And champagne and sherry and liqueurs and whiskey and shots and beer

I thought a wine glass was a wine glass. I never knew there are different glasses for red and white. The difference is the shape and the length of the stem. I was gobsmacked

Edited - there's no difference in the feet of both

The difference in beer glasses blows my mind

i wasn't aware of this either! but it reminded me of the fact that my partner was 34 when he learnt that soup spoons exist, and they are specifically for eating soup - as opposed to the rounded dessert spoon shovels he assumed they were when he first saw them, y'know, for occasions when you want to scoop huge spoonfuls of dessert into your mouth!

………and cocktails have their own glasses too and it really pisses me off if I get served a daiquiri in a martini glass or even worse a straight glass………

………I need to get out more

You can pop your sky remote control in the washing machine - let it dry, replace batteries and it will still work

I'm a bit miffed as I saw one of those "Things I didn't know until my 30s" or something videos on TikTok about car sun visors.

The guy in the video demonstrated how you can apparently extend the visor (after un-clipping it and flipping it to cover the top of the door window).

Tried it in my car yesterday (Fiat 500). It did not extend.

So is it just a US/Canada thing? Do only certain makes and models of cars have this? Is it all just a joke?

I've seen this loads and it's always been a US video.
I have never had a car you could do it to. Nor do I know anyone else that has

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.
