Things you were shockingly old when you learned

well, duh. how do you think people get leprosy in the first place?

Leprosy always seemed like an unfair tradeoff for people who are clever enough to have figured out how to fuck an armadillo.

I was a teenager when I found out that Ku Klux Klan were not a cartoon or a band but something more serious. My first guess would have been a cartoon about chickens. Clue Clucks Clan: Chicken Detectives.

I seen 3 Women a few weeks ago and its shockingly late to learn that Shelley Duvall is really beautiful.

platypuses have venom

That window seats on planes are preferable to aisle seats. Going against habit I got a window seat on a whim recently and realized how nice it is not to be constantly bumped or brushed against by aisle traffic

That Grandmaster Flash didn't have anything to do with White Lines or The Message.

+ can look out of the window. At the age of 37, after around 100 flights, the novelty of WE'RE IN THE FUCKING SKY hasn't worn off.

xp

I have a weak bladder, so I always prefer aisle seats, it's awkward to wake up some random person who's trying to sleep so I can pee.

if you pee on them they will prob wake up too

I thought 10cc was either a punk band or krautrock until like 3 months ago

I used to think if you had an acoustic guitar,

John belushi would smash it

and i would applaud him

That time Colin Hay was on Scrubs

I learned very recently that Vancouver is all the way out west... I just thought it was close to Toronto or something. idk fuck

And the weird part is that you live in Etobicoke.

i learned that "Toonrot" is an anagram for Toronto

Vancouver is Canadian Seattle. Or vice versa

Only figured out upon hearing it today (probably because I never paid anything but peripheral attention to the song before) that Adam Duritz is the second voice on '6th Avenue Heartache'.

Yeah, I don't really care, either.

now I hate the song twice as much, thanks

Vancouver is Canadian San Diego, if you think about it.

I learned two months ago that peanuts aren't nuts.

I didn't know Vancouver was on the Pacific til I was 27.

Vancouver is undoubtedly canadian seattle

I heard about it as Vancouver being Canadian San Francisco as in arty bohemian magnet some years ago. I think reflected in music scene etc.
But not sure who from there beyond My Indole Ring and Subhumans during different eras.

at least we're all agreeing it's like some other west coast city

It's like the Joplin, Mo. of British Columbia.

I just now found out that Mickey and Minnie are boyfriend and girlfriend, not brother and sister

they're both

fuckin mice mannnn

theyre also postsexual btw

i can't remember the last time i saw an actual mickey mouse cartoon. when was the last one made? *goes to wiki*

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mickey_and_the_Roadster_Racers

There was one of those 3-D computer-generated shows starring the Mouse. Soundtrack by They Might Be Giants

Annnoyed me at :59 how fast the characters disappeared from them leaving the gate to when the camera pans to its wide shot.

That the power on/off symbols '|' and 'O' come from the binary system, 1 and 0. This knowledge helps enormously to keep the two apart.

It took me ages to learn which is which. I think this is because I have a memory of shutting down a television set when I was young, you'd see this fading flash that, in our case, resembled '|'. So I always thought that meant 'off', and O seemed logical to me to mean 'on', in an open circuit kind of way.

It never even occurred to me. I just thought it was a cool symbol.

a lot of these symbols that are just 'symbols' on the surface are actually quite logical. Like the divide-by sign (a dot, above a line, above a dot - can't find it on a modern keyboard) is just a representation of what you'd do with long division.

That makes sense. But to me '|' feels way more like 'closed', or off, than O which feels open or on. But it's the other way around.

that americans think michael flateley is irish

michael flateley is the most american least irish person in the world

Most American Irish are more likely to have predominate DNA/family history that hails from the fjords, brits or the Nazis, you can't blame them for trying really.
