I learned the other day that “arctic” is derived from “arktos” meaning “bear”. So Antarctic means no bears, and guess what? polar bears don’t live there.

I learnt today that you can vomit your own faeces. Just to clarify, I was told this and didn’t actually do it myself!

I learnt that the fluffy wristbands tennis players wear are not for looking cool and all tennisy, They’re for wiping the sweat off your forehead instead of using your naked forearm and getting sweaty hands.
Mind was blown.

Courtesy of tattle threads (at the grand old age of 28) I learned the term 'pegging' and what it means

I only realised what a "pearl necklace" really is last year, at the age of 37. I literally thought it was doing something with an actual pearl necklace.

Today I learned more from this thread than I did from my day
That tomato soup one got me well shocked My life is just a lie

It's ridiculous - I've got a tin of soup that has 160 calories for the tin... serves 2

It's because mass produced soups have so much salt in that if they said serves 1 the traffic light symbol would be red. So they can pretend half a can is a portion and it'll only be orange.

There's something called scrotox which is botox for the balls

This was what I was thinking. I know he looks at porn but there is a bit more of a back story. We are trying for a baby and can’t because we don’t have sex pretty much. I feel rejected by him especially after finding this out.
It’s the money part also as he is always controlling how I spend money.


Thank you. I feel like I don’t want to be around him but also still love him. Just feels so shot and wish I didn’t know this or have to deal with this.


Yup! I watch porn and I’m ok with him watching it. But not paying for it and especially Onlyfans as I know that toh pay for custom videos and 121 chats etc. it feels like he has went cheated. The money is an issue as he is always discouraging me from spending my own money.


Yes this is how I’m feeling! Like he chooses porn over sex or time with me. He has literally said no to having sex with me a couple of times because he had just watched porn and had a wank. So I was literally rejected.


Yeh and I do get that part too. I don’t want to sex shame him or make him feel like he can’t have his own personal time. I would be hurt if I couldn’t feel like I could have some “self care” and was made to feel bad about it.


We aren’t struggling financially but we are watching what we spend and need to take out a loan to pay off something this year. So we are saving a lot and don’t have this money to literally be paying sex workers for. This is how I see it, paying for sex. Albeit it is online so not in person sex work.

I go without things that I want to buy l, for instance I wanted an Apple Watch and he said I didn’t need it and discouraged me from buying it. Then I find this out?!

It’s a good thing you don’t have a baby with this man yet - much easier to divorce him at this stage. He has no business controlling your money

If your spices don’t flow freely, you can take another jar and sort of run it around the glass bottom to get things moving. I can’t explain it so well so I just want to post the IG link to the original.

Spoiler: What the little nubs on the bottom of glass spice bottles are for

I tried it with cinnamon this morning and it works!

If you suffer with hormonal acne and drink skimmed milk, you aren’t doing yourself any favours! Skimmed milk is packed full of hormones compared to semi skimmed and whole...

Today I learned my husband has spent over £350 on Onlyfans over the last year! What do I do with this information?!?!?!

Rip him a new one! That money could have been spent on you!! He should not be paying for porn in this age, it’s free

I'm 30 and I only learned the other day that 50 Cent - Candy shop. Isn't about an actual candy shop.
And I realise how naive I've been

 

[Spacemonkey1972]

I’m embarrassed to say (I’m 50 but learnt this a few years ago) that I thought peppers were different. Red, yellow, orange, green. Nope it’s just 1 pepper in various forms of ripeness. I felt such a tit for not knowing

 

[roarke]

I learned today that Apple strung up nets in china to stop their over worked staff dying when they threw themselves off higher floors

Aww when he sang "let you lick the lollipop" did you think he was taking her for a chupa chup?
