What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

I wish I took a screenshot, but I just learned that, apparently, a 30-minute compilation of Peppa Pig episodes counts as an ad for YouTube now.

While many high-rise buildings in the West skip the 13th floor, the 4th floor is also skipped in China, because of the similarity of the words 'four' and 'death' in Mandarin.

Apparently, there's a dialect of English centered in Toronto that borrows a LOT from Jamaican patois. And I discovered this in the most shit way possible:





... And yes, that is Drake on the second verse.

Never knew what the initials of the title for the show M.A.S.H. meant until now.

An episode of Gray's had me look it up after the character Hunt mentioned a MASH unit.

In the category of “racial stereotypes I didn’t know were a thing until yesterday”: apparently, 4chan thinks that black people cannot properly answer the question “How would you feel if you didn’t have breakfast this morning?”

I don't get it.

Apparently, people with an IQ below 90 can’t grasp hypothetical questions like that. At least according to an anon who claims to have worked with a study in Stanford Prison on prisoners in San Quentin. Key words being “anon” and “claimed.” Unless anyone can trawl through psych journals to find recent studies on how San Quentin prisoners with IQs lower than 90 deal with hypothetical questions, I’m going to assume that this is just made up from whole cloth.

And, naturally, when you post this on /pol/, where they think black people are inferior* (including mentally), the conclusion becomes inescapable.

I literally just learned this morning that you can use the volume buttons on the side of your phone to take a picture with the camera app.

I've been doing that accidentally for years.
