common knowledge has to be dug out of the depths of the internet or other databases.

Knowing when a piece of information is common knowledge or not isn’t only useful in academic environments but also in everyday life. It can help you better communicate with others if you aren’t assuming they know everything you know. It’s easy to fall into this assumption trap, as we can possess a cognitive bias called ‘knowledge curse’ that makes it difficult for us to imagine others not knowing something we know and have learned.

Correlation does not equal causation.
Marnie 5 months ago
This is so lost on people in the US that even reputable news outlets, journalists, academics, and politicians forget it, and they will cite statistics without adjusting for variables. So, whenever I hear something like, "Mortality rate of Black pregnant women is higher than white women," I want to hear, "after adjusting for other variables such as income and address" (which very sadly happens to be true). But very, very often, there is no adjusting.

That there are no tigers in Africa. I was on safari in Tanzania and two others in the truck were discussing how excited they would be to see tigers. I told them there weren't any and they looked all disbelieving and crestfallen, like I was spoiling their fun. They had to check with the guide.
Ironically, the curse of knowledge makes it difficult for people to share their knowledge because they fail to empathize with their level of knowledge. It significantly affects how information is communicated, which can be an issue for educators and experts in particular. They might struggle to convey complex concepts to their audience because they struggle to imagine what it’s like for others not to have the depth of knowledge they do.

That whales are mammals that used to be on land but evolved to swim instead.
I had an art teacher that just didn't believe me when I told her that they're not fish.
Bret Sander 5 months ago (edited)
Pakicetus was the last land based ancestor. The transitional fossils show, that over time, the nostrils slowly migrated from the tip of the nose, to where they are seated on modern whales. It's one of our best examples of evolution over time.
Fortunately, the curse of knowledge can be overcome. The first step toward it is to embrace empathy. Practicing perspective-taking and putting ourselves in others’ shoes can help us gauge how to communicate and explain information to others better. Next is simplifying and clarifying the way we communicate with others. Complex ideas should be broken down into smaller, more manageable chunks and illustrated with examples.

That a lot of people didn't know what a tariff was.
To ensure that the communicated information was clear, the speaker should also encourage questions and feedback from their audience. If there are any knowledge gaps left, the person can then clarify the information, providing the missing puzzle pieces.

Don't pet service dogs. I used to think everyone knew this, until I got one.
Don't pet them, talk to them, make kissy noises, bark at them (grown a*s adults barking at service dogs is shockingly common), whistle, clap, none of that s**t. Do not do anything to deliberately draw the dog's attention.
If they are distracted, the handler could get hurt or even die. Not exaggerating. If a medical alert dog misses an impending medical emergency, the person doesn't have time to get into a safe position or take rescue medications. If they have a seizure or slip into a diabetic coma or something because you distracted their service dog *it is your fault.*.

Many people have never had the flu? That sounds extremely unlikely. In Europe: "It is estimated that up to 20% of the population are infected with seasonal influenza each year." That would mean that if it was distributed equally, you'd have it once every 5 years. So surely there can't be many people who've never had it. Also, it doesn't have to knock you on your a*s at all, in fact you might not even notice you have it: "it has been estimated that around 65-85% of people with flu do not show any symptoms at all."
