RE: What are some things that you strongly wish were common knowledge?
People having garage sales -

Nobody - and I do mean NOBODY - is going to pay you money for you old CRT TV, your golf clubs, your 10 year old computer or your used breast pumps......

Well - some freak might buy the pump - but do you really want that sort hanging out in your garage??

One more thing I wish was common knowledge:

Coconut milk is more dangerous to heart health than cow's milk is.

I think it is important for people to realize that, as many people switch to coconut milk precisely for the reason of heart health.

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

The acceptance is contingent upon the length of “life” being made negotiable.

And a parsec is a measure of distance, not time.   Making the Kessel run in 12 parsecs means George Lucas is an ignoramus, not that millennium falcon is fast.
