We all learn things at different points in our lives, but there are some things that we should know a lot sooner than we do. Sometimes, these things are embarrassing to admit that we only found out about, and it makes us cringe to let people know. However, at least you didn’t spend your whole life not knowing, right?
How Often You Have to Clean the Toilet
The toilet is used multiple times a day, sometimes by various people, yet unless you know it needs a cleaning, you don’t bother thinking about it. It’s also not the most excellent job, so it’s wholly avoided in many households. Because of how often a toilet is used, it should be given a good clean at least once a week. This will prevent germs from spreading and keep up with your house’s general cleanliness.
The Arrow Points to the Side the Gas Tank Is On
When you look at your dashboard and see the little arrow next to the petrol tank, that is to inform you which side your gas tank is on. Nothing is more frustrating than arriving at a petrol station and forgetting which side your tank is on. Car manufacturers know this annoyance, so they’ve put the little arrow to help you in times of need.
That You’re Meant to Spit Toothpaste Out After Brushing Your Teeth
Toothpaste isn’t meant to be swallowed at all because of the fluoride in it. If you swallow toothpaste, you might end up with dental fluorosis, an enamel defect on your teeth that can cause white spots and lines. If you ingest too much of it, it can lead to vomiting, gastrointestinal pain, and diarrhea. Yuck!
How to Pronounce “Salmon”
Even though the word has an “L,” it doesn’t mean it needs to be pronounced. Like many words in the English language, it’s a silent letter, so really, Salmon is called Samon. Strange, but true.
South Africa Is a Country and Not a “Region” Like Southern Africa
This is a confusing one, and many people do not know this fact. You might begin to question whether South Dakota isn’t a region, but it is. The things you can learn are wild, even if it is a bit late in life.
How a Lady Gets Pregnant
Not every family sits down with their teenagers and explains how babies are made, and for good reason. It’s an embarrassing topic, and nobody wants to talk about it. However, this can lead to quite a sheltered life without knowing how it happens, and then this can also lead to unprotected sex and unwanted pregnancies. Be careful, and remember always to be safe.
The Importance of Saving Money
Even though many of us were told by our parents that “money doesn’t grow on trees,” we’re all a bit young and naive not to believe it does. However, money doesn’t grow on trees; you have to earn it. Once you’ve made it, it’s essential to save money for rainy days, or if something breaks, you need to pay for it to get mended.
Lindsay Lohan doesn’t have a twin.
The Parent Trap with Lindsay Lohan is so well done that for many years (and still today), people thought Lindsay had a twin sister. Well, she doesn’t. She played the two characters well, and it was done very cleverly. We’re all a little bit gutted that she doesn’t have a twin, though, and it takes away the actual reality of the movie.
French Fries Are Made From Potatoes
We all prefer a french fry to a standard chip, and because they taste so good, many people think they must be made with something other than a plain potato. You’re mistaken, though. French fries are made from potatoes and cooked in the same manner as any other chip.
That the ABCs Is the Same Tune as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
We would love to know how many people blasted out these two tunes to see if this was fact or fiction. You’ll be thankful when your baby wakes you up in the morning, and you can create your little remix to get them back to sleep. You’ve got two songs for the price of one!
