I had an uncle that died when I was 6 and my parents told me he climbed a tree with a rope and fell with the rope ‘accidentally’ getting tangled round his neck, it took me until I was 15 to realise he had hung himself

I was in my early twenties when i realised that calling celebrities "stars" isn't just an honorable comparison to cellestial bodies, but actually stems from the word "starring".
@@tealwashablemarker8886 In fact, starring comes from star which really does come from the celestial body, from the greek "aster". Starring was first used with the modern meaning in the 19th century.

Saw something like that in a r/askDoctors post. Some lady signed for an amputation surgery no questions asked because she thought her arm would eventually grow back.

My history teacher told me about a 14 year old girl who didn’t know that she was going to die. Apparently, my teacher said something like: Oh, well we’re all going to die anyway, and she started crying. Her mom called the next day, saying that the girl didn’t know about death, and could not stop crying.....soooo yeah
I think I learned about death when I was 4. My grandma had this shitty oldass chihuahua that was a real prick to me. Like she legit would go out of her way to nip me, until I learned to kick back. Still, the few times she was nice she'd actually let herself be petted. One day we went back to grandma's, but the dog didn't made her usual biting charge, so I waited...and waited. I asked mom and she explained this whole deal with me, that the dog was grumpy to everyone since she was really old (fooled me, the fast bastard), and that she had died and "went to heaven". I asked her if grandma was going to die since she was pretty old herself. She said "We all do, in our time...", and I think that was the first time I was truly sad. It dawned on me this was one of those things that couldn't be fixed back, like the VCR I filled with pennies.
When she was a child my witch af mom once found a dead sea horse on the beach, and she still keeps the dried corpse in a jar somewhere on the attic. I wish I could have shown any of your non-believer parents that thing, and bewildering in a way that they aren't sure if I'm a charlatan or a collector of mythical beings' corpses.
My dad was 30 something when he realized his childhood dog was not actually living in a farm in the countryside, and we only found out cuz we actually had to give our dog to our farmer in the countryside, he made a joke and my mom said "you do realize that it died and your parents didn't tell you... right?" He nearly cried
That's kind of odd since the dog would have most likely passed anyway by then. Was it just because he never really thought about the dog's death even though he knew it likely happened, or that the dog didn't spend the rest of his days (presumably) happy on a farm?
Did your mom actually know for sure the dog had died? When I was in my teens, we took in a border collie that was not suited for city living, so we eventually gave it to a farmer living in the countryside. It was a real farmer, and a real farm, full of chickens and goats and pasture - and the dog was much happier there. I have spent the last four decades having to deal with "helpful kind" friends who were't there tell me "you do realize that it died and your parents didn't tell you... right?" The first few times I was utterly confused when they told me there was no farm and the dog had really died. They would look at me pityingly when I insisted the dog hadn't died, and the farm was real. Then they would shrug and be like, well maybe your parents were telling the truth... and then I would insist the dog had lived, and I had visited it and everything, and I would get really upset at these "kind" people trying to break this sad news to me that my parents had lied when they really hadn't. I never mention the dog anymore, because there will invariably be someone who tells me it really died when it didn't. If your father's dog really died then I'm sorry he had to find out like that.
There is an episode of King of Queens we’re Doug adores his childhood dog an his wife tells him the dog was replaced every few years. The fact he never realized dogs didn’t outlive humans made was hilarious.

