@ElderWendigo @MiraLazine agree to disagree, a lot of those things I was definitely taught - if not in school then at least by adults who thought it common knowledge. Especially the nosebleeds (I had them all the time as a kid, and the amount of blood I ended up swallowing is..... A lot.) and knuckle cracking (my guess - started by teachers annoyed by kids making knuckle-noises during class)
Christopher columbus was definitely taught as an "American hero" up until he wasn't.

@pexavc A manager at my workplace reprimanded an employee for making decisions outside of their role/overstepping boundaries, during which the manager threw in the "because I'm your manager and you
need to respect my authority".
To me, this immediately makes the person in charge not worthy of respect - if a misstep occurred, there should be an explanation as to why it was a problem, how to improve and handle similar cases in the future. Demanding respect just proves you don't deserve it.

👌👌👌thanks for the tip!
Is there like a list of all the secret formatting stuff that's available?
@Infernal_pizza 😳 #TIL bugs called cochineal are almost 1/4 carminic acid! The main component used in red dye. That's nuts!
@Presi300 Yes!!! Especially ones with a view - slowly working your way to a waterfall or overlook is like finding a hidden secret in the woods. Even on repeat hikes, you get to see the seasons change etc.
@room_raccoon @MisterHavoc @Geek_King summer tea is a realm I haven't broken into yet. Iced tea on the other hand 👀
@Withers_Larue @ericbomb if it was your first ever you definitely deserved it. Here's hoping you had a bubble bath, hot soup, and a fun movie all at the same time.
@room_raccoon @MisterHavoc @Geek_King caffeine or no, to me tea is meant to be drunk like, in the evening curled up on a couch reading a book. There's just something very soul-warming about tea:)
@MiraLazine love this!! any chance you can add a submission box? (With a section for source cited ofc :p). I'm sure there's a bunch out there that people might think of and want to add.
