What are yams then!? i have been decieved all these years thinking they are the same
apparently, many people in the UK think "yam" is the US word for sweet potatoes, while people in the US often do refer to sweet potatoes as "yams" - yet none of us actually realise that yams and sweet potatoes are two entirely different things! so when sweet potato pie recipes for thanksgiving include "yams", they are referring to sweet potoes, and not actual yams, because yams don't have orange flesh! 🤯

I always thought the bowel was like a separate organ that held stuff, like the bladder.

No idea how I didn’t know that!

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

Applying a heated spoon to a mosquito bite cooks off the protein that gets injected by the bug into your skin and is responsible for making you itch.

An air circulator and a fan are not the same thing. Air circulators create channels of circulation throughout a room whereas fans blow air like mere mortals.

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...
Cutting dairy will do wonders for hormonal acne full stop.