Tried to be the cool dad who knows what his daughter is into. Told her Japanese teacher that she was really into Hentai. Hentai is NOT Anime.... learned that at age 46. My daughter is still angry 3 years later.
@@biscuit9712 ikr. Worst thing was the teacher didn't react at the time. It was when I proudly explained what I said to my daughter later that day when she came home that I found out what I had done.
lzot In the Japanese language, “hentai” actually means “pervert”, “perverted”, “perverted sex acts”, and things like that. It depends on the context. Only in the West is anime porn called hentai, but more and more people are learning that Westerners call it that
My friend bought some cucumbers and said that he doesn't know anyone who eats them so he thought he would try them. I was surprised because he loves pickles, and said so. He said completely seriously and depressingly that he had no idea that pickles were cucumbers. We sat in silence for 30 seconds. We were both 22 at the time.
I was watching a quiz show with my 64 year old mother the other week and one of the questions was what is a gherkin? She had no idea they were small pickled cucumbers. She hates cucumbers but likes gherkins. So yeah, it was quite a shock for her. I just couldn't believe she never knew.
I was in my teens when I learned that adults do, in fact, throw up when they get sick. I was sad to learn this because I thought that once I was 18, I would magically never have to puke again.
I've never thrown up for at least 15 years, maybe 20. Almost never even felt nauseous. I'm 38 and don't drink. As a kid though, I got the stomach bugs same as everyone else.
My parents used to tell me that adults didn't puke after 18. I was extremely surprised becoming a grown up and watching adults have the stomach flu. I'll still never understand why my parents told me this as I have a chronic illness that causes me to vomit since I was 5. Parents are weird.
Meh basically true unless you drink. You have to be really really unusually sick as an adult. I know many people who haven't been sick once as an adult

Cody it’s described as an egg to make it more child friendly, it’s actually a medieval siege engine, a trebuchet I think. Why else would all the kings horses and all the kings men try to put an egg back together again? It’s a no brainer that once an egg breaks it’s done.
Humpty Dumpty was a bomb apparently, they just say egg for children. Also ring around a Rosie is about the Black Death and in rock a bye baby in the tree top, it’s about a baby dying.
I thought that too until I watched a Coyote Peterson video and he talked about wolverines. In my defense I have to say that I'm spanish and the closest word I knew to Wolverine is Wolf and I thought a Wolverine was a wolf pup....in spanish we have different words to wolf and wolf pup. Also the translation from the movies and comics was Lobezno=wolf pup. So the translation misleaded a lot of spanish speakers.
Well, I just learned another thing by googling what Wolverines are called in German: "Vielfraß". Never heard of them, although the word "Vielfraß" roughly translates to extensiv eater, which until now I thought was just an common german insult for someone who eats to much ^^ didn't know there was an actual Animal
Here in Australia we don’t have wolverines, they are mostly unknown. I first heard about them from the 80’s movie Red Dawn (Russia invades the USA) where the high school football team were called Wolverines and the resistance adopted the name.
Not really the greatest story to share, but When I was around a year old my father died. As I got a little older I started asking questions. Someone had told me that my dad took a hot-air balloon ride (forget how its phrased) and that he went up so high that heaven had to take him, and he couldn't come back down... I had told all my friends that was how my father died. And I fully believed that if you crossed a certain point, that you became an angel. I will say, Finding out how he really did die made me appreciate that I was given this story instead, because it just wasn't something you can explain to a five (or so) year old.
@@akio0191 no it's ok, I'm fine answering that. He was murdered in a bar on Valentine's night 1988. I actually don't even know the full story, but from what I do know, he went to meet a female friend there. They were joined by a man who sat with them, drank a beer, and said he'd be right back. When he returned he had a sawed off shotgun, which he used to kill him. I've always wondered what happened to this guy, how long he served, if he's still alive living a life with a family... many many questions, but no one in my family will talk about it.
wait, a little different but i always saw it as primadonna😂 so instead i just thought it was one word and like a name of a person😂 it makes sense now reading it as PRIMA donna 💀

Up until we got internet in our home (I was around 19) and I started to read and see things from all around the world, I didn't know that having a religion was still a thing. I knew people were religious back in the middle ages, but it just never occured to me that it was still a thing in the present. I didn't know that churches still had actual functions apart from weddings and some other ceremonies from time to time. I had no idea people were still going there. Nobody in my family or around me in the school was religious, and we never talked about these things. And because the whole idea of a god was so preposterous to me even as a kid, I never even thought about religion being a real thing in the present day. I just assumed that it was a good way to explain things to people when they knew almost nothing back in the day, and that was it's main purpose.
@@arczi1309 Haha, it just shows how much it matters the environment you are being brought up in. It's so easy to get information nowadays, and knowing English you can pretty much communicate with people from all over the world, see their view points and value systems. This is why I think we have to be more forgiving to people who has extremely backward and immoral views, most of them have lived all their lives in places where there is absolutely no way of being exposed to new ideas and proper education. We have to be firm in protecting our values, but we must try our best explaining to these people why we stand where we stand on those issues, and have to keep in mind that it's pure luck that we were born in open and more free societies, where having different opinions has no negative consequence, it only provides opportunities for debates, through which we can further develop.

