Article created by: Denis Krotovas
When you live with something for a long time, it tends to become a part of your daily life, and you begin to accept it as normal. This is what has happened with many weird things in our society that probably shouldn’t be treated so casually.
The folks on this list share all the examples of things that have been accepted as normal that are actually pretty weird and bizarre. Some of them you might agree with, and others you might have opinions on. Maybe you might even come up with examples of your own!

Working until you're old, greying, and broken then using whatever time you have left for all the things you wish you could have done when you were younger.
#3
"Feel-good" news stories about how a kid makes a lemonade stand or something to pay for her mom's cancer treatment because no one can afford healthcare in America.
#6
Politicians blatantly lying to the people. We accept it so readily, it's as though it's supposed to be that way.
#7
Giving tons of money to the rich people who don’t need it while explaining to the poor that there isn’t enough to go around.
#8
"I know more than experts about this subject because of my gut or something I found online.".
#13
People having kids and trying to live their lives again through them, vicariously, forcing the kids to do things that the parents never got to do, even when the kids show no inclination, and even have an active dislike, for those things.
#17
The entire timeframe that we made up. Like how it’s gotta be 8+ hour work days 5 days a week etc etc.
#18
Children mentally or financially not responsible for themselves yet having children themselves.
#19
College. We can’t trust them to buy beer but we expect them to understand every facet of the outrageous debt they’re taking on? Traditional college kids are exactly that, kids.
#20
Spending 5/7ths of your life waiting for 2/7ths of it to come. we hate like 70% of our life, how is that considered fine?
#22
Circumcision. Literally removing part of your genitalia is just deemed perfectly normal. Beyond wild to me.
#23
Sleeping 4 hours a night due to work and saying things like "it's all a part of the grind bro".

As a non-American, I am amazed at their credit score system. As a third world citizen, credit cards are usually for rich (and slightly less rich) people who have more disposable money than the rest of us and could pay off their debt.
The way I see people on reddit talk about it is strange and somewhat scary. Everyone should have a card of his own as soon as he becomes an adult, you should always buy things with it and pay back to actively build your score. You're basically doomed if you don't have a good score, and living your life peacefully without a card is not an option, and lastly you'll be seen as an idiot if you know nothing about it.

That half the world are dying from obesity related issues and the other half are dying from famine.
Also- the monarchy.

Clapping to show approval or happiness. Clapping is weird. Just slapping your hands together.

We are the only animal that wear clothes. It's rather strange when I truly think about it.
