Things everybody should know but for some reason, most don't.

[Kolby Jack]

List some things that to you seem like common sense, yet you find most people you deal with in everyday life seem to not understand. Inspired by this one I just had to deal with:

The toilet is NOT a trash can! Paper towels and wet wipes NEVER go in it! Those aren't NEARLY the same thing as toilet paper! Toilet paper is specifically designed to dissolve in septic tanks. You know what isn't? PAPER TOWELS!!!

Ugh, roommates.

Anyway, list some of your own.

User Agreements will usually have something that fucks you over. iTunes, according to Cracked since I can't be bothered checking myself, records your internet history.

Damnit, I just watched sooo much QI. Now I can't even decide what I want to mention here!

60% of people in my school (Australia, <Year 11) don't know what WWI or WWII are!
I mean, WHAT THE FUCK? No seriously, WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
Some have never even heard of the Gallipolli landings!

Those were three of the biggest events in Australia in terms of the ANZACS, and they haven't heard of them! I mean we were getting bombed in WWII!

Gah! I hate what our society is turning into >.>

Some of the really simple things like 'just be nice to people'. It's amazing how many people act like dicks and think there are no consequences.

Yeah, it really is depressing. You can't afford to forget things like wars, cause then you forget why some people hate you. If you forget about the wars of the past your going to start the wars of the future.

Bins are designed for rubbish! You know that feast you just had at McDonalds? Your rubbish goes straight in the bin! People in public throwing litter everywhere when there's a bin nearby do my head in too. I just don't see how people can be so fucking lazy! D:~~

Manners too, I'm not quite sure how some people reach adulthood and don't know how to use manners. It's depressing.

Don't worry, the ones that do will probably think the Australians (nobody else taking part) won.

Saint George was Palestinian, and never set foot in England.

Saint George was Palestinian, and never set foot in England.

That's a bit of a stretch (the Palestinian bit... though you'd be surprised how many people think he was English...).

OT: How many (English) kids these days haven't heard of Robert Walpole... ah well, thankfully that point doesn't impact upon my life that much...

Pi is 22 divided by 7, just in case you have a calculator without a Pi button and urgently have to calculate the circumference of a circle.

There was an article republished in mX today that showed most Australian 6th graders think cotton comes from animals, and 45% don't know where bread and cheese come from.

really? considering thats the first (and often only) they we are taught in history clas I find that surprising....

Dreamworks Disney are PIXAR are not the same things

Disney owns PIXAR but thats it

PIXAR films should not be refered too as "disney" films

Ahem...
[HEADING=3]WRONG![/HEADING]
Pi is not a rational number, it never terminates and does not repeat. All rational numbers can be shown in the form x = a/b, Pi, not being rational, cannot be accurately represented by 22/7 as this totally goes against what Pi is, an irrational number.

You can say that Pi is approximately 22/7, although it is as easy to remember 3,14.

Sorry. That may have been a little harsh

OT: Everyone should know that Chernobyl was not a good example of normal nuclear-fission power-generation and that "theory" in English does NOT mean the same, or even a similar thing, to what theory means in science.

Absolutely no one else in my school knows what Animaniacs and Freakazoid are.......

That's what we were told to remember in my Electronics classes, as several formulas we used relied on pi. It's not completely accurate, but certainly "close enough."

Reptiles don't breastfeed, hence they don't have breasts. They also have a single opening for, umm... their business.

I thought this was as widely known as the sound cats make, but the internet has proved me wrong. Thank you Deviant Art for ruining my faith in humanity. Also, Bethesda, I am looking at you. Do you know how ridiculous Argonians look with scaly breasts!? Scaly breasts is an oxymoron.

Yessiree bob, you sure went to town on that thur strawman.

Be fair, now. nothing is as well known as the sound kittehs make. Thanks to Youtube and many other time wasters, that is.

Besides, I doubt anyone's looking for realism when they make anthro humans in games or on Deviantart. How are people supposed to fap to flat-chested reptile chicks?
