This water park loop the loop slide was real and was open for a month,the slide was so dangerous that people who went on it would come out with missing teeth, the teeth would end up embedded into the slide,which other riders would come out of the slide with cuts due to making contact with the teeth.

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

Done it many times, do not recommend!

Not today, but only recently did I think about why funeral directors were once known as Undertakers <dense>
I say “once known as”, MIL still calls them undertakers…

They are still known as Undertakers aren't they? I wasn't aware the term had been phased out. It's one I hear/use regularly. Maybe this will be my 'today I learned' .

Plants cry out when they need watering except humans can’t hear them

Not me off to water my poor dehydrated one real plant I own

That domestic guinea pigs developed a language only meant for humans while wild guinea pigs obviously didnt

Personally I call it abuse as mine scream it at me

Similar one, apparently adults cats don't really meow at each other. Kittens meow at their mum but adult cats only meow at people

Even in a marriage surely we're allowed to our own private thoughts and fantasies?

It's each to their own.
Personally I'm not comfortable with my partner pleasuring themselves over other women.
Especially when that is, in many many relationships, chosen over their own partner.
Myself included. Hence my issue with it after being in a relationship where you're rejected because they'd rather look at porn. It's very common.
If that hadn't been the case previously, then maybe I would have the same view as you.

That a strawberry isn’t a fruit as such. The tiny seeds are the fruits
“A strawberry is actually a multiple fruit which consists of many tiny individual fruits embedded in a fleshy receptacle. The brownish or whitish specks, which are commonly considered seeds, are the true fruits, called achenes, and each of them surrounds a tiny seed”

in botanical terms, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries are not berries. however, bananas, kiwis, avocados, grapes are berries.

There’s a horrible trend called Swatting, where online gamers call in bomb threats on their competition and get swat teams to descend on their houses to disrupt their play.

Next day delivery means next day delivery to the courier and not to the customer. Silly me

I think my cats do this too. They mumble to themselves and then scream at me

 

[Piff paff puff]

Next day delivery should mean it’s received by the customer the following day. I’ve never found any differently.

I'm being sarcastic which obvs has been lost in translation on a forum
Let's say not all couriers deliver on the due date.

That no matter how much notice I give to have a particular day off , it wont be listened too even though I'm probably the only one to write it in the work diary I was told today that it wont necessarily be listened to. I'm booking days off for November and December and 7 months notice for a particular day off isnt enough apparently. The boss is a fucking narcissistic ego maniac. That's ok , I'll go down the official complaint route if he keeps favouring another employee over me

Club sandwich is called club because it’s Chicken and Lettuce Under Bacon

The pepper bombshell made me stop eating green peppers. It made me feel like I was eating something that wasn't ripe. Like a green strawberry.
