“What Was Your ‘I Can’t Believe I Have To Explain This To An Adult’ Moment?” (34 Replies)

I've had pets my whole life, so while I was familiar with the concept of "male animals have nipples" (and I also had a dad so I was aware male humans had them too), I admit I was surprised when I adopted Fenring as a puppy. He had what seemed like... a LOT of nipples. More than the usual dog amount. They, in fact, extended down onto to the skin of his sheath, which resulted in his puppyhood nickname, "Nippled!ck". I'm 43, but on most days, my sense of humor is stuck at around 13 years old XD

my MIL...she has known Lou and his black nipples on white belly for 5 years. Last month she asked about "the tick"

🤦‍♀️

Can you milk a cat, Greg?

Do some people think all dogs are male? How would you get more dogs/puppies if they were all males? You need male and female in most species to create other offspring.

You can't learn something if none answers your questions.

As a kid of the 70s, we had s*x-ed in elementary school on. We knew about periods, s*x and whatnot before Jr. High. At 50, I have every reason to shake my head in disgust and disdain as I have watched the decline of everything. The stupid, it burns.

All the guys out there. Carry tampons in your glove box for two reasons. No.1 someday you will become a ladies hero when they are in need. No.2 they make great blood suppression.

I was about ten when a girl I knew endeavored to explain to me her "minnow station". My poor little brain just could not get around the notion or why she was messing around with minnows.

This is why we have men who are clueless about women's menstrual cycles. It hurts everyone with laws that make no sense.

Every time in the US history that large tariffs were enacted, the economy went into a major depression. Hold on to your pants. This is going to be a rough ride.

And that all the money the government claims to be making from tariffs is coming out of the pockets of Americans. And then this money gets used to give tax breaks ro the already wealthy

I am in my 50s and i have known since i was a child what tariffs are and what their purpose was. The reason for this was generations of politicians arguing about their use to protect the Australian automotive industry. So, what are they used for. They are used to raise the price of imported goods to force your population to buy locally. By nature, they raise prices across the board. The benefit local manufacturers and the rich, penalising the poor in the worst way. Even if you think this is good, it is only of use if you levy it on goods that you ALSO MANUFACTURE in your own country, especially if their pricing is roughly equivalent. If you do not manufacture the goods also, it becomes a defacto new tax, a stealth tax. The only good thing about that, is that you are finally taxing the rich. But, the rich are hardly effected by the price rises, were the poor are devastated.

But I bet I have to explain the same thing for "tax the rich corporations".

ask them to explain "duty free shops" if they still don't get it.

Woohoo, science and math work together to teach someone about volume!

Sometimes it's hard to tell. If you have two same-volume glasses, but one is short and fat and the other is tall and slim, then most people will think the tall slim one is larger on sight, but will think that the short fat one is larger when feeling the glasses (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/02/060213093156.htm).

When I did psychology in year 11 we did a project that included conversion of volume, testing prep (first year of school) and grade 6 students to demonstrate that it and other things developed in the ages between.

Too many people don't understand volume enough to turn it down from 11.

Doesn't mean that he doesn't know about the concept of volume, maybe he just estimated that the end result wasn't the same volume. Some glasses are very deceiving, we've all had some glasses where we guessed wrongly about how much is in there compared to a different glass.

Worked with a man who was trying to scan his fingerprint into the sensor but it wasn't working. Finally I said, "Which finger did you scan in?" He was like, "What do you mean? Doesn't it just have our fingerprints?" He had never scanned it in and was confused why it wasn't working!

When I was in my 20s, I was seeing a really nice guy. He seemed a bit clueless when it came to some subjects, but I figured he's just inexperienced. The first time we were intimate, after about 10 minutes he whispered, "When are you going to do your org*sm?" I was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean, DO it?" Long story short, he thoughit that was something that the woman has to do when the time is right, and he's got nothing to do except being there. 🤦🏻‍♀️

For some reason I cannot get over the fact that someone wanting to steal my phone would have no bussiness cutting of my finger, too, if I did not use fingerprint locking.

They really shouldn't call it "live action" then.

I was watching the first Jurassic Park with my mother, in one scene they give a cow to a dinosaur to eat, my mother asked me "Did they really let the dinosaur eat that cow alive?!"

So it wasn't live action, merely sophisticated cartooning.

"But, but they behaved in Noah's Ark." I'm sure this has been said.

An early episode of Rugrats actually portrayed this pretty well, showing what the world looked like to Chuckie without his glasses and what it looked like when someone else tried to wear them.

Wow! I don't see how you can see with thse!

Pure wisdom.

Omg really lmao

I thought everyone knew the wind is generated by wind turbines!

Of course not. It's caused by a butterfly flapping its wings halfway 'round the world.
