Did you know that when a pufferfish “puffs up,” they are filling themselves with water, not air? If you did, congratulations, you have more common sense than most, as this is not as widely known as one might think. But then again, there is so much information out there that it’s entirely possible to be unaware of “regular” things for years.

Someone asked “What is a fact that you only recently learned, but should have known for ages?” and netizens shared their best examples. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to comment your own stories below.

My girl likes moving water, but won't drink from those cat fountains. So I keep clean water in a bowl for her, and the cold watwr dribbling out of the bathtub faucet all the time. 99% of the time she's not sleeping, she's playing w the water in the tub. She's weird and almost 18 and the love of my life lol

“Oxen Are Just Employed Cows”: People Share 40 Things They Learned Embarrassingly Late In Life Human skin doesn’t have the ability to sense water. We can only tell that something is wet because of temperature or pressure, but we don’t have the proper receptors for water itself.

That’s why sensory deprivation tanks with room temperature or barely warm water work so well, and why you can’t tell if clothing left out to dry is damp or if it’s just cold.

When I read that somewhere, it was a huge mindf**k. Now I think about it constantly.

Edit: We know that humans don’t have these receptors because we know that certain animals DO. Including fruit flies and cockroaches. Which is weird.

Edit: To all the people saying that they test an object’s wetness by placing it against their lips or cheek, this is still exactly the same principle I’m describing above. You can’t feel the wetness, you’re feeling the sensation of air moving against the wetness. It’s no different from holding the object in your hand. We rely on cues like temperature and pressure to decide if something is wet.

Edit: A lot of people are saying this is b******t and I made it up because you CAN tell when something is wet. Congrats, you’re restating exactly what I already said. We rely on environmental cues to determine it. Also, what I’m referring to is hygrosensation. Do your own research. Google it.

The only reason it’s named the Spanish flu is because Spain was the only country that reported on it- many other countries had a media blackout on it.

And if you're brave enough to move them to safer grounds, they will emit a foul odor while playing dead. It stinks, but if you're willing, pick them up like a kitten (scruff of neck)and relocate. Don't worry, like skunks, the smell comes from there a**s, but! they don't douse you with the smell. It's just to deter predators.

You are only supposed to have a few crackers with your soup.

So growing up my parents were not fond of having me. So by age 5 i didn't eat unless i made my own food. So when i got to the point where i could make soup i would eat a whole sleeve of crackers for every bowl i ate. I didn't find out until just recently how unhealthy it was. I always ate soup when i was alone since its single serving. The few times i got it at a restaurant i assumed they wanted you to pay more to get the rest of the crackers so they tease you with 2 packs.


Edit: Wow, thank you for all the amazing responses. For context my parents always had food around, i was never without anything. But my parents basically ignored me whenever they were not emotionally abusing me. I couldn't tell you why, but i was often told i was a mistake. They both passed during the pandemic but i was able to build a relationship with my dad a bit before they passed. I have 2 boys of my own now and of course i am over compensating by showering them with love!

For 42 years of my life I thought that historical people who killed themselves by sticking their heads in the oven (ie Sylvia Plath) were just _metal as f**k_ and baked their brains to death, and only just learned that old timey ovens ran on highly toxic coal gas that basically knocked you out permanently.

“Oxen Are Just Employed Cows”: People Share 40 Things They Learned Embarrassingly Late In Life Another one I only learned about 2 years ago. There are people who are "mind-blind" and can't visualise objects or images in their mind. It's called Aphantasia and I (and about 3% of the population) have it. Never know other people could mentally visualise their thoughts.

**edit: Thanks for the many upvotes and replies.** Seems like this is quite interresting to many people who have it or don't understand it. I wanted to add some information that came to me during some conversations here:

1) It seems to happen in different "degrees" on a visual spectrum. Some people are also face-blind, some can visualize very simple forms like square for example. Someone here said that it's maybe like with different image qualities. Some can see images in 4K HD, some have blurry edges on their images, some see only very simple shapes, some can't image anything visual.

2) I can clearly explain to you what my house looks like, I can describe every part of my house from memory, I could draw it to you, but maybe I would get the textures a bit wrong but everything that is there every day, I can describe it. for example, the couch I sit in every day is something I could draw and know if I touch it that it's my couch, but I might get the color wrong or the texture. The older a memory, the more faded it is.

3) I don't have many memories from my childhood. It's very vague. Like not even a picture of the moment. But a blurry picture where I can't focus, I might see a face or a house that I saw many many times, or a really huge event for me as a child (like dancing in front of the whole school at a talent show) I remember the event, some details, (like the cool sunglasses I was wearing with led lights in it) but everything around it is one vague blur, no further details about the stage, theater, audience, I only remember the applaus very well ;-)


4) something else clicked: I'm a real story teller and i'm kind of a "funny guy" so people like to listen when I talk/tell stories. But I had different occassions where I'm telling something that I recall happened to me (altough maybe I would spice it up for humorous effect) , but then afterwards I had people coming up to me to say that they told ME that story and it happened to them and I guess I create a false memory as it was my own. (and felt really bad about it)

*** edit 2:
5) apparently you people SEE numbers when doing calculus?! Now I understand why my partner thinks it's odd that I "still" count with my fingers or try to write in the air. That's all I got to work with!



*Questions I still have. People who don't have this. Can you really taste a taste when thinking about it, and smell a smell?*.

I also have Aphantasia. I also write in the air! For some reason, It is easier for me to sort of remember an image if my eyes are open and just think about the picture. When I close my eyes, all is black.