When I was five I put a large snail into my grandparents' yard. The next morning there were many small snails next to it and my grandma told me it had given birth. Fifteen years or so later grandma told this story during family dinner and admitted that she had just collected smaller snails and the big one had not given birth at all. I was so disappointed.
I thought the talking tree from pocahontas was real and when I visited Jamestown I asked a guide "is grandmother willow still alive?" And she and my daycare teacher just laughed and I remember just doing that iconic stare that kids do when you know they're silently judging you.

Personally, I was 13 when I learned ISIS wasn't a country, and I was 11 when j found out Obama and Osama Bin Laden weren't the same people (yes I thought the president of the United States did 9/11 for 11 years of my existence)
In German we call isis just "IS" and I had an hour long argument with my American friend about which was worse, isis or IS before either of us realised we were talking about the same thing when we were like 14/15
when I was like 5 and heard the term "ums Leben kommen" which is another word for dying in German, I thought it meant that people didn't die. Like, if the news reported that "7 people sind ums Leben gekommen", meaning 7 people died, they were saying that 7 people survived so I'd always go "Yesssss" when I heard it. No one bothered to explain.
German is not my native language but I watched TV in German. I remember hearing the phrase 'einen Korb kriegen' in Winx club and I was really confused as I thought that 'Korb kriegen' meant that you are the the one that scores, so I always assumed that that meant you actually succeeded in getting the girl. Turns out that nope 'einen Korb kriegen' means the opposite team got the point and that you didn't get the girl. Thank you really much Sky and Kiko

When I was younger, my country had just escaped the chains of communism. There weren't many people of colour or people from different ethnicities in my country. When I began seeing black people on TV or real life, I though they were made of chocolate and I was very jealous.

I'm Dutch and went to a Catholic school when I was young, but I was never raised with a religion. So whenever around Christmas the teachers would tell the story of Jesus, I always thought it was just a fairytale like sleeping beauty or red riding hood hahah. Every morning we had to sit in a circle and say "to the father son and holy spirit, Amen" (I always thought that this was just a way of greeting each other goodmoning lol). Now...these first 3 words are all words that you could use in daily life as a kid, like father and son etc. But Amen isn't a daily word if you don't know religion. So I always said "to the father son and holy spirit, HAMMER" ('Amen' and 'hammer' sound pretty similar in Dutch). I will never forget the face of my teacher when she found out I had been saying it like this for years 😂😂😂😂😂 She wasn't pleased, to say the least...

Here's one from me: I grew up in an American military family and lived in Japan for the majority of my life and was kind of out of the loop when it came to a lot of the things in the states. Anyways, when I was 12 or so, we finally moved there after my father retired from the Navy and while in middle school we were reading either Tom Sawyer of Huckleberry Finn (don't remember which one). Anyways during this reading, we stumble upon the N word of which everyone is losing their shit over, while completely uninformed me, raise my hand and with full confidence ask the teacher, "Excuse me what is a N-word" of which everyone absolutely loses it. My teacher, thinking I was just trolling and wanted to say the N word, gets absolutely furious at me and scolds me and I ask it again twice more of which they immediately send me to the discipline office, where I have to explain to the one in charge that I had no clue what it was since I grew up in Japan for all my life until that point and had no clue what it was. As a result of that incident, I got branded as a racist in a southern countryside school in Tennessee. Absolutely ironic and hilarious to think back on to be honest.
You would lose your mind over "Coming to America" then, Eddie Murphy played two of the old barber shop geezers who sat around arguing about boxers.

When I was in pre school, I remember my dad writing my full name inside my backpack. And I thought I had only my first name at the time, so my dad put My name And then my middle and last name. And I kept trying to erase it because I thought my dad either forgot my name, got it wrong or just didn’t know at all. But then he told me, that it was my full name. And I was so confused, learning about my full name at the time. I was kinda upset too know that I had a full name.....especially since I didn’t know or even learned how to spell it. EDIT: I just realized that this is a older video.....definitely not awkward.

