30 People Who Were ‘Today Years Old’ When They Realized These Random Things

That's a cute and fascinating fact

I am exactly today years old when I found this out

I was today years old when I found out I could be jealous of a mouse

Adorable

Stop saying "today years old". It sounds stupid.

I read about it years ago, but didn't know they sent him a painting. That's cool and sweet too!

Lmao what the hell!? That’s brilliant!

They take their herbs and spices very seriously here

Who knew!!!

I want that painting

How cute 😍

That one on the right certainly has a smug expression. "Enjoy your walk, suckers!"

Goats used to be used to feed orphaned/abandoned children.

Donkeys worked to death and lambs slaughtered for greedy bellies.

I love that there are "donkey nannies".

This typically is not the best idea, though. Rather use a socket wrench with bits and operate it really carefully. Using special oils to loosen a screw firstbor to de-rust it can also help. Merr mere force likely destroy the screw!

i thought they just did that to punish your hands when you really had to twist hard

what all that time

Hmmm.. Nice to know when you're 64.

😳 Wot!

I didn't know that because I'm more familiar with the purple kind in the stores. I didn't know that that's how they grow. BTW, this is the white version. The purple version starts out purple from the beginning.

I did not know that.

I was today years old when I found out that eggplants are also called aubergines. Maybe tomorrow I will find out how to pronounce it.

I never knew this, but they certainly do look like eggs growing.

We call them aubergines here but I did wonder about the "eggplant" name.

Owl: "Let go, how inappropriate!"

I picture him in a top hat singing and dancing to a broadway musical with those long legs

🎶She's got leeegs, and she knows how to use 'em. 🎵

damn got legs for days!

"Owl see you in court!"

Measles targets memory cells?? Thanks to every scientist who ever put an ounce of thought into creating that life-saving vaccine.

This is inaccurate. There was a study in 2019 and it says 20% to 50% of antibodies. A little hypercritical to point at anit vaxxers when you bring inaccurate facts to the argument. Let's fight ignorance with facts.

"A new study shows that measles wipes out 20 to 50 percent of antibodies against an array of viruses and bacteria, depleting a child's previous immunity." Still: vaccines rock!!!!

This is 'kinda' true. The disease works through immunosuppression but once you've had it you are, for example, immune from getting it again. So it's not a permanent case of immunosuppression. If this were the case everyone who had measles would die from it. Spoiler, I've had measles, didn't die. Before we had a vaccine it was considered a normal childhood disease and deaths among the otherwise healthy were fairly rare..

This is not true. The paper says that in a few cases where the person suffers a severe illness from measles it may reduce levels of some antibodies by up to 70%. There is no indication that they would not be replaced if the person caught that infection. There is also an indication that patients who have had severe measles have an increased morbidly rate. However it does not say they two are directly linked there may be other causes like poor living condition, lack of general vaccination etc., they have not said that measles is an underlying cause. Having said that I know from my own experience of having measles when young ( before the vaccination was available), it is a nasty disease and can have life changing impacts. In my case it affected my vision meaning I was unable to follow my preferred career as a cameraman/ photographer.

cool!
