I kinda like hotels, even cheap one, as long as they are clean. It's a nice change of scenery. I don't have to deal with anything. I am fine with just lying on the bed relaxing.

As a kid, you must have heard people say, "Don't put your elbows on the dining table." This rule has been handed down through generations; however, it has become irrelevant due to changes in dining etiquette.

During medieval times, people sat around long, communal dining tables where a lot of people squeezed into tiny spaces or sat side by side chatting while enjoying meals together; hence, putting elbows on the table was impractical since it would make it difficult for people seated near you to eat comfortably.

Ooh! I know this one! The elbows-on-the-tables rule came into play during the Feudal times when royalty would have grand feasts and invite hundreds of nobles. The tables set up were just cobbled together (something like plywood set atop saw horses), and leaning too hard on them with your elbows would cause the whole thing to tip over. And humans, being the creatures of habit that we are, just kept going with it.

Many of us might be afraid of swallowing gum, as folklore suggests that it sits in your stomach for seven years before it can be digested. But that’s not really true.

Naturally, gum is not supposed to be swallowed, as it can’t be easily digested or digested at all. However, it doesn’t mean that it remains inside the body. It is passed out as waste, just like anything else you eat.

And also the "you like to have your head still attached to your neck" filter. Which is was so ingrained that Cromwell allegedly had to specify that he wanted a realistic picture with faults included. Seriously though, I'd really like to have my portrait painted by Winterhalter

Contrary to popular belief, your wet hair, as well as the wind or rain, are not the reasons you catch a cold. The flu is caused by different viruses that can survive on indoor surfaces like doors.

The common cold is mostly caused when you touch your eyes, nose, or mouth with contaminated hands. However, we should remember that cold weather can weaken our immune system, making us susceptible to viral infections.

The misconception that eating carrots makes your night vision significantly better is based on the fact that the vegetable is rich in vitamin A. However, while carrots can help you keep your eyes healthy, they won't grant you superhuman night vision.

Good health, especially eye health, depends on eating a balanced diet rich in different kinds of nutrients.

My 3yo son sat entranced for half an hour in a store watching the demo dishwasher with a transparent door once. Cheapest child minding I ever found. I too wish I could have bought it. Maybe there is an opportunity here to sell replacement acrylic doors.

It's a fallacy that shaving causes hair to regrow darker and thicker. Shaving removes hair from the surface, leaving behind a blunt tip that feels coarser and looks thicker when the hair grows back.

Shaving, however, has no effect on the thickness, color, or growth rate of hair because these are influenced by hormones and heredity. The texture and look of the hair revert to normal as it grows out

When I was in high school, I had a friend who was taking French. I said, "Je ne sais pas," and one of our other friends asked what it meant. I said, "I don't know." My French-learning friend couldn't stop laughing.

Exactly The Type Of Thing That Will Happen When Schools Open

PlayfulYetBored Report

The superstition that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck dates back centuries and is rooted in ancient beliefs about mirrors reflecting the soul. It was thought that breaking a mirror would harm one's soul and lead to misfortune. In reality, the fear of bad luck from breaking mirrors is purely superstitious and has no scientific basis.

I think the reason many of us just couldn't grasp the concept of NFTs, is because we couldn't believe that was all there was to it. Like, people are buying internet pictures that anyone can just screenshot? No, that can't be right.

I love this feature. Sometimes the controversial comments have it right (in my opinion) or offer an interesting perspective I hadn't considered. This is especially true in the dumpster-fire subreddit that is AITA.