When I was a kid I used to love going to the dentist cause they had tv’s to watch and I always felt like I was laying on a cloud. I was talking to my mom recently and was like “man, I miss that old dentist I used to go to, I always felt like I was floating on a cloud....wait...did they drug me?” And it was on that day I learned i was likely on laughing gas for most of my visits

The United Kingdom is the political collection which was basically made to save the Scotland going bankrupt around 17th century, so named because the British monarchy was a mix of English and Scottish, then Wales and Northern Ireland joined the United Kingdom, making it 'the United kingdom's of great Britain and Northern Ireland', which is shortened to The UK to make it easier for everyone writing. The UK is itself a country, with international rights and government, but paradoxically everyone inside the UK still considers themselves as unique countries, with northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland having their own individual governments, who still have to follow UK law (to a degree).

@@DarwinskiYT I think part of the reason is so it is harder for them to get pregnant if they get out and to avoid a mess when they rub up against stuff.
@@DarwinskiYT Clarification from a long-time dog owner: 'pad in the corner of the hallway' wouldn't cut it in all cases. Example 1) old, incontinent dog: might not make it there in time. Especially if it walks badly. Example 2) female dog in heat (on period): that's more of a semi-constant losing of small drops of blood. Now, some dogs are really good at keeping themselves clean and it's not a problem, but most would leave droplets wherever they walk (and possibly more, if they lay in the same spot sleeping for an extended period of time). So that's why there's diapers and / or panties with pads. Preventing pregnancy isn't so much part of it (mostly) cause you usually take them off outside anyway, so the dog can go about their business... but if it has taken care of that already, they could be used in this way, I guess, on a play date for example. :) Otherwise, just keep the dog leashed "in that time", they're prone to running off then anyway.

My history teacher told me about a 14 year old girl who didn’t know that she was going to die.
Apparently, my teacher said something like: Oh, well we’re all going to die anyway, and she started crying.
Her mom called the next day, saying that the girl didn’t know about death, and could not stop crying.....soooo yeah
Damn, that's a shitty thing to find out late
Well her mom sucks that’s like number one thing you make sure you kids can cope with properly
I think I learned about death when I was 4. My grandma had this shitty oldass chihuahua that was a real prick to me. Like she legit would go out of her way to nip me, until I learned to kick back. Still, the few times she was nice she'd actually let herself be petted.
One day we went back to grandma's, but the dog didn't made her usual biting charge, so I waited...and waited. I asked mom and she explained this whole deal with me, that the dog was grumpy to everyone since she was really old (fooled me, the fast bastard), and that she had died and "went to heaven". I asked her if grandma was going to die since she was pretty old herself. She said "We all do, in our time...", and I think that was the first time I was truly sad.
It dawned on me this was one of those things that couldn't be fixed back, like the VCR I filled with pennies.

My dad was 30 something when he realized his childhood dog was not actually living in a farm in the countryside, and we only found out cuz we actually had to give our dog to our farmer in the countryside, he made a joke and my mom said "you do realize that it died and your parents didn't tell you... right?"
He nearly cried
That's kind of odd since the dog would have most likely passed anyway by then. Was it just because he never really thought about the dog's death even though he knew it likely happened, or that the dog didn't spend the rest of his days (presumably) happy on a farm?
Now that's just sad :[
Did your mom actually know for sure the dog had died? When I was in my teens, we took in a border collie that was not suited for city living, so we eventually gave it to a farmer living in the countryside. It was a real farmer, and a real farm, full of chickens and goats and pasture - and the dog was much happier there. I have spent the last four decades having to deal with "helpful kind" friends who were't there tell me "you do realize that it died and your parents didn't tell you... right?" The first few times I was utterly confused when they told me there was no farm and the dog had really died. They would look at me pityingly when I insisted the dog hadn't died, and the farm was real. Then they would shrug and be like, well maybe your parents were telling the truth... and then I would insist the dog had lived, and I had visited it and everything, and I would get really upset at these "kind" people trying to break this sad news to me that my parents had lied when they really hadn't. I never mention the dog anymore, because there will invariably be someone who tells me it really died when it didn't. If your father's dog really died then I'm sorry he had to find out like that.
@@ians2777 It's kind of obvious the dog woudn't live forever, he probably cried because he thought it was living the rest of his life happy in a farm.

