That seasons start on particular days. (Sorry anon!)

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

[rubbertea]

that if you drive slower you should stay on the right lane and not overtake people
i don't even drive and that annoys me to no end :( why did you overtake us if you're going to slow down to 10km/h below the speed limit??

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

The difference between it's/its, your/you're, and their/they're/there.

that the idea of god or agnosticism isn't taken seriously in modern philosophy.

not even slightly except as thoughts experiments.

I thought it was common knowledge people should act professional while at work, and not talk about certain stuff in certain situations. For example, you should not talk about you personal/sexual life while ON A MEETING.

Seriously, I do not need to know your husband doesn't satisfy you, and neither that you want to fuck the intern so hard. Eww.

I don't think it'll ever cease to amaze me how many people have no idea that the Earth is not a sphere and that it does not, in fact, "revolve around the Sun".

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

A lot of animal care/knowledge that I thought was very basic is apparently not seen as common knowledge. Also basic knowledge about growing your own vegetables/food.

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

THAT ALL CAPS IS YELLING.

Even people I think would know better don't seem to get it.

Among US citizens, that DC citizens don't have a right to vote in federal elections.

Seriously, the number of people who have tried to tell me this... Do they think we go to the polls and then just take a match to the whole thing? That voting in DC is some kind of elaborate vanity project? That's not what the whole "taxation without representation" thing means at all.

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

So many things, but I'm not sure if it's that they're not common knowledge or I'm just surrounded by the wrong people...

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

[(Anonymous)]

I keep being surprised over and over by how little people know about firearms and how they function. I swear I once saw a fic where BBC John Watson was playing Russian Roulette with that gun he brought back from the army... the one that's a semiautomatic...

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

More like common courtesy but, when you set up something with someone then change your plans, you should warn that someone, not wait for them to ask you if everything is still on.

No, friend acquaintance, I don't act like I feel "betrayed"; i feel disrespected.

Jelly/Jello is not vegetarian.

beating a dead horse

[(Anonymous)]

One doesn't "become" gay. Not being attracted to men doesn't have a "cause". Nobody is "too beautiful" to be gay.

Notre-Dame de Paris is a real cathedral in the real world.

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

Oh god, so many things. That these things are not real:

* astrology/horoscopes - The response is usually a lot of shrieky outrage about how people are just doing for FUN, omg you killjoy.

* vaccines don't cause autisim - and that there's no proof that it's "safer" to have a delayed vaccination schedule, because even people who think the anti-vax people are nuts frequently still think there's some benefit to spreading out the vaccinations over a longer period of time.

* tarot cards/fortune telling is just cold reading/guessing or straight up lying - because pieces of cardboard do not know your future. Really. I promise.

Everything in those "30 Things You Didn't Know!" or "Ten Things You Learned that Are Wrong!" lists.

That a central part of keeping kosher is separating meat and dairy completely. No mixing together whatsoever, and really there's supposed to be a waiting time after eating meat to eat something dairy, if you're going to keep kosher to that extent. (The wait time varies from 1 to 6 hours, as I've seen.)

I find it funny that just about everyone knows that pig by-products aren't kosher, and that even a few know that shellfish isn't kosher, but so many people are completely blind to the mixed foods thing. I've even been to the homes of many secular Jews who pride themselves on cooking old-fashioned kosher foods passed down through their families, who proceed to serve some top-grade cholent or tsimes or flanken, and then for dessert have a milk-based cake. I wouldn't say I'm completely kosher as I don't check to see whether the meat I eat has been kashered and don't exactly check most of my food for kosher stamps (though I do read ingredients), but I do keep enough kosher that I hate having to decide whether I want the entree or the dessert, and not knowing that fabulous-looking cake was coming when the brisket was served out.

What tentacle sex is and how the whole Japan ♡ tentacles thing got going.

I was talking to a guy who thought it meant that tere was a guy in wore some sort of skirt with tentacles on it

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

Basic manners. If you and a friend meet up with family/friends of yours or theirs that you/they don't know, you *introduce them*. You don't just stand there talking to mystery person while your other friend is all 'who the hell is this?'

If you invite people over for dinner, host/hostess serves themselves last, and makes sure the guests have what they need, offers seconds/drinks, etc. If it's a slightly formal affair and/or people you don't know well, you *do not* expect them in any way, shape, or form to help clean up.

If you have guests coming over for an afternoon or a weekend, you fucking CLEAN UP A LITTLE. Nobody wants to use your bathroom when you haven't bothered to wipe the hair off the sink or give the toilet a quick scrub. Yeesh.

PJs and slippers are not outerwear, and shuffling through filthy snow-melt in your bunny slip-ons shouldn't even be a thing.

That Rainbow Batman is a thing. Serously, I was talking to my GF about the best batman, I theorized Michael Keaton. She Theorized Sexy Batman. I counter with rainbow Batman, and she gives me a blank look. One google search later she is enriched. How can anyone in this day and age not know about Rainbow Batman?!?!?

Such disappointment.

Also, am I the only one who remembers that Sonics nemesis is called "Dr Robotnik" and Mario's nemesis is "King Koopa". Not fucking "Eggman" and "Bowser" respectively. It seems I'm the only one I know who remembers this.

That Betty Crocker is not and was never a real person.

That there is no question among the scientific community that evolution by natural selection is real.

While I've never met people who believe these things, I have met people who insist that some people believe that it's impossible to see the moon during the daytime or that men have one fewer rib than women.

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

That you usually cannot return something without a receipt and/or if you buy and use something (especially if when it looks like you used it) and decide you don't like it you can't just return it.
I'm not sure if it's just the company I work for who does this but growing up I always assumed that was how everything ran. Then I started working customer service in retail and I swear I get 2-3 people a day who try to return something without a receipt or something they opened, used, then decided they didn't want it anymore.

Re: Things you thought were common knowledge, but aren't?

[ariakas]

Basic geography and/or history. Not ivory tower specifics, but the locations of continents/huge countries or facts you can learn from Hollywood blockbusters and don't even have to pick up a single history book to learn.

For example: people walking out of Valkyrie discussing what a "twist" it was that the conspiracy to kill Hilter failed.

For real.

Come on guys, this is your planet and your past.
