Today I Learned…

[Snippysnips]

Today I learned that ice cream van drivers are only allowed to play their jingle for 12 seconds....and only when they are stationary.

Must be different for where I am, they only play it when they are moving, they don't play it when stationary

Today I learned that a blow fish skeleton looks like this! Definitely not what I would have imagined

I’m 28 and just learnt that chickens can continuously lay eggs, they don’t have to mate with a rooster

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

I would be furious. Porn isn't the issue (for me), spending hundreds of pounds on something that's available elsewhere online for free is almost madness. (I hope you aren't financially struggling. If that's the case, the fact that it was hidden is even more distasteful.)

Today I learned that, according to my cat I don't do a great job when I clean her potty aka litter box. Apparently, still needs some crazy digging and adjusting even after I just washed and filled with clean sand

The name of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with.

...that reheating leftover chips in the toastie maker makes them piping hot and crispy again, they were like fresh. Bye to soggy next day chips.

Leftover chips, what's that. Why would there be any chips leftover.

Now you all know why I am headed for a heart attack in the not too distant future.

The Munsters tv show was shot in black and white. This is what it looked like in colour.

the different shades of pink made the greys more constrasted

There’s a pyramid in Scotland.

I learned that milk cartons (the tall slim ones, with a round button opening) are supposed to be poured the other way round, so that the button is not nearest and lowest to a cup or bowl, but above it

This stops the splashing and gushing and it pours more calmly.

(great thread, enjoying so many answers here) x

That Stonehenge is not on the border of England and Scotland. I must have always confused it with Hadrian’s Wall.

An actual thick as shit moment

Birds breath is visible in the cold weather

I got a juicy stolen paving stones case when I did jury duty. Be careful what you wish for guys….

I got theft of a sat nav. It ended the day Prince George was born. I always remember the judge saying to us “Many people remember where they were when jfk died but you can tell your future grandkids when the King was born you were dealing with a sat nav theft”

We share 50% of our DNA with trees.

Well my legs are like tree trunks so I’m not surprised!

That bin men in NYC can earn up to $77,000 per year. That’s about £55k!

 

[Archduchess of Luxembourg]

Why? (Too short)

Because he's a Count...

The lion depicted on the front of Lyle's golden syrup and black treacle tins is actually dead, not just lying down napping!

Mr Lyle was very religious and based the logo image on the biblical story where Samson killed a lion, tearing it apart with his bare hands. Bees (also depicted) then used the lion carcass as a hive and produced honey inside it....hence the strapline underneath, "Out of the strong came forth sweetness."

Also, am I the last person to discover that the mountain on a Toblerone has a bear on it? (The famous bear of Bern, Switzerland, apparently.) How have I never noticed?!

I ate a lot of asparagus yesterday and my wee smelled so bad this morning.

Hyenas give birth through their clitoris. Marsupials have two uteruses and three vaginas. Just one of them is for childbirth!

I need to find other ways to cheer up my friend who is scared and about to give birth for the first time