To be fair, Hugh Jackman also thought Wolverine was named after wolves. He didn't even know wolverines were real animals.

In my defense I have to say that I'm spanish and the closest word I knew to Wolverine is Wolf and I thought a Wolverine was a wolf pup....in spanish we have different words to wolf and wolf pup. Also the translation from the movies and comics was Lobezno=wolf pup. So the translation misleaded a lot of spanish speakers.

Well, I just learned another thing by googling what Wolverines are called in German: "Vielfraß".

Here in Australia we don’t have wolverines, they are mostly unknown. I first heard about them from the 80’s movie Red Dawn (Russia invades the USA) where the high school football team were called Wolverines and the resistance adopted the name.

Not really the greatest story to share, but When I was around a year old my father died. As I got a little older I started asking questions. Someone had told me that my dad took a hot-air balloon ride (forget how its phrased) and that he went up so high that heaven had to take him, and he couldn't come back down... I had told all my friends that was how my father died. And I fully believed that if you crossed a certain point, that you became an angel.
I will say, Finding out how he really did die made me appreciate that I was given this story instead, because it just wasn't something you can explain to a five (or so) year old.

When he returned he had a sawed off shotgun, which he used to kill him.

Up until we got internet in our home (I was around 19) and I started to read and see things from all around the world, I didn't know that having a religion was still a thing. I knew people were religious back in the middle ages, but it just never occured to me that it was still a thing in the present.
I didn't know that churches still had actual functions apart from weddings and some other ceremonies from time to time. I had no idea people were still going there.
Nobody in my family or around me in the school was religious, and we never talked about these things. And because the whole idea of a god was so preposterous to me even as a kid, I never even thought about religion being a real thing in the present day. I just assumed that it was a good way to explain things to people when they knew almost nothing back in the day, and that was it's main purpose.

I grew up in an American military family and lived in Japan for the majority of my life and was kind of out of the loop when it came to a lot of the things in the states.
Anyways, when I was 12 or so, we finally moved there after my father retired from the Navy and while in middle school we were reading either Tom Sawyer of Huckleberry Finn (don't remember which one).
Anyways during this reading, we stumble upon the N word of which everyone is losing their shit over, while completely uninformed me, raise my hand and with full confidence ask the teacher, "Excuse me what is a N-word" of which everyone absolutely loses it.
My teacher, thinking I was just trolling and wanted to say the N word, gets absolutely furious at me and scolds me and I ask it again twice more of which they immediately send me to the discipline office, where I have to explain to the one in charge that I had no clue what it was since I grew up in Japan for all my life until that point and had no clue what it was.
As a result of that incident, I got branded as a racist in a southern countryside school in Tennessee. Absolutely ironic and hilarious to think back on to be honest.
You got branded racist for not knowing what the n word is? Kids are fucking stupid, that makes no sense. Good story though.
Damn and the teacher never apologize for the misunderstanding or did you get punished anyway?

When I was a kid I used to love going to the dentist cause they had tv’s to watch and I always felt like I was laying on a cloud. I was talking to my mom recently and was like “man, I miss that old dentist I used to go to, I always felt like I was floating on a cloud....wait...did they drug me?” And it was on that day I learned i was likely on laughing gas for most of my visits
It's insane that dentists drug you in the US while in my country (Finland) they never do that as it's simply not necessary
@@sanna9062 same here in Canada (at least Québec), they dont drug you on laughing gas etc, they only do localized anesthesia, they only freeze the part of your mouth that could hurt while doing repair and other more painfull procedure
@@sanna9062 Some do, but they don't usually. It sounds like they were doing it preemptively. Laughing gas is usually only brought out if you still feel pain during the procedure. Only time I've had it was when I got my wisdom teeth out and they shattered.
I've never had gas and I begged for it. I've learned that they only use it for ppl who are terrified of needles or Novocaine isn't enough
Let me re-phrase that for ya,” Man, I love going to the dentist because I get high and watch tv for an hour while a stranger sticks pointy stuff in my mouth and shines blindingly bright lights at me! It’s so fun when they give me a toy and don’t tell me the put drugs in my 7 year old body for extended periods of time, then I trip on my own shoe because they gave me to much of the medication that wasn’t even prescribed to me and I end up breaking my nose and toy and nobody batts an eye at the dentistry!”
It's embarrassing how I'm actually learning from this

My mom didn’t know that there were 60 seconds in a minute (she thought there were100) until she was a senior in hs smh
Edit: oh yeah and she ended up becoming a teacher too
Until I was in my 30’s I thought a quarter till meant 25 minutes.
But that's like, elementary math.
How the hell did she ever pass math
I used to be an education major. It's terrifying how dumb a lot of them are. Not all, but a highly comcerning percentage are. I didn't survive the major, but that was because I couldn't overcome my anxiety, not because of a lack of content knowledge.
ripvanderwinkle lazy teachers pass kids because of personal and mostly stupid reasons. My son was passed because he is super tall and they were trying to get him to play basketball. He was going into the 7th grade and when tested for home school he was on a first grade level across the board.

As a Canadian, I don't understand how the UK works.
@@lullah7722 Wait the UK is not a country ? I really need to look that up...
So I googled it and I'm now even more confused. The UK is a country with countries within it.
@@randomrandom450 essentially, you begin with the British Isles, which are all the islands in geographical Britain, the largest being Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain is the land mass which has Wales, Scotland and England, but all 3 also own islands around great Britain which are not a part of great Britain, such as the Isle of Wight. The United Kingdom is the political collection which was basically made to save the Scotland going bankrupt around 17th century, so named because the British monarchy was a mix of English and Scottish, then Wales and Northern Ireland joined the United Kingdom, making it 'the United kingdom's of great Britain and Northern Ireland', which is shortened to The UK to make it easier for everyone writing.
The UK is itself a country, with international rights and government, but paradoxically everyone inside the UK still considers themselves as unique countries, with northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland having their own individual governments, who still have to follow UK law (to a degree). Then, you through the EU on top of that who also have their own laws layered ontop of the UK laws layered ontop of the Scottish laws layered ontop of the local council laws.
@@mickys8065 Interesting. So are the... hum how to call em... countries inside UK a bit like provinces or states ? It sounds legally confusing...

Similar to the dog in heat I for the longest time thought “Netflix and Chill” actually meant watching Netflix and chilling (I first heard the term when I was 16 and only got enlightened almost four years later)
What it means?
I actually thought the same thing until 30 ROFL.
@@alexandre_master It means watching netflix then having sex. LOL
Technically that is what it means, the joke is that dudes will say thats what they wanna do to get you to come ober, and then try to have sex with you... So because of that joke its like code for sex now lol
Sigh. Yeah. I realized it at age 23 when I said it in university to another student and the whole class looked at me funny. They thought I had publicly asked him for a hookup.
When I was like 5, my older cousin told me coconuts were monkey eggs. I believed this for a whole year after that
I was today years old when I found out beetles and beatles were spelled differently. I guess I assumed they were both spelt the same and didn't realize.
It took me a bit to realize that my parents had names other than Mama and Papa.
"Dear Helen. Who's Helen?" Thats my first name Bobby.
I remember specifically learning that grandparents are your parents’ parents. I was 4, 5, or 6, and I guess I’d just always thought grandparents were old people assigned to your family to be helpful and kind.
Let me guess- they named you “California Dreamin”
I was also confused when I was 6 years old and found out my parents were not called “mama” and “Tata”
I has spend 14 years on this planet before i learned that lungs aren't actually these paper thin, pink balloons in my chest, but actual quite solid organs.
When I was younger I thought that Guinea pig is a fish because in my language it's called Sea Piglet

SEA PIGLET!! LMFAO THATS AWESOME

Justyna In Norway its pronounced as “Mars Pig” (even tho the meaning of the word is supposed to be sea pig) which made me think they were an alien species from Mars
I was surprised when I told my mom that meat was muscle and she didn't know.
I've told like 10 people and about 8 didn't know that, I thought that was common knowledge but I guess not lol
When I was around 15 in biology class, my classmate was confused about that too "Wait meat is muscle ???" so I asked him what he tough meat was and answered "flesh". You know that useless part of the body that only exists to feed whoever wants to eat you.
Not so embarrassing or crazy but more of a facepalm. For 18 years of living i for some reason believed that white creamy or squared stuff restaurants put on top of your pancakes was whipped cream so I always took it off my pancakes with disgust since I cant stand whipped cream. Only to have my mom question me about why I removed it since I liked it one day which was the day I had an epiphany. Turns out the whipped cream I've always removed and gagged at was actually just butter this entire time. I couldn't believe I've been missing out and fooled that crap my whole life. Smh🤦🏽♀️
You know what is embarrasing though?Me never even BEING in a restaurant my entire life.
Edit:I'm 19.
But how did you think butter has wiped cream? Did you know what butter was? Did you think the butter was called while cream and whiped cream was the same thing just looked different?
Army
did you not know what butter was? did you not know it existed? how is that possible
Omggg i hated whipped cream until i was like 10 because i thought i just tasted like milk.. i still have no idea what i ate that one time
When I was 24, my wife, then girlfriend, took me to a pet store to buy menstruations diapers for her dog. I asked her if that even existed and she laughed out loud and asked me how the hell was I a 7th grade biology teacher???
Yeah sorry parents, that was 7 years ago. I’m way smarter now and still married to her, thankfully.
I learned this a few weeks ago when these dog diapers appeared in my Amazon recommended and I laughed at them thinking who would buy underwear with a dick hole. I showed my parents and we all were in tears until I swiped to a picture where a dog was wearing them. I'm 22 and my parents are around 50.
There are diapers for dogs? I thought that they just had pads that you put in the corner of the hallway
@@DarwinskiYT I think part of the reason is so it is harder for them to get pregnant if they get out and to avoid a mess when they rub up against stuff.
Oh ok
@@DarwinskiYT Clarification from a long-time dog owner: 'pad in the corner of the hallway' wouldn't cut it in all cases.
Example 1) old, incontinent dog: might not make it there in time. Especially if it walks badly.
Example 2) female dog in heat (on period): that's more of a semi-constant losing of small drops of blood. Now, some dogs are really good at keeping themselves clean and it's not a problem, but most would leave droplets wherever they walk (and possibly more, if they lay in the same spot sleeping for an extended period of time).
So that's why there's diapers and / or panties with pads. Preventing pregnancy isn't so much part of it (mostly) cause you usually take them off outside anyway, so the dog can go about their business... but if it has taken care of that already, they could be used in this way, I guess, on a play date for example. :) Otherwise, just keep the dog leashed "in that time", they're prone to running off then anyway.
I had an embarrassing amount of "oh shit yeah" moments while watching this.
At the age of 13 we went for the first time to have McDonald's, and and got a chocolate brown spoon with the softie. My dad told me it was an edible spoon. Glad that my mother immediately cleared off the air.

One time when I was like 6 or 7 my brother told me that “fruit” was the F word. I didn’t believe him, and asked why a type of food would be a bad word and he said that it was a a word with multiple meanings. I believed him for months and I avoided saying “fruit” at all costs. Finally was told that wasnt the case when I accidentally said it and began crying infront of my mom 😂
According to Urban Dictionary, "fruit" means a flamboyant homosexual.

Satans “pitch”fork is actually a tuning fork, it has 3 points rather than two because it is for tuning to the devils “tri-tone” the basis of blues music... this interval was actually illegal to use in music at one point i think, and lucifer was the best musician of all the angels so...
HOLY SHIT
I love the sound of Tritones though, I feel like they should be used more often, especially in classical music

I'm not an acoustic engineer or nothing but shouldnt a tuning fork meant to produce a tritone have at least 4 prongs if not 6?
